As many people have pointed out, Chalamet is sort of this generations Leo DiCaprio, and look how long they took to give him one. He got nominated for his breakout film performance, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they hold off for a while for him to really grow into himself.

What are the odds Hustlers is J-Lo’s Magic Mike? Rather than her one and only shot, it’s the start of Lopez-aissance that leads to her being back in the conversation in a couple years? Crazier things have happened – not to mention both are literally about more seasoned strippers taking younger up and comers under their wing and then turning on…[Read more]

She (deservedly imo) got in the conversation for Descendants for a pretty small role, hopefully she get’s something bigger that gets her back in the mix!

I’m a little surprised myself but I went with Lady Bird, a movie/performance that I considered good not great when I first saw it but in the years since the more it sits with me the more and more impressed I am by it. I remember a critic saying (can’t remember who) “I cannot describe to you how refreshing this movie is” – and me thinking that was…[Read more]

^ I think she’ll avoid that because I don’t think Scarlett seems to have much personal support. She doesn’t seem to be one of those people that “everyone loves” and has this great lovable reputation in hollywood, so I don’t think there will be a ton of people thinking “I just love Scarlett so much and want her to win something so I choose…[Read more]

Watching fucking Anna Paquin get nominated. I wouldn’t be surprised.

I think Parasite’s presence hurts, but I think the fact that it wasn’t France’s pick was the real nail in the coffin; voters just haven’t felt any need to watch it probably.

Although I am predicting a surprise cinematography nod, and it probably should be getting in for costume design, screenplay, and in a perfect world both lead actresses with…[Read more]

I think Song will. I think he’ll be the easiest for support to focus around, no one can really agree on who the best actress performance is. Same in Roma, De Tavira is basically the only person that could’ve coat-tailed (although she was actually my personal winner in the category, it prob was a coat-tail nomination more than her actually having…[Read more]

I didn’t really need the script to explain any specific conflicts because I felt like I got a good enough sense of what the larger issues were in their marriage. That he was so invested in his own career and his own reputation as a “genius” and her as his “muse” that he completely stopped viewing her as a person outside of her marriage to him.…[Read more]

I predicted Marina De Tavira last year and everyone probably would’ve said the same thing. Power to ya dude, no guts no glory

She’s not my personal choice or anything, but I did like her and am happy to explain why, especially considering I’ve never really been impressed with her before this year (I don’t get the hype about Lost in Translation, I just don’t). I actually thought she was pretty natural onscreen, much more than I’ve ever found her before. She even made…[Read more]

I am actually predicting a surprise cinematography nod for this, which I don’t think is that crazy because that branch has proven to be very open to international films, even one that aren’t getting a ton of love elsewhere.

It is a shame this won’t be getting more attention though, both lead actresses are better than any of the current expected…[Read more]

This was my very first year following the Oscars but even I remember being surprised that In Living Proof didn’t get nominated. Pretty sure it got in for the globes, was in the highest grossing BP nominee of the year, and is also just a good song but famous people.

The more I think about it, I think people are being too hard on this movie. Sure the CGI cat thing is kinda weird, but if you just let yourself get used to it (which happened for me after like 10 minutes, but like I said above I was also very not sober) and don’t think of them as cgi cats, but just human beings in CGI costumes, then it’s basically…[Read more]

I got high as fuck and loved it. I recommend everyone seeing it this way.

And yes, it is extremely sexual for some reason

^ sure but I think you could argue there isn’t really any undeniable performance, in either category (at least not that a majority seem to agree on). She’s not my personal winner in either category, but I also think she’s deserving enough of a nomination for either and I prefer her to the current frontrunner in either category, so if enough people…[Read more]

Do we think there’s a chance Scarlett starts winning the televised awards as a way to give her something for her two nominations? I actually wouldn’t mind it, she’s not my personal choice in the category (that’s Zhuzhen), but I actually prefer her slightly to Lopez and definitely to Dern, (haven’t seen Bombshell yet though) so she’s my favorite…[Read more]

I feel like there hasn’t been much news about this! I’ve been so excited for it and I didn’t even realize they’d begun production.

Doesn’t necessarily seem like it will be an awards player, but I think we have to consider it based on the pedigree of the source material (Tony winner for Best Musical), and obviously the Lin Manuel Miranda of it…[Read more]

Also I think if we’ve learned anything in the past few years it’s this: NEVER doubt Regina King at the Emmy’s.

Ok so is this Yalitza thing a joke, and am I just thick for not getting it lol? I see no record of that movie existing on the internet
