This is incredible, wow. Honestly don’t think there’s one skip. Gimme What I Want needs to smash, though, what a record.

Prisoner is so fucking good. Also loved Midnight Sky, and I’ve been obsessed with her covers this era – Zombie and Communication in particular. She’s on fire, I can’t wait for this album.

Is no one watching this? I would definitely recommend starting it if you haven’t already.

Kate Mara is brilliant through the first 4 episodes, especially in the episode that came out this week. She might find herself landing an Emmy nomination, tbh. Fidell has done such a great job navigating the teacher-student relationship. In the last e…[Read more]

Watched the first three episodes yesterday, this is really good. It’s such a tricky story to tell, for obvious reasons, but I think Fidell is handling it very well so far. It’s not problematic, imo, at least from a storytelling perspective. It’s obvious from the start that Mara’s character’s actions are extremely inappropriate despite her not o…[Read more]

I love Garner, but Linney (and it’s not really close).

Yeah it’s wild to call Tenet a flop when it was released during a pandemic lol. It flopped somewhat with critics though.

If Moss happens it’ll be for The Invisible Man. Nobody cared about Shirley and it’s audience ratings weren’t good. She’s not happening for either anyway though unless so many contenders move to next year and they need to find someone to fill in some slots.

Mulligan was never the early front runner for PYW lol. That film is not something the Academy would touch.

Yup. I assume that’ll be a 2022 release though.

I’m a huge Mulligan fan, but that movie is in trouble awards wise whenever year it’s released lmao.

I’m surprised people are so confident with Comer and The Last Duel, in general. The set pics of that look genuinely awful. Ridley Scott is also pretty hit or miss.

That’ll help her chances for winning the Globe/SAG/Emmy for The Crown, not a second Oscar for The Father, especially when a lot of the attention will go to Hopkins. Also, a large part of the reason why she won for TF was because of the strength of her film. McDormand will clearly have the strongest film in this category, so Colman being in a BP…[Read more]

Colman has zero narrative. She’s not winning.

I’m not even a fan. I like him, but I don’t care if he ever wins an Oscar, unless he gives a performance that I find really worthy. Either way, he’ll have a big year next year and I don’t see why double nominations are off the table especially when he’s working with PTA and GDT.

First predictions – obviously assuming all of these films will be ready and released next year

Best Actor
1. Bradley Cooper, Nightmare Alley
2. Christian Bale, Amsterdam
3. Benedict Cumberbatch, The Power of the Dog
4. Denzel Washington, The Tragedy of Macbeth (if it isn’t released in time for this season’s Oscars)
5. Ben Platt, Dear Evan…[Read more]

Yeah, it literally just needs Adams and maybe screenplay and she’ll be fine. Unless, Seyfried is god-tier in Mank lol, and even then Close would probably still win.

Close’s movie would have to be truly terrible for her to lose. Or someone like Seyfried would have to be raved and Mank would have to be a juggernaut.

It’s too baity for her to lose this time around.

It would verrry weird for The Power of the Dog to get picture, director and screenplay noms but miss acting completely lol.

I think they meant newcomer as in it was her first time nominated for an Oscar. Every year there’s usually a newbie in the BA lineup, and that was ScarJo last year (as well as Erivo). Doesn’t mean she’s a legit newcomer in the industry, it’s just that it’s her first time nominated.

I’m not saying they will lol. But SBC could easily win the Comedy Globe if Borat 2 is as well received as the first.
