As voting gets underway , i thought i might just as well start another one of these

The first one from the Los Angeles Times

Notes: overwhelming amount of votes for Anthony Hopkins, with one even calling Boseman´s performance terrible

Minari SWEEP?

But nah it just means that there’s a certain demographic in the Academy that has a connection with LA Times.

However, this is Yuh-Jung Youn’s. Her performance as that grandmother was surprising, fun and heartbreaking. It knocked me off my feet and was a big part of the reason I loved “Minari” so much.

 

Right when I was watching it, I thought Yuh-Jung Youn is going to be my supporting actress choice. She was just so good.

 

I love “Minari.” Maybe I’ll change my mind and vote for it for best picture! Anyway, Yuh-Jung Youn is so good in that movie, funny and warm and wise. She’s the grandmother I aspire to be someday!

Solidarity with the striking writers. Pay them the wages they are owed for bringing us the content we are all on here because of!

If they give Anthony the Oscar I’m going to be really glad about the ratings being absolutely terrible no one cares about awards anymore for a reason darlings it’s karma for awarding that old white saggy man over the dead black man 🤡

Boseman has too much sentimentality for him to lose. I just don’t see it happening.

We will have 6 secret ballots at Gold Derby but do not publish until voting is over (as all media should do). Very interesting choices throughout (but I don’t see Hopkins as a threat just based on our 6).

LOL this is a joke right? Oscar ratings will be awful no matter who wins (but it’s going to be Boseman so what are you gonna say about the worst ratings ever then?)  and they dropped when Black Pather and Joker were nominated so even popular movies couldn’t save that sinking ship. This year, nobody cared about nominated movies, actors, etc. It’s hilarious when PYW stans bring up PYWs’ “boxoffice” which sits at paltry 6.1M and even other paltforms weren’t exactly The Queen’s Gambit level of success, not even 1/16 of it.

The writing is on the wall. Globes, SAG likely BAFTAs too crashed in ratings no matter who won. Diversitywinners aren’t imporving the ratings which continue to nose dive. White winners aren’t improving the ratings which continue to fall like a rock. Popular movies see a dip in ratings. Billie Eilish sees a dip in ratings. It’s over. People don’t care. Young people don’t validate their taste through critics and awards. They’ll never fill the spots vacated by dying old viewers.

Yes, stoop to the level of the same trolls you’ve been fighting with the entire season…

A Negroni. Sbagliato. With Prosecco in it.

As someone who has parents getting older, that one really affected me.

 

I’ve see a lot of people saying this about Hopkins in The Father. I wouldn’t underestimate that, especially after a pandemic year where the elderly suffered.

All that I want to know is what they are voting for Live Action Short. I could not care less what they voted for Best Picture and Director.
