SAG is literally film twitter. Whoever it wanted to see rewarded this year came to fruition there. NOT happening at Oscars. AMPAS is vastly classier.

Yeah the org that still have EEAAO double-digit nominations is “vastly classier”… uh-huh

Take a deep breath everyone. Whatever happens today, the films don’t change, the performances don’t change. The impact of certain awards may be diminished by the end, but let’s just try to have a good time and enjoy the show. Take it from Waymond:

Taking the idea from Manav in the Best Actress thread; if you had a ballot where you could nominate five leading actor performances, who would you pick? (List alphabetically)

Diego Calva – Babylon
Colin Farrell – The Banshees of Inisherin
Paul Mescal – Aftersun
Park Hae-il – Decision to Leave
Jeremy Pope – The Inspection

Whether or not it makes a difference in voting, only time will tell. However I find it really sad Michelle said that about Cate, when Cate had been championing Yeoh’s work. I’m so sick of everything being about race and political nonsense, when it should be the merit of the performance. I also know the media of course twists people’s quotes, and so Michelle’s “comments” could have been taken the wrong way. But it still comes off a bit cold for her to say that and then mention Blanchett. I recall Blanchett was also thrown into the Woody Allen scandal in 2014 when she was nominated (and won) for Blue Jasmine. Passion does seem to be in EEAAO so I won’t be shocked if Michelle prevails. But I am sticking to Blanchett, and I hope if she wins that she’s celebrated and not dragged in the mud because she’s not a minority.

It’s been trending all over the news. They even said Michelle deleted the instagram post. If this was not written by her, you could have fooled me. Just re read through all the earlier posts talking about it. Google Blanchett Yeoh, and it comes up right away. Whether or not Michelle wrote it or not, the damage has been done.

Yeah I’m sure damage was done on the literal last day of Oscar voting. I don’t think all 10k members of the Academy are going to Michelle’s Instagram page and seeing this and being like “well I can’t vote for her cause she dragged the other nominees”. I’m sure a lot of these people would publicly drag their fellow nominees if they would get away with it themselves, and that’s not even what she did. This is just pearl-clutching.

My gut is starting to tell me that JLC is gonna win… I’m very wary of predicting EEAAO to win three acting Oscars when I’m already predicting Michelle to win and of course how can I not predict Ke. It feels similar to me being wary about Power of the Dog winning only director last year, then again I was wary about Ma Rainey’s winning more than two (even if I predicted three) so ig it could go either way.

I just want Stephanie Hsu to pull an Adrien Brody but that ain’t happening.

The way this category is so locked that no discussion is happening here. I just can’t wait to see Ke give another speech on Sunday.

And Michelle Yeoh’s horrible comments regarding race and Blanchett are really off putting.

What horrible comments? If you’re talking about her Instagram post, that was taken from an article not written by her. And the article doesn’t even attack Blanchett. Maybe do some research for making a claim like that.

If Brendan Fraser wins for a role that LARGELY consists of him eating pizza and ranch dressing and looking bloated,

I hate The Whale and even I think this is petty to drag him for. I agree his performance is not as strong as it could’ve been, but I blame that on the atrocious writing and overbearing direction. And the problem with that scene is Aronofsky’s direction combined with the score and the editing. Fraser isn’t why that scene is bad.

it doesn’t seem that you learned the right lessons though. Bafta and AACTA are the two awards bodies with a similar make up to the Academy. They’re not guilds, they’re older in average and everyone votes for everything. Both these awards wholy rejected EEAAO, even Quan. I don’t expect the Academy to reject that movie, but I also can clearly see there are strong signs telling me it’s not gonna be a sweeper and it can be vulnerable. AQOTWF’s embrace at Bafta can’t be ignored, and it reflects in the way people are now predicting it to be a strong contender for tech wins and screenplay. It doesn’t take much to know it also has an appeal to a majority of who makes up the Academy. The top 2 is clear to me, what isn’t clear is if it can open to an upset. the lesson you should have learned is to never close your mind about the possibilities. It doesn’t hurt

Okay then fine. If All Quiet wins Best Picture, I will come on these forums and will tell you directly openly on this forum that I should’ve listened to you. But I really do not think it’s gonna be that close.
