Not in the slightest. Why would a bunch of old white men NOT watch a film in black and white and 1.19:1 aspect ratio filmed using analog equipment that has been compared to the likes of Bergman and Godard? Yes, they probably won’t appreciate its experimental nature, but they’ll certainly watch it, not to mention, the newly anointed AMPAS members…[Read more]

We still have people thinking Nyong’o is getting a nomination for a movie the Academy will not watch.

Would love to see the AMPAS truly take to this and nominate Eggers, Pattinson, Dafoe and Blaschke for Screenplay, Actor, Supp. Actor and Cinematography.

It’s what they deserve

And just because I’m bored (won, nominated):

Negga: New York Film Critics Online, African-American Film Critics Association, Alliance of Women Film Journalists, Black Reel Awards, Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Palm Springs International Film Festival

Academy Awards, AACTA, BAFTA Rising Star Award, Critics’ Choice, Golden Globes, Got…[Read more]

Also, if I’m remembering correctly, Negga was an early frontrunner after Loving premiered at Cannes. Her standing in the top 5 only faltered after SAG/BAFTA took a sharp left turn and nominated Blunt and Streep over her and Huppert.

You can be both sad that Amy missed out and happy that Negga got in. Streep was the real spoiler, here.

Actually, in my book, Brown would win, but Dafoe gets priority this year

Imagine thinking Dafoe is #10. He is easily fighting Pacino for #1.

Pitt, Hanks, Brown, Pesci, Hopkins and Waititi could NEVER.

The only person I’ll accept beating Dafoe is Brown 

Shuzhen was the highlight for me, personally, but I will do anything to ensure Awkwafina’s nomination

List of actresses not happening at the Oscars:

Zhao coming for those critics prizes

Thank you! Neither are happening. I appreciate the effort on their end to prove me otherwise, but it’s just not happening for them

And Helen Mirren coming out of nowhere to take someone’s spot for a psychological thriller would be quite exciting. Not a problematic British actress in failed oscar bait but you keep doing you, Bee.

The critics have spoken and your girl ain’t happening!

Harriet is formulaic Oscar bait with meddling reviews while Us is a sill horror movie that hasn’t aged well. Neither films are contenders in any other categories unlike The Farewell, Bombshell, Judy, Marriage Story, Little Women, etc.

Not bias, sweetie, just reality. Lupita and Cynthia will never happen.

Jodie Turner Smith is not to be underestimated! Same with Helen Mirren.

Cynthia and Lupita don’t belong anywhere near this list (objectively speaking). They don’t have the proper vehicles like the rest do. Once again, no hate on Lupita or Cynthia, but their films sorta suck unlike the rest, and I really hope Jodie and Helen make this cat…[Read more]
