Just realized that every Film Editing winner since The Dark Knight was at least nominated or won SAG Stunt Ensemble.

Sony Pictures Classic is kinda bad at campaigning. They can get nominations but not enough. Pain and Glory could’ve gotten a Director nomination as well, and a Screenplay nomination too, if they’d been more aggressive last year.

If I want to be the devil’s advocate, I will say…

How will Nomadland perform on the preferential ballot? Because I can see that being the sort of film that gets a lot of lower half votes due to its slow pace and reflective nature.

Dune is only adapting half of the book, I don’t see it being big for the same reason Fellowship of the Ring wasn’t the Best Picture winner – because they’d rather wait for the ending.

I’d probably do a donkey vote or a protest vote because of how badly it’s managed

But if I did a legit vote

• Drama: Nomadland
• Drama Actress: Frances Mcdormand
• Drama Actor: Riz Ahmed
• Comedy: Palm Springs I guess…
• Comedy Actor: Dev Patel
• Comedy Actress: Rosamund Pike

Honestly I think these are all good contenders. There’s not a performance I hate amongst the serious contenders* for a nomination. Kate winslet I even liked but that could just be me being a delusional dyke.

*because Amy Adams isn’t a serious contender.

Trial sweep, including Sasha.

(Natalie Portman voice) Congratulations to the all white winners. Yes this means I think Aaron S*rkin is winning director.

5 f words will be said.

It’ll be a disaster with technical glitches.

I feel like with every news story what the best prediction for what the globes will go for is what a crusty out of touch person would vote for. I’m expecting a huge night for the trial of the Chicago 7, complete with a Sacha baron Cohen win and a director win.

I don’t buy overdue narratives for Cooper or Driver yet. They’re both relatively young and weren’t egregiously snubbed for anything. They’ll win when the role comes, not based on a “it’s time” as of this race.

When Amy Adams and Anette Benning get their Oscars then we can put these in a conversation. Cooper, come up with a second performance, the same one got old. Driver, give it half a decade.

He’s supposed to be this awkward but charming guy. But comes off as a total creep from scene one. We’re supposed to believe Cassandra, a master manipulator of toxic men, would actually fall for this obvious loser? And the revelation about him in the end is not surprising and pretty lazy IMO.

Dare I say it, Bo wasn’t really that good as this character. Carey Mulligan is such a good performance that people think the others in the movie aren’t as bad as they are.

Which 5? I’m curious about this.

Malcom and Marie

Mank

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom

Minari

Miss Juneteenth

Get people to make a conspiracy that films with M in the title are the ultimate precursor. People renaming their titles to title it M. Nightmare alley? Moody alley. The French Dispatch? Media de France.

IDK I just want SOMETHING spicy this race.

Sasha Baron Cohen is getting Oscar buzz for the worse performance of his this year compared to his Borat work.

I’m thinking which could be this year’s Roma Marina de Tavira moment where a film with a lot of momentum gets a surprise nomination in Supporting Actress.

Any ideas? Maybe Laverne Cox if Promising Young Woman overperforms*, or someone from Nomadland? IDK

* I would have mixed feelings. First trans woman nominated for an Oscar :-D. But for a bad nothing role 🙁

So who is the 5th place? Andra Day despite that movie flopping? Zendaya despite that movie flopping? Sophia Loren despite that movie flopping?

To be fair, the supporting performances in PYM ARE glorified cameos. Hence why their character development is non-existent (i.e. Laverne Cox essentially portraying the stereotypical sassy Black BF).

Yeah, the way Laverne gets trans equivalent of a gay best friend role is one of the most uninspired things about that movie. Everything narratively exists for Carey’s character.

The Shape of Water is crowdpleasing and accessible? Birdman? The Big Short? 1917?

The Shape of Water absolutely is a crowdpleaser, it has a happy ending and a fairly universal message of love. Birdman is a stylistic exercise that’s relatively easy to grasp. The Big Short literally explains its most complicated concepts in the most blunt way possible. 1917 is a story-light and not confronting war action video game. These aren’t alienating films.
