Il buco was far and away the best Europe offered last year. Magnificent.

Was also a big fan of Fabian: Going to the Dogs.

I hope you don’t mind me asking but considering you seem to be quite enthusiastic about Toni Erdmann, I was wondering where you would rank Maren Ade’s work that year in the directing category?

Don’t mind at all haha. Probably somewhere in the 6-10 range! Some of the better comedic direction of recent memory, if you ask me.

Not sure why we’re blaming Dench for Negga missing when clearly Buckley took her spot..

Anyway, I do think Negga, Nyong’o, and King make the most sense in answer to the question. Nyong’o isn’t often cast the way she deserves to be, but when her next hit really lands, I wouldn’t bet against her. She just barely missed with Us.

It’s pundit brain. They’ve been following these seasons for so many years now, they’ve bought into what the studios built so successfully. If there’s five-to-six slots at all of the big ceremonies, then the conversation should be limited to seven-to-ten contenders. That way, everyone gets at least a couple of mentions and nobody is surprised by anything, but they still get the “excitement” when someone is burned and “left out” at a particular ceremony. So like we’re realizing, now that BAFTA has shaken things up, the pundits are gonna whine that their favorite dish was just replaced with a variant recipe.
