Ford vs. Ferrari will go the way of First Man.

Phylicia Rashad is going to come back next year with a vengeance, let me tell you.

Speaking truth to power. I love it. If people hadn’t made a big deal out of Ellen Burstyn’s nomination, they wouldn’t have changed the rules.

I don’t understand all this hate for J. Lo. If she has the performance, who cares about her past filmography.

It’s especially bizarre since Mary J. Blige and Lady Gaga were nominated in the last two years with less than stellar filmographies and at least in the former’s case, didn’t have the performance and no one made a big deal about it.

Jennifer Lopez is already a superstar and Hustlers is going to make a lot of money so campaigning isn’t really an issue.

How many of you are actually at TIFF? I don’t understand the backlash at Jojo Rabbit from people on this forum.

I literally took it out of my predictions yesterday.

How can you call Ronan and Theron locks sight unseen?

If you think about it narratively, the film is never told from the point of view of Colman’s character. Yes, the narrative revolves around her character but that doesn’t make her the lead.

It starts from the perspective of Weisz’s character, then we shift to Stone’s character’s point of view as she becomes “the favourite.” However, eventually, we…[Read more]

Kenneth Lonergan got in for Manchester by the Sea. If Marriage Story is as big as predicted, Noah Baumbach will have no problem getting in.

I’m not exaggerating when I say that Don’t Call Me Angel is one of the worst song I’ve ever heard, and I’m a fan of Ariana and Miley.

I’m predicting those two as well.

I don’t think Erivo is happening. She would most likely be the only nominee from her film. That can happen with biopics with mixed reviews (My Week with Marilyn, The Iron Lady) but usually the performance has to be raved about it a big name has to be attached. This year Judy fits the bill, and Erivo, with good but not great notices for her p…[Read more]

I’m also predicting a Margot Robbie win but we’ll have to wait for the reception to Bombshell.

Right now I have:

1. Margot Robbie, Bombshell
2. Laura Dern, Marriage Story
3. Florence Pugh, Little Women

I’m really unsure about the last two spots. In my predictions I have:

4. Meryl Streep, The Laundromat (but only because I got her at 100/1…[Read more]

I really don’t know if I’ve seen a better trailer in my life, so this is very surprising to me. Props to whoever cut together the trailer I guess.

So what do you know about Harriet?

inb4 A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood gets mixed reviews.

It’s set in an African-American neighborhood like Moonlight, it features the ocean as a motif, it has newcomer leads and veteran supporting actors, it’s an artsy A24 auteur movie, and in general reviews have favorably compared the visual style of Waves to Moonlight.

Not true, if you were on this site last year during the fall festivals and the weeks that followed, you would have seen how Lady Gaga was the presumed favorite to win.

What was Leo’s performance in the Revenant? He grunted and suffered for 2 and a half hours. His award was 75% based on overdue narrative and 25% based on his “commitment” to the role and weak competition.
