This year is tragic for Original Songs.

I don’t want the Lopezes winning again, but the other contenders are just insufferable. Cats looks awful. Beyoncé’s generic song tanked. The Elton one is probably his worst song ever. I don’t even remember the Randy Newman song and I’ve heard it before. Diane Warren is campaigning for another song she…[Read more]

Sadly, I think Cinematography and Score are its only chances. I hope Fox Searchlight capitalizes on those categories. Their other contender, Jojo Rabbit, doesn’t seem competitive in those categories anyway.

Original Score – Main Theme

8 nominations. 0 wins. James Newton Howard is overdue.

Bohemian Rhapsody winning Best Editing still gives me nightmares

This season was so good, probably one of the best seasons on television. I love this show so much but I also want The Crown to finally win. I hope The Crown delivers so we have a full bloodbath next awards season.

“DC” was fantastic, probably the best-written episode of the season so far. Looks like the season will end on a high note next week. This show deserves all the nominations next year.

I didn’t like Parasite that much, and this is devastating news.

I think it’s a good film. The second act is very suspenseful and is the peak of the film. But I didn’t like the contrived climax. Also, the rushed ending didn’t make me feel any emotion personally. Generally, I liked Shoplifters more.

I think I will like Portrait of a Lady on Fire more, but we’ll see.

I’m believing that this is Saoirse Ronan’s time to win Best Actress. Her monologue in that trailer looks so convincing. And I’m not even a huge fan of her.

I think it’s just okay in all creative departments, with Desplat scoring and all that. But I have a feeling it will not stand out in anything other than costumes. The cinematography is quite…[Read more]

God this looks so good and powerful. I hope the reviews get better.

It will have its North American premiere in TIFF.

My earliest FYC for your predix:
Picture – The Irishman is the only one that currently feels like it. Tarantino’s controversial flick ain’t it.
Director – Martin Scorsese. He has only one Oscar.
Actor – Joaquin Phoenix. It’s his time. I can feel it.
Actress – Saoirse Ronan has the best chance right now.
Supporting Actress – Idk. What an empty…[Read more]
