You know how every year there is a sole Screenplay nominee?
I am predicting this to be CODA.
Mothering Sunday is one I have considered (largely due to the rising industry profile of Alice Birch and the potential goodwill she has from adapting Normal People) but the distributor concerns me. Then again we saw what happened with The Father lol.
FYC:
"The Good Fight", "The Other Two" and "Station Eleven" in all categories, Sarah Lancashire ("Julia"), William Jackson Harper ("Love Life") and Luke Kirby ("The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel")
I think it is fairly safe to assume Gaga will record an end credit song for House of Gucci. I have no idea why she would have her best song vehicle be attached to Top Gun Maverick when she is the lead of another film that will likely score nominations across the board, and song would bolster their total nominations. Plus I think a Gaga original in a best picture/director/actor/actress contender has a better chance of beating Billie than an original song for a movie with likely no other nominations. Ariana Grande recording for her film also seems likely, albeit slightly less than Gaga.
Grande has an original song confirmed. Who will compose it is a question.. because they have a limit of 4 nominees per song and lot of Ari songs have more than 4 composers.
She may want this to be a pure acting vehicle. Plus a Song for ASIB made total sense but it makes less sense for this one. What would it even be about?
I mean, Husavik was the only song nominated this year to actually impact the movie. Fight for You, Speak Now, and Hear My Voice were all vaguely about rising up and injustice, and I have not seen the translation of Io Si so I do not know if it was pertinent to the themes of The Life Ahead.
Gaga can write a song hinting at the themes of Gucci– rage, misunderstanding, anything else. It would not be out of place. By that logic, what would her Top Gun song be about?
However, I do agree that the Academy awarding her best song for ASIB did diminish the passion to award her in Actress “Well, she is winning an oscar either way. may as well vote for Olivia or Glenn.” She may be trying to avoid a repeat.
FYC Oscars 2022:
Picture: Passing
Actress: Ruth Negga, Tessa ThompsonA heartbreaking song for House of Gucci would make sense. It could be about self destruction and a loss of trust in others. But I’m more concerned with her getting an acting nomination/win. We can do it.
Anticipate "Hold My hand".
Lady Gaga is a genius
I think Adam Driver can easily win Best Actor at Cannes.

Oh easily. It’s between him and Amir Jadidi. But if the film is as good as Edgar Wright says it is, it could take the Palme/GP/Jury instead. Or they could choose to award Carax.
I think Adam Driver can easily win Best Actor at Cannes.
Especially with a big fan of his Spike Lee heading the jury
The Cannes lineup is a major disappointment…
Yes, there are some heavy hitters in the Competition category, including The French Dispatch and Annette, but I think Venice, Telluride and Toronto will offer far more exciting festivals, including The Power of the Dog, Blonde, Soggy Bottom, The Tragedy of Macbeth, The Last Duel, Nightmare Alley, Don’t Look Up, Last Night in Soho, West Side Story, House of Gucci, Being The Ricardos, C’mom C’mon, Spenser, Next Goal Wins, Canterbury Glass, Don’t Worry Darling, Dune, The Eternals, The Eyes Of Tammy Faye, A Journal For Jordan and Red, White and Water, among others.
Thank the lord The Power of the Dog is going to Venice instead of out of competition at Cannes. Those reports were killing me. Jane Campion deserves far better than out-of-competition.
Justice for Passing, Tessa Thompson & Ruth Negga.
The Power of the Dog / Jane Campion / Benedict Cumberbatch / Kristen Stewart / Kirsten Dunst / Troy Kotsur

I think the closing film for Cannes is yet to be announced. I’m guessing it might be the “planetary blockbuster” they’re hinting for the past few weeks.
But I do agree that the lineup for Venice, Toronto and Telluride will be more exciting.

I guess exciting for you means films in the English language…
I am more excited about Memoria, the Audiard, the Farhadi or Enyedi than about 95% of those films
