This is a seriously HARD year, and I think we’re all going on this journey together Sunday with tense hearts. I wish everyone the best of luck.

I am picking Green Book, and not because I think it’s the best film of the year (The Favourite is my pleasure). But I feel it is the easiest to “like”. I feel recently the academy has chosen vanilla…[Read more]

I am predicting First Man. The moon landing is just stunning. I couldn’t believe how real it seemed; no bad CGI or cartoony effects. It has a center focus which is why I think it prevails. I originally had Ready Player One, but I think it splits with Avengers. Speaking of the latter, why are people predicting this to win? The last time it was…[Read more]

Once again a boring Country Album wins. That is the Grammy’s favorite genre. If there is a country album in the midst, rest assure it will win.

“Shallow” losing Record of the Year? Shameful.

Black Panther’s album losing? Wow.

This is why I skip the Grammys now. They are the worst of all the awards circuits. They are also the least progressive.

It’s not that I PERSONALLY think so. It just seems to be the pattern I am noticing with best picture winners. Also the Best Picture winners as of recent have not won more than 4 trophies. I think The Artist was the last one to get more than that. Shape of Water, epic as it was with nods, only got 4. Moonlight got 3. Spotlight only 2! Birdman 4,…[Read more]

I never said Lee was going to win. I said I would like him to spoil. That’s MY preference. I am predicting Cuaron.

A movie can lead the nominations and lose to a movie with a smaller load. Just look at La La Land and Moonlight.

Podcasts are opinions like anybody else. I am just sharing what I have heard. I am not a psychic and cannot tell if…[Read more]

I think Green Book still pulls it off. I am not at all turning my nose up at Roma, which I feel is highly competitive- especially with those acting nominations. But that PGA loss doesn’t sit right with me. And yes, sometimes the preferential ballot can change- but I think overall Farrelly’s film is just an easier choice. Easy story to follow,…[Read more]

The Emmys need to go back to Sunday nights. Everyone in the audience and everyone who presented was tired, bored and lacked any energy. INCLUDING the horrible hosts. ANYONE would have been funnier and more worthy then those two. ANYONE. Off the street, my next door neighbors, even my pet cat. How are you on SNL but act like you’re falling yourself…[Read more]

Roseanne Top 30 Episodes

Yep 1994 for sure. I do love Ryder in Little Women, and Sarandon is fine in The Client, but nothing incredible. Lange is strong in Blue Sky- but as noted- this movie was shelved for 3 years by Orion studios after going bankrupt. Hence filmed around 1991. With the supporting actress also limited (eg Jennifer Tilly getting nominated for Bullets over…[Read more]

Thanks! I am def seeing it this week and am excited. Very Happy for Mr Ivory too.

I know I might get yelled at for this, but seeing the clips last night of Chalamet’s performance – I was a bit underwhelmed. Did the voters miss picking a better clip that would show more, er, range? I do look forward to seeing Call Me By Your Name.

Good to hear Fantastic Woman is the best of the Foreign film screenings, so it will win on merit. I still will keep Insult as a Big Bet. Shape of Water as Cinematography. Get Out for Picture.

Good luck everyone!

I think I Might go with- Lady Bird……is completely shut out for the evening. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Actually, I MIGHT switch to Metcalf. I have 5 minutes to make this decision.

The Ames, Iowa Society of Elderly Women Film Critics JUST posted on the Knitting Boards THEIR predictions for the winners, and they often get it right- according to their Treasurer, 91 year-old Hannah Hanson.

BEST PICTURE: The Post

All 56 of the gals picked this, saying it’s easy to see why. “It’s about Washington, and we all know whats going…[Read more]

Well- I could see Laurie winning. But Lady Bird, Best Picture? I don’t know. I don’t think it could win based on consensus (many say Meh about it). But England is pretty good. Damn. Another wrench in the puzzle.

@Teridax: Yikes! I just realized that slip. I am putting my Big Bet now on The Insult (thanks to Chris B’s prediction; he often gets some upsets in there). Thanks for that heads up 🙂

Well, I’ve entered various contests across the board JUST so I could have a different Best Picture winner for each one – thank you! And this will make me feel a WHOLE lot better when that envelope is opened, once again by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. Though I hear SHE’S the one this time that will actually open it- then look, then realize…[Read more]

Go Adrienne!!!!

Surprised Mustache Joe is gone, but this is def a nail biter to the end.
