Hayden replied to the topic Who do you think has a chance of getting 4 Oscars in their life? in the forum Movies 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Is this for acting only?
Daniel Day-Lewis (upon a comeback), Cate Blanchett, Francis McDormand, Mahershala Ali, Christian Bale (maybe).
Outside of just acting, the list is a lot longer. Unless there’s a major shake-up, I think McDormand is going to win another for producing this year even if she misses lead actress. Denzel, Tom Hanks, Alexandre…[Read more]

Hayden replied to the topic Very Early 2022 Oscar Predictions (Part 2) in the forum Movies 2 weeks, 5 days ago
I think Wes would’ve won the Palme D’or this year, especially if the 2020 “competition” is anywhere close to what it would have actually been (I’m 50/50 on whether Small Axe or Soul would have actually been in competition). Hoping they give The French Dispatch a reset for the 2021 festival as well.
Any other hopefuls on your list?

I could see Annette winning the Palme D’or. Especially with the Spike/Driver thing.
I wonder if they’ll slip The French Dispatch into competition… or at least out of competition. No idea what’s happening there, but I do imagine it’ll be a heavy-hitter come 2022.

Hayden replied to the topic Oscars 2021 Predictions: Best Picture and Director (Part 5) in the forum Movies 2 weeks, 6 days ago
As weird as it sounds… it might? I honestly don’t think people enjoyed it that much, and it’s not like it’s an impactful film or anything. If it weren’t for the fact it really isn’t the strongest year for competition, I’d say it could be miss on BP but still land a couple noms here and there in other categories.
The issue is, even at 8…[Read more]

Let’s be real, the Golden Globes have a pretty bizarre opinion on what a comedy is. Just look at their 2013 nominations…
I also consider Druk a drama, but who knows what they’ll think.

Yeah, would’ve loved another handful of minutes, but either at the beginning or at the end, not the middle. Another New York minute or two pre-‘near death’ could have gone a long way.
All I meant was that Odom Jr’s not a runaway. There’s other decent competition other than Kaluuya as well. Even Paul Raci could get a huge boost. I haven’t…[Read more]

Not while Kaluuya’s in contention.
I’ll give him Original Song though. I don’t think he has any competition at all there.

Forgot to mention in my previous post that I agree this is a fair ineligibility, and I agree with your point about stop-motion films being an exception.

Hayden replied to the topic Oscars 2021 Predictions: Best Picture and Director (Part 4) in the forum Movies 3 weeks, 1 day ago
It is a smidge vague, but I believe it snowballs down to the fact they can’t land nominations. Hoping it changes eventually.

Hayden replied to the topic Oscars 2021 Predictions: Best Picture and Director (Part 4) in the forum Movies 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Unless the rules change some time very soon, no. They can be nominated for score, screenplay, picture, sound, song, etc… just not director (or cinematography).
I don’t even think something like Isle of Dogs or Fantastic Mr. Fox from Wes Anderson is eligible for BD for the same reasons. The DGA just have this blanket statement against animated…[Read more]

No, they’re ineligible.
I think it has something to do with there not being a director of photography. There isn’t actually any individual to nominate. There would have to be a different category for best animation (not animated film).
I agree with you though. Some of Pixar’s best frames ever.

Keep seeing Pete Docter’s name misspelled. Just a reminder it’s not spelled like ‘doctor’ the profession.
Anyway, I think Soul could legit be competition for Nomadland. I mean, why not? I think it’s Pixar’s best shot at winning in years. The Inside Out and Coco snubs doesn’t make it feel like the most hopeful bet, but if Soul misses it’d be a…[Read more]

Hayden replied to the topic 2021 Best Animated Feature Thread in the forum Movies 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Not sure about everyone else, but Wolfwalkers and Soul are possibly my #1 & #2 films of the year so far (haven’t seen Minari or Nomadland yet…). I’d be very happy to see either of them win this category, and I’m hoping at least one gets a BP nom.
-
Hayden replied to the topic Golden Globes 2021 Film Predictions (Part 2) in the forum Movies 3 weeks, 3 days ago
I have the exact same, just flip Trial and Nomadland.
-
Hayden replied to the topic Golden Globes 2021 Film Predictions (Part 2) in the forum Movies 3 weeks, 5 days ago
I have to admit, I haven’t seen Minari— does it have less English than something like Inglourious Basterds, The Two Popes, or Babel?
EDIT: Or hell, Borat 2?

Hayden replied to the topic Golden Globes 2021 Film Predictions (Part 2) in the forum Movies 3 weeks, 5 days ago
I’m cool with keeping a ‘foreign language’ category, but that should be no reason to exclude them from the best picture categories. That’s just embarrassing. Especially for an American film, with American production, telling a story about America.
-
Hayden replied to the topic Golden Globes 2021 Film Predictions (Part 2) in the forum Movies 3 weeks, 5 days ago
Just making sure. (Was fairly sure she wasn’t). They have had non-English acting performances win in the past.

Hayden replied to the topic Golden Globes 2021 Film Predictions (Part 2) in the forum Movies 3 weeks, 5 days ago
Terrible choice on Minari. Hope the GG’s grow out of this standpoint in the future.
Is Youn still eligible?

If the director deserves the nomination, the director deserves a nomination.

Maybe we need to start telling these people Small Axe isn’t a movie.
Best Actor category’s great though. Hoping the Oscars mirror it.
EDIT: You know what? These are pretty good nominations. Just weird a TV ep slipped in.
