Despite (or maybe because of) the odd nominations the BAFTAs managed to predict almost every category at the Oscars - this is probably the closest they have ever matched.

As far as I can see the only difference was cinematography.

I was pleased. I’m a massive Amanda Seyfried fan and if she’s not winning (a reasonable assumption), I don’t want to see the award go to the other young actress in the race. (Petty, I admit.)

Thanks to YouTube streaming, I could skip my traditional avoid-the-Internet/watch in NY in the evening.

The nominations, I think we can see, were but a charade: as many predicted, once the juries were superseded by the usual voters, Oscar contenders took over. Not one of the out-there nominees took home a prize.

Surely any film that wins Globe-Drama/PGA/DGA and BAFTA is a best picture Oscar certainty...or so thought the people behind 1917 last year. (Also La La Land, though in that case it was Globe-Musical or Comedy.) I still have my doubts about Nomadland, but I'll save them for a one-by-one best picture thread.

I wrote the other day that I thought Hopkins was a possible winner here. I doubt it has much impact on the Oscars, where the sentiment for Boseman is pretty overwhelming.

With McDormand winning, four of the five Oscar best actress nominees have taken a TV prize -- I believe the first time any category has broken out that way since supporting actress 2007. One can wonder, given Promising Young Woman's two prizes (original screenplay/British film), if Carey Mulligan might have been the favorite here had she not been excluded.

Daniel Kaluuya is the season's only acting sweeper. Hard to remember that, leading into the Globes, some thought the film had opened too late.

The disappointment of the day, for me, is Youn winning -- not because she doesn't deserve it, but because she probably drains the suspense out of the supporting actress Oscar race. I won't say definitely, because she and Bakalova were the only two nominees with a shot thanks to the jury thing...but SAG/BAFTA are the prime predictors, and I think you have to go back almost 20 years to find someone who won both and didn't repeat at the Oscars.

Chloe Zhao is the surest best of any category. I don't think any other director won a prize anywhere this year.

Adapted screenplay, however, comes alive. Again, I'll save my thoughts on it for a one-by-one thread. But it's not a lay-down.

Damn The Octopus Teacher! After the reprieve last night at DGA, it got a really big boost. This is a real case of what Sabin once called "Oscar voters disappointing Oscar fans."

Another "category" up in the air: final spot in the In Memoriam. Christopher Plummer a bit of an unexpected choice, after Olivia deHavilland topped TCM's list, and Boseman SAG's. I'd put Sean Connery in the mix, as well. Very tough call.

Are we back to this crap? Boseman remains the favorite, but a win for Hopkins or Ahmed at the Oscars would be well received. End of discussion.

The reaction SHOULD be “well deserved. It was the best performance of the year”.
I totally agree.

I personally thought Boseman gave a far better performance in Da 5 Bloods but he will prevail at the Oscars. I also think Viola Davis will win too. The Academy will finally honour a second black actress in the lead category. It's about time they did. Mulligan will just have to wait out her turn.

With these exceptions, the Oscar favorites all won. Agree that McDormand is a placeholder. But that Hopkins got it because he's one of the local guys and was extraordinarily impressive.
