Is it true Leonardo DiCaprio is remaking Another Round? If he is, I’m in the front row! I loved the film, and would be intrigued to see the American version.

Andra Day on TMZ saying Chadwick was snubbed

Im sure Ms. Holiday hasn’t seen The Father, and proves she won’t be winning an Oscar any time soon. Sounds like someone has sour grapes. Again, it’s about the performance. Not because you passed away and “this was your last chance.” Doesn’t work that way. And I may be saying things a lot of folks don’t want to hear, and so be it. I’m also going to stick up for the people who feel hurt right now because they’re being viciously attacked for being “racist” and “uncaring” just because the voters went with what they thought was a superior performance.

I wish Frances McDormand had said something last night. She’s very good at bringing a room together. Especially when it comes to equality. But again, she didn’t need to. She was celebrating her success.

A fun and unpredictable year. I’m happy for the winners I wanted to win, and disappointed of course with the nominees I wanted to prevail that didn’t. That’s how it goes. Hopefully the Twitter crowds can get the hint, and also do some film research. A lot of them are not very bright when it comes to awards history or how the Oscars work. They just want to complain.

With the amount of accounts social media suspends for stupid reasons (I won’t even go into which ones), I think anyone dissing Frances Mcdormand and Anthony Hopkins with horrible accusations, conspiracy theories, and racist names should have their accounts taken down for a few months- as a reminder to show some respect.

Til next year, it was nice to see old friends and new, and to everyone- please watch these movies and celebrate a splendid year for performances and filmmaking all around.

Anthony Hopkins’ victory was utterly diminished by the setup as well. I thought he gave the better performance and ought to have won, but the way that they set up the telecast ruined his win and made a mockery of those rooting for Boseman.

I agree the producers manipulated the ceremony for a Boseman “emotional” moment, but that by no means discredits Anthony Hopkins and his best actor victory. Years from now hopefully the win will be looked at as one of the most deserved in history, and not “well it would have been nice- but do you remember the presentation?” Hopkins didn’t even show up (he never planned to). Plenty of actors don’t show up to collect their trophies, and some even decline their victories (Marlon Brando, George C Scott). Doesn’t mean they aren’t still merited with the win. Plenty of presentations get botched too, most notably with the La La Land/Moonlight scandal. Doesn’t take away the fact that Moonlight is still a Best Picture winner.

Don’t let the trashy ceremony ruin what is now a celebrated and OSCAR winning performance.

I have to disagree on those saying McDormand plays the same character. Her Fargo character is WAY different then her Three Billboards character, and her Nomadland role is much more gentle and sustained. I think she’s a wonderful actress and am happy she prevailed.

Your assumptions were half-assed and wrong. Bye.

NAW DUDE. I chose wisely and got Hopkins RIGHT. And I picked him because of MERIT. Not because of political reasons.

You’re a truly hateful person man. Seriously. This is supposed to be a celebration and you’re just jumping all down my back for sticking up for art? You sir, are being cruel and disrespectful. Not just to me but to the actors who won. Again, go watch The Father. Go watch the performances you claim didn’t deserve it and then come back and talk to us. And for the record, I watched Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. It’s a good film. And Chadwick was very good. But not better than Mr. Hopkins. That’s MY opinion and Im entitled to it. So is the academy. Just because they didn’t pick Chadwick does not make them racist!

So basically the people who dont agree with you are immature and the only reason that chadwick couldve won is because voters felt pressured to vote for him? That doesnt sound suspect at all.

Nope. Nice try though.

# 1 is an outright false lie. Plenty of fans of Boseman wanted him to win on performance and thought he was the best out of the lineup, and even more fans of “Ma Rainey” would concur with that. And Glenn’s bit was planned in advance. You tried it.

Whatever dude. Hopkins won. And he deserved it. And you’re just bitter. Bitter and too old to be acting nasty. How long have you been on here? Go watch the performances and form an opinion vs just being snarky. Seriously.

1. So glad Hopkins won. The same people bashing that they robbed Chadwick didn’t even like Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. They just wanted Boseman to win for political reasons. James Dean died and lost TWICE. I am glad the academy picked who they thought deserved it and not peer pressure by a VERY tacky ceremony that started feeling cheap and disrespectful. I’m glad Glenn Close proved that dude wrong when he thought she didn’t have her music history down. Seriously, that was crazy.

2. Frances McDormand WAS Nomadland. I didn’t predict her (I had Andra Day), but its not that shocking is it? I mean if you had Nomadland down for best picture, were you really shocked McDormand wasn’t competitive? I’ve stressed this before- don’t underestimate BAFTA. Ever. And I’m glad a female driven film finally wins best pic and best actress AND the best director is a woman. That’s never happened.

