This year, although I may be biased due to it happening two days ago. The noms missed a shit ton of the best this year–Awkwafina, Lopez, Lupita, Egerton, Murphy–and slotted in a lot of dullness–Marriage Story-generally disappointing.

Well fuck. No Lupita, no Awkwafina, no Egerton, no Song, no J.Lo?

I appreciate the surprises, since they keep it interesting, but I wish they’d put in my favorites. Just like everybody else, I guess.

She should win the award if her peers think she has the best performance, not because she’s a PoC. The Bafta so white thing is an exaggeration, just like Oscars so white was. Why can’t people simply understand that some years will be more diverse than others. Last year two of the four major acting winners were PoC. This year the four acting winners may happen to be white. BAFTA obviously preferred other performances to Erivo, Nyongo, Murphy, Akwafina etc. Many of these performers are on the brink of a nomination and were not sure bets. To suggest there’s a racist agenda is to make a completely unfounded allegation.

Two Asians? Has that ever happened before?

There are over 3 billion Asians, so at some point, there had to be just two.

Now that I’ve processed the actual awards I just wanna rewatch Gervais’ opener for the horrified faces in the audience.

Let’s examine the Golden Globes Graveyard and ask the question What films that got nominated for Golden Globes and had Best Picture nomination buzz are now going to miss the nomination because of poor performance?

If I pray hard enough, Marriage Story

My takeaways

Joker has a chance to get into Picture, and is winning Actor and Score.

Backlash from the snubs may help Irishman and Parasite, especially Parasite. 

Awkwafina is in. Maybe Charlize is out to make room for Queen Lupita? Please let me hope.

Call me crazy, but Dern may be vulnerable. I dunno why. Gut feeling. Or maybe I just really want Lopez.

Marriage Story is basically dead on arrival.

Eddie Murphy is out, Egerton is in, DiCaprio looks weak.

This may be good for Parasite and The Irishman–people angry about their snubs vore them later on

Moonlight and 12 Years A Slave are the only Drama Globe winners to win the Oscar this decade. I really don’t see 1917 coming thru

Darlings, I said it a few timw ago. Shouty DiCaprio is getting snubbed. His performance is not as good to get enough number ones. Even for the fans of that movie. And he’s not overdue anymore. He’s getting snubbed. Mark my holy words.

Madame Prime Minister, that’s not how the acting awards work

1917 is not winning BP at the Oscars. Not when it’s getting no acting nominations.
