Here’s hoping the Gold Derby Awards rectify these Oscar snubs:

Apollo 11 for Best Documentary Feature
The Farewell for anything, particularly Best Picture, Best Actress for Awkwafina, Best Supporting Actress for Zhao Shuzhen, and Best Original Screenplay
Lupita Nyong’o for Best Actress in Us
Ad Astra for Best Visual Effects, since it wasn’t eligible at the Oscars

I don’t think they’d go for Butler since he’s no longer a big name, and his singing in Phantom was so divisive. I love Gwendoline Christie and she might be able to do Trunchbull, but I feel like something is taken away when the role’s played by a woman. Pine might be able to do it. Into the Woods showed that he can sing, be funny, and ham it up. He might be a bit too handsome for the part though. Still, he could work.

If Gerard Butler is cast, then this project is immediately doomed to fail. The only movies he’s ever been good in are the How To Train Your Dragon movies. That’s it!! Everything else: big failure!!

Not to mention that several other stage-to-screen musical adaptations from this past century were able to incorporate cameos from people who were previously involved with any incarnation of the source material. Examples of this include Chita Rivera making a cameo appearance in 2002’s Chicago, Loretta Devine appearing as a jazz singer in 2006’s Dreamgirls, John Waters, Jerry Stiller, & Ricki Lake each made separate cameos in 2007’s Hairspray, Constantine Maroulis cameoing in 2012’s Rock of Ages, as well as Colm Wilkinson & Frances Ruffelle both making separate appearances in 2012’s Les Misérables. Even Andrea McArdle was able to make a cameo in the 1999 TV version of Annie.

It’s been such a while that I’ve seen Chicago that I can’t even remember which scene Chita Rivera made her cameo in. I’ll definitely have to go back and watch it to see if I can spot her.

I’m sure they’ll work in a cameo in some way. They got Karen Dotrice (Jane Banks from Mary Poppins) to make a cameo in Mary Poppins Returns, even though she retired from acting decades ago.

I wonder if they’ll get the original film Matilda from the 90s, Mara Wilson, to make a cameo.
