They are great, as always. Only thing that confuses me is Lee Kang-Sheng being snubbed while Anong Houngheuangsy got a nomination.

Biggest highlight is probably Rita Azevedo Gomes getting some recognition.

Not even sure I would include Gerwig in a top ten of a women only Best Director 2019 lineup

• Chinonye Chukwu (Clemency)
• Marielle Heller (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood)
• Beyoncé Knowles-Carter (Homecoming: A Film By Beyoncé)
• Lorene Scafaria (Hustlers)
• Lulu Wang (The Farewell)
• Nanfu Wang and Lynn Zhang (One Child Nation)
• Olivia Wilde (Booksmart)

And this says a lot about your taste! Atlantics is a beautiful film though, I’ll give you that.

What? Zellweger in Judy is far from mediocre and she is easily better than any possible nominee from this year.

I saw Match Point named somewhere in here and my unpopular opinion is…it sucks. Out of the ones I’ve seen from Allen, Zelig is his best.

The album has already been recorded tho, it started in 2018 and finished in 2020, i don’think there is much for Tony to do now, he can’t do interviews, perform or anything with the development of the disease, so they can just release it and it’s all good.

Maybe Gaga wants to promote it alone or not promote it at all.

I thought they were still recording it while he is sick. Thanks for correcting me.

Not sure how I feel about this. Bennett is not in control and has no knowledge of what he is doing from what I read. Just let him rest.

Ranked:

Phantom Thread
The Irishman
Silence
Inherent Vice
The Wolf of Wall Street
The Master
Arrival
Blade Runner 2049
Sicario

I prefer Scorsese’s trinity over PTA’s as I’m not a big fan of The Master. Both are miles above Villeneuve.
