2020 Awards Season • Page 16

Way too early for predictions, none of the Guilds have handed out awards yet lol

 

when has that ever stopped anyone

 

Aside from Animated Short, Live Action Short, Doc Short, and Doc Feature which I haven't seen enough to make a fair guess (though I'm planning on it), here's what I want vs. what will win. Might switch this up after the Guild votes, but this is what I'm thinking I'm doing for all those Guess the Oscars contests.

mine obviously weren't my preferred picks. quite the opposite

 

You're good, I did mine differently haha

 

Without seeing Parasite, I highly doubt a foreign language movie winning BP... Roma’s Best Director win last year was its consolation prize

 

parasite has a lot more going for it, or maybe conversely, less against it than Roma though

 

I saw a tweet the other day that was along the lines of Parasite having virtually no widespread complaints about it/doesn't have separate camps of people that dislike it for some reason. If I find it I'll link it, but I think that's a reason it has a good shot - I feel like there's absolutely zero negativity towards it.

 

it also will benefit from traditional theatrical release. i feel like half the critique about roma was about the netflix model. which was incredibly dumb, but still.

 

I just got scared that someday Zach Braff will make Florence Pugh act in something he makes

 

Surprised so many people think OUATIH has a shot to win. I think it’s in the bottom half if I had to rank them from most-to-least likely to win right now.

 

this is insane

 

Documentary Feature update:

American Factory and The Edge of Democracy are both streaming on Netflix
Honeyland is streaming on Hulu.
For Sama is streaming on PBS' Frontline website.
The Cave is in select theaters right now, but is going to be available to rent on
Amazon on January 14.

 

a cursed post

 

that's wild. i definitely thought he was nominated for the post. glad that's not the case tbh.

 

I think we're safe


what am I saying he's white he can still get projects

 

Hanks deserved a nom for Bridge of Spies! And Catch Me if You Can

 

Hanks is a great actor, but yeah, he doesn't always pick great projects (The Ladykillers, Cloud Atlas, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, The Polar Express, Larry Crowne, The Da Vinci Code/Angels & Demons).

I really like him a lot in Catch Me If You Can and Sully though, and I'm psyched he got nominated for this.

 

I did not realize Honeyland was a documentary until after I saw it.

 

I thought he deserved a nod for Bridge of Spies, personally. He was great in that and it was a great movie in general.

 

The last five minutes of Capt. Philips deserved Hanks an acting nom

 

Was about to say that.

 

He got the “Old Man Hangover” movie no one saw!

 

I was all ready to call that a flop but it somehow made $85 million lol

 

Goddammit. After I typed that, I thought “This probably actually made money.”
