There’s absolutely no way Broadway will reopen next week. They’ll be lucky if they can reopen by the middle or end of May.

John David Washington
Robert Pattinson
Emma Watson
Asa Butterfield
Chloe Grace Moretz
Jacob Tremblay

She’s a lead; absolutely no doubt about it.

Jodie Foster deservedly won. If you’re not moved by that performance, you have a heart of stone and no soul.

Definitely supporting because there’s a pretty big gap of time when she’s not onscreen. Beyonce is clearly framed as the main star.

I know the ranking period is technically over, but I’d just like to mention that I FINALLY got to see Portrait Of A Lady On Fire in theaters right before the coronavirus shut us all down here. It finally came to my area on March 6, and I’d give it a solid A-. Damn shame it didn’t at least get Oscar nominations for its cinematography and costume…[Read more]

The Irishman. I would have voted for him over Brad Pitt if I were an Oscar voter.

Probably. If not physical screeners, they probably are e-mailed online links to the film from the studio. That’s my best guess.

The Irishman. Damn shame he didn’t get a Best Actor nomination for it.
