And co-star (they’re both in Rustin).

Re: Ceremony Details

Goddammit, are they doing that stupid clipless tribunal bullshit again? They better not be. That was so fucking stupid and did NOT work that year (the Kate Winslet/Mo’Nique/Heath Ledger year, IIRC). I also don’t like it when they do montages of the actor’s nominated performance which, I believe, th...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Adapted Screenplay

Put me down for "four of the five here could win". I can't bring myself to believe so determinedly a non-dialogue piece as The Zone of Interest could win in anything other than a free-for-all pure accident. Of course, if I'm saying the other four are all in it, that's precisely the thing ...

Re: The Zone of Interest reviews

Has literally no one seen this besides me and Tee? Strange how little discussion there is about what I find one of the best films of the year. I pointed out below that it should be a strong contender for Best Sound (which I stated pre-BAFTA win). I will be predicting it at the Oscars, Oppenheimer be...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Best Actress

The desire in some quarters for her to get two nominations, as an example. That “desire” was completely warranted. I’m actually surprised her supporting nomination didn't materialize since her work in the film is one of its greatest strengths and that category was literally all over the place as fa...

Re: The Zone of Interest reviews

Why did the grandmother leave so suddenly? I do wish that one or two things, like whatever her mother wrote in that note, were slightly more spelled out. Upon further reflection, I have a different take now on the grandmother character. I think we have to assume she went back home, wherever that wa...

Re: The Zone of Interest reviews

Mister Tee is correct that the film version of The Zone of Interest is a large deviation from the source novel. There were two main characters of the novel erased from the film (the Kapo, I would say, might just be that one Jewish man who delivered the fur coat). But the essence of the novel is very...

Re: Nominations Announcement

Are the nominees still presented in alphabetical order? Tee, I think you would do a fun rundown back in the day of different scenarios when certain names didn’t come up at first, based on that.

Re: BAFTA Nominations

I said several months ago that BAFTA would resurrect Claire Foy and possibly bring Paul Mescal into the conversation. With as many mentions as All of Us Strangers got here (including Best Director which wasn’t even on my radar), I’m shocked that Andrew Scott didn’t come along for the ride. His centr...

Re: SAG Nominations

I love Colman Domingo and obviously support openly gay actors playing gay characters but Rustin is a completely subpar “wiki-film.” He should be replaced by Andrew Scott at the Oscars.

Re: Art Directors Guild Nominees

Several of those films got multiple acting nominations though. That’s not quite “collapse” territory for me. Wasn’t Selma even an Oscar winner for Best Original Song? The Color Purple seems to be wholesale botching out (I haven’t seen it). Could Danielle Brooks’s somewhat assured nomination be in pe...

Re: Golden Globe Predictions Contest

Yes, okay, I got 9 points. But I also didn’t copy-and-paste everyone else’s choices and decided (for the Globes, at least, since like who cares it’s the Globes) to choose some “no guts no glory” picks. I won this thing in 2005, I believe, so I’m fine with a dead-last finish this year. Thanks for add...
