on track to be #1 R rated movie of all time. exactly what it needed to be for Phoenix to be a top contender.

Agreed with this. Her brownface has a purpose that becomes clear at the end. Thats why no one has talked about it in a month. Razzies are themselves a joke anyway and mean nothing in terms of Oscar.

Egerton is like 8th or 9th. Will he even get a main BFCA nom? He wont have more passion than Banderas. His film wasnt as successful at box office as Once. True they do have a massive campaign but he needs it as a newcomer in a summer release. And then you have the Netflix vets in Murphy and Pryce. He has to jump quite a few people.

People still forgetting about Streep.

Did Avengers Endgame win the golden lion?

So true. But y’know we gotta award the same boring biopics every year!

I think it’s possible he wins one or two. Dont think it will matter for oscar though.

Barf. And NYFCC hews much closer to Oscar than LAFCC which makes their snobbery all the more hypocritical.

GG hated Get Out too. Didnt work out too well for them.

Wow Shaun the sheep didnt qualify. Hmmm gonna have to think over that 5th spot.

Baumbach has been edging himself slowly towards the end of my predictions. I wonder if he can miss in the end?

This is more difficult than usual since there are a few movies that have gotten great critical notices but none that is runaway favorite. Not too long ago I thought Marriage Story was best positioned here but Parasite and Irishman lurk. They do enjoy being FIRST! and setting stage of the season so a lot of early faves may win if none of the late…[Read more]

The man talked to an empty chair. Not sure if you found that in his filmography.

I hope Richard Jewell is good because it is an interesting story, but i am afraid old man clint is going to turn it into some deep state conspiracy! hoax! witch hunt! and all the other crazy things that are floating out there right now.

Once Upon a Time
Irishman
Marriage Story
JoJo Rabbit
The Farewell
Joker
Little Women
1917
Just Mercy
Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

I think the story about the film is yet to be written. Even the positive tweets had some reservations about how it could be interpreted. That is why I am awaiting reviews.

Streep got raves in Laundromat. She got in for worse movies, hell she WON in worse films. Underestimate her at your own risk.

Neither, ScarJo or Awkwafina

I think best performance goes to Phoenix. He had a 3D character with nuance. The best comic book adaptation though goes to Ledger as he hews very closely to that while also being very entertaining.
