MIA being an anti-vaxxer is probably the most upset I’ve been at a piece of news that trivial, she has one of the most astonishing discographies by any artist ever

Mara should’ve won that year, despite competing in a different category, of the nominees, Rampling > Blanchett > Ronan >>>> Larson > Lawrence

if I see mulan nominated anywhere in costume/production/makeup design I’ll probably have a meltdown, the whole thing reeks of orientalism

terrible update, 3/4 of the new entries can barely be called competent albums, but it’s good to see more female artists represented, especially hounds of love deservedly debuting in the top 100

Mescal in Normal People is probably my favorite work by a male actor in a very long time

Madonna already got what she deserves and some more, she’s just not cool enough for the critics anymore and even she’s at peace with that.

Kylie Minogue is an overrated hack who made one actual great album but got scared back into mediocrity by its commercial flop. Impossible Princess really was the moment though.

I agree with the latter statement but there hasn’t been anything particularly wrong with Chalamet’s choice of projects. He’s still working with reputable directors in prestige projects, it’s the way he and his team have chosen to present him that’s been troubling to me.

pascal’s attachment inspires some confidence, but with madonna herself so heavily involved I’m just not sure

I’ll do a top 10 as well

Rooney Mara, Carol (lead but performance-wise there’s no beating her)
Laurie Metcalf, Lady Bird
Lesley Manville, Phantom Thread
Michelle Williams, Manchester by the Sea
Sally Hawkins, Blue Jasmine
Florence Pugh, Little Women
Rachel Weisz, The Favourite
Amy Adams, The Master
Sally Field, Lincoln
Jessica Chastain, The Help

I just have a gut feeling he’s gonna at least get nominated there (and Murder Most Foul will be in SOTY)

the way most of my picks are out of top 100 as expected

a pretty average set of winners considering how spectacular the album winners were this decade. bridge over troubled water is without a doubt the best song here, but it’s a perfect piece of songwriting that’s never gotten the perfect recording it deserves, so I’ll go with hotel california on this one

Graceland for sure, I do admire Double Fantasy but don’t revisit it nearly as frequently as I do other records of its caliber

Bridge Over Troubled Water, duh

streets of philadelphia by a significant margin

shake it off is a brilliant pop song and people who say otherwise obviously hate life

exaggerated statement aside, 1989 has held up much better than emotion, if hit+filler synth pop record you must have at least get the one with some actual personality
