it's clear they showed director this early so people would already know who was gonna win best picture if they don't wanna stick around for another 1 and a half of this boring ceremony.

I thought for sure Nomadland would win Best Adapted Screenplay. Maybe this year’s Oscars won’t be as predictable as I thought?
it's not exactly a screenplay movie so the father winning makes sense. best director & picture are going for Nomadland for sure though

as long as the father wins either actor or screenplay I'll be satisfied. the rest of the categories are kinda boring
this is amazing

The Father was the best film of the year imo so it makes sense it didn't win anything. congrats to nomadland

Also I had to laugh when Adams was announced, even though it's such a SAG choice. One of the best actresses working today but Hillbilly Elegy is just embarrassing for everyone involved.
It's gonna be so disappointing if Close's moment finally happens for arguably one of her worst performances.
with Amanda out, it's Close vs Colman round 2

Oldman and Hanks would need to flop for Yeun to get in in a non-english performance from an A24 movie.
hmm Mank seems like it's much more divisive than initial reactions suggested. maybe Oldman could miss a nom.

so it turns out that Depp was the abuser and Amber Heard wasn't lying? and that's why WB asked him to quit?
why do people still defend him then, I guess he was a good Grindelwald but if the court ruled that he's a wife beater then this is a good decision.-

Fincher not pandering to the general audience for more accessibility appeal is probably the most exciting part of these reactions.

Hudson is out. the Oscars delay look really silly right now, either the film is a dud or they want it to make money in theaters.

supporting actress is so weak this year that I can see Close getting nominated even with a 40s MC. although I wouldn't be sure of her winning as much as pundits were initially thinking.

A24 putting Yeun down for Actor is just a bad decision, considering how stacked it is (Oldman, Hopkins, Boseman, Lindo, one of the actors from Trial, Tom Hanks, Kaluuya are all more likely contenders). Should've gone for supporting because it's kinda empty now and he probably would've been nominated.
yeah my thoughts as well, especially when the little boy is the lead and the parents are just co-leads so Yeun could've worked as supporting. the movie is also mostly in korean (like at least 80% of it ) so that doesn't help with the AMPAS. Antonio Banderas got nominated last year but his performance was undeniable and in Minari the boy and the grandma got the most bait-y material.
although it was one of the best A24 movies I've seen (like top 3) so I wouldn't underestimate it for a bp nom and but the odds don't look too good for it in other categories now that they wasted a supporting nomination.
imo they should put it on Apple TV+ and make it Apple's main push for the Oscars.

Nomadland has little to no chance of winning bp for obvious reasons but Mank could still do it ( like the Artist in 2011). I think it will be between Mank, News of the World and Chicago 7. (Judas has a shot too if it makes the deadline but it has no release date yet so)
Nomadland and the Father being 2 of the best movies of the year getting nominated but winning nothing meaningful will be disappointing to see but it would mirror Little Women/Irishman and Marriage Story to an extent from last year.

this is something that could actually give Hopkins competition in this category, he was almost locked to win against lindo/oldman/hanks/Kaluuya imo but against Boseman he is in danger.
-
Hillbilly Elegy looks like it will be the most bait-y film from Netflix acting wise this year, I don't think it will get good reviews (it should be fine awards wise with 50-60 MC) but Glenn Close is def happening and older voters will probably eat it up so a filler BP nomination wouldn't surprise me.
I hope the whole movie isn't just screaming, yelling and crying though

Soul sounds like a step down from Inside Out but I still think it can get into screenplay/picture

Netflix probably isn't getting 4 films in though. I'm skeptical of Da 5 Bloods getting anything other than Lindo nomination and Ma Rainey's seems more like this year's Two Popes to me, where I only see Netflix really campaigning for acting.
I might be wrong but with Dune and The French Dispatch going to next year (and no word on whether Judas will make it in time or not) I do not see a scenario in which BOTH da 5 bloods and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom don't make it in best picture. one of them will get nominated imo
if we assume that the top 5 is
Nomadland
MankChicago 7
Miami
News of the World
That leaves 3-5 spots for:Soul
The Father
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
The United States vs Billie Holiday
Da 5 Bloods
Tenet (?)
Minari
I would say their chances are more likely than not. hillbilly elegy could be this year's The Two Popes and get the acting nods, although probably with much worse reviews (like a yellow MC score)

with soul going to Disney+, there will possibly be 6 best picture nominees from streamers.
Mank, Trial of the Chicago 7, One Night in Miami, Ma Rainey's Black bottom, soul and da 5 bloods.
a record to be sure

with Billie Eilish's No Time To Die out of the race, this category is looking pretty grim.
My Home Town is too good for a Eurovision movie but I hope it gets nominated.

I can see Lindo getting snubbed but I doubt Holland would get in either.

Huh? Reviews are pretty good and the movie could win if it gets a lot of support from the actors branch (which I think it will). I think this will be the film that gets huge industry support while Nomadland will be the critics darling. I think it's a frontrunner.
idk i was hoping it would be more universally liked. it seems like the direction is the blandest part of the movie so Sorkin's chances for director are very slim and at best he might only get a nom (Green Book missed a director nod too iirc). so its pathway to best picture would be through SAG Ensemble/Screenplay wins which might happen as everyone agrees that it's super Oscar friendly and like u said it will have industry support but I'm reluctant to put it as a frontrunner anywhere esp. when Mank will also probably be Oscar friendly and will get better reviews so Netflix will prioritize it. the industry also loves Fincher
