The RT Audience Score REQUIRES proof of ticket purchase for the rating to count, unlike the other three scores you cherrypicked.

So what? Some ratings can still be mean-spirited, verified or not.

Why are we putting stock in audience scores again? Didn’t they give decent scores for Gotti?

It’s also obviously rigged. The general rating is 83%. Almost 4.0 out of 5.0 on Letterboxd. 7.9 on Metascore.

People, Spencer is LIKED by the audience.

I have no idea what to do with this category. I feel like it’s going to come down to the strength & visibility of the movies here.

Assuming these are our Top 15:

Balfe & Dench
Ellis
Negga
Dunst
Blanchett & Collette
Dowd & Plimpton
Streep
Hawkins
DeBose
Johnson & Buckley
Matlin

– Matlin, Dowd & Plimpton would go out first. Then Johnson & Buckley, because The Lost Daughter seems to be an Actress & Adapted Screenplay vehicle. The questions I have: can DeBose happen at all? Not much buzz around her film, but it’s still a Steven Spielberg film. Can Hawkins coattail if Spencer is not getting in for Best Picture? Can Dench and Streep happen? Let’s not forget how Ellen Burstyn, Sophia Loren and Kate Winslet have missed last year. Name checks & overall respected status are getting less and less important in the voting. Will Blanchett campaign for a supporting nomination, and is there a clear studio preference between her and Collette to push?

I’d say Negga, Dunst, Ellis and Balfe seems to be safe. One more spot to go.

This race really might be between Gaga and Olivia Colman. I’m so excited to see them nominated together yet again.

I’ll eat my hat if the most raved performance won’t even make Top 2 this year. lol

There was a tweet describing Spencer as based on Diana. I think this is the best description for that film. People who are going to theaters expecting to see Diana the public person they saw on news are not going to get this film. And it’s ok, they can go watch crown

Exactly. People are so not aware of artistic interpretation. This is an interpretation. They can go around hating the idea, but call an interpretation terrible is on another level. Ofc general audience is too shallow to understand this.

Saoirse Ronan has never been impressive to me.

She’s a great actress, but people gave Keira Knightley hell for starring in so many period movies (while her career is actually quite diverse in terms of roles), and they are totally fine with Ronan basically doing only period pieces. Yes, I get it, she also did that dreadful Lady Bird that copied all the genre cliches together, but other than that…the reason why she hasn’t won an Oscar so far is that she wouldn’t challenge herself with a different type of role.

I’ve always respected his status and professional attitude of Daniel Day-Lewis, but man, am I tired of his method acting… As much as I admire technique, DDL’s performances belong for theater, not for motion picture. He cannot create a flesh & bone character on screen – it’s always the actor doing a technique.

I love Streep, but some of her nominations were utterly undeserving. On the other hand, she missed out for her best performances in She-Devil, Death Becomes Her or The River Wild.

Toni Collette is the best actress working today.

Kristen Stewart is a better actress with better filmography than Lawrence, Larson and Stone.

The whole jury thing should be cancelled since it’s not producing diverse wins in lead. Whether you admit it or not, the truth remains that the jury was created for diversity sake. I see no reason why a jury decides who gets nominated and the other unit decide who wins. Just when black women were having a good year, BAFTA went for the whitest of all. They should go back to their old ways.

It’s a flawed system because all members are voting for the winners. And the most widely seen movies are the ones with the Oscar buzz. Now, most Hollywood productions and Oscar baits have white leads, which means that in a situation like this Frances McDormand in a BP front-runner is obviously winning over Alfre Woodard, who’s film has been seen by 3-4% of the actual voting body.

I’d say they should do an 50/50 system in both the nomination/winner process. There would be a rank by the jury, and there would be a rank by the audience, and the combined results would make the deal. This way more diverse outcome could occur.

