Dumb move by AACTA. Margot has so much momentum for her next worthy performance and they waste a win on her now?

this is her 3rd win.

Well a fellow Aussie might also be a frontrunner then for instance 

[fridayteenage]

in all likelihood, next month it will remain true that 5 of the last 10 supporting actress winners are woc.

 

australia in the last 10 years had 5 woc nominees in supporting (10%). not the same 5 either.

davis, harris, blige, hsu, randolph

while King/Youn/Debose were snubbed.

And those winners are proof as to why AACTA will never be a main precursor

I think they’re one of the few groups with Academy overlap though, however small. So they kind of are 

[Donquizote]

Weird that Giamatti not nominated for AACTA this year.

Usually winner for Best Actor at Oscar is nominated for AACTA. 

[WildAmerican]

Interesting video! I like the legacy award idea, really speaks to the fact that the Oscars are a snapshot in time, and a legacy award could award something that's stood the test of time

Not that it matters but Society of the Snow receiving 12 Goya Awards. At least it is loved at its home. 

[Price of Fame]

Please stop taking AACTA that seriously

 

At best it is a very minor indicator of what BAFTA might look like (and even this year obviously not with them going so hard for local Robbie’s movie)

And that 100% WTF win for Vanessa Kirby in supporting actress for the awful Napoleon too

I'm thinking Giamatti is not locked for Oscar.

Cillian can sneak and that that trophy from him.

Does anyone think that? It's a really tight race between him and Cillian

After Critics Choice, many Gold Derby members have declared Giamatti as lock. 

But it's weird that he wasnt nominated for AACTA. All Best Actor winners in the past have been nominated for AACTA.

Was it eligible there? They got it relatively late (Jan 11)

Randolph was nominated for AACTA though, so it must be eligible.

I think I disagreed with almost every suggestion aside from the stunt category and campaign finance reform. There’s no way a legacy award would satisfy anyone, and he says they shouldn’t show clips of past movies, yet wants an entire new award for a ten year old movie? It just seems like it’ll make AMPAS okay with rewarding safe options for BP in the present if they can award other movies in ten years. 

[Liafen]

The campaign finance reform is actually the dumbest one. I mean, I get the underlying idea behind it, but there's no way to regulate it when most studios just would say that it is a general marketing spend for the movie, not for awards season. And famous people needing to "register" their parties over 25 invitees? Be for real.

Bafta next week. 

I need them to shake up the award season Give unexpected win please. 

[truthteller]

Finally watched two more Best Picture nominees...

 

The Zone of Interest - very stylistic, very haunting, and disgusting I may say.... the camera movement (or the lack of), the sound effect, the parallel events happening in the background, and the absurdity of the family, especially the wife and the kids... even though I feel like it is more of an artsy farsty stylistic concept more than a compelling storyline considering it being a 90+ mins feature film... the present day shots are very genius.. tho i think it may be better as a short film instead 

 

American Fiction - it's a cute movie with a bit pacing issue in the middle... glad with the little LGBTQ+ element in the plot for representation. Anyways, it feels like a lot of "been there done there" satire / dark comedy concepts in the past few years that did not shine the light as bright as its predecessors, say the horror staple "Get Out" or the online film circle's darling "Sorry To Bother You".
