[@dsp8363]

Duh!!! Lol

[@kimnoir]

Done. What do I do next?

[@ConMan-ye4ou]

A little bit of insight from someone who’s read both The Nickel Boys and Conclave; The grandmother character in The Nickel Boys is talked about a lot but doesn’t get many ‘scenes’. The story would have to be restructured a little bit to give her more focus, and even then I don’t know if I want to predict a win here. I feel like she has a decent shot of getting nominated IF they expand her role. But at this time I’m not going to have her at #1. Isabella Rossellini plays Sister Agnes in Conclave, and I cannot overstate how small of a role this is in the book. She only has a few scenes and they don’t leave that great an impact on the story. Since the book centers around the cardinals trying to select the new Pope, it is obviously a very male-dominated ensemble, and nearly all of the men have showier roles than Rossellini. This role would have to be SIGNIFICANTLY expanded for Rossellini to be in the conversation at all. I don’t wish to upset anyone. If you want to read these books to judge for yourselves, by all means go ahead. But in my opinion, you could do a decently-sized summary of both books without mentioning either character.

[@Thecoolestpersonudontknow]

Frick yes I needed an Oscar Expert video today. Appreciate you guys 🫡🫶

[@purekinema]

Gladiator 2 is definitely going to be a bigger contender than Furiosa. Napoleon is its floor.

Samuel L Jackson is long overdue for OSCAR !!!!!!

[@pb.j.1753]

Can we talk about the year when 19-year old Scarlet Johansson won BAFTA Best Actress for Lost in Translation while also being nominated for Girl with Pearl Earring and didn’t get any noms at the Oscars

[@reallygoodname]

Here being described as 'Boomer Boyhood' is why I love watching The Oscar Expert. As for Zemeckis, all I can think of him nowadays is that one scene of I'm Thinking of Ending This.

[@encheknizam]

Danielle Deadwyler was robbed for Till.

[@poett8875]

She definitely was. I really don’t see a reason why she wasn’t a shoe in for a nomination. She played a real life figure, the movie was well received, and she was the most raved about part of it. They really dropped the ball with Lead Actress that year. For me it should’ve been Blanchett, Yeoh, Deadwyler, Davis, and Robbie.

[@encheknizam]

@@poett8875 I agree!!!!

[@Cinemahguy]

I agree.

[@FrakkinToasterLuvva]

@@poett8875 Mia Goth in Pearl gave the best performance other than Deadwyler. But they were never going to nominate her, because the Academy hates the horror genre.

[@encheknizam]

@@FrakkinToasterLuvva but they nominated Get Out.

[@axr7149]

Something tells me we need to keep an eye on Denzel Washington for GLADIATOR 2. He could be a major contender. If he gets nominated, he will tie as the second most nominated male actor ever (he will tie Sir Laurence Olivier), putting him behind only 12-time nominee Jack Nicholson.

[@darrensmith4932]

And only the 6th actor to reach double nominations figures if/when it happens . Over 800 actors nominated since Oscar began. It’s the most exclusive of clubs

[@BenPaz]

The Collaboration at 5 in supporting actor seems nuts that play flopped at the Tonys

[@Lamidemonami7891]

The way they continue to stick with that movie is absolutely baffling. Not an Oscar contender whatsoever

[@donaldleevy7498]

I wasn't wowed by the trailer for Here. It seems more of an experiment than an actual emotional film.

[@MarkJohnSmith-p4r]

Kathy Burke is a legend in UK, she won Best Actress at Cannes many years ago, looking forward to seeing her in Blitz

[@alifpr]

Thanks for this guys. Best way to end a Sunday!

[@TheHannahcast]

Zoe Saldana has been confirmed to be being campaigned in Lead Actress and Netflix is still figuring out where to put Carla Sofia Gascon.

[@Sharpe1502]

I thought that’d happen. She’s been around for a long time. I’m predicting Gascon runs as supporting.

[@alejandromangieri1495]

what’s your source for this

[@dahomey2001]

Karla’s narrative loses steam if going Supporting (specially given she’s the title character, most won’t buy it and it could be considered category fraud from the get go). Just imagine giving the first Oscar to a transgender person, in Supporting, for a Leading role that actually names the film. Message would be crystal clear, and not nice.

[@caique6413]

thats not true. awards watch confirmed that they talked to a direct source and they said that karla is going for lead and the others for supporting

[@jramz5176]

The Apprentice got a distributor (not a very well known one) they bought out someone who probably had veto power. They clearly had a legal team go through the film and script and okayed everything so I really don’t see any reason to think this won’t come out this year

[@FrakkinToasterLuvva]

The deal is not officially done yet, but it's been reported by Washington Post and Deadline that it's almost done. And it's Briarcliff, whose CEO is Tom Ortenberg, who previously ran Open Road Filns abd distributed films like Spotlight (Best Picture winner) and Nightcrawler. Before that, he was President of Theatrical Films of Lionsgate Films, and distributed Fahrenheit 9/11 (Best Documentary Feature winner) among others. The article also says: "...according to a person close to the production who spoke on the condition of anonymity because negotiations are ongoing, Ari Emanuel, the head of WME, which represents Strong, reached out to Snyder directly to ask him to approve the Briarcliff deal. (Strong’s performance was widely praised at Cannes as a possible Oscars contender.)" so you know they're sure as hell intending to mount an Oscar campaign for him.

