Lol these critics groups are insane. First Riz is a breakthrough performer and now Zendaya is? What next breakthrough performer Glenn Close?!?!?

I’m surprised they haven’t given Chadwick Boseman the award yet LOL!

I heard the possibility of meryl taking the 5th Oscar spot if she gets in at sag and wins the globe lol i think the borat girl is winnig plus i don’t even think meryl could pull of a nom for Ryan murphy’s the prom lol.

I agree that Meryl won’t win for The Prom, since that film has kind of flopped and Maria Bakalova has so much more buzz and acclaim. Even if she misses the other precursors and the Oscars (I’m predicting a snub at SAG), she’ll easily win the C/M Actress Globe.

This is the worst year for film that I have ever seen (in the expanded Best Picture era). I have not loved a single one. The best films are just decent or solid. And people like Frances McDormand, Carey Mulligan and Viola Davis gave good performances, but I am not passionate about them like I am about the ones that the likes of Shira Haas, Emma Corrin and Amanda Peet gave on television in the same year.

I said this on a different thread, but I think I’m in the minority for liking every single major awards season release I’ve seen this year outside of Flopbilly Elegy. This year certainly isn’t as good as last year, but it’s more consistant: last year had a few films that I just wasn’t into like 1917, The Irishman, and The Two Popes, but this season has only had the one. I’m even the only person who loves The Midnight Sky.

I’m with you for now on Chicago 7 falling at the last hurdle, but there’s a pretty good chance it gets big wins at the Globes, PGA and WGA.

I don’t think Chicago 7 will win PGA because they are made up of industry members who have a distaste for Netflix and don’t want to see them win, just like the Academy. It’s worth noting that Green Book beat Roma to win the PGA in 2018, making it the only Best Picture precursor where Roma lost to Green Book directly (they didn’t compete in the same categories at the Globes). Expect Nomadland to win PGA this year.

The dream would be for Nomadland to win Picture, Director and Adapted Screenplay and Promising Young Woman original. (*insert Saoirse Ronan women gif*)

I could really see it happening tbh.

I can already see the headlines now: “At the 93rd Academy Awards, Chloe Zhao wins Best Picture for Nomadland and becomes the 2nd Female ever to win best Director, also winning Best Screenplay along with Emerald Fennel, making this the 1st year that the Screenplay awards are swept by women. In addition, this is the first year to have 3 African-American winners in the acting categories: Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, and Daniel Kaluuya for Judas and the Black Messiah.”

Judas and the Black Messiah sixth in picture, but Daniel Kaluuya not beginning his streak could be the beginning of the end.

Classic GoldDerby: Kaluuya loses one award and it’s all over.

Nearly every critic who’s seen Judas has said that Kaluuya is sweeping. And we all saw those trailers. I take more stake in those things than one critic association.

After watching One Night in Miami, I’m sticking with my prediction that Diane Warren wins finally for “lo si”. Speak Now way extremely underwhelming, and I think they’ll pass it over to give Warren her extremely overdue win.

She will be nominated. They nominated her for fucking Breakthrough. They love her.

JDW has no chance with those reviews. I don’t expect him to get in at any of the precursors either. The non-BP slot(s) in Best Actor is still between Ahmed and Lindo.

This deal didn’t apply specifically to Minari but because of it’s existence I was expecting Minari to go to Apple TV +.

None of them are comparable to Zendaya. Like, at all.

Marroin Cottiard kind of does. Both were breakout starts who were in film’s with a mixed reception. Cottiard’s win was also considered a surprise when it happened. Not a 1 to 1 comparison but there’s more than a few similiarities.

I think it depends on what the Globes do. If the Globes give Zendaya a surprise win then I’ll start predicting her for the Oscars as well. If they don’t, then I’ll stick with my guns and predict Viola Davis.
