Well, after a couple of years of flopping with my GD predictions for daring to predict out-of-the-box, acclaimed performances from POC actors in movies with great reviews and Box Office success, I finally learned my lesson.

Predicting everybody white next year!

Pretty much this. Any Parasite actress or even our dear Zhao Shuzhen making it seems like wishful thinking, but I hope one of them can break in!

I would love nothing but to see Song Kang Ho nominated here, but he’s gotten no precursors so far. I think we’re treating the De Tavira exception as a stat when in fact we don’t have anything that indicates he’s getting in. If he gets in, no one would be fully able to predict it because he’s in a category were the main five contenders are Oscar…[Read more]

That’s a fair point, but we’re also predicting The Irishman to take multiple nominations, potentially approach the double digits mark and still, we’re thinking De Niro gets snubbed. Wouldn’t be too weird if Ronan gets snubbed for bigger narratives.

That’s such a good question, Carl!

While we’re at it, can we also add Yakutia Aparicio for Venir in Best Actress?

Wow these are really good! I’m glad that Leonardo Sbaraglia finally showed up somewhere! I’m guessing these won’t count for MC because it’s a new group, right?

That’s just your opinion though. The reality is, she has gotten ten critics awards, including one of the TRIFECTA. She’s made it into almost every list of best performances of the year. The critics owe Lopez NOTHING because she’s never been a favorite of theirs. The reality is, she gave an awards-worthy performance, which any capable actress is…[Read more]

Give it up Deelishis, you look like a man.

These were all when BAFTA was AFTER the Oscars. Can you name an actress that has lost the Oscar with the Globe+BAFTA combination since BAFTA started handing out their awards BEFORE the Oscars?

Lopez was a frontrunner to take her category. Murphy was right there with an acclaimed performance and a veteran narrative, and that’s just on the film side. But if you think that Dern was better than ANYONE in her category, or that Taron was miles better than Murphy, then I can’t do anything about that.

Wow, so much ignorance in one post. Being a POC/Minority has to do with the facts that there are less opportunities for people in those groups. There are stereotypes perpetuated by society that prevents these individuals to succeed. They need to work twice as hard for the recognition. Awkwafina IS a minority because first of all, she’s Asian, a…[Read more]

14 acting winners between Television and Film. Only two are POC. What an interesting, telling stat.

Don’t speak for me because I always rooted for Lupita. And I’m sorry, if you’re going to bring up critics, all of these ladies got glowing reviews yet Lupita is the one winning all of the awards, including one of the Trifecta. It’s your opinion that critics tried to push her, but the facts show us that she’s WINNING those awards, and the reason…[Read more]

Don’t. Let’s fight the good fight until the end. The fact that it’s not even about wanting two POC actresses here because they are POC, three of these POC contenders (Woodard, Awkwafina, Nyong’o) have more acclaimed movies/performances as well as critical awards (Nyong’o) than most of these nonPOC contenders. Nyong’o alone has more critics…[Read more]

But we’re just speculating at this point. If any other studio would’ve made The Irishman, I’m sure that the budget wouldn’t had been $200mm. But we can’t say it would’ve flopped or not because we don’t know. What we know is, The Irishman did much better than MS, in a less accessible movie. I’m not sure if MS showed up on Netflix’s main…[Read more]

Respectfully, I just wanted to say that people probably were furious at you because even if you correctly predicted certain performances, it seems like it’s based out of preference more than factual evidence. That doesn’t mean that you are wrong, but you mostly state the performances you think are better. For example, you think Driver will swe…[Read more]

And JLo didn’t act her part? Was she not convincing? We’re praising Pitt for basically giving a superstar charming performance yet a woman does the same and she’s not as good?

Lol now we’re claiming Lopez is lead? And we’re being called delusional stans just because we recognize that Lopez, out of all people, outacted Hollywood Royalty character actress Laura Dern this year.

She’s sort of an enigma nowadays. I think she’s showing up but I wouldn’t be surprised if she wouldn’t. She’s much more selective with her appearances.

And last time an actress won Supporting Actress at the Oscars without SAG/BAFTA noms before Regina King was…?

Stats were broken this year. There’s no arguing that Dern is the front runner, but she can easily fall. The only front runner truly safe for the win is Pitt at this point.
