This won’t work in every case, but one theory I’ve heard before to explain Davis/Waititi showing up at DGA and Abrahamson at the Oscars is that Directors are often really impressed when their peers are able to get a strong leading performance from child actors.

I guess this year that would help Reinaldo Marcus Green? Not convinced it has to be a thing every time though, my sight unseen spoilers for the Oscar lineup are Hamaguchi/Coen like most people.

If this is so, the film that benefits the most is Belfast and then King Richard.

Miscounted! Forgot I took out The Lost Daughter a few days ago – I think those Hollywood screenings and SAG nomination are telling us that House of Gucci is making it in to the BP lineup whether we like it or not…

I haven’t seen Belfast yet so it slipped my mind but yeah for the record I also think Branagh is pretty likely at both DGA and Oscars. Not feeling him being the ‘snub’.

I hope Branagh gets both, last thing we need is a sympathy push for Belfast for BP.

A major thing missing from the post-GG discussion, where the majority predicted Belfast for BP was the widespread belief that this would be a split year. It is not necessarily the case: TPOTD CAN win picture. Not saying it will, just saying that those that are writing it off STILL are silly.

Branagh has the critics nominations, but I just don’t think the director’s branch will go for Belfast.

Branagh Directing snub seems inevitable, but at same time, unlike the recent actor/writter turned directors snubs, he’s a long time director and a previous nominee. I’m currently predicting a Branagh snub, but I’m not confident about that.

I don’t think PTA will be snubbed. Phantom Thread unexpected surge is a sign that the Academy really likes him.

Villeneuve could miss a la Nolan for Inception, but he doesn’t have the same bias the Academy has against Nolan. They even nominated Villeneuve before they nominated Nolan lol.
