Re: Post-Festival Predictions

According to Variety , Lily Gladstone is campaigning for Lead Actress. This makes Best Actress all the more crowded with Stone, Mulligan, Bening, Huller, Robbie, Lee, Spaeny, Portman, and yet-to-be-seen Barrino in the conversation already. Should the Academy vote for her in Lead, Gladstone will be ...

Re: Oscar Nominations

That was her motivation. Based on her interview with the New York Times , it doesn't really sound like Michelle Williams put much thought into the decision in the first place: " Many pundits thought you were a lock to win the supporting-actress Oscar for this role, but instead, you chose to be...

Re: Chicago Film Critics Association Nominations

Initial thoughts: Best Actress is the biggest surprise. I expected Danielle Deadwyler to have a much stronger showing with the critics groups than she has up to this point. On the flip side, Ana de Armas is having an unexpectedly good day. I think there's a strong chance their Best Actor lineup carr...

Re: Determining Oscar Eligibility

I recently discovered the website, And The Oscar Goes To... , and its database of Academy reminder lists of eligible releases from 1927/28 to present day: https://www.atogt.com/askoscar/display-reminder-list-text.php?yr=1&origin=list-text Whoever is behind the website seems to have reviewed and ...

Re: Too Old or Too Familiar?

A few more I'd add to the list: 1. Annette Bening - After nominations for The Grifters , American Beauty , Being Julia , and The Kids Are Alright , she's been surprisingly passed over by the Academy several times in the last 15 years despite critical buzz and recognition from other awards bodies: Ru...

Re: Campaign 2020

This tells me Stacey Abrams probably has a better chance of being Joe Biden's running mate than we think. And to be honest, that really concerns me. I'm curious, why concern? Strategically, given the turnout Abrams generated during her race for Governor, I'd think she'd be of better assistance in w...

Re: Chuck Woolery: Academy Member?

As unlikely as it seems, I'm tempted to believe him. I've visited AMPAS's Memoriam page before and have been genuinely surprised by the people listed as former members of the Actors Branch. I recall several instances where the individual had a handful of minor film roles but a laundry list of televi...

Re: Rare Films - Can anyone help me?

Big Magilla, If The Dark at the Top of the Stairs is on YouTube, I surely cannot find it there. Would you mind posting it in a link below? Also, does TCM play this one? Thanks! I saw this on YouTube fairly recently but I noticed just now they have taken it off. I found The Dark at the Top of the St...
