I loved it, but maybe because I wasn’t expecting an Oscar calibre masterpiece. I find Clarke a limited actress, but this is her best performance yet. Hope she gets the Globe nomination. Thompson and Yeoh a hoot as usual. I like my festive films breezy, sweet and ridiculous, so it worked for me, even if it was like something Richard Curtis would h…[Read more]

Well, one could argue the source material is a comedy of manners, so I don’t believe it would be out of place in Comedy.

Praise God. Thank goodness for the presence of ScarJo and JLo. Hopefully they say something controversial. Without them this would have just been another back scratching bore.

I hope they cast the boy from Wildlife or the lead actress from Sex Education, Mackey/Oxenbould

Poor Emily and Queen Helen, at least 3 unconverted SAG nominations each, the Academy disrespect is real

She’s second to Amy Adams in this regard, let’s be fair

Pray, forgive me if I’ve already said this before but I’ve just caught the end of The Last of the Mohicans on TV here and still think it was criminally ignored by the Academy. I’ll admit I love a romance and not everyone agrees but for me it had everything. The score, the cinematography, the passion…and the acting! I’d nominate it across the b…[Read more]

Pain and Glory? 

I haven’t totally haha, today has just been a blow. We know these days that as long as the performances are generally well received, anything can happen. Some films with low scores have still had their performances nominated in recent years. And I still believe this movie will do well at the box office; the potential mature audience is too…[Read more]

Thanks for your condolences haha, the material was there for the taking but I guess it was always going to be risky.

I think she and Ian are at least getting praised despite the vehicle, so I shouldn’t complain too much…I still expect her to get in a few nods.

Sigh, The Good Liar is getting mixed reviews. I remember after reading the novel thinking this could be really good or really bad, oh well. Queen Helen will have to settle for Globe and SAG nods at best. First Asier Etxeandia being dropped by Sony, now this, my passion picks this year have no luck haha *cries quietly*

Oh thanks for letting me know, but I don’t live near London so I’ll have to wait until February like all the other peasants haha

Thatcher

Haha, please, you’re welcome to join the tiny bandwagon. All campaigns start somewhere right? I haven’t seen Parasite as it doesn’t seem to be showing in the UK yet. But I just have this feeling the Academy could embrace Pain and Glory enthusiastically with it being about people involved in the industry…

I had no idea Sony also dealt wit…[Read more]

Would you like to join my campaign? Haha. Let’s clear something up, I meant no disrespect to Cruz, I agree, she was great in her limited screen time, and I’d be fine with her being nominated, but at the expense of a more significant supporting role? I’d have to choose Asier hands down. Do you think there’s any chance he could “De Tavira” his way…[Read more]

This is…disturbing. He literally supports Banderas for most of the film, has more screen time than Cruz, and how can anyone deny that soliloquy? I’m heartbroken. Who is handling the distribution? I’m of a mind to complain to them.

Not that it should matter (but let’s not deny politics play a part) he could also have been a refreshing…[Read more]

Slay me, Queen Helen

Baroness, I’d love to see you tribute Banderas and Mr Etxeandia for Dolor y Gloria. Who knows? You could kick-start their campaigns…

I love Ben too and this is one of his more interesting roles in recent years, and of course, he’s great as usual.

Call me ignorant, but I’d never heard of Emily before this movie. I don’t know if that helped my perception of her performance but I thought she was totally lived in and brilliant.

Imagine the drama when Robbie isn’t nominated at all due to vote splitting lol I can’t wait
