lmao I have to laugh have you even seen Dunkirk. It’s literally the antithesis to your argument

it’s way too full like we said last year, Netflix had too much on their hands hence films got lost int he shuffle *cough* *cough* Dolemite is My Name.

Director: 

1. Fincher
2. Lee
3. Anderson
4. Villeneuve
5. Nolan

Picture: 

1. Mank
2. The French Dispatch
3. Da 5 Bloods
4. News of The World
5. Dune

I see Tenet winning techs and BP although Nolan will miss out on a best director nom again. Then Mank and Trial of Chicago 7 will dominate and win the rest of the above the line categories.

lmao is Telluride gonna cancel now? I don’t see critics or talent going and after the Oscars announcement, a lot of titles will move later in the year.

as much as don’t want this to be true, Minari is not happening

ayeeee yes my favourite show ever, I’m so happy more people are getting around to it!

Binging The Americans again, it’s my favourite tv show and the acting and writing is so underrated. I wonder if Matthew Rhys will properly break into Hollywood or be relegated to TV and stage. He was pretty good in A Beautiful Day in The Neighbourhood but nothing really came out of it.

and let’s not forget we STILL since the year oscars began, haven’t had an asian woman nominated for lead actress let alone win an Oscar.

Technically he is the lead but could go either way. Looks like Netflix will wait to see which race is weaker then place him in the weaker category accordingly.

Viola Davis is happening, she might not win but she’s a big player for a nom at the very least. Hudson on the other hand, she can keep on dreaming, but it ain’t happening.

Don’t discount Stillwater. Matt Damon is a HW darling and hasn’t won an acting Oscar.

Looks like Annette and Bergman Island are confirmed to be pushed back to 2021

Agreed. There’s just no conceivable way to campaign at this point. And if you thought the nov-dec rush to make it before the Oscar deadline was hectic, imagine this year the amount of films released in those weeks. The condensed award season last year already yielded interesting results, I imagine a lot of smaller contenders will be shutout, for…[Read more]
