Jennifer Connelly – Requiem for a dream

1) Brooklyn

4) Atonement

The acting categories are boring as hell this year (which usually are the most fun).

Parasite in Picture

Bong Joon-ho in Director

Greta in Adapted Screenplay

Worst Nominees in a long time

1) Lack of diversity when there are actual great performances to reward (Awkwafina, Lupita, Zhao, Kang-ho Song)
2) Joker, one of the most overrated films of all time, gets 11 nominations
3) The acting nominations for The 2 Popes. Pryce dubbed argentinean scenes might be the most cringe worthy in a movie in a long…[Read more]

She gave a good performance, but I didn’t love it as many people love it here. I would have been ok if she wasn’t nominated.

The Awkwafina and Lupita snubs hurt a lot. This might be my least favorite best actress line up ever.

The best movie of the year by far, but it will be a challenge. I agreed that being a best foreign movie candidate and frontrunner to win that category hurts it the most (same as Roma). That’s why I also think an animated movie will never win too.

J-Lo would actually be a fun nominee and more deserving than many of the possible candidates. My only main issue is that she is a co-lead and category fraud. But the performance itself is worthy of a nom.

Yes, I like Charlize but she is not one from my favorites this year. It’s not even in my Top 3 performances from her (Monster, Mad Max, Young Adult and Tully all above this)

I wouldn’t mind if she gets the nom, but also if she gets snubbed. I just liked the other 5 performances I mentioned much more.

Lupita should be the fronrunner. I would only be OK with this category is something like this shows as oscar noms (from viable candidates at this point)

Lupita Nyong’o
Renée Zellweger
Awkwafina
Scarlett Johansson
Saoirse Ronan

This category is a mess, and the Bafta noms show it even more. I like Robbie as an actress but that she gets 2 noms for good (but not oscar worthy) performances is mind blowing. This shows that voters are more lazy than usual.

Just saw Judy and Renee was amazing in the role but I don’t think it is an undeniable situation or that it would be a travesty if she lost.

I have not seen Theron yet, but Lupita has remain my personal favorite from the potential candidates and I think Scarlett will win with her very good performance in MS. She had an amazing year with Avengers,…[Read more]

Midsommar. I couldn’t undertand the critical praise for this one at all.

Mega stupid plot. Bland characters taken from the worst horror movies. And it was nos scary or suspenseful at all.

Dern gives the least deserving performance of the possible candidates, but she has the career and the year (MS + BLL + LW) to back it up.

I hate this type of wins, but overall it’s an extremely weak year. It’s usually my favorite of all acting categories but this year I don’t love any of them.

This. And I don’t get the Waltz comparisons:

Pitt and DiCaprio had their own story arcs with large parts of the movie focusing on one of them. Waltz shares 100% of his screentime with Foxx which revolves on getting Django wife back.

Both movies share a big and impactful ending. OUATIH is clearly most connected to Pitt’s arc, not DiCaprio and…[Read more]
