Exactly it is a well-known fact that the Academy often undervalues female-led films because their stories are not seen by the white straight old male members as “important”. In fact I did a little digging and in the past decade (bold means not in a Best Picture nominee and the first is the winner):

2011-Natalie Portman, Annette B…[Read more]

When has lack of passion for a film ever hurt someone’s chances at being nominated for best actress? May I remind you Renée Zellweger won that award this year for Judy?

I doubt that Tenet will get into any category that isn’t Sound or Score.

Well then they’ve lost their chances at winning anything with WAWWA. I can see it being ignored, like Euphoria was.

Shaw is definitely not a non-factor as some people would lead you to believe. There is clearly much love for Killing Eve and for Shaw herself. She’s certainly at least top 4.

Also the Globes tend to favour supporting performances in Limited Series so it seems impossible to me that they’ll nominate three Drama performances from the same show. Any nominations other than Drama Series, Actress and Gillian Anderson will probably be filler (although we’ll have to wait until it comes out to know for sure)

I think the main reason why all four acting winners were such a lock and did a clean sweep was because the season was so condensed, all awards bodies were voting around the same time. With a more stretched out season there would be much more variation in acting winners between awards shows.

Oh and Comer are not splitting just like they didn’t last year. I don’t think anyone is voting for Comer twice, especially when there wasn’t some undeniable improvement in performance, when this year’s season has been overall been regarded as worse than last year’s, and when Oh is fighting for a more diverse workplace and claims the KE set is not…[Read more]

I think that We Are Who We Are could have the same Golden Globes trajectory as The Act did last year, where it doesn’t get into Limited Series, but its young lead (I’m expecting this to be Jack Dylan Grazer since he has more notoriety than Jordan Kristine Seamon) gets in and a supporting thespian playing a parent gets in too and maybe wins (o…[Read more]

What about Rashida Jones is she lead? Because she could definitely get in at the Globes if she is.

People who are predicting Strong/Cox to be a Comer/Oh situation (which includes me) are ignoring the fact that, last year, Comer and Oh were facing off only one previous winner for the same role (Viola Davis way back in 2015), whereas the Succession guys have to face off the incumbent winner, Porter, but also 2017’s winner, Brown. I think they can…[Read more]

Basically all teen films have been ignored by the academy, because teen stories aren’t regarded by them as “important” which I think sucks.

• Judd Nelson – The Breakfast Club
• Alan Ruck- Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
• Logan Lerman- The Perks of Being a Wallflower
• Emma Watson – The Perks of Being a Wallflower
• Ezra Miller – The Perks of Being…

Also Zendaya’s submission is the episode that brought the most controversy for having “too many” nude penis pictures. So she chose well if she wants to stay in the conversation.

This whole debate is what I was talking about. There’s very little consensus on which one is a better performer out of the two, mostly due to the brilliant, very original writing.

I think Nicholas Braun only chose This is Not For Tears cause of that opening scene which is already kinda iconic. Not his best acting but one of the most memorable.

This is what makes me think that Macfadyen and Culkin will vote-split. I’ve literally seen every version of this statement (Tom is more likeable than Roman, Culkin is better than Macfadyen etc.). It’s not as clear-cut as Crudup vs. Duplass. And with Braun complicating things further… I don’t feel that Succession is taking this one.

Oops my bad I thought only the nominees were voted for before the pandemic. Also just realised I made it sound like I didn’t think WTSU deserved to win, it absolutely did it’s a great show regardless of the socio-political situation.

I’ve just finished The Umbrella Academy 2 and does anyone know if “Here Comes The End” by Gerard Way is eligible for Original Song next year? Cause if it is I think it has a good chance of getting in.
