This is definitely controversial but I wasn’t crazy about Hsu’s performance. Yeoh & Quan were the superstars. JLC was underutilized, but good.

What does this even mean

ooP @ Cate's Trifecta sweep. Last time she won she bagged her (2nd) Oscar

she's unstoppable, i fear

 

 

[Alyssa Edwards]

BAFTA said NO to the troll nominations that "RRR" is getting in weirdo america

[family.guy123]

Still not over the James Corden snub for The Prom. Somehow the Golden Globes were the only ones with some sense that year

I really don't understand the fuss about this film, what's different whatsoever? 

[hausofdave]

hilariously enough critics have been trying to push RRR despite the fact India said NO! to the int. selection, yet All Quiet comes out of the blue and starts dominating, over performing w the industry shortlists whereas the former is likely to squeeze in only a BOS nod

[Komet]

Watched All Quiet the other day and jesus what a movie. Idk if any other 'war is hell' movie hit me as hard as this one did, glad it seems like it's getting love. 

[DanyelP23]

I need Oscars to serve some taste and give Tang Wei a surprise ***** nomination

[period sis]

Nattu Nattu should still win BOS though. The absolute BAWP!

[Kylizzle]

TAR  

[Donquizote]

Cate sweeping me thinks

[fridayteenage]

surprise acting nominees tend to be coattails. last 10 years, oscar nominated performances in movies with no major noms from globes or bfca:

21 penelope cruz, parallel mothers. la/nsfc winner

 

14 bradley cooper, american sniper. released last minute, a movie which made hundreds of millions of dollars without being a franchise movie, while being an Important Eastwood War Biopic

(top 100 films in the US, live-action non-franchise: Titanic, ET, American Sniper, Forrest Gump).

Don’t think there’s any way Cate loses the Oscar

[hausofdave]

Actress & Supp Actor seems locked up w an indefinite sweep from Blanchett & Quan especially w the latter starting next week w GGs

 

ironically Actor & Supp Actress is still are up in the air

[Donquizote]

It's over for Yeoh. 

Cate is sweeping everything

 

[Dr. Alexander]

Can we expect a nomination for Angela Bassett at the Academy Awards?
 

She’s well overdue for the trophy and I am legitimately surprised that her team is not campaigning a ‘thank you for your devotion to Hollywood’ win, in the same vein that Laura Dern did.

[kandicha]

I don't think Best Actress is locked. I see Blanchett and Yeoh both winning Golden Globes, Yeoh winning SAG and Blanchett winning BAFTA leaving the race a nail-biter until the end. That said, if Blanchett wins SAG or Yeoh wins BAFTA, it's over.

Best Supporting Actress is so up in the air but I feel good about Bassett's chances after getting the Golden Globe nod and the BAFTA long list. 

[EnigmaticAndroid]

While Cate is definitely the frontrunner, I'd still say that Yeoh has a chance given just how strong EEAAO is. There's a solid chance she'd come along if it wins Picture. Imo, Supporting Actor is the only locked acting category.

[zoldyck]

I love Cate, but hoping for Yeoh to pull through.

 

Cate will have multiple chances to win her third, but this is once a lifetime opportunity for Yeoh 

[fridayteenage]

if queen yeoh loses, this is basically ampas's message to non-white lead actresses:

[Alyssa Edwards]

Eh, Michelle losing is fine by me.

Viola losing for Ma Rainey now THAT was a real travesty. If only the movie was good

[hausofdave]

if EEAAO wins PGA, then its undeniable for Picture, rn its film twitter & critics dream

[Donquizote]

Cate gives the best performance this year in Tar. I will not be mad if she won. At the end of the day, AMPAS are going to vote for the best performance
