    Fantasia is NOT getting nominated for The Color Purple. Say what you will, feel how you feel. But you heard it from me first. You Fantasia fans are already insufferable, and y’all are about to be PISSED when she misses. She is no Whoopi Goldberg, so don’t go there.

    The wokeness immediately goes to Barrino who has not an acting bone in her body. Didn’t we learn the lesson from Zeta-Jones and Hudson Tony performances that mistakenly won Oscars. Barrino is a no-name, she is not winning.

    THANK YOU!!

    I’ll be rooting for Fantasia Barrino even tho it’ll most likely be another Dear Evan Hansen. Why I’ll be rooting for her? Because her win would make both Cynthia Erivo and Viola Davis seethe. Also Whoopi Goldberg was robbed for original The Color Purple. She should have been the first black woman to win lead actress. Period.

    No. Diana Ross should’ve been (for Lady Sings the Blues). Whoopi should’ve won but blame the NAACP for her loss.

    In 1954, Dorothy Dandridge in Carman Jones deserved to win more than Grace Kelly in The Country Girl (but my preference that year would have been Judy Garland in A Star is Born).

    Globes mean nothing, babe. Only pundits care for her. Sorry not sorry.

    If only pundits care for Carey Mulligan, how do you explain her 2 Oscar nominations, 3 BAFTA nominations (with one win), 4 SAG nominations (2 individual), and Tony nomination, all of which constitute industry and not critic/pundit “appreciation.”?

    4. If it makes eligibility: Saoirse Ronan, Blitz
    The pedigree behind the project and the Academy’s affinity for Ronan make it hard to ignore. Likely BP nominee.

    I agree but I don’t see how Blitz will make eligibility. According to IMDb, the movie is still being filmed and this article seems to confirm that as of March 13th, there was still additional filming to be done:

    well a woc directing a woc has gotten in only once here, with a harriet tubman bio.

    so idk.

    I’m really hoping it happens twice this year. In addition to Greta Lee in Past Lives, Teyana Taylor is excellent in A Thousand and One, the Sundance Grand Prize winner written and directed by A.V. Rockwell. I saw a screening recently and was incredibly impressed by Taylor. This Focus Feature is being released this Friday, March 31st, and if you want to see a really good movie with a terrific lead performance, while showing support for a film written by, directed by, and starring WOC, I recommend seeing it this weekend.

    I managed to see it during an online Sundance screening. While I thought she was wonderful – the film kind of fell apart for me during the second half. The first act with her and the youngest version of her son was magic , and the other acts never quite recaptured it.

    I’m going to see it again but the ending also felt unearned and revealed a few plot holes.

    I thought Taylor was stronger than the movie overall, and agree that the first part of the movie is stronger than the second half, but still think it’s a film well worth seeing. Among other things, it concerns the lives of people many of us have little or no familiarity with that we don’t see enough of on screen.

    Also, in general, I try to support “small” dramatic films starring and/or directed by, and/or written by women and WOC because if people don’t pay to see them in theaters, these films are simply not going to continue to be exhibited in theaters, and maybe not made at all.

    Totally agree. In addition to Teyana, I was most impressed by youngest actor playing her son, he seemed so natural on camera. I’d love to see more from them.

    The cinematography was also pretty impressive given that this is technically a period and independently produced.
