Agree to disagree

The studio chose to only campaign “Shallow,” most likely to avoid vote splitting and have a better chance at winning with only song in contention. Though “Shallow” is arguably not the best song in the film, it is the film’s most recognizable.

This would be amazing. If she were to perform “Always Remember Us This Way” at the Grammy’s it could be a great jumping off point for her to release it as a single. I still think its the best song from ASIB and would play very well on the radio.

Yea, I’m not sure where the Aquaman visual effects love is coming from. Having seen the film last night, there is no point in the film where I thought to myself “wow, this looks so real,” which is something I thought while watching Ready Player One for instance. The visuals are fun to look at, but by no means the best of the year.

Predictions:
– Avengers
– Black Panther
– Ready Player One
– Solo
– First Man

Should Be Nominated:
– Ready Player One
– Avengers
– Solo
– Christopher Robin
– First Man

Let’s face it, Black Panther is going to be nominated for just about everything because voters feel expected to do so. The visual effects in Black Panther were its biggest…[Read more]

After seeing Vox Lux, Natalie Portman should certainly be in contention for this category.

Since I haven’t seen Vice or Beale Street yet, I think this should be the lineup:

Rachel Weiz- Tha Favourite
Nicole Kidman- Boy Erased
Natalie Portman- Vox Lux
Olivia Colman- The Favourite
Michelle Yeoh- Crazy Rich Asians

Stone belongs in Lead and Foy…[Read more]

I saw The Mule last night and I was really impressed. I wish it was in contention for awards this season. The story wasn’t really what I had expected it to be, and all the little twists it took were very refreshing from what this film could have easily become. If this is truly Eastwood’s last film, I thought it was a perfect one to go out on.

Cooper deserves this over Malik, easily. Malik has the benefit of archival footage and conversations with those who knew Mercury. I think voters will have more admiration for Cooper because he learned to sing and play music for the role and really embodied his character in a way that seems fresh for him. I also think voters will remember that…[Read more]

Having now seen all 3 of the leading contenders, I can honestly throw all my support behind Gaga. Her performance is the one that stays with me the most and I feel she had the most versatile role. Close shouldn’t even be in contention this year, sorry. Her yelling at Pryce was her only strong scene and she ultimately suffered from a poorly w…[Read more]

Certainly more lines and screentime than Harry Shum Jr., but I guess that is ultimately the studio’s decision during the credit creation process.

Is Harry Shum Jr. (Crazy Rich Asians) the first actor to be nominated for SAG for only being featured in post-credits scene?

Sterling over Milo for This Is Us…really? 🙁

Someone in the other thread questioned why Panic! wasn’t nominated, and I honestly think its because High Hopes really peaked after the voting phase.

So true! Mendes DESERVED this nom for a song that was actually personal and more than just a pop bop.

So much to unpack!

LOVE the Shawn Mendes nominations. I knew he would get in somewhere with the career he’s been having, and I’m thrilled In My Blood made it into SOTY. His album has a ton of great songs (In My Blood, Lost In Japan, Nervous, Youth, etc.) so it’s definitely a worthy choice.

Also LOVE the support for Lady Gaga this year. Shallow…[Read more]

I think Sam Elliot’s snub at the Globes today may work in his favor at the Oscars, and the films chances as a whole. It reminds me when La La Land swept the Globes, then faced backlash and ultimately lost Best Picture. Though I think ASIB will win a few Globes, I don’t think it will sweep, which will then help its Oscar chances.

Very happy for The Kominsky Method, as I just watched it the other day and thought it was a great little show that focuses on topics and a generation that are often forgotten on TV.

Sad and disappointed for Milo Ventimiglia, absolutely deserves a nomination for This Is Us. All the people praises its snubs obviously don’t actually watch the show,…[Read more]

It’s frustrating to see Black Panther make it into Best Drama when films like Widows and Boy Erased deserve to be there more.

BEST PICTURE:
-Love, Simon
-Ready Player One
-Won’t You Be My Neighbor
-Christopher Robin
-Crazy Rich Asians
-A Star Is Born (Winner)
-First Man
-The Hate U Give
-Boy Erased
-Green Book

I see you 1975.
