the nicest thing i can say about rami malek's BoRap performance is that he's a great lip sync-er. what a good lip sync battles (is that show still on?) audition that movie was for him.

I think Washington or Eastwood probably gets in over Gosling or Male

Klansman feels like it's gotten weaker since release in terms of its awards prospects (tho also kind of in quality imo). I would be pretty surprised if Washington managed to sneak in when the critics won't be there for him.

 

Eastwood will probably knock Gosling out as long as it's a noteworthy performance. The Mule will be a late screener and doesn't have the MUST SEE factor a late release like Vice has.

Netflix nicked the Beeb's greatest commodity.

ethan hawke in first reformed is still the performance of the year in best actor at least. i think you'll see a lot of the substantial critics awards go to him. definitely in the running.

Nah, A24 isn't campaigning any of their films this cycle. Nothing is getting screeners sent out or screenings scheduled. If any of their movies is nominated, it'll be Eighth Grade or Mid90s in Screenplay, and that's still an uphill battle without screeners. The WGA nominations will be pretty telling because Roma and The Favourite are ineligible.

 

Edit: Granted, the screeners/screening thing could change, but they should've been out by now to get buzz going. Nobody is going to dig it out in December's flurry.

I've come to accept that the words "Florida" and "recount" go naturally hand in hand.

Im gonna try and start using this site less. I want to cut off (or at least limit) my nerdom. I’ve already stopped visiting some of my nerdy news sites, and unsubscribed from my most of my movie news related YouTube channels. It’s just a bit too much. Seeing grown men passionately complain about She-Ra (a Netflix cartoon for little girls) in my YouTube recommendations was the straw that broke this camels back.

 

I’m tired of the comic book movie cycle and debate. Honestly I’m starting to think all these big budget “fan” event movies have started to erode the culture. Watching grown adults angrily vent their political frustrations and insecurities through poorly thought out critiques of media intended for children, and seeing people just acting like it’s normal is mind blowing and I’m sick of it.

 

This place is a pretty great and fun community though. I just don’t want to know or hear about how Star Wars is now “sjw propaganda” and nonsense like that. Even in nice online communities there’s always discussion on the nonsense and for me now that’s too much.

 

I’ll pop in to give opinions on some movies I feel like discussing, as well as see opinions from some other members, but aside from that I’m gonna try and be gone.

Agreed. It's a tough performance (and tough movie) to forget, so I think critics will go to bat for him.
