I really hate we had to lose a strong player due to a silly twist. I’m still amazed how they kept every stupid twist from last season and yet we have a far better season.

Drea had a potential to be a great player, but I think she played a very passive game. I really liked her, but damn, you don’t tell anyone about your advantages! I was hoping to see Omar blindside Mike and take his idol, but Mike is probably too emotional to appreciate the move and would only hurt Omar as a jury member. On the other hand, Omar put a big target on his back. If he did blindside Mike, he would have idol protection at the next tribal, with only betrayed idol-less Drea to deal with.

I kinda liked the editing making us think it’s Lindsey’s farewell, even though there were still like 20 minutes left. I appreciate her game and would love to see her in the final three. However, I think it’s either her or Omar getting the boot next episode. She has an idol now and I think it’s the last time she can use it?

Maryanne has impressive grasp of the game, but she needs a big move to add to her resume. It is teased in the preview, so I hope she gets her way. Blindsiding Omar would be huge for her.

Romeo is just annoying at this point. I’d hate to see him make it to final three, but who wouldn’t want to sit next to him? Delusional Mike is meh, playing in his own world, without strong allies. Jonathan could make his way to the finale, but I doubt he could win. I wouldn’t mind the winner being Lyndsey, Maryanne or Omar.

What’s most impressive to me is seeing an SNL alum being so good at drama.

I might jinx it by putting it out there, but I really think Odenkirk has a shot at winning Lead Actor with Succession vote-splitting and Squid Game fading.

Can we at least nominate her at our GoldDerby awards since the Emmys won’t touch the show?

As soon as they vote Maryanne out, I want her in the corner of the screen reacting to every episode.

Not a current SNL cast member, please.

Having two categories Guest Actor and Guest Actress in a Series seems reasonable to me. It would make limited series performances eligible.

A re-think on guest eligibility. I think they probably should look at a time on screen rule similar to there being a 5% rule in limited for Supporting eligibility. This would also stop some of those “select down the line” supporting noms which would need to move to guest.

I’d like to see shortlisted guest categories by a jury like the BAFTAs do in order to avoid name-checks and cameos. Ideally, they would ban SNL hosts from being eligible, as well.

Not that anyone cares (nor should you), but I’ll be skipping the ceremony this year, which is rare for me. It’s not just one reason, but a bunch of them, like losing interest or most importantly, the Academy itself creating a mess of the event.

When the predictions centre opened, I put Drive My Car and The Worst Person in the World in Screenplay for the win and would love to see it happen, but I’m too big of a coward to actually predict them.

Still not sold on Best Picture. International voters could prove to have a strong support for The Power of the Dog. What’s interesting to me, and this is just my opinion, is that CODA voters are more likely to put The Power of the Dog way down on the ballot rather than the other way around.

I do hope for a lot of pleasant surprises and I hope everyone enjoys the night.

I’m curious how Squid Game does at other guilds, but I suspect it doesn’t have passionate support and it will only fade before Emmy voting starts. SAG was probably its peak, but I usually don’t give SAG much weight.

I really really wanna see the Fan Favorite thing blowing up in the Academy’s face.

I don’t get it. What kind of audience are they actually trying to attract?

Disappointed of the release schedule awards-wise, but wonderful to have both parts in a short period of time.

I know it’s a competitive year, but maybe Colman can peak at the right moment.

This is my comment from August after the first reviews were out for the film. It’s only fair I stan Colman till the end.

The most unexpected surprise and favourite nomination for me is The Worst Person in the World in Screenplay. I’ve also been high for a while on Drive My Car getting in all four categories and I’m glad it happened.

Personally, I neither love nor hate Gaga, but I find the snub hurtful. She doesn’t deserve the win, but I wouldn’t mind a nomination. On the topic of Best Actress, I do admit I was wrong last fall in thinking Chastain and Kidman won’t make it.
