    Superman was absolutely snubbed in reality so I’m 100% fine with this.

    I Know This Much is True is more in danger of being this year’s The Tale as a downer that people do not feel like watching.

    On a related note, am I the only one who wishes HBO would stop buying Oscar-worthy films and then wasting them on the Emmys?

    The Tale and Bad Education would’ve both been solid Oscar pushes, maybe even winners (especially for Jackman and Dern), but the TV Academy has spent the past couple years actively ignoring TV movies outside of their own category.

    I thought AHS: 1984 was terrible, and I’d be surprised to see it get any nominations. And this is coming from someone who thought the preceding season was one of its best.

    The same thing was said about Cult and look where that ended up

    I wouldn’t bet on Fern getting nominated, but it just screams Adina Porter in Cult. An empty category where they get a makeup nom for that they deserved for their 1st season on the show. He was competing in drama lead actor for his Apocalypse though so it’s not really a straight apples to apples comparison though.

    ^ this.

    I’d give him all his current nominations, plus ones for Ford v Ferrari, American Psycho, and The Machinist, but no wins yet. He, for me, has yet to be the best in his category.

    What does this even mean?

    Tenet is still going to theaters, and that could have a positive effect on Nolan’s Oscar chances.

    Apparently no other filmmaker works as hard as Him to resurrect the cinema business. Since the Oscars are nothing but politics- does it mean his chances for finally winning an Oscar are actually real for once?

    I think if Tenet does even acceptably, the notion of Nolan as savior of cinema (which is not entirely undeserved) could carry him to Best Director or even Picture.

    Do we really have to be rooting *against* people?

    If you dislike their performance that much, yes. I spent the whole 2019 Oscar season rooting firmly against Green Book and Roma. Because I hate them.

    I think Watchmen takes Series, Supporting Actor (Tim Blake Nelson), Directing, and Writing.

    Blanchett wins Actress easily. Jackman wins Actor and Bad Education wins TV Movie.

    Colette wins Supporting Actress.

    Hollywood gets nominated for Parsons and Pope and we all promptly forget it.

    Devs gets a few below-the-line nods, plus one for Directing.
