Not a legit clean sweep 

It didn’t win Actor and Stephanie and Jamie didn’t tie + lost stunts. But it got closer than anything else! 
 

edit: oh wait you’re saying it’s not a clean sweep. Nvm

Coolidge DESERVED her wins. Her performance was the most talked about all year and she did a fantastic job, plus she's an icon. Angela was robbed, however. I will say I think Best Actress win will not be as predictable this year as we thought. 

Angela has had MUCH better roles than this.

[LastKiss]

So for Oscars we got: 

 

Actor: Butler vs Fraiser 

Actress: Blanchet vs Yeoh 

SpA: Quan 

SpAs: Angela vs Condon vs Jamie

The fact that Actress, Actor and now Supporting Actress can go in different directions at the Oscars this year, bringing (for once) intrigue and excitement 

[its_britney_bitch]

I have a few bets on the Oscars now, only £20 in total so if even one of these comes in I’ll make my money back. Here’s what I’ll win for each of them

 

Michelle Yeoh - £22.50

The Fabelmans (BP) - £150
Spielberg - £34.80

Jamie Lee Curtis - £51.68

 

But that’s also mostly who I want to win so consider them all cursed

Could EEAAO get 3 acting wins at the Oscars? When was the last time it happened? Network in the 70s?

I don't think so. JLC looks like a SAG type of thing.

Supporting actor and picture seemed locked.

Michelle Yeoh winning is amazing for all the gays 

 

 

WHOEVER DESIGNED MICHELLE’S GOWN, DELETE IT FAT

Kinda surprised to see it's Schiaparelli, couture, but it's horrible, only a woman like her can make it work tho.

I am not been paying attention to other category,  who is locked for director and animated?

[Blade Runner]

LOOVEEE fighting the Blanchett stans. Michelle Yeoh will prevail and she will make history.

The Daniels (EEAAO) for Director and Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio for Animated. It would be shocking if they don't win.

Ehhh, I think that's the last thing they would take. 

 

Maybe GaGa or RiRi will pull a surprirse. 

 

[LuneMon]

Thank god a different/interesting movie is leading the race for once. I hope they sweep the Oscars too. I'm so happy for Michelle! 

[zoldyck]

I wonder if Angela and JLC will hurt each other chances, I don't find either of those roles deserving, I feel like both are being pushed by peers for their overall careers.

 

Angela having 2/3 more scenes would have sealed the deal. She also has disadvantage of being part of Marvel movie, hate towards marvel movie is also high right now.

JLC would have always been inferior performance to Hsu. 

Condon clearly had turf advantage at BAFTA with Banshees, so she isn't locked for it either.

 

Its literally any one game

If Michelle Yeoh doesn't win, I doubt another WOC will take this in the near future. I mean, what else do they need? They have the narrative, the performance, the Best Picture winner, the cultural moment. It should be her and if it doesn't happen, it'll be a bad look. 

 

Let's go! 

[period sis]

Is Mother Mitski performing at the Oscars? I know the Son Lux group will obviously be there

I don't know, I feel like if Yeoh was in race last year, it would have been sweep. Its just seem unlucky she ended up being against someone who is considered one of the all time best giving their best performance.

Nah. There's ALWAYS an excuse for women of color. We know this because just 1 of 78 winners is a non-white performer. WOC always have to overcome so much and it's embarrassing. 

 

Best Actress is the worst acting category and it needs to stop.

Hong Chau >>>> Condon

 

 

imo.

 

 

 

This I hate how Hong Chau has been ignored but I feel like she did not campaign.

 

JLC, Brendan, Jennifer and Michelle felt like veteran winners; but it was so cute to see her go up and give her speech. 
 

The way Fabelmans, Banshes and Women Talking went with zero awards.

 

Also I felt second hand embarrassment with the level of clapping/screaming from the audience, when JLC won she got the biggest noise when they announced the nominees, again with Best Actress and when they said Ana De Armas it was like one slow clap then they crazy for Michelle and Cate; also for Best Actor I felt like the 5 got a regular volume but it was Fraser.

Yup. KStew still would've been hyped up as the UnDeNiaBle performance of the decade for Spencturd

That’s just a narrative that their camp created and everyone ran away with. It was a fine performance.

 

“But she learned how to play the piano! And learned German!” Yeah and? Michelle, a 60-year-old woman, used not only her hands and face, but her entire body and every muscle fibre to give a performance worthy of all accolades. Martial arts are just as technical and impressive as learning the piano. Michelle has also been acting in two languages her entire career and managed to connect with audiences in two languages in the film, breaking down the subtitle barrier if box-office results were an indicator. Even with total body acting, and despite the film’s dynamism, Michelle‘s acting was always grounded. We were always with her.

She deserves this.
