I’m certainly not bragging, especially considering I went 0/8 in the Drama categories, but I totally called Bill Hader’s win over Donald Glover. I think it came down to the episode Glover submitted; “Teddy Perkins.” I didn’t even know until about a week ago that that was Glover underneath all of that makeup as Perkins. I figured if I didn’t…[Read more]

I miss the write-ups and interviews with the Gold Derby contest winners explaining how they arrived at their decisions that helped them win the pool. It gave you a glimpse into other people’s minds and the different methods people use for making their predictions.

Granted, I am biased as I had a write-up done about me 2 years ago when I…[Read more]

I got 19/24 which I believe is my best showing ever for the Oscars so I’m very happy with that result. The ones I got wrong were Original Song, both Documentary categories and both short film categories.

Totally psyched I got Blade Runner for Visual Effects right!

I hope everyone is doing well.

My super bets are on “Shape of Water” for Best Picture at 9/2 odds and “This Is Me” for Original Song at 11/2 odds. I was tempted to put one on “Lou” for Animated Short Film at 12/1 odds but I don’t have as much confidence in that pick as historically the short film categories are very unpredictable.

I hope everyone is doing well and best of…[Read more]

I’ve seen 36 of them.

1. The Post
2. Darkest Hour
3. Dunkirk
4. Get Out
5. The Shape Of Water
6. Lady Bird
7. Call Me By Your Name
8. Three Billboards
9. Phantom Thread

It’s been very interesting reading everyone’s choices in this thread: a lot of variation in the selections. Seems like we’re all able to think for ourselves and not just rubber-stamp what all the other organizations are choosing; what a concept for an awards group. LOL! Hopefully the rest of the Spirit Awards voters aren’t sheep and we end up…[Read more]

Here’s what I voted for:

Best Picture: Get Out
Best Director: Jordan Peele- Get Out
Best Screenplay: Get Out
Best Actor: Timothee Chalamet – Call Me By Your Name
Best Actress: Margot Robbie- I,Tonya
Best Supporting Actor: Barry Keoghan- The Killing of A Sacred Deer
Best Supporting Actress: Lois Smith- Marjorie Prime
Best First Feature: Patti…[Read more]

I came in 115th myself which I’m happy with considering I usually do pretty bad predicting the WGA Awards. It’s not as good as my first place finish at the DGA Awards last weekend but I’ll take it.

I just moved “Get Out” up to second in my Best Picture predictions after its win tonight. I’ll admit that I was one of those people who completely…[Read more]

It’s really funny: Everyone keeps talking about how Gary Oldman is a sure thing to win the Best Actor Oscar but between the National Board of Review and the 3 major critics groups not a single one of them gave him their prize. Seems like if he was such a “sure thing” he would have won with at least one of them. I know we still have the Golden…[Read more]

Funny you mention that. I just swapped out ‘Murder’ for ‘Mudbound’ the other day. However, I wouldn’t be surprised to see ‘Murder’ sneak in. Us British Columbia boys think alike. LOL!

I’m predicting Metz to win for the same reason as Pete from Deadline. Plus, she strikes me as the type who would give a tearful acceptance speech, dedicate her win to all the overweight people in the world and tell them they’re beautiful just the way they are regardless of what society tells them. It would make for such a memorable awards show…[Read more]

Interesting Stat: 6 out of the last 7 Drama Series winners had multiple editing nominations. ‘Homeland’in 2012 was the outlier for those of you wondering.

This gives ‘Stranger Things’ and ‘Better Call Saul’ an advantage as they’re the only two Series nominees with multiple editing noms.

I hope everyone is doing well.

I’m predicting Hopkins too. That speech he gives at the end of his episode submission is absolutely mesmerizing. It reminds me of his Oscar winning work in ‘The Silence Of The Lambs’ as he makes the most of his limited screen time.

I’m also going out on a limb and predicting David Harbour for Drama Supporting Actor. After his…[Read more]

I’m predicting Fishburne to win for narrator. With all due respect to Meryl he has a more narration-friendly voice and I could see people getting more into the program because of that. Granted I haven’t seen any of the nominees but just based strictly on each nominees speaking voice I see Fishburne prevailing.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Totally psyched I got Martha Stewart & Snoop Dogg right for ‘Reality/Reality Competition Host’ at 100/1 odds! That pairing sounded so bizarre I just had a feeling they would be nominated.

I remember watching bits and pieces of the 1998 and 1999 shows however 2000 was the first year I watched it in full. I was 17 at the time and I remember being extremely ticked off when ‘The Sixth Sense’ went 0 for 6. I couldn’t believe that they gave Best Picture, Director and Original Screenplay to ‘American Beauty’ a film I just didn’t get. I…[Read more]
