Hell yeah!

I am watching The Alienist’s second season, and it’s amazing — perhaps even better than S1. This got limited series and lead actor noms here last time around, so I def. don’t think it should be counted out in the barren drama field. Same goes for Dakota Fanning in actress. Brühl isn’t that big a presence this season, while she’s really the…[Read more]

Breathtaking trailer.

With that said, The Father being Hopkins’ movie is equally irrelevant. I don’t think anyone would claim that Marriage Story was Dern’s movie, for instance. It all depends on the category in which an actor is competing and who this actor is (obvs. Dern had a much bigger narrative than either one of Driver or Johansson). Unless Glenn underwhelms –…[Read more]

This “The Globes don’t owe Glenn an award” argument is irrelevant. They also didn’t owe Laura Dern an award last year, yet she still won (although I wanted her to win, I didn’t believe for a single second that J.Lo was taking it). If they love Glenn’s performance in Hillbilly, they’ll probably give her the award. Colman’s gone three for three, and…[Read more]

Personally, I doubt much will have changed by April, so I am almost certain it’ll all he virtual again — which is fine. 100% safety first.

What about having an entire ceremony in open air, with distance and maybe even masks? I know it could be difficult, but it could work — and they could do it heading into the evening.

I would say Kirby is easily that new nominee.

Anything that isn’t going to streaming and/or didn’t screen at film festivals is going to have a problem. This pandemic ain’t ending ending soon, unfortunately.

I told y’all Respect was going to be delayed!

No she was not. There are such clear behavioral differences between the two: Nora is composed, collected and manipulative; Renata is unhinged, emotional and unstructured. They’re practically opposites. Also, Nora is confident while Renata isn’t always that.

I will say that this happens to every actor who portrays an iconic role. The Renata Klein–Nora Fanshaw comparisons last year were ridic. But lol, if people think Vee’s role in Doubt is similar to Annalise… Yikes.

Pre-HTGAWM, she was definitively fighting not to be typecast, which she’s talked about numerous times. And that’s a fact.

Well, she’ll be playing Michelle Obama soon, so she’ll def. be returning to TV.

The point stands, of course, but I am glad Viola chose Murder. People trash the show all the time and say she’s worthy of much more, but let’s face it: that role was and will always be groundbreaking and iconic, and she’s said what an honor it was to play her for six amazing years. Anna Mae Harkness will always be special to me.

I just want Viola to win because I want her to win; I couldn’t care less about what others would link her win to.

Glenn won’t go lead. I am certain. The Chadwick comparisons are flawed because A) Glenn doesn’t have another movie in contention and B) again, Denzel and Spike supposedly made the decision. Glenn will go the Viola/Mahershala route (though I’ve read that Amy has more screen time anyway).

The Davis hate here. I can’t.

But the fat suit isn’t her fault… Just a reminder: A week after Ma Rainey’s wrapped, she had to go back to playing Annalise. She couldn’t put on all this weight and lose it in a week.

But I found it convincing anyway.

For someone who’s seen Viola Davis on the TV screen for the last six years, watching her just let loose and have fun in the Ma Rainey’s trailer was stunning. They probably left out her biggest scenes from the movie — as they should — but how does that mean she underwhelmed? I hope she blows us away.
