so far looking like Licorice Pizza, West Side Story and Power of the Dog might dominate. Gags all but guaranteed a best actress nom I reckon, in a very competitive category this year.
 
Drive My Car (adapted from a Murakami short story) looks absolutely blinding



can't wait
 
Can a @Moderator merge, please?

 
Honestly screaming at entrepreneur, actress and hobby recording artist L. Gaga going for the Oscars again. Is there anything this bitch can’t do.
 
Licorice Pizza? I don’t remember seeing that mentioned at all in any early discussions

Interesting

Despite being sort of cancelled, the Golden Globes happened in a very low-key, non televised way last night.

Nicole Kidman's win for Being the Ricardos puts her firmly in contention for the Oscar - Kristen Stewart seems to have lost a bit of momentum since the reveal that Spencer is a big dull dud. I can't say I really get *this* being the performance to get her a second Oscar after so much incredible work since The Hours, but I'd never begrudge her for it and Hollywood loves a biopic I guess...

Being the Ricardos is so HOLLYWOOD, I'm not surprised the GGs went in for it. I don't mind Nicole getting nominated (or winning), but the film scraping a Best Picture nom will be a bit QUESTIONABLE.
 
I really don’t get the love for The Power of the Dog. It’s FINE, but nothing spectacular.

Is this Will Smith’s first actual win anywhere? He’s been front-runner in the betting odds for the Oscar for ages but I didn’t think he’d actually won anything until now. I’m all for Andrew Garfield getting it anyway.
 
I prefer Garfield too, that's shaping up to be quite an interesting head to head. If Smith wins it'll likely be a career recognition rather than for the film. Which is fine I guess, he's certainly somebody who feels like he should have an Oscar by now. (Though looking over his back catalogue, I'm not entirely sure what I'd give it to him for :D )
 
So far it looks like in the acting categories, Actress is shaping up as Kidman vs Stewart, with Olivia Colman a possible upset.

Actor is Smith vs Garfield. Supporting actress looking increasingly strong for Ariana DeBose with Kirsten Dunst her likely biggest challenger. Supporting actor Ciaran Hinds vs Kodi Smit-McPhee.
 
I think the effect of the GG is even smaller than the usual because they’ve been so shunned. No one is gonna boast or use them for promo.

I thought Will Smith was pretty good in King Richard so I wouldn’t mind him winning. Tick Tick Boom despite being my favorite, hasn’t made much of a splash but who knows.
 
I’m pleased to see that this week UK cinemas have increased screenings of West Side Story. The last week of December it looked like it was utterly on its way out with only one screening per day.

I’d love to know the politics of cinema distribution and how decisions on numbers of screenings are made.
 
I'm a broken record, but the fact that the apocalyptically bad Jared Leto performance looks increasingly likely to net him an Oscar nomination... :D

people were predicting Gaga was slipping from the race so that is a surprise.
 
I think these SAG noms feel a bit rogue though. no way Hudson or Affleck will grab Oscar noms. I don't think it means Kristen is no longer frontrunner either.
 
I can 100% see Jennifer Hudson getting in actually. The Academy LOVES these musical biopics.
 
Bardem for Being the Ricardos? :D are people just voting for this movie 'cos it's about Hollywood or what?
 
I'm a bit surprised Ruth Negga is getting the attention. she's good, maybe very good, but the character really doesn't give her that much to work with. maybe i just feel jaded about how the film ended.
