Some performances off the top of my head that I think are overlooked, not necessarily underrated so much as they are under-discussed.

• Tilda Swinton in We Need To Talk About Kevin
• Scarlett Johnasson in Under The Skin
• Joaquin Phoenix in You Were Never Really Here
• Vicky Krieps in Phantom Thread
• Naomie Harris in Moonlight
• Rooney Mara in…

Glad The Irishman took BP here, overall some pretty great and interesting wins, hopefully The Irishman extends its front runner status a little with this.

On The Irishman, I could definitely see both Pacino and Pesci getting in. Both have a lot of screen-time and are generally fantastic. Pacino has the bigger chance of winning, but Pesci has a lot of interaction with De Niro and is in the film essentially from the first to the last moments. Not that it’s worth anything but I personally preferred…[Read more]

Fair point but I just think the Best Comedy category is much stronger than the Best Comedy Actress category unfortunately, also my thinking is kind of that if one gets in the other will too so I just put them both in. Hopefully it gets in Best Comedy though.

Still waiting to see on Bombshell, think it could sneak in and be quite popular here if it’s good. I think The Irishman will win, with Marriage Story close behind, but given the chaos of last years Globes I wouldn’t put it past them to give it to…[Read more]
