Has The Gilded Age even start filming yet?

If they’re doing this to give Chadwick a push in supporting for Da 5 Bloods (which seems very likely) wouldn’t it seem like a clearer path to victory for a posthumous victory in supporting?

Rebecca got pretty bad reviews and I doubt Netflix is gonna put any campaign muscle behind it, I feel like it’s pretty DOA in terms of awards, outside of maybe production or costume design

I actually could see Jodie Comer doing a really good job with this

I’m curious if Lovecraft will go limited or drama (I could’ve sworn I read somewhere that even if it does get multiple seasons they’ll be doing anthology storylines)

Honestly in either category, I think it has a very solid chance of doing well. Series, Lead Actor, Lead Actress, maybe a supporting actor or two. Rewind, 1921 will (or at least…[Read more]

Eddie Redmayne’s cheekbones

It’s because the threshold for films about women being considered oscar worthy is much harder to reach, imo

Yahya probably gives the best and least “Sorkin-y” performance but he’s just not in the movie enough, it’s a shame. Personally I thought Langella hammed it up a bit too much but that means he’ll probably be the one to get nominated.

I maintain that A24 fucked up by campaigning Jacob Tremblay in supporting for Room. Even ignoring the fact that he is clearly a lead (he has MORE screentime than lead winner Brie Larson, he’s the narrator of the movie, and he’s literally in every scene), the lead actor race ended up being much less competitive than supporting that year, and I…[Read more]

Having seen Chicago 7, it actually seemed to me like Redmayne had the most screentime and the most prominent “arc”. The second the movie ended my roommate turned to me and said “so I guess Eddie Redmayne was the lead after all”

The academy likes him and he’s definitely a more “respectable” actor than Cohen, so don’t be surprised if all of a…[Read more]

I love this show but was hesitant to predict as it seemed like maybe too much of an internet thing. But if other people are seeing it too then maybe I can have hope for it. The Globes do love anything with a European element and maybe that can start a healthy run for the show

Everyone keeps saying Aaron wins by default but it seems to me like he still has to get 60% of voters to vote him as “worthy”, so technically there’s a chance he could be the only nominee in the category and still lose.

I would feel so bad for him, but that would also be hilarious

Anyone else shocked when they saw Shonda Rhimes first netflix series is a period piece about a white girl?

I know it’s unlikely but I’m just going to throw out there that I hope Everybody’s Talking about Jamie gives Sarah Lancashire her Olivia Colman crossover moment (if anyone hasn’t watched Happy Valley watch it now).

Her role in the original musical was nominated for an Olivier award in the leading category, so if the movie’s a hit and gets…[Read more]

Am I the only one who thought the Hillbilly trailer looked, kinda bad… Amy and Glenn are really hamming it up

I see Prom being the fun musical everyone hypes up but then isn’t very good and Everybody’s Talking about Jamie being the movie no one’s looking out for but then becomes a crowdpleasing favorite.

I really don’t see Vanessa Kirby as a viable option here. Best Actress never really goes to someone from a tiny indie movie UNLESS they’re a veteran (Julianne Moore, Renee Zellwegger), or the movie is a BP player (Brie Larson), which I really don’t see happening for Pieces of a Woman.

The only times that has happened in the last FIFTY YEARS are…[Read more]

It’ll be very interesting to see how the Corrin vs Anderson race plays out. We’ve seen these narratives for this show before, just not in the same category. It’s essentially the Churchill role (veteran actor playing a political icon) vs the Margaret role (unknown newcomer as a tragic heroine). But if anything it’s made even more equal by…[Read more]

Also just gonna add in here that Bette Davis:

1938 – Jezebel (won)
1939 – Dark Victory
1940 – The Letter
1941 – The Little Foxes
1942 – Now, Voyager
(then missed ’43 but got in for ’44, so 6 noms in 7 years)

and Greer Garson:

(got in for ’39 but missed ’40, so also 6 noms in 7 years)
1941 – Blossoms in the Dust
1942 – Mrs. Miniver (won)
1943 -…[Read more]
