‘Awards Magnet’: Analyzing the 2025 BAFTA Awards nominations

[@kethkirk7470]

I had no idea Jamie Lee Curtis won a BAFTA for Trading Places. Cool.

[@JoshFriedman786]

Yeah and a better performance with more depth than the one she won the Oscar for.

[@KaiOpaka]

​@JoshFriedman786 Irrelevant. We're not comparing past roles to decide whether you deserve it this time. Besides, as Katharine Hepburn said, they always give you the award for the wrong part. I'd argue with her over The Lion in Winter, but I get her point.

[@indiefilmmillennial8338]

She has some memorable scenes in Trading Places.

[@JoshFriedman786]

​@@indiefilmmillennial8338 Yeah even way more memorable than EEAAO.

[@JoshFriedman786]

Chris, Sing Sing was definitely never a SAG movie because it's just a small film with a bunch real life prison convicts playing themselves, it's kinda like Nomadland. I don't why you both still think it is.

[@friendlypup5650]

WGA just came in. Expecting pga to jump in soon

The Substance can’t get the Sound nomination at the Oscars since it wasn’t on the shortlist

[@DavidPence-lr4kj]

Ppl keep saying someone is missing from the Cynthia, Demi, Karla, Mikey group Oscar Nom day, but I don’t think so. Not every year an actress is going to miss after hitting all the precursors just because it’s happened the last 3 years. I’d love to see Karla miss if there is going to be one from that group, but I think all 4 are safe and we just have MJB, Torres, Jolie, Kidman, Ronan battling it out for 5th. I’m sorry, I just can’t see Pamela Anderson, but welcome to the awards circuit girl

[@DavidPence-lr4kj]

Jeremy MF Strong 💪🏆 Next Stop: Oscar Nomination!

[@arthurvalladares5451]

I think Torres can get a lot of #1 votes with strong South American/international support, she would be my #5.

[@ssshar2176]

Thank god a video! The trump cabinet hearings are traumatizing me.

[@robertsaner8766]

Nosferatu seems extremely strong below the line with 5 bafta noms could it get the number 10 slot best picture slot at rhe oscars sort of like nightmare alley did?

[@JoshFriedman786]

Yeah that could happen and it's a huge box office success so it could make PGA and many filmmakers have praised it including Sean Baker so it might have the edge over The Substance.

[@myytchanneldinakoha8498]

No.

[@oldschoolabrahamhicks2742]

Yay ❤

[@ryyaannn_]

this isn’t directed towards you two at all, but i was just thinking. i find it weird how when wicked came out, everyone was screaming “recency bias” and claimed it was only in the conversation because it just came out, but now that a complete unknown is gaining momentum, people haven’t said anything similar. i think a lot of people just genuinely don’t like “feminine” type movies and severely underestimate them at every turn just because

[@crystall.411]

I agree but I will only say that that award voters also have a musical biopic bias so it is not just recency

[@ktom5262]

Joyce is dressed like these zebras behind Christopher.

[@JoshFriedman786]

Oh my God, you're right. Probably unintentional but a great happy accident. LOL 😂

[@DavidPence-lr4kj]

Having Emilia Perez in the top 5 for film over Dune 2 and The Substance is certainly a choice 🤢🤮 JLC coming to snatch wigs Oscar Morning

[@ktom5262]

Emilia Perez is a better movie than Dune 2.

[@DavidPence-lr4kj]

It’s fun to pretend

[@JoshFriedman786]

​@@DavidPence-lr4kj The Substance is not that great of a movie either. I honestly don't know what people are overrating it as if it's better than Get Out or Us.

[@areusirius2054]

@@ktom5262 what the fuck are you smoking

[@hugolewis4896]

No one is bashing you guys for not being gung ho on the substance. No need to mention it every time you mention the movie.

[@ryyaannn_]

i feel like if you’re not them you really can’t say no one is bashing them lmao

[@JoshFriedman786]

The Substance missed for Best Film so it's not as strong as the fans think it is.

[@DaveNetWorld]

Thoughts on Supporting Actress. I can actually see more passion toward Jamie Lee Curtis & Monica Barbaro. They both made SAG, obviously the stronger acting guild over the BAFTA's. I can see a world where they both make it in with Saldana & Grande. The 5th slot then in my mind would come down to Isabella Rossellini or Felicity Jones one of the BAFTA nominees. I think I would go with Isabella Rossellini because The Brutalist is comparatively weaker with SAG because Guy Pearce missed and it missed Ensemble.

[@JoshFriedman786]

Yeah but Felicity Jones has the edge because it's a stronger and bigger role and she's a former nominee.

[@DaveNetWorld]

@@JoshFriedman786 Yeah but Isabella Rossellini is a legacy nomination, and she's never been nominated before. I get vibes with that performance on par with Judi Dench in Belfast.

[@khorkina2010]

Emilia Perez is a horrible movie. Why all the noms?

[@JoshFriedman786]

Because the industry thinks the film is groundbreaking when in reality the film is very retrograde and really offensive.

[@ktom5262]

No, it isn't.

[@DavidPence-lr4kj]

Yes it is. The film is TRASH, top to bottom. Its only winning Supporting Actress, Song (🤢🤮) and International Film 🤢🤮

[@ktom5262]

@DavidPence-lr4kj No, it isn't. Your taste in movies and overall in art is trash.

[@xoxo20000]

Because Hollywood likes out of touch trash

[@stephaniemoore9122]

Denzel Washington was not his best performance the movie sucked he was ok not a great role stop the Denzel it’s boring already he will get it in his next performance

[@KaiOpaka]

Denzel did a great job, and the movie did not suck. Your punctuation however...

[@JoshFriedman786]

​@@KaiOpaka Sorry but it did suck, I know you'd like to believe it didn't but Gladiator II almost ruined my love for the first one and most people share that feeling.
