Wait, why didn’t this get any responses? Could be kinda fun/stressful! I like lists… I think I’m gonna switch it up and not worry about specific seasons/years for series and performers–allows more variety that way.

Evan Rachel Wood, Mildred PierceSeptember 28, 2020 at 11:17 am #1203739335I dislike most things because I find them to be dull and uninteresting. Because that puts me in the minority, I promise it’s okay for me to jokingly chide people for enjoying things I don’t.
But also, yeah, it does make me cool 🙂
ReplySeptember 28, 2020 at 10:42 am #1203739228I mean, most “prestige” television is absolute puke and if you can’t (or won’t) see that then I’m so sorry.
There were like a dozen or so not-bad programs this season lol.

Thank you. Most interesting thing BAFTA did last year was nominate her better performance of the year, only for everyone to trash it because they have no taste 😉
ReplySeptember 25, 2020 at 5:41 pm #1203735523The 1986 ceremony indeed did not have a Best Director category, as the Best Film category nominated (and awarded) both directors and producers for each film.
ReplySeptember 24, 2020 at 11:23 am #1203732076Love the idea of longlisting, and of using juries to decide final entrants in a longlist. Yet, six acting nominees is silly–if you already cannot find five good performances, what makes them think they can find six, and that those six will be more “diverse?” Lol
Loathe the idea of forcing performers to choose which category to enter their performance.
The directing longlisting process is interesting…I will wait to see any results before I pass judgment. It has potential to result in fascinating nominees, but I am hesitant to believe this will actually occur.

Adding Minnelli and De Niro for New York, New York, Rosanna Arquette in After Hours, and Anna Paquin in The Irishman.

Daniel LevySeptember 18, 2020 at 3:08 pm #1203716529An almost impossible question, given the unlimited answers one could provide; on any given day, at any given hour my answer would be different. Feels strange to separate along binary gender axes, but whatever:
Ventura, Colossal Youth (2008)
Zhao Tao, Mountains May Depart (2015)
ReplySeptember 17, 2020 at 7:13 am #1203712351Out of these, most looking forward to Pfeiffer in French Exit.
Voted Other, however, because I will never not be excited for a new Carax film. Hopefully Annette is worth it!

Not surprising, given how many reactionary tendencies there are here, but, yes, it is real. It’s not okay on Twitter, and it’s not okay here.
ReplySeptember 12, 2020 at 11:31 am #1203701304Jesus, the only thing I like about these is that Kurosawa took the Silver Lion; though, I would have preferred Wife of a Spy take the Lion.
The fact that Hollywood now has a stranglehold on Venice’s top prize is troubling. The dour menace ensures that not only average-to-poor films take the Lion, but that non-American filmmakers are pushed out of consideration as North American studios lobby for the prize to kickstart a shitty Oscar campaign.