3. You can def tell the difference in maturity and age on these boards. The younger ones often don’t understand that voters aren’t going to want to feel pressured to pick what they’re told to, or who Twitter wants them to. Doesn’t work that way. And again, don’t knock The Father until you’ve seen it. And of course now, people will say “Yeah Anthony was OK.”

The hate needs to stop. This was still a diverse ceremony of multiple winners from different races and countries. And the voters picked who they felt deserved it. And I concur.

I am happy Anthony Hopkins won his deserved Oscar. It was not an easy list. I still think Chadwick was solid, but I’m glad voters went with their hearts and chose who they thought was best.

I also found the ceremony to be a little tacky. The way the titles popped up on screen in those random pinks and how they tried to embarrass Glenn Close- and she GAVE it right back to them! I loved it! But it was an odd ceremony for sure.

Anyways congrats to the winners.

I‘d honestly be sad if Boseman lost. I wasn‘t even a fan of MRBB i thought it was pretty boring but setting up this awards sweep only to ultimately give the big one to someone else just seems cruel. I know he‘s dead and he won‘t see this or hear about it but it bugs me. I loved seeing Hopkins win something and Ahmed win something but the big one should go to Boseman. I need that Boseman Mulligan winner combo. And i‘ll stick with it for my predictions whether it‘s correct or not.

Are you familiar with August Wilson plays? You’re picking Chadwick but thought the film was boring? That’s not a reason to select someone for the best actor award my friend. I loved Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom- fiery, faithful and intense acting. I also loved Anthony Hopkins and The Father more. I’ve screened both movies and have formed an opinion beyond what what political consensus has told me to do.

Once again if you’re going to pick a performance or film, please at least do it because you genuinely appreciated the art on screen and not because you’re going along with the herd.

FINAL BEST ACTOR & ACTRESS PREDICTIONS

Anthony Hopkins, The Father
Andra Day, The United States vs Billie Holiday

I wish everyone luck tomorrow! Regardless it was a great year for acting all around. I will say I keep reading many posters saying “In any other year, Hopkins would win but…”, “Chadwick still won Critics, Globe, SAG…”- I’ve been in your seats before. The years when you think hardware matters more. The years where you answer your own question when writing down your thoughts on obligation vs passion. Trust me, I’ve been there. Recently with Glenn Close and Olivia Colman.

But I think Anthony has it. Voters aren’t picking acting winners based on Obligation anymore- at least, in my unique view of the race. They’re voting with who they want to win.

I take you back to 1996-97. EVERYONE had Lauren Bacall winning for The Mirror Has Two Faces. Then Juliette Binoche took it for The English Patient. Was the mindset the same then? “Lauren has it, so I’ll circle who I really want to win.” Because Binoche deserved that Oscar. Bacall wasn’t even the best part of the film. I found Streisand and Bridges quite endearing.

If Chadwick loses I just hope we don’t have to endure that the academy is racist, or the academy is shameful for not giving it to a “dead man”. Or “Hopkins won because he’s old and British.” Please at least see beyond these cliches. I hope people that DO get mad have screened all the acting nominees, because I am still hearing “Oh I haven’t watched The Father yet, it’s too expensive…but Chadwick should still take it!” It costs $20 to stream. You spend more on your lottery tickets.

Art is subjective and I believe that who ever wins tomorrow wins because they were liked the most. Yes, there will be political motives. But Passion always triumphs in the end. And if there’s more passion for Chadwick, that’s great. My passion is with Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Well I think at this point they just pick who they want. No clue then. If Carey Mulligan is the “heatwave” right now, I would say she wins. But is she just heat online on forums?

Who ever wins will get a major standing ovation.

Rosamund Pike beating Carey Mulligan is not far fetched. Sometimes they prefer the actual comedy role of it all or the star power. Look at James Franco beating Daniel Kaluuya whose film has a lot of similarities to Promising Young Woman or Taron Egerton beating Leo for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Awkwafina beating Ana De Armas beating is strange on paper since De Armas has a much more comedic role but she’s been cementing her movie star role at the time with films like Crazy Rich Asians, Ocean’s 8, Jumanji. Rosamund Pike is the bigger star than Mulligan and has the comedic role.

Not that this is from the category, but do you think voters are waiting for Sunset Blvd to reward Close a Lead, or are they just done giving Career Awards away? Otherwise, I am wondering why Close isn’t winning other then they simply didn’t like her performance as much.
