Even if 1 out of 3 nominations wins, there’s far less motivation to give 2 wins to the same cast. They’ll prioritize one and disregard the others. And since Dern has been the clear frontrunner front the start it’s Driver’s Oscar to lose.

There’s a lot of pretending going on that it simply can’t happen with people who didn’t like the film or didn’t like the political tone.

Most of the Driver camp i find are sane and sensible. And although I see a lot of finger pointing at Joaquin supporters being insufferable, where are they? Not many from what I can see. If any side has put me…[Read more]

Every single year there’s disappointment over dozens of worthy perfs. This guy was egregiously overlooked, this actress was unfairly snubbed, over there was worthy of the win.
Plus it implies that the hard working and talented actors wouldnt be there if it weren’t for it being a “weak year”.
Imagine reading that if you were a contender how…[Read more]

There’s panic mode if this or that doesn’t win everything.

You’re dashing all my hopes Jacko .
BP win is dillusional

Well, it makes sense who agrees with you with such certainty

If he doesn’t win both Director and FLF I’d be shocked as hell

I think he knew the terminal prognosis he received . I think he may have known with Deer Hunter. Like John Wayne. Not that that should be any reason to nominate him, but it made a difference to me.

It looks as if missing one win or nod means it’s dead in the water unless it sweeps. I remember instances where all looked futile until the very last minute.

My preference is Parasite. It’s below the line enough that it stands a chance. Other scores from what I’ve seen are also nice, but I’m stanning for Jaeil Jung

That’s not an answer.

I can bet my last dollar without looking that Atyp posted nothing but “info” from CNN, who tell him what he wants to hear. He’s likely furious that any kind of support for impeachment is dying on the vine, since even Pelosi knows they have no legal legs to stand on, and had no choice but to follow what her people wanted her to do.

The Early predix thread would probably appreciate this info.

Same. And that CGI fur thing might be a proactive attempt to prevent coughing up fur balls.

The Globe connection makes sense. But they were bigger celebrity whores back then than they appear to be now.

I’d be more careful accusing someone being a shill, which is a serious accusation without any proof to back that up.

No. I was referring to the tweets made re Joaquin. You have, a special kind of tunnel vision when it comes to Joker, despite the fact I agree with you.

I know, but I wanted to throw props to Brando who’s importance to the series was essential for me.

@Robert
I can only make a series of guesses, such as the number of acting nods the overall Godfather films received. Replacing them with these lesser known but equally good actors might have seemed extraneous. And the constant snubs to Diane still…[Read more]

We’re usually on the same page, which I like. Lol

They are more level headed in their responses than the hysteria displayed by the usual suspects.
