I'm not Captain Marvel's biggest fan but the VFX for SLJ is miles better than any age work in The Irishman.

I've said it in another thread and I'll say it again here. It's fishy that Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Shazam!, and Pokemon Detective Pikachu were snubbed here. Someone doesn't like Warner Bros.

It's more likely that WB missed a deadline

[RealLyre]

most of the time the best director winning movie also wins cinematography, and if 1917 is the current front-runner for that shouldn't Sam Mendes have the edge over Bong and Scorsese in director?

Ad Astra, A Hidden Life, Captain Marvel and Irishman won't compete for Score. Sad, especially for James Newton Howard

The "Elton John and Bernie Taupin have never won a songwriting award together before this year" narrative could do the job, but the Best Original Song category has produced interesting results when there's not a runaway winner in the lineup. Maybe Rise Up has a shot (Erivo EGOTs!) or it might finally be Diane Warren's year with that Breakthrough song.

 

Also, remember what a cluster the producers were making last year about skipping some nominated songs and shortening the performances, before public outcry forced their hand. And that was with real-world hits in the running, one performed by A-listers in their prime from a $200m movie and TPTB still had to be "convinced" to let them sing the full song. I'm afraid this year they will give 2 minutes to Elton, 45 seconds to Erivo and the This Is Us lady gets like three lines as part of a medley.

Right? They were probably hoping for Bey, plus Real and Fake Elton together for a moving TV moment, not as buzzworthy as last year, but things that could be sold to the masses easily enough. Now, no Beyonce, and Egerton will probably skip the ceremony like Blunt did last year after her snub. 

 

OTOH, they have Adele Dazeem, even if the song is not Let It Go, Frozen 2 is still a big hit. "Could Erivo get the EGOT tonight?" isn't a bad angle and her profile will increase from now until the Oscars. Chrissy Metz is on one of the last hit network shows, so that's something. Hopefully, no one tries to reimagine the Toy Story song as a Camila Cabello/Shawn Mendes duet.

Metz will likely get a full performance if she agrees to appear since she's rather famous in general (she also wrote a book that made the NYT best sellers list).

No Beyonce, no Taylor, no power ballad from Aladdin, no Jessie Buckley Star making performance, no Elton-Egerton duet. The best song really collapsed in a big way from the expected starpower