My point is that the BAFTA jury don’t “vote for the sake of diversity” and it’s honestly incredibly tiring to hear people reduce some passion picks like Alfre Woodard and Bukky Bakray last year down to being as a result of some sort of tokenism. The BAFTA jury ultimately voted for the performances they stood out to them the most. Was the lineup my personal preference? No. I would have nominated Mulligan over Blank. But it’s tiring to see people (I’m not necessarily saying you’re doing this but there are some on here who do) to reduce those nominated performers’ accomplishments because Mulligan, Davis, Close, Colman etc weren’t nominated.

The whole idea was to be more diverse, so yes, they voted for more diverse choices. That was the core of the conversation. They would have never considered Woodard or Bakray if there wasn’t a jury of such that made it happen for exactly because of the new system that required for them to do something different this time around: to be more diverse. It doesn’t mean that their nominations wasn’t inspired or deserving, but yeah, back to my original post, 4 white women (Dunst, Balfe, Dowd, Plimpton) would be seen as an overkill.

I always find it ironic that people always keep scrutinising the BAFTAs for nominating 7 white people in the acting categories last year but no one ever scrutinises the AMPAS when only 7 people of colour are nominated for acting and when we have sweeps from people like Oldman in Darkest Hour over Kaluuya in Get Out. I wonder why.

Seriously, stop with your hostility. You are slowly becoming a bully on these forums and I’m tired of it.

In which part of my comment did suggest you to write such nonsense of a post? Who said it’s okay what AMPAS does? Or said that what the BAFTA does is wrong? I simply mentioned that in the name of diversity – it’d be weird to have all  those white women over POC contenders. I wasn’t making a statement nor was bittersweet about it. It was a simple observation.

Honestly I think the plummeting MC score for Spencer is more worrying for Stewart’s chances than the low RT audience score. At this point we have to acknowledge the reality that Stewart is potentially not as strong as we thought she would be.

78 is pretty strong for a Metascore. She’d be mid tier among recent winners.

La La Land – 94 (BP front-runner)
Nomadland – 93 (BP winner)
The Favourite – 91
Three Billboards – 88 (BP front-runner)
Room – 86
Silver Linings Playbook – 81
Black Swan – 79
Blue Jasmine – 78
Still Alice – 72
Judy – 66
La Vie en Rose – 66
The Reader – 58
The Blind Side – 53
The Iron Lady – 52

Also, don’t mix up Spencer not being as strong as we thought so with Stewart not being as strong as we thought so. That’s a whole different thing. Even the negative reviews are acknowledging Stewart’s great performance.

Guess we are at the stage of the game where people are tired of Stewart as a front-runner and make up theories about a possible alternative. This rings such a familiar bell with Renée’s case back in the day.

If they get on the long-list they’ll get nominated at the BAFTAs but I’m not convinced Dowd and Plimpton will make it to the BAFTA long-list. I hope I’m wrong though. They richly deserv recognition for their work here.

It’s quite tricky with BAFTA, tho. They will certainly miss out on the Top 2 placements, and then it’d be a hard battle for two white women from the same film. The jury went 2 out of 6 white contenders in all categories. Diversity push is diversity push for a reason. Let’s assume Negga and Dunst as Top 2, or even Balfe, that already 2 white women in the mix for the nomination.

The “All Audience” is possibly being manipulated by Kristen fans. GA was never going to like Spencer. Just need to see if the Academy will embrace the film. There’s just less than 20 reviews, though, and the average score is 3/5. Let’s wait and see how this will turn out. I’m actually worried that the MC score has been collapsing since yesterday. It will probably settle at 70-75

Pretty sure it’s not true. Letterboxd have it almost 4.0 out of 5.0. So if anything, the haters tried to ruin its score on RT.

I think Dowd and Plimpton are both getting nominated at the BAFTAs, if they make the shortlist. I don’t see a jury snubbing two performances of that nature. Their problem is really how small the movie is and how bad Bleecker Street is with their Oscar campaigns.

I think they will both be pushed lead.
