Hoping Hanks doesn’t get snubbed again either.

Well he did get nominated for A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, so don’t count him out.

I think Hopkins winning chances are going to be hurted by the no attending thing we saw this year.

Your statement reminds me of something that was said in the 1943 episode of the And the Runner Up is podcast, in which either Kevin Jacobsen and Samantha Ellis mentioned that voters didn’t see The Song of Bernadette which is why it lost to Casablanca.

They really need to reduce the slots for Best Picture. I really hate when awards extend their slots, you’re allowing mediocrity to get nominated.

They don’t HAVE to nominate mediocrity. There’s more than enough quality to justify extended slots. It’s not the slots that’s the problem, it’s the voters who indulge in middlebrow nonsense like The Blind Side. We need more voters with good taste.

Not in 2018. Bale won Critics Choice, Colman won BAFTA/Oscar and Supporting Actress was all over the place. The only sweep was Ali.

Not to mention the acting sweeps of 2019/20 likely happened because of a shortened year.

When did we all decide that Rotten Tomatoes is irrelevant and that Metacritic is religion?

For the record, Chicago 7 has a 92 percent on Rotten Tomtoes.

Netflix can only get three noms max in Picture and Mank + Chicago 7 are already locked, so the 3rd will be Hillbilly Elegy or Ma Rainey.

Is there a rule preventing a studio from having more than three films for Best Picture?

If there’s no buzz for Da 5 Bloods, why are experts still talking about it? I’m beginning to think people are actively rooting for it to fail.

If Netflix is willing to campaign Lindo in Lead, I have faith they’ll make a good campaign for Da 5 Bloods.

I’ve just re-watched DA 5 BLOODS, just to state if I still keep it in my predictions… It felt as good as the first time I watched it and the social commentary elevates it. Considering Netflix will campaign for Lindo as they have stated previously, I believe they will also run a Best Picture campaign. So… I’m predicting nods for # Best Picture # Best Director (Spike Lee) # Best Actor (Delroy Lindo) # Best Original Screenplay (Lee & co.) # Best Original Score (T. Blanchard) Maybe Best Editing, although only the very favorites or truly undeniable can make in this category

Do you think it has a chance for nods in Cinematography, Production Design or Sound Mixing?

Yeah but he also got in everywhere while Hopkins didn’t, so it may have been Anthony.

Getting in everywhere didn’t stop Hanks from being snubbed for Captain Phillips. And that was a Best Picture nominee.

Um, hard to say who would have been kicked out for Song… I guess no one?

Hanks was the only nomination for his movie so he was probably 5th of the nominees.

6 acting nominees and they’ll probably still find a way to make them all white.

Nah there’ll be riots if that’s the case.

I don’t think they had a Best Director category that year for some reason.

Remember when they nominated Eddie Murphy for Shrek? Lol I actually wonder how close he actually came to an Oscar nomination.

That was probably out of the question because I believe voice-over performances are disqualified but I do miss the BAFTAs’ eccentricities.
