I LOVE Meryl Streep but I pray the Academy is over nominating her for everything. Especially for light weight films that are borderline mediocre. The Florence Foster Jenkins nod is probably her worst ever. Next to Into the Woods.

Delroy Lindo gave the performance of 2020. That monologue in the jungle is one of the greatest acting moments ever captured on screen. He was universally acclaimed by everyone. EVERYONE!

Even if the film has its faults, there’s no denying the brilliance of his work. He could very well win SAG too. It’s the type of challenging role actors love.

Gaga is definitely in Pop Duo/Group & PVA. She & Ariana will likely win for the former. 🙌🏾

I will LOL if BTS wins. “Dynamite” is everywhere: TV, commercials, ads, radio, etc.

“Positions” is a cute single. But unless it spends 17 weeks @ #1, I highly doubt voters will remember it. She’ll more than likely have a bigger hit to contend next year.

“Circles” definitely gives me “the big hit that got snubbed vibes”. It happens every year. Someone has to get omitted.

And can I be honest? I prefer “Lockdown” over ICB & TBP. Anderson is on the cusp of getting in the GF (outside of his BNA nod). It’s the type of record that relates all of 2020’s atrocities into 1 song. Which may feel more u…[Read more]

IF Fiona appears in the GF it’ll be for AOTY IMO. I don’t think any individual song from FTBC made enough impact or noise to make it into ROTY/SOTY. Even as a random WTF nominee.

The album as a whole received acclaim. So IF the BRP decide to finally recognize her it would be for the entire body of work.

Y’all will rue the day when Post Malone finally becomes a serious contender. It’s bound to happen eventually. Especially in a weak year.

He’s a popular White hybrid male musician. His versatility as an artist could potentially land a victory in Pop, Rap, Rock, or maybe even Country. I wouldn’t underestimate him as a future GRAMMY winner.

Instead of BNA maybe change the name to Breakthrough Artist. So acts who were previously nominated as a feature, songwriter, or producer are eligible for their debut albums.

Adele ain’t stupid. Sis is trying to get an EMMY nomination for Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. And TBH, she probably would win.

The fact that she previously lost a Daytime Award to Rachel Platten 💀

But seriously, A4 is coming soon. Probably after the election. I predict we get a single first then an album announcement.

Let’s be honest: Roddy Ricch should’ve been eligible for & won BNA.

Lewis Capaldi’s omission is understandable considering that SYL was nominated for SOTY. His breakthrough happened during the last GRAMMY cycle. Fair.

But Roddy won as a feature. A FEATURE! He didn’t blow up until 2020. Before this year he had no prior album in conside…[Read more]

I predict Taylor/Folklore will receive at least 5 nominations:

Album of the Year
Song of the Year – “cardigan”
Pop Solo Performance – “cardigan”
Pop Vocal Album
Music Film – Miss Americana

Other possible nods:
Pop Duo/Group Performance – “exile”

I don’t see “betty” getting into Country or “Only the Young” in Visual Media.

“Positions” is a cute song. Very catchy and it’s the perfect blend of Pop & R&B. I like it.

The Prom definitely won’t be a major Oscar contender. But the Globes are going to eat it up. Meryl will receive her 10,000th nomination. Ryan Murphy might show up in Director 👀

The Supporting Actor race is by far the most open of any acting category and its already giving me anxiety 😂

So is Kaluuya really being placed here? Or is this based solely on speculation? If true, he would probably win.

There’s always a big hit that’s snubbed in Pop Solo. I predict it will be DSN.

Taylor is more of a favorite, “cardigan” is GRAMMY friendly, and it actually hit #1. She was just nominated for YNTCD. So it’s not inconceivable to believe it will happen again.

My Current Predictions:

Chadwick Boseman, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom
Anthony Hopkins, The Father
Daniel Kaluuya, Judas and the Black Messiah
Delroy Lindo, Da 5 Bloods
Gary Oldman, Mank

Alt: Riz Ahmed – Sound of Metal, Steven Yeun – Minari, Kingsley Ben-Adir – One Night in Miami, OR Tom Hanks, News of the World

Current Predictions:
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, The Trial of the Chicago 7
Charles Dance, Mank
Frank Langella, The Trial of the Chicago 7
Leslie Odom Jr, One Night in Miami
Mark Rylance, The Trial of the Chicago 7

Alt: Tom Burke – Mank, Eli Goree – One Night in Miami, David Strathairn – Nomadland, OR Chadwick Boseman – Da 5 Bloods

It’s possible Chadwick is still nominated in this category. His performance was NOT the stand out in Da 5 Bloods. But that emotional scene with Delroy Lindo was impactful and extremely effective.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a double nominee.

Even though I LOVE Olivia’s unexpected (and well deserved) win, that would be another slap in Glenn’s face.

Hillbilly Elegy may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it looks like a totally transformative role that could warrant an inevitable victory. For Glenn’s sake I hope this is the one. 🤞🏾
