Bryan Cranston is now multiple Emmy AND Tony winner. He has sole Oscar nomination for “Trumbo” and it’s easy to see him prevailing for a better received movie.

Are we getting decade awards once this season is done?

^^That’s what televised awards do! It was looking nice for Metcalf who won the most from critics but once Janney won Golden Globe, everybody followed suit and it was over before it began. The same happened with Dafoe and Rockwell. I think Janney won with a huge margin because hype around her was very big, not to mention that her film pedigree was far greater than Metcalf’s (4 Best Picture nominees up to that point).

^^Joaquin Phoenix is one of the best actors of his generation. He’s like Albert Finney in that he’s splendid and versitale but won’t play the game. I won’t be surprised if their Oscars track records end up similar.

I haven’t seen this thread bumped until today!

What is this “a category hosted by Jane Fonda”?! She didn’t even present that award this year (that was Pearl Bailey). I consider it not done but you were close. 😀

I’m not a mastermind of this game but I like the challenge so:

Saoirse-Monica Jackson is in “There You’ll Find Me” with Vanessa Redgrave
who was in “Letters to Juliet” with Gael Garcia Bernal
who was in “Blindness” with Sandra Oh

Tom Everett Scott and Rupert Everett

I know it happened some time ago but I’m shocked that Glenda Jackson didn’t get nominated for “King Lear” at the Tony Awards. Maybe after that elusive win last year there’s no hurry to reward her again?

I’m shocked so many people can’t look past the most recent years when they are asked to pick the best of all times.

1940s-1950s
1. Sunset Boulevard (1950)
2. On the Waterfront (1954)
3. Citizen Kane (1941)

1960s (so many amazing screenplays that didn’t win)
1. Darling (1965)
2. The Apartment (1960)
3. The Producers (1968)

1970s (the strongest decade for the category!)
1. Network (1976)
2. Chinatown (1974)
3. Annie Hall (1977)

1980s
1. Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)
… (no other winner in that decade deserve to be in contention for the greatest, again stunning nominees that didn’t win)

1990s
1. Pulp Fiction (1994)
2. Thelma & Louise (1991)
3. Shakespeare in Love (1998)

2000s
1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
2. Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
3. Talk to Her (2002)

2010s (so far)
1. Her (2013)
2. Manchester by the Sea (2016)
3. Get Out (2018)

EDIT

If I’ll try to mix them:
1. Sunset Boulevard (1950)
2. Network (1976)
3. Pulp Fiction (1994)
4. Chinatown (1974)
5. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
6. On the Waterfront (1954)
7. Annie Hall (1977)
8. Citizen Kane (1941)
9. Her (2013)
10. Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)

Some shows in the past stretched plausibility and logic. It happened with “Weeds”, last time with “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “Mr. Robot” when those characters should have been caught, safe or killed, respectively, but none of that happened at the time it logically should.

“Barry” is next as Bill Hader’s character should have been behind bars at the end of the most recent episodes. I love the show, it’s one of my favorites right now but that final development came to fruition simply to prevent Barry from getting punished. It’s justified to keep the show going but not really believable. Let’s see.

Added James Coco for “Only When I Laugh” (actor).

I’ll give it a chance then but I’m still hoping it’s not the best song on the album.

Disappointed in them. I wonder why nobody asks Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria about their thoughts on this. I saw Joely Fisher and Nicollette Sheridan commenting on this but not Felicity’s best friends?
