I think my actual no guts no glory prediction might be Tom Hanks missing it instead of Hopkins - really seems like a lack of momentum, but I said the same thing about Duvall in 2014 and he kept showing up everywhere too. Just Mercy seemed to get a blast of positive buzz justttt before nominations ended so I'm very tempted to put Foxx in there tbh.

Honestly feel like JLo is a bit more vulnerable than originally anticipated too. Not just because of the BAFTA snub, but also because she's the only shot her movie has at a nomination, and lone nominees do tend to fall through the cracks in the end (see: Timothee Chalamet last year, Hong Chau the year before, Daniel Bruhl, etc.).

I kick Ford v Ferrari out due to the lack of presence in main category such as screenplay and acting. And i decided to keep the farewell back hoping some "Amour" kind of overperforming

this list would be ideal but the Academy loves Scorsese too much to snub him.

NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED:

 

Jojo Rabbit

Little Women

Parasite

Joker

The Irishman

Ford V Ferrari

Marriage Story

1917

Once Upon A Time.....In Hollywood

 

---------------

 

 

 

It was weird watching the nominations, because while I was anticipating Joker to frustrate me...while I do personally think the movie has been deeply overrated I get the impression that the enthusiasm for it is legitimately genuine and appreciative, while as the nominations unfolded I found my frustration at The Irishman and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood got greater and greater as it became clear that any doubt would always be defaulted back to them. They just seem like reflex, kneejerk nominations to the default established auteurs. 

 

It emphasises that for all the conversation about nominations being racist/sexist, it still comes down far more to laziness.

 

At least the Animated Feature category gave something to be appreciative of.

I have actually been suspecting Oscar made a mistake on vote count for best director category.

 

It is the year when steven soderbergh nominated for both Traffic & Erin in the same year. Ang lee won GG, DGA, BAFTA and independent spirit for best director but somehow lose to Steven in the Oscar, who so happened got nominated for his both movies.

 

I have been thinking the accountant sum up the vote for steven without knowing that was actually for two different movies. 

     

 

There wasn't a mistake.

 

No one voted for Erin. It was just a proof Soderberg was so strongly considered that year. Also, Traffic peaked at the perfect time to score that Directing Oscar. By that time, many Academy members wanted to reward his strong year, and Best Director was the best place to do so. Ang Lee had Foreign secured, so Oscar for him to please everyone.

 

Parasite also has Foreign in the bag, so the question is: Will Academy members feel like that's enough and reward another showy directing effort instead? I can see two names with strong chances.

Mendes' peaking at the right time. BO helps. 1917 is showy, and it's a genre so popular with Oscars.

Tarantino has the overdue factor. Never won a Director Oscar despite so many buzzy films.

Well, I guess it's pretty much a lock for 1917 now. If Parasite isn't winning, I'm guessing we'll never see a foreign film win Best Picture.

Parasite has a pathway for best picture because of the screenplay win, so it still can pull a Spotlight/Moonlight with only a screenplay win. 

 

but it's chances are not very likely since we don't know how it would do under a preferential ballot (like when 1917 won the PGA, we don't really know what was 2nd or 3rd, it could be Jojo lol).

If Parasite wasn't in the best foreign language category, that will boost it chance in ultimate BP.

 

The idea of they can reward the film in best international film category is really happening i guess
