I seriously do not get the hype for Ford v Ferrari. It’s pacing was slow, the story was not very interesting, the ending felt forced on us, and the characters outside of our two leads and a couple of others are cartoon characters (Josh Lucas’ character in particular made me want to strangle him).

Marriage Story was fine, but not epically…[Read more]

If any Best Picture nominee will win Visual Effects, it will be 1917. There’s been some criticism for the de-aging effect (particularly on De Niro).

None of those actors campaign for the Oscars.

Yeah, this is becoming a problem especially now. There’s already not a ton of Asian-centered stories or stories starring Asian leads (now that we have people from Crazy Rich Asians, Dev Patel, and others, that could slowly change), but  The Farewell being completely shut out and Parasite slightly underperforming is disgraceful.

What we can do is…[Read more]

Last year sucked, especially for Best Picture. Green Book, Bohemian Rhapsody (this especially hurt now considering Rocketman was almost completely shut out), and Vice getting nominated was straight up confounding, considering the amount of great films that could have been nominated (If Beale Street Could Talk, Eighth Grade, Can You Ever Forgive M…[Read more]

Alright, we’re back after the nominations have come out.

 

How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

I Lost My Body

Klaus

Missing Link

Toy Story 4

 

I took a major risk and took Frozen II out of my predictions last minute, as I had a feeling that due to its weaker reviews from critics and wide reactions from fans, it will bode badly.…[Read more]

Joaquin Phoenix for Best Actor

How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World for Best Animated Feature

If it wins Critic’s Choice on Sunday, the chances skyrocket.

Avengers: Endgame and Ad Astra for Best Picture.

Stop motion has traditionally been supported by the Academy. Kubo also bombed, yet it got the nomination (granted, it had better reviews, but Missing Link got the Globe, so there you go). I think Missing Link is as safe as Toy Story 4.

I don’t think Frozen II is as safe as people think. It got a variety of reactions, which bodes badly in this…[Read more]

I think I’m going to play a very dangerous game and say that Lulu Wang and Taika Waititi is going to be nominated over Quentin, Noah, and Greta. I have Roman Griffin Davis in Best Actor, and Beasts Of The Southern Wild, my comparison due to Quvenzhane Wallis getting nominated for Best Actress, had Benh Zeitlein for Best Director. That, alongside…[Read more]

I wish they got Ryan Reynolds to host. That would have been epic.

I feel like the best hosts can make a long show like the Oscars interesting. I thought Jimmy Kimmel did a good job hosting the 89th Oscars (the 90th Oscars were eh…).

I’m kind of disappointed that the Oscars aren’t getting a host, but last year was surprisingly sharp, so I’m not…[Read more]

No. I’m going for the bold move and saying that Roman’s getting in for Best Actor, but I don’t think Scarlett’s getting in for Jojo Rabbit. I think The Farewell will have more passion than expected, and Zhao Shuzhen will get in.

Yeah, but since it’s in Supporting Actor, I named it after Timothee.

How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World missing at BAFTA.

Roman Griffin Davis for Best Actor

Klaus and I Lost My Body for Best Animated Feature (while Frozen II gets snubbed)

Portrait of a Lady on Fire for Best Cinematography

Lulu Wang for Best Director? (I only say that because I think Quentin is going to be snubbed, and I have a feeling that they won’t just go with Noah and Greta, and Celine…[Read more]

That’s what I’m predicting with Quentin.  Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is going to underperform at the Oscars.
