2020 Awards Season • Page 2

Omg

 

Shameless plug since I'm a part of it, but I feel like the Critic's Choice Awards has much better nominees (minus "Joker). Golden Globes have always been a joke of an awards show for the Foreign Press to rub elbows with stars.

Critics' Choice Awards: 'The Irishman' Leads With 14 Nominations

 

Disney not wanting to acknowledge TLK getting an Animated Feature nom is funny, but also they aren’t promoting that JoJo picked up noms while promoting FvF which seems odd

 

Just a reminder the Hollywood Foreign Press is comprised of roughly 95 voting members a year meanwhile the Academy is around 3-4 thousand

 

The Academy Awards makes a lot of the same dumb choices, though.

 

They make very slightly different dumb choices

 

It’s still mind boggling Moonlight wins one year and then Green Book two years later

 

all I know about the Hollywood Foreign Press is that they wouldn't let Jenna Maroney blackmail them

 

They also ignored Brendan Fraser’s allegation that he was sexually harassed

 

the globes have always and will always suck ass

 

But are also my favorite awards show to watch? At least when Ricky isn’t there.

 

nothing but respect for my awards show

 

I always look forward to David Ehrlich's video. Look forward to watching that soon.

 

I look forward to a year where Lupita Nyong’o joins Toni Collette in the growing list of astonishingly good performances that are completely ignored during awards season because they’re in horror movies. Yay.

 

Ehhh. I think Lupita is more in play this year than Toni was last year.

 

I mean unless Todd Phillips wins best director I don’t see the Oscars going much worse than last year. I think BP is Irishman-UOATIH-Marriage Story

 

I also don’t see him getting in there, especially after this Golden Globes fiasco. Right now I would guess:
Baumbach
Gerwig
Scorsese
Bong
Tarantino

 

I think Gerwig, Scorsese, and QT are locks for the Oscar. Bong is definitely a strong possibility considering they're more recently open to nominating directors of foreign language films for Best Director (and giving it to them, in last year's case). Baumbach is also a strong possibility but I think that slot could go to a few different other people as well.

 

Knowing with how they’ve gone recently, I would put Mendes as more of a long shot than Marielle Heller at this point, tbh.

 

I think Mendes has just as much of a shot as Baumbach, honestly even more so just because of how flashy 1917 looks like it is.

 

SAG Award Nominations: The Complete List

 

Wow, Marriage Story with three individual acting noms but no cast nomination

Also I still like to see The Act get continued recognition

 

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the actors are supporting Bombshell but that's quite a lot more support than I was expecting it to get.
