Someone needs to remind the HFPA that it’s been 36 years since they’ve awarded an African-American actress, and the only time, I might add, in Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama. It’s that time!

That shit doesn’t matter to them. See Lupita losing to J-Law.

Laverne Cox, Barry Jenkins and Olivia Wilde will be presenting the nominations.

Cox would show up to an envelope opening.

If Glenn gets in, she’s winning. That’s my worst fear . Are voters finally going to reward her for Hillbilly Flopegy? I pray NOT.

Melodramatic much? Glenn Close needs a competitive Oscar and this category ain’t special this year with the rival nominees.

I don’t know why they’d nominate Glenn unless she was going to win, especially since it’s a film that has been so disparaged and won’t be getting any other love outside of makeup.

Glenn Close is a legacy perennial nominee. And there is no reason for her to be absent from this particular race since there is no front runner at all. Everyone here who dislikes her movie and performance are irrelevant to the reality of her placing this season in this category.

I need to see this a second time. I have no confidence in award season to do justice to this movie. But whatever nods it manages on Oscar morning will be worthy.

He got basically the same thing at the Emmys. Did you see it? It was great.

Yeah, and his TV output is worse than his filmography.

Not one of the experts predicting Laverne Cox’s thankless role for a Golden Globe nomination…

The Globes aren’t anxious to recognize trans performers. See their reaction to Pose.

Maybe a chance for Zoe to garner her first nomination? That cast is absolutely absurd.

I suspect so. It’ll be a make or break for her outside of franchise parts.

Kathy Bates had no name recognition for the general public prior to Misery.

That’s incorrect for Tomei. She was a TV actress on soaps and the sitcom A Different World season one.

He’s never made blockbusters so I’m unsure what you’re getting at?

Without Glenn your speculation is wrong.

Just watched Clemency for the first and how in the hell did Danielle Brooks not gather any momentum at all.

She’s the definition of a one scene wonder but my god what a glorious scene.

Because the movie itself had no traction.
