Cruise is a threat for a nom, w the field weak and open compared to recent years, he could easily sneak in especially if Maverick overperforms and slots itself in BP; just b/c he’s not playing a “bait biopic role” doesn’t mean s*

This is completely irrelevant but I’ll always think that the weirdest fact about Christian Bale is that Gloria Steinem was his stepmother.

Exactly and the acting branch opt’d for more critically acclaimed performances like Cannes Best Actor winner Antonio Banderas and veteran Jonathan Prycr. Cruise can get in at GG and SAG and face the same date as Bale.

I’d rather Cruise not get nommed at all for that “zoom in at my dimples” performance, so it pushes him to recalibrate and start working with PTA again.

Just stepped out of @TheNYFF press screening of Charlotte Wells’ AFTERSUN with Paul Mescal. This was the 10th film I’ve seen so far and the only one that got warm applause. The press is typically very sober so I thought the applause was notable @A24 @FilmLinc #NYFF60 pic.twitter.com/VfbfsU5utt

HAHA. What a joke it would be for Cruise to get nominated.

#12 for 2021 SAG Film Award Winners.

Hugh Jackman will get in. The audience will like The Son more than critics and it will probably have decent box office numbers. I think the recent Marvel related news will give it a boost. The category is not that deep anyway.

Fraser, Farrell, Butler and Jackman seem like a solid 4. Calva could get in, but newcomers don’t really happen. Bill Nighy as a Willem Dafoe/Javier Bardem/Antonio Banderas type of pick could happen.

I don’t see Tom Cruise getting nominated, it’s not that type of performance, but he’s on the mix for sure. Paul Mescal, Jeremy Pope and Kelvin Harrison Jr are all pipe dreams unfortunately, unless the GG gives visibility to one of them.

I haven’t seen the movie, but I wonder if Ricardo Darin wouldn’t stand a chance if Amazon decided to push him for Argentina 1985. The movie is getting a International Feature nomination and Darin is the biggest South American actor along with Wagner Moura.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if Paul Mescal could repeat Drive My Car and sweep its way from the trifecta to a BAFTA nom, but in Best Actor. The level of passion for his performance seems pretty big. Him winning NYFF and then the other two following the way would be a interesting move.

After watching Normal People, I concluded that Paul Mescal is really good at playing roles having gret emotional depth. This just overtakes that looks like. The trailer is wonderful. I was shocked to see my quote near the end, “The best movie of the year so far. You won’t walk away the same person“. I’m so excited for this.

Man, Darin is so overdue.

he is way ahead of Moura.

p.s. Take a picture of this rare event of a Brazilian saying that an Argentinian is better.
