Big week coming up. Nothing really to add to the performances but I am fascinated by Outstanding Ensemble Cast because I have real concerns and suspicious about two of the heaviest hitters: Mank and The Trial of the Chicago 7. The former, I think, was not satisfactorily entertaining for voters. We shall see what happens but I think it's too much of a curio to register. The Trial of the Chicago 7 feels like it came out a while ago. And I really do wonder how beloved it is. I know I was very disappointed by it and I don't think I'm alone. I'm not brave enough to predict it will miss out on an Ensemble nomination because it's such a big actor-y thing, but I do think it's a bit vulnerable. I think the actors might like Promising Young Woman and Sound of Metal more.

Yes, but not in support. They have to follow guidelines. He could replace Yeun, or even Hopkins, in lead.

Yes, that's what I mean. I think SAG voters will take to the film quite a bit.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A CAST IN A MOTION PICTURE

I hadn't thought about that, but that seems really likely. Are we sure it is eligible?

I double-checked and it's competing in the TV movie categories at the SAG's. Corrected it.

I liked both Langella and Rylance better than Sacha Baron Cohen in Trial, but Baron has the momentum. I see Kingsley Ben-Adir for Langella's slot at the Globes, but SAG considered him in lead.

Y'know, it's a testament to how much I think SAG voters will like One Night in Miami... that I think Kingsley Ben-Adir could sneak in.

Good choices, Magilla. I can't really argue with most of them.

- The Trial of the Chicago 7 could definitely score two nominations. I'm not sure if Frank Langella will be the one getting a supporting nomination over Mark Rylance but it all depends on how much the film goes over.
- Not sure Herself has a high enough profile but the writer/actress thing could certainly help Claire Dunne, who before your post I thought was Claire Danes that you had misspelled.
- Brian Dennehy for Driveways could happen. They nominated James Gandolfini for Enough Said. I feel like both films had higher profiles but stranger things have happened.
- Da 5 Bloods and The Trial of the Chicago 7 for Best Performance by Stunt Ensemble will be terrible nominations as their stunt work looked terrible.
- Starting to wonder if The White Tiger, which is starting to pick up a little attention, could bode well for Adarsh Gourav and Priyanka Chopra.

Thanks.

It's Clare, not Claire, Dunne, but, yeah, it's a terrific breakthrough performance and one that you would think SAG members would appeal strongly to struggling SAG members - not sure about Oscar, though. Michelle Pfeiffer is still a threat, especially if she picks up a Globe nomination.

Dennehy is great in Driveways - deserves the nomination on merit, not just because of his death.

Spirit Awards nominated Valerie Mahafffey in support for French Exit. I can see her taking Bakalova's spot at the Oscars if they don't consider Bakalova's performance serious enough.

Stunt ensembles were mostly missing in action (forgive the pun) this year.

I thought I read somewhere that Hamilton was eligible in the film categories at the Golden Globes but in the TV Movie/Limited Series categories at SAG. But that was mistaken, or maybe that got changed.

MALCOLM AND MARIE sounds like it is less a narrative film and more an opportunity for writer/director Sam Levinson to air petty grievances against all his critics, but professional and personal. It sounds like the worst kind of indulgent nonsense, and I would be very surprised if any members of SAG took it seriously.

In an age where everyone is hyper-focused (and not unjustifiably) about making sure that the right people are telling certain stories, I will never understand how this ridiculously privileged white guy has gotten away with telling the story of a teen black girl and her transgender friend (Euphoria) and escaped blowback. Probably due to the fact that it's television. Maybe a chamber drama where he imagines himself as John David Washington complaining about critics will put that to an end.

Paul Dennehy, Driveways

That's Brian, I presume.

You presume correctly. Thanks for the heads-up.

Also, I believe every cast member gets their own title card. Could it be a lot more names than this?

[rolotomasi99]

Zendaya could benefit from Malcolm and Marie hype and a very hot couple of years but Malcolm and Marie has received a little more muted reviews than expected.
