A lot of them most likely (it’s a small club, we see the same people over and over) but most definitely Kaluuya, Stanfield, Mulligan, Davis, McDormand, Colman, Ahmed, Yeun and Oldman.

This was my worst Oscars prediction score ever.

Terrible show. Just a bunch of people talking (presenting, speeches) for far too long with almost no visual element whatsoever.

It’s not good that the producers wouldn’t let Anthony Hopkins attend in some way. I understand rejecting Zoom but surely a live feed could have been set up (like the nominees/winners in France, Sweden etc.)? But let’s not forget that Hopkins was fully able to attend the BAFTAs and decided to paint instead. He even did online press after the show so he had access to Zoom.

And also – people disappointed in McDormand’s win aren’t “attacking” her as someone claimed a few pages back. Frances is a wonderful actress who is amazing in everything, even if in some years I wouldn’t have given her my vote. But she clearly wasn’t interested in the acting awards this year and didn’t seem like she wanted it. At all. Obviously an award shouldn’t be given to someone just because they wanted it the most. But at least try to look enthused, especially when you were part of a stellar line-up and against people who have never won before (or in Davis’ case, never won Lead).

Hollywood pandering to racist international film markets is the first issue.

And enough with the whataboutisms in other posts bringing up other minority groups. The original post was about black actors specifically.

I don’t know what Glenn has to do to win. Dangerous Liaisons was a BP nominee and she couldn’t win for that either.

It’s only recently that the acting prizes have become Best Lead/Supporting Performance in the Best Film awards.

As I said months ago, Davis would have swept if she’d gone supporting. I like the sound of “two-time Academy Award winner Viola Davis”. She’ll be back, she will win another Oscar.

Sad for Mulligan and anti-heroines everywhere.

Predicted Boseman on Gold Derby but bet money on Hopkins, so there’s that.

A third for McDormand, especially given the strength of that line-up, is annoying.

Terrible show overall, hated it from the start.

Joke’s on the producers if Anthony Hopkins wins Actor and isn’t even there to accept it.
