This is giving me hope my country could finally get its first nomination.

It’s unbelievable and shameful that countries like Romania and Portugal, with such a significant tradition in cinema and especially in recent times, never showed up in this category. Every film lover roots for them! 😉

Aphex Twin most likely got the veteran choice(Like Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, KraftWerk etc) because he did a lot for ambient music in the 80s and 90s so they felt like they had to give it to him for his contribution to the genre

And rightly so! Also, thanks for mentioning Burial and Four Tet. That’s exactly the kind of nominees I’m hoping for.

This is not a boring category, at least not as boring as some others. There’s always at least one or two interesting nominees there. I hope it sticks with zero popstars and actual electronic music.

I’ve enjoyed the first two episodes quite a lot. Finally something that does feel different from the rest of its ‘competition”.

Album of the Year

Ghosteen, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Song For Our Daughter, Laura Marling
Three, The Necks
grae, Moses Sumney
Scacco Matto, Lorenzo Senni
Kistvaen, Roly Porter
Healing Is A Miracle, Julianna Barwick
Éons, Neptunian Maximalism

But I’m leaving out many great albums. I could probably make an equally convincing (to me) lineup.

It’d be so lovely to see Sophia Loren nominated again, and after so many decades. What an icon.

Shore by Fleet Foxes was so much needed – it’s the perfect healing for what 2020 has brought us so far. It’s not their best album, but it’s still great.

It’s terrible. But I’m happy to see Joni Mitchell that high.

Please, let’s keep Rock and Alternative Album separated. The latter is so much more interesting than the former.

Many good/great performances in her category, but I’m very pleased with Bonham Carter’s win.

Always love to see some love for one of the greatest filmmakers of our times, Lav Diaz, although I’ve heard that this was not one of his best efforts.

Curious about Nomadland’s fate too, none of my friends who were there at the festival thought that it was a particularly good or interesting film, lol.
