I honestly liked American Hustle, yes it has many problems but I thought it was enjoyable, I thought JLaw was actually pretty good, but how did she almost beat Lupita how? It boggles my mind

Blake Lively was so good in the Simple Favor and should have gotten awards traction

The shaky cam in Two Popes was embarrassing. Why did they film a peaceful walk in the garden like Saving Private Ryan?

FYC:

Lead Actor: Mads Mikkelsen (Another Round)

Supporting Actress: Maria Bakalova (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm)

Supporting Actor: Paul Raci (Sound of Metal)

Apart from Da 5 Bloods and The 40 Year Old Version none of Netflix’s films this year deserve to be in the conversation for the Best Picture win.

She should be challenging Emerald Fennell for the Screenplay win not Aaron Sorkin!

Oh of course me too! It’s just that the race should be between those two (with Fennell on top) not Fennell and Sorkin.

Tom Hanks is nearing 65.
He should retire in three or four years, like DDL and Nicholson did, in a graceful way and before people beg him to stop (looking at you, DeNiro).

With Trump, the Pandemic, The Stock Market chaos, the election and Lord knows what else, the last thing 2020 will be remembered for is film.

The best thing about The 40 Year Old Version were the rap battle scenes which were legitimately terrific, probably because all these MCs are way better lyricists than Radha Blank. I didn’t enjoy her whole character (who honestly came across as extremely opportunistic towards every single one of her friends over the course of the whole movie) and some of the child acting in particular was god-awful. Tbh, I don’t really see what all the talk is about with this movie. It wasn’t great.

Lead Actor: Mads Mikkelsen (Another Round)

Supporting Actress: Maria Bakalova (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm)

Supporting Actor: Paul Raci (Sound of Metal)

Widows deserved Oscar nominations (and possibly wins) for McQueen and Kaluuya, but nothing else. The script was not that tight, and I was not impressed by anyone else in the cast. But McQueen’s direction was incredible and Kaluuya’s performance was the definition of scene stealer. The way he should be winning his second or third with Judas, not first.

FYC:

Best Director - Lee Isaac Chung (Minari), Darius Marder (Sound of Metal)

Lead Actor - Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods), Mads Mikkelsen (Another Round), Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal)

Supporting Actor - Paul Raci (Sound of Metal)

Supporting Actress - Youn Yuh-jung (Minari)
