Renee Zellweger – Judy (baity comeback)
Awkwafina -…[Read more]

First screening is over, reactions are looking strong. Egerton looks like a threat for at least the Comedy/Musical globe. Agree that Malek winning just last year for something very similar might hurt him, though.

Oof. Smells like an also-ran.

Won’t happen and shouldn’t happen, except for sound.

Pattinson should have gotten nominated for Good Time.

Unless they’re shoehorning some human in, The Lion King is 100% animated. Game over.

Holy crap. When’s the last time they announced a change that wasn’t completely awful, or rolling back something completely awful? Well done.

lmao oh stop with the drama. They will probably only have one or two movies in contention any given year anyway, if that. Most of their original projects end up being trash, even the ones that look prestigious on pedigree.

If the voting windows are overlapping or close together it might prevent some of the sheep voting. But the films will have to be out sooner so people can actually watch them, which us great if they actually are, bad if they can’t adjust.

Dream ballot would have been:

Toni Collette – Hereditary
Helena Howard – Madeline’s Madeline
Olivia Colman – The Favourite
Thomasin McKenzie – Leave No Trace
Melissa McCarthy – Can You Ever Forgive Me?

in that order

Odds on Dorff are way too low. He’s coming.

If there’s no human characters like jungle book had, will The Lion King be eligible for the animated category?

No. Next question.

Rami: the spirit of Freddie Mercury kept me and only me from knowing Singer is a pedophile rapist so I could finish the movie.

seems legit.

They tend to go with the latter unless there’s a war movie. The only comparison for that is First Man and they snubbed it.

There’s the solid top 4 (King, Admas, Weisz, Stone) but who do we have for #5?

Foy – BAFTA, GG, CC, that weird CC hype award where she was visible even if not winning for First Man
Robbie – BAFTA, SAG
Blunt – SAG, additional goodwill from MPR

I feel like the last spot is Robbie’s. The Academy loves an uglied up hot girl.
