I changed my predictions today to include it in SAG Ensemble and added Johansson in supporting. I’m predicting her for Globes and SAG but not Oscars (yet). I know Actor is crowded but I could see them going for Davis too (kind of like how Tremblay got the individual nomination a few years ago).

I was really expecting to be sour on this film after the lukewarm critical reaction and comparisons of its TIFF Peoples Choice win to “Green Book” taking that same prize last year. And yet I absolutely adored this film. I know critics were upset the film was not more overtly political, but that is not the film Waititi was trying to make. He gets…[Read more]

This past week’s episode was brutal and dark and actually legitimately scary. I agree that they keep changing things up week to week, and that makes it the most unique show on broadcast TV right now even after just a few episodes. I’m really liking it.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out what Gary Oldman is trying to do in “The Laundromat.” Actually, I just have no clue what “The Laundromat” is trying to be as a movie. This was a mess.

Whatever the Golden Globes nominate.

I mean…just completely perfect. They nailed the landing. It is quite a feat to hand over a huge twist that immediately sends you in a million different directions and you’re excited about every prospect. Every line of dialogue, every acting choice, every directional flourish, it is all just P E R F E C T. Jeremy Strong really came through and d…[Read more]

It’s just you.

Did you see the box office records it broke this week? This is the hottest movie of the moment, and that includes “Joker.”

This show is definitely the most interesting offering broadcast TV has offered this fall, and it continues to grow more assured with every episode. I have full trust and faith in the Kings to deliver something completely unique, which is better than the countless procedurals that have been offered this year.

I know there is a spoiler thread, but I think I’ll save specific discussion in that thread once more people have had a chance to see the movie. I just wanted to give my general thoughts on the film so people can read this before they see it, so I won’t give away any specific plot details or anything. I heard it before I saw the film and I’ll agree…[Read more]

Not if you hate it?

After seeing “Parasite” last night (full review on the thread later today), I can definitely see the film being a threat for a SAG Ensemble nomination. In my original post in this thread, I called “The Farewell” the little indie that could make it into this lineup, but “Parasite” could just as easily fit the bill.

I’m not predicting Lupita for an Oscar nomination, but I do currently have her for Globes and SAG, so she is very strong in this race, but I won’t be confident that she can make the Oscar race unless she gets some strong critical awards and nabs Globes and SAG at least.

I am already sweating thinking about the fact that everyone deserving of a nomination won’t get one, but I do hope at the very least we see nominations for Cox, Strong, Snook and Culkin. Last night was excellence as usual and the finale looks like it will be absolutely brutal. I cannot believe this was written and shot months ago and yet speaks o…[Read more]

“Marriage Boredom” is one of the laziest title puns I have seen on this forum. Every year, certain people on this forum love to give films and actors these ridiculous pun nicknames as a means to demean the film and it always comes off childish and stupid, but at least put some effort into your puns because your lack of wit is only aiding the bad…[Read more]

Immediately after coming out of the film, I kept going back and forth on whether I thought this was a good film, which is probably not a good reaction to have coming out of any film. I needed to sit with what I saw and figure out if I didn’t like the movie or was simply upset by the things I saw onscreen. Film can be upsetting but still f…[Read more]

Show these boards to A24 and Sony as proof they should campaign “The Farewell,” “Little Women” and “OUATIH” in the Comedy categories. Those three films and their leads should easily land nominations there, though the two Sony films may do so regardless. Hell, even “Hustlers” would have a shot in Comedy even though JLo is solid no matter what (an…[Read more]

I had “Little Women” in Ensemble, Actress, and Supporting Actress in my first predictions, but I know how SAG usually responds to films that break late in this race, so I’m tempted to take it out of Supporting Actress (though I really don’t know what to predict in its place) and I’ve already replaced it in Ensemble. This is the same reason I’m not…[Read more]

This show is a bit of a mess, but there are things to really like about it and some things that I really didn’t like at all. The writing is all over the place and it really seems like most of this season wasn’t mapped out ahead of time, which is wild for an eight-episode season where the main story is wrapped up by the end of episode seven. The…[Read more]

Renée Zellweger is very good in “Judy,” but the film itself is…so, so mediocre that it is difficult for me to really appreciate her performance because I was never fully into the movie due to an uninspired screenplay and lack of visual cohesiveness. That audience members can see past those shortcomings to recognize Zellweger’s great work is a…[Read more]

It made almost $80 million worldwide and is A24’s highest-grossing film ever, but go ahead and continue to twist the truth so it fits your narrative. I’m not saying this because I think Lupita is undeserving (because I would fully support a nomination for her), but no need to throw Toni Collette under the bus to preserve your argument, esp…[Read more]
