Also can someone explain to me why Rebecca Ferguson wasnt nominated for Best Supporting Acctress for Dune? She was so good.

TO YOU.

 

That's why I typed it out.  To me she looks like a tramp.  Wasn't speaking for you.  😉

If Timothee can't get any respect, nobody should get it 😠

I can't wait to see the spin tomorrow when this inevitably doesn't see the 40 million viewers they are clearly hoping to see again.

That is literally impossible. They haven't seen that since 2014. I think they will be happy with anything over 20 million tbh.

Tell that to Will Packer and the other producers lol. Everything that's been announced about the telecast screams "desperation."

Seems like I'm watching RRR at a later screening tonight so I guess I can actually watch most of this tonight. Will be missing the last hour or so though.

He shoud have been nominated as well. He plays a really unforgiving role (since Dunes Protagonist by design doesnt show many emotions) and yet still always feels natural.

Tammy Faye won Makeup? I think that solidifies Chastain as the likely winner in Actress.

absurd win btw. they made jessica chastain look like the radiator woman from eraserhead.

I fix my post to say 2014. Still impossible anyway but the last time was not 2011.

 

2020 was 26 million. 2021 was 10 million. I am not even sure if jumping 100% is possible. I am expecting 15 million max.

Under 10 this year. Under 6 million by 2025 and on a streaming service by 2030.

As someone mentioned, most of the below the line categories are awarded to "Most" instead of "Best". Always go with Most Costumes and Most Makeup to win.

 

Only recent makeup winner to go to Best over Most was probably when Suicide Squad beat Star Trek Beyond.

Didn't like the movie but I thought they did a good job with the makeup tbh, they made me believe Jessica was Tammy Faye. For anyone who was alive in America in the 80s, few people were as easy of a punchline as she was between her Joker-like appearance and the fact said makeup would often end up running down her face due to her weepy on-camera behavior.

I'm so ready for the utter messiness of this year's show. At this point, I'll honestly be disappointed if it's not a trainwreck.

And in the year after his breakthrough nomination for Sound of Metal, no less. Way to go, guys!
