Re: The Oscar Shortlist - 2020
Some real craziness in here. The Visual Effects department offering some of the biggest shockers by snubbing WONDER WOMAN 1984 and THE INVISIBLE MAN while also nominating WELCOME TO CHECHNYA. This has to be the first time a documentary has ever been included in the shortlist for f/x. Has anyone see...

Re: SAG Nominations
Does anyone know how accessible (or how pushed) Billie Holiday was? It seems to just be starting to pick up buzz (there was a big segment on CBS Sunday Morning this week, which tends to signal to me a push towards older voters), but I haven't seen a whole lot of screener push or Q&As yet. Not su...

Re: Promising Young Woman
I second everything Wesley just said. This trend of criticism to focus on looks and age in deciding if someone is giving a good performance drives me nuts. We need to move beyond the John Simon type of reviewing. And that Variety review is infuriating.

Re: Independent Spirit Awards
I always prefer it when the Spirit Awards are a little more off the beaten track, but in a year dominated by Independent cinema, this is a good list. Supporting Actor might be my favorite category here: Paul Raci is my favorite of the year, but Orion Lee is wonderful in First Cow, the two Ma Rainey'...

My guess: Lily Tomlin.
Other possibilities: Jennifer Lopez, Diane Keaton, Robert Redford

Re: The Mauritanian reviews
I saw this last night. I don't think it is going to be a big factor. On a quality scale, I would say that it is on the same level as MacDonald's Last King of Scotland, which was really only acknowledged for Whitaker's performance. This also has a terrific central performance in Tahar Rahim, but it i...

Re: London Film Critics Nominations
I think the Oscar Best Actor 5 will match this lineup. Best Actress will also match with the exception of Morfydd Clark who will be replaced by either Sophia Loren or Michelle Pfeiffer. Sidney Flanigan, if the Academy wants to follow the critics. I think Boseman may well get 2 nods this year. Andra...

Re: Ma Rainey's Black Bottom reviews
My guess is name recognition and prestige. These are the two to get major Broadway revivals and proven to be more in the public arena than some of the others. They are also the two that I read in Theatre history classes in undergrad...and along with Piano Lesson probably his most respected plays.

Re: New York Film Critics Circle
Boseman is in the film in flashback scenes. He's the dead guy whose remains the other four came back for. It's not much of a role but I guess it makes a convenient way to honor him if you're not going to give him Best Actor for Ma Rainey. It isn't, but he is pretty magnetic in the film and importan...
