Nolan’s films are not based on good directing. They are verbose films, where he makes characters speak a lot and in vain in an attempt to explain the awfully complicated plot of the film just because he cannot speak through images. In his films the screenplay clearly dominates the direction. Too many words but few quality of direction. I’m not saying that he is a best director but i’m just saying that in my opinion his only masterpiece is Memento and that there are 40-50 living directors better than him.

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

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.

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.

Halle Berry remains the only woman of color to ever win the Lead Actress Oscar. Viola Davis remains the only woman of color to ever win the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. During her speech, she said “The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity … You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there.” It’s not enough to give lip service and small, supporting, token roles to people of color both in front of and behind the camera. BAFTA needs to investigate why 100% of its acting nominees were white this year and the Oscars need to investigate why the acting branch nominated white actors in 19 of the 20 acting categories. This goes back to hidden racial biases and the mostly white academy members relating more to people who look like them.

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.

Does anyone know for sure that Delroy Lindo is supporting, or is it just a guess?

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.

Every-time Davis and Adams are in contention people overhype them. Also, If there’s a 2x winner this year, it will be Hopkins not Davis. Jennifer Hudson is clearly this year Felicity Jones On the Basis of Sex. She’s a bad actress.

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.

I think for a win in best actor is Bill Murray vs Anthony Hopkins. Np one can defeat them this year.The others will fight for a nomination. For Best Actress is going to be Davis vs Hudson wfor a win (with Davis who is the strongest one for a win). The others (Pfeiffer, Lawrence, Chastain, McDormand) will fight for a nomination.

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