I mean, my Kelvin Harrison Jr. nomination doubles for both Luce and Waves, but I understand that nobody’s heard of Luce.

Waves was doomed getting sandwiched between The Lighthouse and Uncut Gems. A24 hoped word of mouth would spread and not only did it not, but the small audience that did see it are relatively split on it. And because of that,…[Read more]

I think the most disappointing snub for me is Kelvin Harrison Jr. not getting in for Breakthrough Performer. He gave not one but TWO earth-shattering performances in 2019. The snubs in other categories aren’t surprising since the Gold Derby Awards are typically just “the Oscars but they nominate the big snubs” (this is especially the case in Best…[Read more]

I wouldn’t say a shutout is a guarantee, not at all, but unless the guilds shock us, I totally see a repeat of Gangs of New York happening.

Throw out Director, Supporting Actor for Pacino, Cinematography, Costume Design and Production Design, none of those are happening period.

Picture is very unlikely. If it loses PGA on Saturday, which it…[Read more]

The most overrated films for me would be Booksmart, The Irishman, Midsommar and The Souvenir. Booksmart and The Souvenir I straight-up thought were bad, while The Irishman and Midsommar just weren’t for me. As for performances, well first off anything from The Irishman is good but not awards worthy. Based off the nominations from this year, Renée…[Read more]

I find the screenplay categories interesting this year, at least this early on.

Adapted-
1. Beautiful Boy
2. Widows
3. If Beale Street Could Talk
4. BlacKkKlansman
5. First Man
Alt: The Front Runner

Notes: I’ve noticed a lot of people overlooking Beautiful Boy in pretty much every category except Supporting Actor, which surprises me since I have…[Read more]

If you want detail as to why for most of these categories, here’s my blog post that explains my choices (that I also recently updated): https://adultswimlifeguard.wordpress.com/2018/01/18/oscar-predictions-2018-who-i-think-is-getting-nominated/.

Best Picture:
Call Me By Your Name
Dunkirk
Get Out
I, Tonya
Lady Bird
The Post
The Shape of W…[Read more]

Well this is new to me.

I still stand by my predictions. Reminder that Birdman, Django Unchained, and The King’s Speech weren’t nominated.

I was completely oblivious to the fact that it’s called the Writers Guild of America, so an international writer isn’t gonna win one any time soon.

So reading through, it looks to me that a lot of people are talking about “the SAG curse” and how it might be broken this year.

In my opinion, no. I don’t think it’ll be broken this year, and I’ll explain why in a bit.

I know that I am in the minority. And I will be in the minority for a long while.
But I think Three Billboards is taking Best…[Read more]

With Oldman gone, I see Chalamet winning because he’s the frontrunner besides Oldman. After that I have Day-Lewis, Hanks, and Gyllenhaal. At 5th I have Washington because that’s a safer bet than others. I don’t see Pattinson (or Good Time at all) getting nominated for anything anywhere (maybe San Diego), despite deserving a nomination more than…[Read more]
