Best Cinematography 2020
Nomadland gets my vote, and its loss is very weird. Mank's cinematography is impressive as well. Its contemporary and digital approach may be intentional and anachronistic, but at least generates an interesting debate. The other three are very solid, specially Sean Bobbitt's work.

Best Actress 2020
Great lineup, despite the mediocrity of four of these movies and the uncertainty of the result, which in the end turned out to be incredibly satisfying. The best performance here for me is clearly Frances McDormand at the top of her game, who richly deserved her third acting Oscar even more so than ...

Best Actor 2020
The most anticlimactic category annoucement of all time happened a few months ago, as all of us remember, which is a shame, given the outcome. Has ever any major Oscar category been proclaimed this poorly? I never entirely bought the Chadwick Boseman's narrative, as the Academy clearly did not eithe...

Re: Best Supporting Actress 2020
Definitely one of the best lineups of the last twenty years, I would say. And the most exciting race since 2000, precisely? Bakalova is really funny and this nomination is a triumph both for her and the Academy, but she doesn’t belong in supporting. Glenn Close is very good in Hillbilly Elegy and I’...

Re: Best Supporting Actor 2020
Kaluuya, Stanfield and Odom, Jr. -good as they are, specially Kaluuya- I can’t consider in this category. Cohen is not even the third best performance in his movie, so the only and obvious choice for me is Paul Raci for his restrained and deeply affecting performance in Sound of Metal.

Is this the worst case ever of category fraud in one single supporting category? Share your thoughts.

Best Supporting Actress 2020
If it’s not inconvenient, I think it’s time to wrap up this long year with these seven categories. I’ll post both supporting categories today, on Wednesday the leading ones, and next Saturday cinematography, screenplays, and directing and picture. I don’t think we need too much reflection about last...

Re: Too Old or Too Familiar?
Now come to mind Shirley MacLaine in Postcards from the Edge, Candice Bergen in Let Them All Talk, Robert Redford in All is Lost and Gena Rowlands and Sandy Dennis in Another Woman.

Re: Oscar Predictions Contest
This season has been painfully long. There's still one week to go, but I feel the more I scratch my head with these predictions the worse, so: Best Picture: Nomadland Best Directing: Chloé Zhao, Nomadland Best Actor in a Leading Role: Anthony Hopkins, The Father Best Actress in a Leading Role: Viola...

Re: 2020 Potential Best Supporting Actress Nominees
I managed to screw this up royally trying to add Glenn Close. It wiped out all the previous votes so I went in and put the number of votes already received by each candidate so that the total received for that person will be that number plus what anyone wants to add. I also enabled the ability to c...

Re: 2020 Potential Best Supporting Actress Nominees
I'd like Glenn Close to be nominated, to be honest, but I voted before reading your post, Magilla, so I selected Bakalova, Colman, Seyfried and with more enthusiasm Ellen Burstyn and Candice Bergen, it would be wonderful if the Academy rescued them both. For Candice Bergen it's been fourty-one years...

Best Picture and Director 2019
Let's conclude this and keep two more days scratching our heads with the nominations to come. How different was it all. 2019 was a great year for both top categories and I think it will become a very cherished and nostalgic one in years to come. My heart is divided with my love for most of these fil...
