CoolioD1 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 if leave no trace had a better studio pick it up it'd be a shoo-in for a best picture nod. especially since i can guarantee you there's gonna be grousing next month about how all the best pic nominees are directed by men. already happened for the Globes. ah well, at best i can hope it sneaks into screenplay or smthing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can You Ever Forgive Me is also directed by a lady but it bombed. Lady Bird had a good boxoffice run so they couldn't ignore it/forget about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything her narrative is similar to Janney’s last year: character actress who has been around forever and is clearly beloved in the industry (look at all the Emmys she’s won) swooping in with the perfect opportunity to add Oscar to her mantle. Adams can wait a little while longer, for a film that should at least be less divisive than Vice sounds like it’ll be based on early reactions.

SLAM! Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) LAFCAs: Roma won Best Picture. Burning and Shoplifters tied for Best Foreign Feature. Chloe Zhao (The Rider) won the new generation award. It wasn't posted, so I'll post it now: the Documentary winner was Shirkers (though the director was the wife of John Powers, a member of the LAFCA, so things may be a bit sketchy). Minding The Gap was the runner-up, and it also won for editing, beating Roma in the category. Edited December 9, 2018 by Slambros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valonqar Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) King is gonna win Supporting, that much is obvious. Amy deserve Best Actress cause she's a real leading lady. Supporting is for character actors but only a consolation for leading men and ladies. It wouldn't feel right. I wanted Leo to win but not a consolation cause he's such a leading man. I m glad he won for a huge boxoffice hit though my preference among his hits would be WOWS. Edited December 9, 2018 by Valonqar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, I'm just excited for Vice and want Amy to finally win. She probably isn't winning for Woman in the Window next year, so I just hope she wins before her nomination count hits double digits.

Valonqar Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Could someone please explain SAG-AFRA to me? Does the change make less of an overlap with AMPAS than before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Amy somehow missed a nomination for her masterful work in Arrival so her losing for a supposedly “lesser” performance wouldn’t be the end of the world. Luckily she’ll continue getting good roles/lead roles for the foreseeable future so her time will come. Eventually. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 yeah, she'll get it eventually. she stays working with acclaimed auteur types these days which is smart. hopefully she won't end up like glenn close. GC's in contention this year for a movie i'm like 80% sure doesn't actually exist. she just photoshopped a poster together and people are nominating her for what they assume is a real movie. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually saw The Wife (mostly because my mom wanted to see it and I’m a good son so I took her). Movie is only good but not great (it only touches the surface of digging into the fascinating topics it’s trying to address) but it sure is one hell of an acting showcase for Close and Jonathan Pryce (who is every bit her equal but she gets the juicier part so it’s understandable why she’s gotten all the buzz for the film). It’s the kind of movie where the acting leaves a stronger impression than the rest of the film.
