I suppose it’s a situation like Judas this year where I would consider Dicaprio and DDL to be co-leads. Also, I know it’s not one of Scorsese’s most popular films but I absolutely love it. It was the first DDL performance I ever saw.
ReplyFebruary 4, 2021 at 8:44 am #1204021181Praise for Amanda wasn’t ridiculous. She and Oldman are best performances of the movie and play each other quite well there. And she still could Regina-King her way out.
Regina King is not an apt comparison for Seyfried lol. King was an industry awards juggernaut before her Oscar win and the love for her was palpable. This is the first time Seyfried has been considered in contention for any major award.

February 3, 2021 at 7:54 am #1204017156Knew I should have predicted Andra Day. I let the narrative of ‘the HFPA love their old Hollywood stars’ lead me astray and predicted Sophia Loren instead.
February 3, 2021 at 7:50 am #1204017111I’m actually with the HFPA when it comes to Ma Rainey’s and Miami. Both were decent films but far too stagey to be nominated for BP imo. They’ll probably make it in at the Oscars though.
February 3, 2021 at 7:44 am #1204017072I’m so annoyed that I made last-minute changes to my predictions lol. I had The Father in BP-Drama since the Globes prediction center went live but swapped it out for News of the World last night. I guess the weak campaign by SPC didn’t matter too much after all!
February 2, 2021 at 1:39 pm #1204014856If Spike Lee gets in here which I’m not predicting then I think I will have to start taking him seriously as a contender and maybe put him in my top 5 for the Oscars.
November 28, 2020 at 12:27 pm #1203880155Just got around to watching this today as I forgot it even came out. Clearly, it isn’t as buzzy as it seemed like it might be early on but then again it is a Ron Howard film. He’s had one high (Rush) and several mediocre/terrible lows over the last decade. We really should have known better thinking it could be a big player this season. It’s a pretty bog-standard melodrama weighed down by cliche and shallow characterization. The flashbacks do very little to justify why we should care so much about the ‘current’ day events. Close and Adams are okay but they’ve both done much better work many times in their careers. I think Close is still in the running for a nomination but not for a win. Which would just be sad at this point, with 8 nominations and no wins? Ouch.
ReplyOctober 14, 2020 at 1:46 pm #1203778817I think as long as Hillbilly Elegy gets moderately positive reviews (~75% RT score) then Close might finally get her hands on Oscar gold. I say ‘might’ because it’s Glenn Close we’re talking about here and she’s lost 7 consecutive times lol.
September 20, 2020 at 8:15 pm #1203723903Well I really enjoyed the ceremony given the circumstances. A few iffy moments but a lot more hits than misses.
September 20, 2020 at 8:10 pm #1203723862My predictions kinda fell apart in the last hour LOL.
September 20, 2020 at 7:41 pm #1203723418I just had a feeling that Zendaya would win even though I didn’t predict her.
September 20, 2020 at 7:02 pm #1203722953Unorthodox winning Directing has to be the shock of the night. Had it in 5th place!
September 20, 2020 at 6:53 pm #1203722825YES! Regina King! I stuck with her from the beginning.