[@MrGMovieReviews]

Joan Chen deserves a nom at this point in the year.

[@LittleOscarFreak]

Guys, I've read Conclave, and the Rossellini role is juicy as fuckkk!!! She's getting in!

[@HarryFrisch-t4y]

The complete juxtaposition with the comment just above talking about how she doesn’t is funny so I guess we’ll have to see

[@martin3980]

Austin butler?

[@poihpioakarp8845]

@@martin3980 feels like the likelier of the Dune Boys to me. Brought a lot of menace and gravitas we didn't see from him before while also giving a tasteful enough Skarsgaard imitation to essentially create a Harkkonen accent. Bardem was a fun comedic character but we've seen him do greater things. As to performances from other movies, most of them haven't been released yet so for the time being I'm stil apprehensive about a lot of them.

[@martin3980]

@@poihpioakarp8845 I don’t think Dune will receive any acting nods.

[@maxwellpiercy680]

I don’t know. I get this weird feeling that Samuel L. Jackson will be like this years Bradley Cooper. Everyone thinks he’s gonna win because he’s overdue and giving an Oscar like performance only for it to come out not resonate with voters

[@SenatorLeiaOrganaSolo]

Might be the year of the tv star

[@perryjones7771]

I’m rooting for Natasha. She’s respected enough to win on her first nomination. Following the footsteps of Cloris Leachmen and Allison Janney.

[@Sharpe1502]

If Nosferatu does well at the box office and does well in techs like production design, makeup, cinematography, and costumes, nobody thinks that Willem Dafoe has a chance of getting nominated? Especially considering that it looks like Eggers is deviating from the previous two movies and making the character more book accurate, where the character has a way bigger role in the story?

[@ClassicalMusic2002]

If he couldn’t get in for The Lighthouse, he’s not getting in for Nosferatu

[@alisdairmckenzie]

I watched The Bikeriders last night and was blown away, as usual, by Jodie Comer - supporting actress nomination for her.

[@charliewolf4411]

I have to argue against the Drew Starkey Dom sessa allegations. Drew Starkey HAS actually been in stuff, hes not a newcomer. Hasn't been in things people have seen? Maybe not, but Dom Sessa was a newcomer at what 20? Drew Starkey is 30! Not the same! Also ive seen one thing hes been in and he likes to do the outburst mentally unstable thing so theres probably a juicy performance there

[@ReadingMartin]

I've read the book Queer. There's only two female characters. One is the friend of Starkey's character who is around his age so probably not Manville and the other appears near the end of the book in one scene... so, unless they did some major changes, I really don't know who she could be.

[@kioevy1975]

letterboxd says she plays alice cochan? I'm pretty sure the character never even appears in the book and just mentioned once. but anyway, no matter how they expand her role, none of the side characters are important to the story

[@miguellozano28]

I think the way Netflix will go with Emilia Pérez so all three women get a nomination is Karla Sofía Gascón for Best Actress, Zoe Saldaña for Supporting Actress and Selena Gomez for Best Song (Very likely winner too).

[@JKReAl]

@@miguellozano28 dude you’re a delusional selenator, saca la cabeza de tu trasero y edúcate, French singer Camille wrote all of the original songs, with the assistance of a Mexican translator, Selena didn’t write a thing, for her to be considered she needs to be the writer, she’s not, so she won’t be a nominee for best song and totally NOT likely a winner hahaha), by the way she has a terrible accent in the film, nowhere near to be be considered as a likely nominee for acting.

[@tacoreibrown6560]

do yall is there any chance for mr.Nichols Cage to secure a supporting nod for Longlegs for his performance??

[@Sharpe1502]

I’ve been thinking this also! I think Cage would need to be super popular with Critics awards and sweep the indie spirit and Gotham awards like Paul Mescal and the Everything Everywhere people did. I think Oz Perkins would also need to be campaigning heavily too.

I'd agree with Nathaniel Rogers that Maria Bakalova has the most likely narrative for a win (type of role, exposure, and maybe some regret for not giving it to her for Borat, an immediate "all time" comedic performance). As weeks will go by ,when the film release, a lot of ink is going to be around her role, and the (spoiler) rape scene, and the fact that Bakalova would be a "two-time-offender" to Trump's campaigning. Right after her, Deadwyler after her must-talked snub for Till. And right after them, Saldaña may play the industry card as she has starred in the top 3 b.o. hits ever... and worked with so many peers. I'd add Moore and the 5th slot, I wouldn't dare to name anyone

[@pb.j.1753]

Watch the film first. It’s not an outstanding performance in any way and the whole movie might not be a real awards contender at all.
