Merry Christmas Tee and to everyone on the board.

a performer will sweep the season if a) the performance is magnificent b) the category is weak and there is no real competition

Who h are your favourite films this year?

Sabin’s obsession with The Iron Claw is almost on the same level of Magilla’s Tea With Mussolini

I do get your point about foreign language nominees Tee and thought about it while making the list. I just don’t feel enough traction for any of those names under what it looks like such a competitive year althoug I must admit that Sandra Huller can easily replace Bening on my list.

We are one week away of the beginning of the awards seasons. These are my last predictions for the top 6 categories pre precursors: PICTURE All of Us Strangers American Fiction Barbie The Color Purple The Holdovers Killers of the Flower Moon Maestro Oppenheimer Past Lives Poor Things DIRECTOR Greta ...

We’re off-topic but the farther out I get from 2019, increasingly my favorite of the nominees is DiCaprio for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the one time he would be my choice. I agree with this. Once Upon a Time in Hollywod has become a real comfort food watch for me and I don't think DiCaprio has...
