Quite a few of these aren’t from the past ten years. Some great choices though!

I’m doing this strictly for American films from 2009 to 2019 only. If the situation was real, many of these would have to be sacrificed so Asian, African, Australian, European etc. films could also be saved.

First impression: Madame X gives no fucks.

This is a bold, fresh, ambitious album that is not afraid to experiment and be weird. It is also easily Madonna’s best work since 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor, which is rightfully seen as her last masterpiece.

According to the PR campaign, Madame X is Madonna’s alter ego with multiple ident…[Read more]

No-one other than Egerton gave an Oscar-worthy performance. Madden was fine in a role that wasn’t as fleshy as it could have been; Bell also did what he could but looked like he had been brought in from a tv movie.

While Bryce Dallas Howard wasn’t Oscar-worthy either, her campy turn was deliciously in tune with the movie’s sensibilities.

For me they were co-leads and pushing Thompson in Supporting would be borderline fraud. But as we know, that would be nothing new.

Why?

I know she is a borderline case and if she was Jennifer Lawrence she would go Lead without any question. But many predictors seem to have her in Supporting and it would make sense for the studio push her there – she’d have a much better shot.

Funny, entertaining, and almost secretly clever feminist commentary on show business sexism and the Me Too movement – it looks and feels so featherweight it’s easy to miss how intelligently it deals with these issues. It’s also astonishingly well directed; the pace is relentless even when the script threatens to stumble into genre cliches.

Hmm I wonder if Damon will be campaigned lead and Bale supporting (opposite of what I’ve assumed/predicted so far).

Oh, and why did the 2021 predicts thread disappear lol?

Shirley MacLaine and Kim Novak should be on top of the list.
