Re: Golden Globe Predictions Contest

It was my runner-up (in our site predictions), but my fault for not going with any for these predictions. I hate being penalized for naming runners-up.

Re: Golden Globe Predictions Contest

I keep forgetting to post these. I'm going with a list that's both populist and elitist. The group group in size and the larger a group grows, the more populist it becomes. That said, I think they'll try to make a few statements with their selections, so mine are genuinely all over the place. While ...

Re: 2023 Set Decorators Society of America Nominees

What is going on with these groups having a date on their website, then changing it? The Make-Up Artists Guild did it last week and now the Set Decorators Society.

Re: BAFTA Long Lists

May December was shut out of all but two categories. Saltburn got into several, but wasn't a finalist for Best Picture. American Fiction also missed Best Picture.

Re: 2023 Oscar Predictions

Here's a more robust defense. Every Barbie and Ken in the film is based on an existing character and identity created by Mattel. Many of the costumes and settings were taken directly from pre-existing "storylines" and product ranges. Barbie has also had countless animated films that have e...

Re: 2023 Oscar Predictions

I wouldn't look to WGA to help anyway. They've scheduled their awards for AFTER the Oscars this year. It's weird. I think they've just said Fukitol and given up since they can't be bothered to adjust their rules to allow non-guild members to compete.

Re: R.I.P. Tom Smothers

Most of my experience of older shows was Nick at Night. I had to verify that's where I had seen them and this is what I found. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programs_broadcast_by_Nick_at_Nite It says they ran from May 4, 1986 – March 25, 1989. Those would have been times I'd watched the show...

Re: R.I.P. Tom Smothers

I had thought Dick proceeded him, but it looks like he's still going. I remember some of the Smothers Brothers show, but mostly from re-runs and their still prominence in the early 1980s.

Re: Oscar Shortlists

If Barbie had made the VFX and sound lists, it could have been pushing towards a 15-nomination tally. Now it can't get there. Still, 13 wouldn't be unsurprising. Of course, ask La La Land how it feels to be top dog.

Re: New Developments III

Sorry, Taki. I misunderstood what you wrote. Yes, if SCOTUS affirms the decision, it would be nationwide. That said, they are cowards and 3 of them are appointed by Trump himself. I can't imagine that the 3 of them and the two ultra-conservatives that preceded them will agree to allow Trump to be ki...

Re: New Developments III

No. Any state where the Republicans out number the Democrats on the state supreme courts will not disqualify. I believe Minnesota has already decreed that he is not disqualified, so there are two states with differing results.
