Laura Dern killed it. She elevates every character she plays and Nora is no exception. No one else would’ve been able to turn this part into an Oscar winning role but her, period.

Academy Award Winning Actress Laura Dern just has such a nice ring to it.

Her haters on here never win.

I will say, that like Marriage Story’s score, 1917’s score actually took me out of the story a few times. Some moments it just felt like the music was trying to manipulate me into feeling emotions I just wasn’t having. So I’m definitely rooting for Hildur to win.

That being said if 1917 takes the BAFTA I think it’ll probably win the Oscar.

Wow… I can’t believe I got 100% with my predictions. Funnily enough yesterday I went to go change my supporting actress prediction from Laura to JLo in a panic but fortunately the league had already closed! Lesson learned: don’t let the idiots on twitter and in the media convince me of anything.

YAY!!!! THE TASTE!

I think a tie is less special than a win. At least because it happens once in a blue moon it’s something kinda cool but if it happened even fairly frequently it would just be kind of lame.

Scarlett Johanson in Marriage Story is so overrated in my opinion. Most of the time she was on screen I was distinctly aware of the fact that she was acting. In Jojo Rabbit, on the other hand, I actually felt like she became her character.

I’m sorry… What? Try watching Citizen Ruth, Jurassic Park, Smooth Talk, Wild at Heart, Rambling Rose, The Tale, Wild, and Little Women (which literally came out this year) and then tell me she plays the same character every time. It’s fair to say she’s overrated but honestly that saying that she only plays one type of role is delusional and…[Read more]

Jake Gyllenhaal – “Nightcrawler”

Jennifer Lawrence – “Mother!”

Barbara Hershey – “Black Swan”

Laura Dern – “Inland Empire”

Natalie Portman – “Vox Lux”

Naomi Watts – “Mulholland Drive”

My bottom three are The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and The Last Jedi. TPM is the absolute worst though and it’s not even close. Between the point where the jedi meet Jar-Jar and the duel with Darth Maul at the end there is almost nothing to enjoy. And I say this as someone who liked the prequels growing up as a kid.

Off the top of my head; Se7en (if that counts as one), Hereditary, mother!, and especially Alien should’ve been nominated for best picture.

Whatever happened to that person that kept spamming “ThE fArEwElL hAs No BuZz” because it kinda turned out that it didn’t….

Out of everyone, ScarJo has the best shot of an upset I think. The Academy clearly did not really care about Bombshell so I do not think Margot is even in that great of a spot even if she somehow wins BAFTA. ScarJo got a double nomination which almost never happens and when it does the person usually wins one. Renee feels more locked in to me than…[Read more]
