I have had Daniel Kaluuya winning since he moved down to supporting.  He is a likeable guy, it seems like a loud performance, it seems like resonant material and this category lacks a frontrunner.

Just from reading the tealeaves, I previously had Sacha Baron Cohen winning.  Then I saw his performance.  You try to separate your own opinions fr…[Read more]

Good job, you two.  The users known as Leo’s Burner and David Holmes do indeed have the same IP address.

And hopefully my last word on the matter: All that I got from a Twitter search was Next Best Picture’s Will Mavity saying that he is “sure” that Promising Young Woman was submitted for consideration.  So again, receipts, please, if you have them, because I can only find evidence of the opposite of what you say.

Come on, do not tell me that you are using “shortlist” synonymously with “list of eligible titles”.

Yeah, just provide receipts (in the form of a link to the original post at least).  A backend search of this forum for “shortlist” was fruitless.

Brad Pitt should have won supporting for The Tree of Life when he was nominated for Moneyball.

Rosamund Pike interview coming soon.The cover of The Hollywood Reporter right now is an FYC advertisement for the film in the SAG ensemble category, so your news is fake.

I literally thought about Cassie’s age because they mentioned it in the film, ha. I was not looking to be distracted. The distraction was just there. It ultimately did not detract significantly from the film, but I can acknowledge that it was there. It is not like we did not all talk about how egregious Robert De Niro’s age was in various sce…[Read more]

I rarely agree with the Oscars’ choices, but it is even rarer that I find a nominee actively bad (and then for him to win):

The ages in Promising Young Woman were ridiculous because they were all supposed to be thirty, but it was not a big deal.  Mank was worse.

I doubt that anyone has compared I May Destroy You and Years and Years.  I do not have Michaela Coel.  It is not like the Globes have not snubbed shows that have dominated the top-ten lists.  Sure, I May Destroy You has a massive lead in the top-ten aggregate, but The Leftovers topped the decade aggregate and got no Globe nominations, even with…[Read more]

He got basically the same thing at the Emmys.  Did you see it?  It was great.

I feel like we all love to hate the regional awards and even all awards in general.  Less is pretty much always more for me with awards.

I did not mention people like William H. Macy and Edie Falco because the Globes just used them as filler.

I admit that I completely overlooked that Insecure did not show up in the top-ten lists, which I did not realize because it was not there, ha.  So that has shaken my confidence in my prediction of her.  Maybe the time for feeling guilty ab…[Read more]

What is the difference?

I disagree actually.  I might say that the Globes are kinder to returnees that it has previously abandoned than the Emmys; it is just that the Emmys are less likely to abandon them in the first place.  Unlike the Emmys, the Globes welcomed Rami Malek back for the acclaimed Mr. Robot final season.  Unlike the Emmys, they brought The Good Wife bac…[Read more]

Context.

I do not anticipate that Soul or Judas and the Black Messiah will be eligible because of the co-composers composing separately.  It is even in the rulebook that a score by co-composers is only eligible if they worked together on the whole thing. I do not agree with the rule of course, but it is there.

What a strange race!  I could tell you what is in the runner-up position.  It has been seventeen years since a “comedy” (by Globe standards at least) won and Another Round would actually be the worst-reviewed winner in ten years, but there is just nothing in its way.  It has been leading among the regional critic awards anyway, but they have fai…[Read more]

I am confused.  You agreed with me that pundits and critics are different, then you gave an example of them having the same thoughts.
