Locks Jane Campion – The Power of the Dog Steven Spielberg – West Side Story Denis Villeneuve – Dune I don’t see Branagh as a lock.
well maybe you aren’t reading this topic but the other day we discous that always the DGA and SGA match with 2 nominees. And belfast is the only film nominated both SAG ensamble and golden globe director, the two important precursors to DGA. So is 100% a lock. Or maybe you tought about oscar best director nom where belfast is not locked. But in DGA nom he is locked. Two diferents awards with diferents ways to be locked
Is anyone else starting to think that The Power of the Dog might actually win?
I’m being completely serious. I’m starting to believe it’s more likely to lead the nominations than Dune or West Side Story.
Now that we have to endure another round of “Belfast has to win because it’s a crowdpleaser” remember that TPOTD was second runner up at TIFF & the #1 film globally on Netflix. Not too shabby,
If The Power of the Dog had won the TIFF audience prize, and Belfast came in as second runner-up, I think the pundits may have put this one to rest by now for Campion’s film. Tbh, so many of them were burnt by 2018 — first by backing A Star Is Born, then Roma, for BP while rejecting/downplaying TIFF (and eventual BP) winner Green Book — that they are def still “once bitten twice shy” about easily waving away the TIFF top choice now, This is still the case even though 2019’s second runner-up Parasite won BP, surging past winner Jojo Rabbit and first runner-up Marriage Story, as I think the sting of GB’s win, which so many of them whiffed, is still smarting for them.
Remember, a predecessor of Clayton’s at Variety had his pundit career derailed, and his stint at Variety ended, by confidently predicting an ASIB sweep coming out of 2018 TIFF, which he then had to walk back as it stumbled down the stretch, but the damage had been done. I believe that had a chilling effect on many pundits who’d like to get choice gigs like that.
This season the only outlet I saw similarly planting a flag in the ground with such certainty was Rolling Stone, where David Fear came out of TIFF laying it down: Belfast is winning BP.

Judging from reactions on twitter, it seems the general British crowd is LOVING Belfast, a bit more than I expected them to.

Campion is gonna walk out with that Oscar like she deserves.

Only freemangriffin was delusional enough to think Spielberg had a chance in this race.

last year, there was a Sundance thread. maybe a Sundance or general festival thread could be a decent substitute in the meantime if people want to discuss the films premiering.
Has a film ever won Best Cinematography while being snubbed at ASC? WSS’s winning haul is slowly decreasing. It might be dead for a win at this point especially with that SAG ensemble moss.
