Surprisingly, LA Critics chose Lopez.

Out of the 3 contenders I saw (her + Shuzhen and Dern) she gets my vote too.

Also, Jane Lapotaire should be submitted for guest for Episode 4. She was great. I had no idea the history of her character

Totally agree. She was amazing.

It’s interesting Tyson said that. I’m not American, so a lot of nuances escape me, but probably the whole welfare thing was the reason she turned down the role.

Also, Claudine was such a messy movie, at least to me. Carroll elevated it a lot, but still – she was fifth, lucky to have been nominated (70s were a mess when it comes to Best Actress category).

Interesting topic.

Wasn’t Page second for Summer and Smoke? She won the Globe, was nominated by NYFCC.
The case can be made for Sweet Bird too although maybe Davis was ahead of her. Interiors is another tricky one – I believe she was the second in lead and would have been behind Smith in supporting.

Cool choice.

Baz Luhrmann is mine. Sadly, after Moulin Rouge he’s getting worse, but only Get Down was a disappointment for me. Yes, I do like a lot of stuff in Australia and Gatsby.

All About Eve is the best acted in my opinion, but followed by:
Network
Streetcar
On the Waterfront
Gone with the Wind
Terms od Endearment
Godfather 2
Nashville
Dangerous Liaisons
Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf
Mrs. Miniver]
Philadelphia Story

From the more recent stuff:
The Hours
Shakespeare in Love
American Beauty
Crash
Moonlight
Magnolia

Love her, but she’s often nominated over more deserving contenders:

The Post – Chastain, even Dench
FFJ – Adams
Into the Woods – Chastain (or Kulesza, but that was never going to happen)
AOC – Thompson
Music of the Heart – Witherspoon, Roth, Weaver, maybe even Paltrow
The Iron Lady – Swinton, Theron

She was perfect and deserving in Out of Africa and Cry in the Dark.

Can’t believe it’s not Ryan Murphy’s production for FX/Netflix.

Love Linney, but I have no idea how she pulled that off. After Globe nominations I thought she was 8th-9th in the line, behind Jolie, Knightley, Adams. I would not nominate her myself, but it’s hard to complain when a truly gifted performer receives recognition.

It was also puzzling to me that some pundits thought her nomination was expected and a nod for Blanchett (Globe, SAG, Bafta nominee) was a surprise in the category.

I think it looks bad, despite the impressive cast. Norton might have gotten a nod for a role like this 20 years ago.

Kinda weird it is not written/directed by a woman or a gay man, but the teaser is pretty great. Only that one camera movement (close-up on Kidman) was kinda WTF and made me question the tone of the whole thing. Still hoping this is the story that gets Theron her overdue 3rd acting nom.

Also would not be surpirsed if Lithgow turned out to be the George Sanders of this.

It looks beautiful visually and there are signs that Ronan and Pugh will be up for awards.

Does not necessarily scream Best Picture contender though, but neither did Lady Bird and after that movie Gerwig deserves to have our trust. And yes, Chalamet in period clothes is HOT AF.

Catherine O’Hara should submit The Crowening. Levy, as the straight man of his show, does not really have a competitive tape IMO.

Chlumsky should go with the episode where she had her abortion rant (‘Pledge” I think).

I think Witherspoon can forget about her acting Emmy. As executive producer she is going to have a hard time explaining this. Kidman won last year and is overshadowed by costars this time, so does not matter for her.

Also, feel sorry for Arnold.

Apparently, Ross is going to appear on AHS: 1984.
