That rumor was reported, but Gaga confirmed she would be credited as Lady Gaga on Twitter a little while back.

I can’t even articulate why but the first that comes to mind is Barbra Streisand, especially in her early days. Hell, even Barbra Streisand today.

SQ

Brian Tyree Henry, Widows, had one of the biggest parts based on the trailer.

That story of him refusing that rape scene came out recently, the acting branch will eat that up.

He has no Handmaid’s Tale costars to compete against, and so if the show is looking like a Handmaid’s Tale sweep, there’s no reason Fiennes doesn’t get pulled along for the ride.

I have him on a solid second after Harbour, but there’s no way he’s…[Read more]

John Legend, Tim Rice, and Andrew Lloyd Webber on the same night!

What’s your earliest film memory?

I mean they’ve been on this site all day but have you seen them anywhere else?

I count The Post as an anomaly especially because both Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep failed to receive individual nominations. This cast plus Greta Gerwig stands a pretty good chance.

That trailer is a whole lot of faces I recognize but can’t put faces to. I’m excited!

Umm, you realize that that’s a fake Ryan Murphy account? That account also “confirmed” that Raini Rodriguez is joining the cast… and has 22 followers. The real Ryan Murphy never confirmed these actors.

If it matters, I would have voted for Chapter 7.

The reason why I don’t equate the proposed Oscars audience award to Sundance and Toronto is that everyone who is at Sundance and Toronto and other festivals of its kind is there to see the movies, paid a lot of money to be there, and are seriously invested in film. They might not get to see all the films but just by being there are able to make an…[Read more]

The short answer is no. I think the only films with a real chance of directing/acting nominations are Widows and If Beale Street Could Talk.

Betty Gilpin is tricky because she is the show’s only acting nomination which could lead someone to believe that the show doesn’t have support from the acting branch. However, if you’re passionate about the show you might feel inclined to vote for Gilpin for this same reason.

On the other hand, it’s very likely that with a field of 8 nominees,…[Read more]

I don’t think a trailer will be out until the film has a distributor.

Nick Offerman never having been nominated for an Emmy after Parks and Rec, Fargo, Will & Grace, etc. is criminal.

Thank you for clarifying about the age distinction, although I think practically, if this were to go into effect, the Oscars would want you to be 18.

And of course, I want to be an Academy member but I realize that I don’t see enough movies nor am knowledgable enough in film to be voting. And that would be the case for the vast majority of…[Read more]

I understand because of how weak a year this is for Limited Series is as a reason for there being an advantage, but combining it with Drama would give an advantage both to Drama performers and Comedy categories in general.

The whole point of the separation between continuous and limited series is that the Emmys can recognize performances which…[Read more]

Can someone explain to me Ron Cephas Jones’ appearance on This Is Us? I literally can’t remember him being in any episode this season, and people are predicting him to win.
