I can’t believe folks here are having meltdowns over Gaga this early morning. If this isn’t QUEEN behaviour, then nothing else is. Time to worship Godga on a Sunday morning like this

Respect was a dreck and J-Hud amateurish performance coming from a diner theater with singing didn’t deserve any nom. Good to know only SAG and their average taste were fooled. Aretha deserves a better biopic. And that’s beside Tammy Faye (Which at least Chastain did a proper transformative character work beside the film) or Lucille Ball (Agreed on that).

Honestly, Hudson didn’t deserve a nomination. It was like Dream Girls 2. She needs to do something different to get another nomination. I said it all through the season. But her chances would have been better if Aretha and herself were white. She would have been more consistent in the odds despite the performance. Biopic doesn’t work for black women and I want that jinx to be broken, same with best actor coming from a BP nominee

Spencer saved Kristen Stewart. No one thought she could ever get close to the Oscar before Spencer happened

I’m extremely happy for Zoe Saldana.

She’s one lucky woman. Imagine being in three of the top five highest grossing films of all time. I really wish she could breakthrough with awards.

Its not that Viola is the only black woman people “push”. There are usually limited Oscar friendly roles for black women, and Viola is currently the one that is getting them the most….so its really by default. Viola is brilliant so she is always going to be in the conversation if she has Oscar friendly project. Thankfully there are MORE Black women in the conversation this year.

Nope. She’s automatically lauded even before her film starts shooting. She’s the only favoured here. If she was in Passing, same thing would have happened. I know she’s the one getting most of the meaty roles even when she doesn’t exactly fit in like Ma Rainey which should have gone to Alfre Woodard. If she was the one playing Whitney, she would be topping everyone’s prediction. But now they’re predicting the film to be shit and Naomi to miss as if Tammy Faye, Ricardos and Spencer were so good. Whitney is as iconic as the warrior Viola is portraying….if not more. General audiences know who Whitney is. People will rush to see the film during Christmas. Naomi is an IT girl. These factors should help keep Naomi in the race, but no, they film needs to be seen with 100% RT score and 100m box office receipt for her to be taken seriously. Meanwhile, these same people are yet to see Woman King. The bias is real

We don’t need another boring, pathetically mediocre biopic getting any kind of nominations. I don’t care it’s Whitney. Tired of seeing people winning because they sing. Rather have a boring Best Actress race where Viola Davis sweeps the whole thing and takes it easily than another boring biopic win.

This has always been my problem with people on this forum. Viola Davis is the only black woman you guys usually push in this category. If she was the one doing Whitney Houston, y’all would have declared her winner since last year. Why can’t other women get a shot? No one should have monopoly over anything. It’s the reason I’m praying for anyone besides Davis to win.

Time to push Naomi Ackie. Biopic shouldn’t seize to be rewarding only where black women are involved. A beloved icon like Whitney should get an Oscar just like Judy Garland

I don’t GAF if “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” is a bad biopic. Sony Pictures better be giving it the same scale of campaign it gave Bademian Rhapsody and get Naomi Ackie her Oscar. It is about time a WOC wins this category.

And for a biopic as well. It’s sad that our legends don’t guarantee Oscars. Tina Turner, Harriet Tubman, Billie Holiday (twice), Aretha Franklin…they all failed. Aretha couldn’t even get a nomination. Whitney is like the best female vocalist of all time and such a beloved character isn’t even taken seriously. If she was white, she would have been leading the predictions since last year. They’re talking about quality when Tammy Faye just won and Lucy Ball just got nominated.. Lmao

Honestly, costume is the only nomination that it did not deserve. Dolemite Is My Name was right there. Even Judy could have been a better nominee. They nominated Joker, but snubbed House of Gucci. Lol.

Anyway, I’m still a big Joker fan. One of the best movies of 2019…in fact my favourite that year

Darling, Scorsese probably sitting at fourth place in that lineup. 1. Bong Joon Ho WINNER 2. Sam Mendes 3. Quentin Tarantino 4. Martin Scorsese 5. Todd Phillips – 6. Taika Waititi 7. Noah Baumbach 8. Greta Gerwig

Phillips was probably ahead of Scorsese in that race. Joker was a juggernaut blockbuster contender. Only hard-core critics endured the unbeatable boredom from that sleeping pill called The Irishman.

Didn’t some rumours say the film itself was really explicit and quite divisive? And it was rejected by Cannes for that reason? I do think Ana could be Netflix’s priority for Actress tho

Explicit films are getting recognised these days. It all depends on how executed. It might have an interesting story
