There is no way “no one will be nominated.” There are a bunch of precursors like the Golden Globes, Critics Choice, SAG Awards, and BAFTA Awards that will nominate someone from the film and this will make it more clear as to who will be nominated at the Oscars.
What if all 4 of the TTOTC7 guys that are receiving the most praise (Abdul-Mateen II, Langella, Rylance, Baron Cohen) get nominated and Leslie Odom Jr. is the only other nominee? That would be the easiest win ever for Odom Jr. with all the vote splitting that would happen.
The Respect announcement is exactly why I’m afraid Judas and the Black Messiah might not get released in time for eligibility. It feels weird that we still haven’t had a release date announcement when there’s only 4 months left of eligibility and the trailer was released months ago.
Ryan Coogler is listed as a producer for Judas and the Black Messiah which means if the film gets nominated for Best Picture, he’ll receive his first nomination. It feels weird that the director/writer of Fruitvale Station, Creed, and Black Panther has yet to receive a nomination.
1. Anthony Hopkins (The Father)
2. Chadwick Boseman (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom)
3. Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah)
4. Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods)
5. Gary Oldman (Mank)
Wendell Pierce announced today through Twitter that he’s going to play BB King! I’ll be on the lookout for whenever that comes out. Pierce is a fine actor, so I’m very excited to see him take on this role.

Why do people think “I May Destroy You” will get submitted for the limited series categories instead of comedy or drama? And why would its category submissions be different from “I Hate Suzie” if they are both British series on HBO/HBO Max?
Bodyguard was another British series that only had one season and it was submitted and got in for Drama Series.
It’s official: Soul is coming directly to Disney Plus on Christmas Day. RIP theaters.
I was trying think of ways that this year might change things for the film industry in the future. Movie theaters will still be a thing, but I think pretty soon we’ll start seeing more and more films have a much quicker turnaround from when they get released in theaters to when they get released on streaming services or digital on demand. I could see the way they have Netflix films being released in theaters a few weeks before they’re on the streaming service become the new norm and other services like Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+ and maybe even Peacock will start following their model.
