This thread took a really filthy turn that took a long time to clean up from dozens of bad comments. The people that take a thread in that direction again will be immediately banned.

Voting ends this Sunday night at 11:59 PT. We will announce the winners on Wednesday, February 20, at 9:00 PT; Noon ET.

We have interviewed several anonymous Oscar voters, and those items will publish after voting is over. I don’t know how the other websites get away with publishing them now since everybody we deal with asks us to hold on to them. I will not give much away, but nobody has chosen Colman so far.

I’m not sure how helpful they are in general, but it…[Read more]

Last year’s Emmys had 27 categories, an opening musical number, a monologue, stupid segments by Maya and Fred, a memoriam segment, tribute to Betty White, and a really long marriage proposal (by this year’s Oscar director no less). And they got finished at exactly 3 hours. Lorne Michaels knows how to get a show off the air on time, and the Oscars…[Read more]

You can actually look at anybody’s predictions for any date, all the way back to day of nominations (or even back to last August for the few months before nominations). I don’t think I’ve changed Glenn Close for all of those weeks or months.

I’ve definitely struggled on Actor and Supporting Actor, ultimately landing on Malek and Ali before SAG.…[Read more]

Don’t pull me into this mess of a topic. I’ve had Glenn Close in 1st place pretty much the entire awards season.

Nothing remotely official yet, but we are being told to have “The Crown” in the Emmy predictions center when it launches this month. They might change their minds later, but it will be in there as we launch.

That never happened. Go back and watch it again. When I interviewed Dreyfuss last year, he confirmed it didn’t happen.

The 2019 Grammy Awards will be held this Sunday night, February 10, but who will actually be handing out those awards? CBS and the recording academy have announced presenters for the telecast: Kelsea Ballerini, Leon Bridges, Luke Combs, Charlie Wilson, Alessia Cara, Julian Edelman, Eve, John Mayer, Bob Newhart, Smokey Robinson, Swizz Beatz, Meghan…[Read more]

Oscar voting is February 12 through 19.

I was very skeptical about Cuaron getting recognition from the cinematography branch or ASC when the awards season started. I wasn’t even sure Cuaron would get an Oscar nomination early on (although if he did, he would win from the larger group of voters). Why would these small groups of DPs want to reward a director for taking away a prestigious…[Read more]

He told them he would not attend if given an honorary Oscar, so why would they choose him? He also made it clear he would not accept a knighthood at any point during his career.

Marina and Yalitza have been everywhere campaigning throughout awards season and have been quite charming. Voters got to know them at parties and other events. That’s one important reason how they got the nominations.

VERY smart… Regina King will be a presenter at BAFTA this Sunday. That will get her on stage and give her the chance to campaign at the parties, etc.

Not officially confirmed, but reps for the four acting winners from last year now say they have been invited. They are most likely not presenting acting categories, though, so these producers keep trying their best to make bad mistakes. Janney and Oldman will present something together. McDormand and Rockwell will present together.

Voting just ended today so this news will not affect the voters. BAFTA officials and show producers do not know the results. Only the accountants will know that info, and there is no way they have done their calculations yet.

Bohemian might well win, but it’s not something that is known internally. This decision might have been made because they…[Read more]
