I’m still wondering how Adam McKay got an ensemble of A-listers for DLU if the script was THAT bad.

He’s Adam fucking McKay, that’s how.

Don’t sleep on A Mouthful of Air. It is a movie about a writer who suffers from post-partum depression, and Amanda Seyfried could land another nom.

I have my eye on it, I even have Seyfried in my predicted five

Also possible Streep VS Blanchett in the same Category for the same movie ! That would be a dream come true..does anybody know if they share any scenes by the way? BAck to my point, I can totally see Blanchett pulling off double nominations for Alley and DLU

If Meryl Streep plays the character I think she plays, then I don’t think she gets nominated. That character doesn’t have much to do

Cate Blanchett getting both acting nominations ( leading for NIghtmare Alley and supporting for Don’t Look Up ) is a strong possibility, don’t you think? I Know she has pulled this off back in 2007 but I can see her as the first actor/actress ever to achieve this again!

I’ve read the screenplay to Don’t Look Up, and it’s horrible. This is coming from someone who actually liked Vice. I suggest that it’s not as strong a contender as we think it is…

If we end up having a head to head in Screenplay between Last Night in Soho and The French Dispatch, I can see Last Night in Soho lose the Screenplay Globe to The French Dispatch but then come up and win WGA and BAFTA. A bit like Promising Young Woman and Parasite.

It would follow those two films’ trajectory of the most original film winning

Zola is coming nowhere near Oscar attention, it’s not even Hustlers. Whoever had Colman Domingo in their predictions needs to drop him right now.

I’m not entirely sure what to do with Annette. It seems like a movie I’d stan hard, but I dunno if it’ll be an Oscar contender.

Don’t Worry Darling has to receive at the very LEAST the same amount of acclaim that PYW received to make me think it could get in. It’d be cool since I was a fan of Booksmart and I love Florence Pugh, but I have my doubts. Idk what to do with it, so I’ll say “maybe”

Tbf, three of this year’s Director nominees had no huge hits before their films broke out into the Oscar race. Now, obviously, you could say that they wouldn’t have made as big of a dent as they did in a normal year (I don’t fully agree with that tho), but it still stands that your previous body of work doesn’t have to be recognized by the industry in some capacity in order to get Oscars love.

It’s not that they don’t like actors turned directors. Otherwise Clint Eastwood wouldn’t be a two time winner and a four time nominee. The big question is if the direction is auteur or not, if lacks identity and if is too dependent on Screenplay.

Fair, I guess, but how many people knew what Frances Ha was despite Gerwig getting the Globe nomination?

I think if you’re gonna predict Olivia Wilde or Halle Berry to come anywhere near Director nominations, that’s not a very good idea. As we have seen with Ben Affleck, Bradley Cooper, and even Regina King, the directors’ branch is not a fan of actor-directors. Yes, I know they nominated Emerald Fennell last year, as well as Jordan Peele, Greta Gerwig, and M*l G*bs*n, but the latter was already established as a director by 2016, and the former three were not known as actors, at least not to the branch (except maybe Jordan Peele). Wilde and Berry are already known as actors, so I highly doubt this cliquey ass group of people is gonna be willing to go for them.

Don’t remember if anyone posted here, but: https://deadline.com/2021/04/amanda-seyfried-movie-a-mouthful-of-air-sony-pictures-worldwide-acquisitions-1234746117/ I’m feeling a lot of goodwill coming from this, and Amanda Seyfried having lost last Supporting Oscar is fresh in people’s minds and will certainly be bumped for this. I mean, look at this still:

If it’s up the Academy’s alley and it’s campaigned well enough, I can see her getting in. Idk about winning, depends on whether or not Blonde is their thing. But if those things happen and it’s a well-received film, maybe she could win.

I’d be all for it, Seyfried has gotten far too much shit as an actress and I wanna see her win an Oscar just to prove everyone wrong

The Northman having such a high budget makes me a little more optimistic about its chances. The comparisons to The Lighthouse need to stop. The Lighthouse’s budget was 4 million and it was a horror film. The Northman is not that. If Eggers manages to get a high Rotten Tomatoes/Metacritic score as he did with his past films then The Northman is likely touching the Oscars. This has been said many times but this film is more like The Revenant/Gladiator than it is The Lighthouse/The Witch.

I definitely think it’s a crafts contender, but I’m not quite sure about Picture just yet. Need to see a trailer

The book also doesn’t sound like something that would make an Oscar-friendly movie just based on the plot description. But again, maybe I’m wrong.

Well for one, I hear it’s a thriller. Not like Parasite, but more like Sicario. And Sicario was not well received by the Academy. Take this with a grain of salt, my senses/connections may be completely off base, but I’m not really feeling it atm.

I think The Power of the Dog and Don’t Look Up fit more in SAG’s taste.

The more I hear about Power of the Dog, the more alarms go off in my head. It just doesn’t sound like an Oscars thing at all. Maybe I’ll be wrong, maybe I’ll eat my words when it premieres, but I have several concerns about this movie.
