How are critics still reviewing films? Screeners?

This entire field has a giant asterisk on it until we find out if Adele is releasing before or after this season’s eligibility period ends.

By this I meant along the lines of a vaccine which of course is unlikely any time soon.

I sure hope so but this seems a bit too optimistic given how disastrous the situation is right now. Things need to take dramatic turn for the better for things to be back to normal by September.

Yeah it would be a good idea to just postpone them. Would that lead to the Grammys and Oscars also being postponed? It’s possible in my view.

Decent film but has one too many silly moments for me to consider it a great film. Would be forgotten awards-wise any other year for sure but this is an unprecedented year so who knows.

Yeah I think they would’ve just announced the winners. Despite the Academy’s decision to move the Oscars up to early February this year being a very unpopular one they did unintentionally avoid a huge headache in doing so.

Bingeing some modern classics for the first time: The Sopranos, Futurama and Parks and Rec.

It has been reported (see https://www.technologyreview.com/s/615381/coronavirus-spread-could-slow-with-warmer-weather/) that the most recent analysis suggests warmer weather does reduce the transmission of the virus. So hopefully this helps it subside in the coming months.

The No Time To Die song is no Skyfall but it’s still good enough for an Oscar nom/win.

No chance they both get put in supporting.

I don’t think Woody Allen is in the same bracket as Polanski and Weinstein in terms of controversy considering he won an Oscar just 8 years ago for Midnight in Paris long after his scandal.

How? A lot of people were saying they would stay the same or drop.

I don’t think that’s the case at all with either actress. It seems there’s always a loud minority that disagrees with some of the acting front-runners/winners every year.

Imagine the party on here if they both win in the same year.

It doesn’t really matter. As long as the film is strong enough and scores nominations across the board she’ll be in it to win it.

If they both have meaty roles that allow them to showcase their range and immense talent then I think they will have an excellent chance of ending their droughts.

Michelle Williams and Jake Gyllenhaal need Oscars so that we can say the main quartet in Brokeback Mountain are all Oscar winners.
