I first came across Wes’s website in November 1995 when he was predicting The Crucible would sweep the following year.
My first recollections of the board date back to the 1999 awards. We even had an academy nominee as a member. The editor of The Sixth Sense.

Re: Final Oscar Predictions
I had a feeling America Ferrera would pull off… But why did she have to "pull off"? She didn’t “have to”. It’s an out of the box nomination, usually a cottail, for limited screen time roles that sometimes show up in the list. Marina de Tavira, Laura Dern in Wild are the most recent exampl...

Re: I'm always here for the Trivia
Only 13 movies nominated under acting+picture. One of the lowest ever after the expansion of the best picture category.

Re: USC Scripter Nominations
I guess the grass roots campaign for Origin is paying off.
Now just watch it getting nominated for best picture, actress and adapted screenplay next week.

Re: Last Predictions of the Year
Apparently Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor is being pushed hard in the best actress category for Ava DuVernay’s Origin in the last couple of days.
I’m feeling Andrea Riseborough vibes.

Re: PGA Award Nominations
I think we need to contextualize The Color Purple's box office performance. If you look back at past Tyler Perry films, they had a similar great debut and subsequent quick fade. From that context, I really don't think it should be considered a flop. It got an A CinemaScore, which is from the target...

Re: PGA Award Nominations
Did these ever correlated 100% with best picture at the Oscars? Because this list sure looks like the nominated 10

Re: DGA Nominees
I do understand that the foreign members have a significant impact in the directors branch and I predicted Pawlikowski, Ostlund, Vinterberg and Yamaguchi in my last predictions before the announcement. These five seem very likely to replicate. If any of them are to be left out I think it’s Payne, wh...

Re: Last Predictions of the Year
More on The Color Purple. Over the last two days, Taraji P. Henson came out complaining that Oprah only gave them rental cars to drive themselves to set (not drivers) and Danielle Brooks complained that they didn't have dressing room or food for rehearsals. Are those valid complaints? In a $100m mo...

Thanks a lot for pointing that out. Fixed.Mister Tee wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 9:44 pmMy friend, you seem to have omitted a best director pick (probably because you, like me, worked from the initial post of nominations here, which left the category out).

Re: 2023 Bafta Longlists
Major surprises seem to be the omissions of Willem Dafoe and Charles Melton.
Rachel Mcadams keeps showing in critics list but I don’t know if she was eligible here.
