Can someone tell me when Living will be available to rent or stream? I need to watch it, same for The Whale.
I’d be thankful.Both movies are still in theaters and no official streaming release date for either has yet been announced.
I don’t know for certain but Living is likely to be released on Netflix initially because Sony Pictures has a first pay window licensing deal with Netflix. A24, which produced The Whale, doesn’t have a first pay licensing agreement with a specific streamer so The Whale could show up anywhere.
My best guess is that Living will be available for streaming before The Whale is because The Whale is currently doing better at the box office.

They will come before on itunes and digital stores to purchase right? I wonder why.FYC:
The HBO darlings everywhere (The Last of Us, Succession, The White Lotus, Perry Mason, Somebody Somewhere, White House Plumbers, Love & Death);
The Apple gang (Bad Sisters, Slow Horses, Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Black Bird);
Poker Face, The Great, The Bear, Evil (especially Katja Herbers) and The Good Fight.Please! These gays, they're trying to murder me!
The pluses and minuses of the three frontrunners for Best Actor:
Austin Butler – on the plus side for him is that he is in a biopic of a well-known entertainer. He is also in a BP nominee and is a GG winner. He ages over decades of time. On the negative side is his age and his skimpy resume.
Colin Farrell – on the plus side is that his film is a frontrunner for BP, he has been around for a long time, he has won the GG award and the film won BP at the GG’s. The film is a strong second in five categories. His only downside is that he doesn’t give a transformative performance while the other two do have that going for them.
Brendan Fraser – on the plus side is that the critic’s have been boosting him (although this is also a negative: critic’s darlings often don’t win industry awards – but his CC win was a popular win with the audience that night), he has a “transformative” performance having gained weight for the role (although most of that was prosthetics on the screen). He has the been frontrunner for months on end. On the negative side is his film isn’t nominated for BP or Adapted Screenplay and this has mattered in past years. He has been around a long time, yes, but he doesn’t have a great resume of well-liked performances that were overlooked in the past.
I will not be locking in my prediction until both SAG and BAFTA have weighed in with their winners. If the same one wins both that will definitely be the Oscar winner but if there is a split it will be between the two of them. It’s going to be interesting. For now I am predicting my favorite of the 3 – Colin Farrell.

LOCKWOOD & CO. in all categories (Bafta Tv)
If BP noms don’t matter for actress, maybe this is the year actor bucks the trend. We just bucked an 80 year trend with all 5 new nominees lol

Freeman, was the tinged writeup you did for Fraser painful for you? Lol
The Sunne in Splendour.
I prefer my roses whiteDarling, I think Brendan has to win both SAG AND BAFTA to have a good shot at the Oscar. If Colin wins BAFTA, he has the advantage as he’s following the Olivia Colman trajectory to the Oscar, which is the Volpi Cup, GG, BAFTA, and Oscar. The fact that Brendan is not in a Best Picture nominee is bad for his chances, but who knows if this is the year the streak ends. He would be the first Lead Actor winner not from a BP nominee since 2009.
We know. That’s why Fraser supporters are apprehensive about his winning.
Maybe these oscars will be a series of firsts, or anomalies. Five 1st timer nominees, a comic book character, sci-fi, a rookie lead under 35yrs, and so on.ETA: First Asian lead (please)

I prefer my roses whiteI don’t really know if I agree with this seemingly foregone conclusion that Farrell will win BAFTA. It’s not like he is a huge favorite of theirs, this is his first nomination there ever. Butler could easily take this, especially with the giant support the movie had there. And Fraser will never not be a serious contender this year, anywhere.
For Your Consideration:
The Banshees of Inisherin in ALL categories, including:
- Best Picture
- Best Director
- Best Actor (Colin Farrell)
- Best Supporting Actor (Brendan Gleeson)
- Best Supporting Actor (Barry Keoghan)
- Best Supporting Actress (Kerry Condon)
- Best Supporting Actress (Sheila Flitton)
- Best Original ScreenplayLetterboxd: Ray_In_Bruges

And Butler is? He has his disadvantages and he’s no veteran like Smith finally getting his due. We’ll know in 20 days and I can’t wait.
This Chastain comparison is getting boring. She had no competition (Kidman did absolutely nothing, Stewart only had a Globe nod and was happy to be Oscar nominated, Colman was contending for a Netflix movie and Cruz for a foreign language performance). Fraser has to beat two BP nominated performances. Even if he takes SAG, Farrell is still winning BAFTA and Oscar.
Had Close won in 2019 and the new Bafta rules been in place last year, I feel like Colman would’ve won over Chastain to be honest.
I’m predicting Fraser will get SAG and Farrell gets BAFTA. If that were to happen, would Butler still have a decent chance at the Oscar or not?

You guys think there is a chance Academy will prefer to give it to Fraser or Colin after making Elvis win in 3/4 categories? Elvis is a frontrunner in costume and makeup and it can easily take production, sound, and editing. In that case, will they decide to spread love and give Banshees something? I can see them making Colin the only Banshees win
