Same here! I’ve been saying since September – to much opposition – that it would win Best Picture. It feels good to (most likely) be proven right.

1917 deserves it.

Well, our ballots are in. Looking forward to seeing what films have made it!

Nice! I think American Factory is my favorite documentary this year. Also, if you have Hulu, you can stream The Biggest Little Farm and Honeyland – if you haven’t seen them already. They’re both great documentaries as well.

Oh, that’s awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed it. The documentary field is pretty stacked this year, but I’m sincerely hoping it makes it….

I just watched the documentary For Sama, and all I can say is wow. Just, wow. It’s one of the most beautiful, moving, gripping, heart-wrenching films I’ve seen in a long time.

I know there’s only a few days left for the Gold Derby Awards nominations, but please watch it and consider adding it to your ballot. It truly, truly deserves it.

I placed 824/12613 with 76.61% accuracy, which is .58 better than my score last year.

Such improvement.

I got 5 for 5 as well. I’m predicting 1917 winning, à la First Man (understated Visual Effects that triumph over the blockbusters.)

My thoughts exactly.

Finally had a chance to type out my thoughts:

Happy about:
– Jojo Rabbit and Ford v Ferrari in Best Picture! I got 9/9 in that category.
– 1917 receiving so many nominations (personally, I think it has Picture/Director/Cinematography in the bag).
– Cynthia Erivo in Best Actress
– Kathy Bates in Best Supporting Actress
– Scarlett Johansson…[Read more]

See you all tomorrow for the Oscar nominations!

Major boost for OUATIH tonight at the CCAs, but I still think 1917 will win Best Picture at the Oscars. Over the last 10 years, the CCA Best Picture winner has only gone on to triumph at the Oscars 6/10 times (The Shape of Water was the last match). I just have a feeling that 1917 will benefit greatly from the preferential ballot – I think it…[Read more]

SAME!

1917 is my favorite film of the year, and George MacKay was phenomenal. Even though it wasn’t as “flashy” a performance as some others this year, he did an expert job with portraying the myriad emotions through the film.

I’m almost considering making a last-minute change and adding him to the lineup….

@chris-beachum @paul-sheehan When can we make predictions for DGA, PGA and BAFTA? Cheers!

TAIKA WAITITI!

That is all.

Edit: still predicting Gerwig for that fifth slot, though.

Personally, I think we’ll be getting nine nominations this year:

1917
OUATIH
Jojo Rabbit
Parasite
Marriage Story
The Irishman
Joker
Little Women
Ford v Ferrari

When will BAFTA be added to the predictions center?

Now that 1917 has received a WGA nod, I feel even more confident than ever that it’ll win Best Picture.

With it almost assuredly winning Cinematography, Director and both Sound categories at the Oscars, plus garnering nominations in Original Screenplay, Production Design, etc., it’s growing stronger by the day. OUATIH is probably the closest…[Read more]

^ What @JackO said. It seems like we’re the only ones defending 1917!
