5. the shite by David Yates

Did people really think Erivo would get nominated at BAFTA? She is in the race because the movie made money and her character is a Civil War icon.

Harriet made like 100k in UK and no one there knows who Harriet Tubman is. Why should they care about that movie?

Let’s not be sheep and nominate these two ladies.

1917 might very well win PGA, but I can’t see it winning BP at the Oscars just because the voters from the actors’ and writers’ branches won’t appreciate it enough. The Revenant and La La Land lost for similar reasons.

If anyone of the Parasite ladies gets a nomination, it will be Cho Yeo-jeong (even tho personally I think that all four female performances in Parasite are more worthy than the likes of Dern and Lopez). However Neon are only campaigning Song Kang-ho for acting, so it’s not happening, unfortunately.

I didn’t like The Force Awakens at all, yet people really liked it. I enjoyed The Last Jedi, but people hated it. So I have no idea what to expect.

To be honest, both Disney and SW fandom make me want to puke, so I secretly want the movie to be bad.

I don’t particularly like any of the Disney songs.
Two time Oscar winner Mary Steenburgen sounds about right.

The irony is that Almodovar has done much much more for female representation on film than Gerwig ever will.

I love this thread. The only reason she is in the race is that she is insanely thirsty for that Oscar. And somehow people got into their heads that she is overdue, even though she’s only been nominated twice and has never even been in a Best Picture nominated movie before.

Let’s not delude ourselves though, she is winning. And easily so.

I love how this is discussed in the Best Actress thread

She was the MVP for me as well, perhaps even my favourite performance of the year, but Neon are campaigning only Song Kang-ho for acting unfortunately.

I wish Johansson had frauded herself into supporting. Then at least we would have a worthy winner.

Natalie wasn’t doing anything for women or equality, she was just butthurt that her friend Greta was snubbed.

Jessica, only child, Illinois, Chicago is the only worthy winner in this category, les be honest

I just put Rocketman in my BP line-up and I think a lot of people are sleeping on it. It’s getting in at Actor, Sound Mixing, Costume Design and Original Song, and possibly at Sound Editing. Surely a movie with that many nominations can get in at Picture.

Also, Egerton is campaigning heavily, Elton John just had a book release that he is…[Read more]

I’m less confident in Eddie Murphy now. Dolemite is a kind of movie that should appeal to actors, him missing out to Bale is a very bad sign.
He can still turn it around if he wins the Globe tho.

There is no reason for Erivo to get in at Bafta. The only reason she is in the race is because of the character she playes, why would the Brits care about Harriet Tubman? They’ve never even heard of her.

It’s gonna be Helen Mirren or Emma Thompson at Bafta. Or hopefully Jessie Buckley for Wild Rose.

People are bothering to watch the screeners of it because literally no one asked for another Little Women movie.
At this point it might only get an Adapted Screenplay Oscar nomination.
