Is Amy Adams a lead in Hillbilly Elegy? Someone in another thread said that both she and Close are supporting. (I’m guessing that person was going by the book. The film could obviously be different.)
It would be an awesome makeup if they both won in the same year.

RobertPius replied to the topic How Many Oscar Nominated Performances Were Directed By Women? in the forum Movies 2 days, 5 hours ago
Looking at the list it is interesting to see that the first 3 women to direct Best Picture nominees all got snubbed as Best Director. Streisand was probably a personal thing but Randa Haines and Penny Marshall were probably more sexism.

RobertPius replied to the topic Robert De Niro in The Irishman: Why did the Globes and SAG snubbed him? in the forum Movies 4 days, 4 hours ago
He supposedly said some negative stuff about the Golden Globes once and people think that was them holding a grudge. (Don’t know what he said. Anyone know?)
That doesn’t explain the SAG snub which is just kind of odd.

I saw on twitter that DiCaprio has an hour and eleven minutes (I think somewhere around there) and Pitt has 55 minutes on screen.
Not sure of what Pitt is.

What is the story behind the supposed feud between De Niro and the Golden Globe people? What did he say about them? (if true)

I love The Goodbye Girl. The performances, the humor, the music.
Tina Fey showed it on TCM once and said it was what she thought adulthood would be like. She’d move to NYC, live in a difficult housing situation and it would be hard but that is what adults do. She also said 1977 is her favorite Oscar year.

I think Woodard might start to do better when her peers start voting (other actors I mean.)

It held the record for most nominations without a win for a long time.

Thanks for the vote of confidence!
I think there was some talk that MacLaine was overdue and could win. Bancroft already had one so there wasn’t vote splitting. MacLaine didn’t get a Globe nomination oddly so that hurt a bit. It was her fourth nomination without a win so that helped.
I think Keaton was the favorite with MacLaine and Fonda…[Read more]

I finally saw The Turning Point so now I’ve seen everything. This is one of the best years for Best Actress ever. All five were deserving plus Diane Keaton also had Looking for Mr. Goodbar.
Julia is an interesting film and the train scene is riveting. (dramatic ceremony too with Redgrave/Paddy C. going at it.)
Baryshnikov is an odd nomination.…[Read more]

I knew Place would get one of these critics awards. I went out on a limb and predicted her for this one. Racked in a lot of points with that 100/1 odds.
I hope she continues to score.

Viola Davis going supporting is a big mystery to me. I don’t get who she thought would beat her. It wasn’t that competitive a field.
I guess she got burned once going lead for The Help and decided to play it safe with Fences.
Pity. She’d have won Best Actress.

Supporting Actor is really hard for that fifth slot. I have Pesci, Pacino, Hanks, and Pitt but the fifth is impossible to pick: Dafoe, Alda, Hopkins?

It is hard to muster enthusiasm to even watch Little Women. I saw the Winona Ryder one, I saw the Elizabeth Taylor one in a high school class and I even watched the recent PBS mini-series of it for an article I wrote about Angela Lansbury maybe finally getting an Emmy. I’m sort of Little Womened out.

Did the film end up making the deadline for Golden Globe consideration?

What was the final verdict? Did the nominating committee get screeners of all the major films?
(P.S. When The Post and Phantom Thread got snubbed two years ago was that because no screeners went out?)

RobertPius replied to the topic Where did Kathy Bates place in her previous nominations? in the forum Movies 1 week, 3 days ago
Yes. Some beauty would grab the role and be praised for how brave she was for letting herself look like that.

RobertPius replied to the topic Where did Kathy Bates place in her previous nominations? in the forum Movies 1 week, 3 days ago
Moore was pretty brave going for unlikable roles in her later career. Her last Emmy came for that movie Stolen Babies where she played a really villainous and physically unattractive character. She might have been interesting as Annie Wilkes.

I don’t think The Irishman will win Best Picture. LA seems to like to be different from NY and NBR. Maybe they give Scorsese director and Pacino Supporting Actor.
