I get the feeling if it was someone else doing the same exact thing as Oldman he’d be getting a lot more hype, but because it’s Oldman and everyone already knows what he’s capable of, they don’t go too crazy over another great performance from him.

…in what way did Hopkins require critics wins?

People are still pretending that it’s November and the father is a frontrunner lol

Yeah, he was excellent. Some people just want to hate on Mank.

All of the Lead Actor performances in contention are worthy for a nomination tbh. I wish the Oscars could pull a Critic’s Choice just for this category so we could get 8 nominations and a tied win.

I hope One Night in Miami comes through on amazon, there’s no passion and the buzz is muted but seems such a good movie with great performances.

There are a ton of screenings for One Night coming up if you know where to find them…

You’d think he’d steamroll with all the hype about this being one of the “greatest of all time” performances.

I’m not gonna comment in Hopkins because I fear for my life

…idk. I just don’t buy that Oldman is going to get snubbed. But if I’m wrong, I’m wrong.

I am starting to believe Sound of Metal might be a stronger contender than just Sound and Ahmed so he is locked locked locked.

My predictions for now…

Boseman
Hopkins
Lindo
Ahmed
Oldman

Gonna be pretty tough to kick one of them out of there.

I just love movies. And awards.

Im finding this acting category the hardest one to predict but I actually agree with what LLLhawks is saying that Ahmed is starting to actually look higher than Hopkins, I’ve seen far more passion behind him… though I think they’re both locked for nomination anyway.

What I’m currently needing clarity on is how big of a threat is Mikkelson, I’ve not been keeping up with critics things on the actors side but should I consider slotting him in? I won’t show what I currently have predicted as I am completely unsure about both slot 4 and 5

 

FYC:

BEST ACTRESS — CAREY MULLIGAN
BEST ACTOR — RIZ AHMED

I could be wrong, but I think he’d have needed more attention from major critics considering the US distributor for his film is Samuel Goldwyn Films, which I believe hasn’t ever had an Oscar-nominated film without a more major co-distributor. But Mikkelsen wasn’t even a runner-up anywhere at the critics trifecta. Even Bleecker Street is better for awards contenders. And yes, Another Round looks like a frontrunner for International Feature but most of the actors branch won’t be voting in that category in stage 1, so they might not see it by the deadline.

I wouldn’t predict him until the Golden Globe nominations announcement. We still don’t know what category placement the HFPA accepted, but if they nominate him as Comedy Actor he can easily win there

FYC

Best Actor: Mads Mikkelsen (Another Round)

Best Actress: Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman)
