The pilot was very good. Pacing might have been a little too slow for my liking, but I can appreciate the time it has taken so far to really do some character/world building (which I find necessary for a show to be great).

I liked Grazer a lot here and, like others have said, I’m already fascinated by his relationship with his mother. Their d…[Read more]

Girl, I think everyone knows she isn’t getting double nominated lol. There’s really no need to actually say it lmao.

Neither Felicity Jones or Vanessa Kirby are known by the GP. At least not by name. I’m not sure why were arguing over which one is more well known lol.

Regarding Kirby – I don’t think she’ll get awards love for either movie (even if she should), but I think this will do great things for her career. It’ll further boost her profile and show that she can lead a film, which is honestly what should be most important to her right now. I do think she can win Best Actress at Venice though. Obvio…[Read more]

Once again, you’re just making claims that you can’t actually prove. Who said that Cuarón and Dern would win without Netflix? How could you even know that? You can’t. You’re just saying that because it fits your narrative.

You can’t say that The Irishman and Baumbach “failed” at the Oscars despite Netflix’s “payola” but then say that Cuarón…[Read more]

And what about Roma? Didn’t that win Director? Wasn’t that a Netflix film? You’re probably the most biased poster I’ve seen on this forum in a while. You don’t actually make any points, you just make absurd statements that have no correlation to any films competing this year. Grow up.

Not to mention it didn’t even flop lmao. It was nominated across the board and won screenplay (which is what Mank is about! – the writer). It’s like that poster thinks because Citizen Kane didn’t win Picture or Director that suddenly means Mank can’t or won’t win Picture or Director either lol.

1. Your opinion regarding Citizen Kane is clearly unpopular considering it’s very much regarded by many as one of the greatest (if not the greatest) films of all time. So put your obvious bias aside for once.

2. Baumbach missing has absolutely zero bearing over Fincher’s chances lol, especially since Baumbach has never been recognized by the…[Read more]

Fincher winning is very likely lol. This seems like his first film in a while that actually aligns with what the Academy tends to love and reward. We know they love stories about Hollywood, so a film following the screenwriter of one of the most famous/well regarded films of all time? Sounds like a slam dunk to me. Netflix will also push it, and…[Read more]

Right now (and this isn’t saying much since it’s September), I’d probably have One Night in Miami in Screenplay and Supporting Actor. Could get in Picture as well depending on how the rest of the year pans out. The reviews are positive but they didn’t really read as passionate raves (to me), which could potentially be an issue as well as the fac…[Read more]

Theron and Robbie also played real life people and went through an extreme transformation. It’s just not the same as Kirby in Pieces of a Woman.

Like I said before, I love Kirby. I hope she happens, but people declaring her a possible winner or even nominee already is a bit premature considering the film doesn’t even have a distributor.

Zellweger was playing Judy Garland lmao. Not to mention, Zellweger was a well known actress that had a comeback narrative behind her. No where near the same situation that could Kirby could possibly face.

I love Kirby. I think she’s extremely talented, but I doubt she’s happening for Pieces of a Woman. It sounds like the film itself is a tough sell and the reviews don’t sound as enthusiastic for the film as a whole as they do for Kirby’s performance which could hurt her chances for a variety of reasons. The film also doesn’t have a distribut…[Read more]

Same as this except Helena Zengel for News of the World instead of Collette. I’m Thinking of Ending Things is Buckley and Plemons story, I don’t think Collette will make a dent whatsoever.

For my entertainment? Yes lol. But no, they shouldn’t. I always thought it would be cool though to know who was runner up at the Oscars and what not lol.

Jennifer Garner in Juno. She was win worthy.

I’m not predicting either to do entirely well, but WSS isn’t just a remake. It’s a remake of a BP winner by one of the most beloved/celebrated directors of all time. The Ansel situation definitely might hurt its awards prospects though. Da 5 Bloods just feels like it has a lot working against it right now. Audience reactions weren’t good, it was…[Read more]

I agree with this. I think a lot of us (I know I was) were expecting it to make a huge splash when it debuted on Netflix, especially since it was around the height of the BLM movement/protests, but it kind of just came and went. And yes, it’s audience scores aren’t good either. I think Lindo is probably a lock because he’ll have critics backing…[Read more]

I actually think it could potentially break into Adapted Screenplay, but yeah Actress would likely be what it’s really in contention for. Supporting Actor is extremely weak this year though, I’m not sure how big Hedge’s role is but maybe this could be a Wild situation where it gets Actress and Supporting Actress (Actor in this case).

Seyfried is supposedly great in Mank too. Pretty sure I read somewhere that Fincher was raving about her and he rarely does that with actors.
