Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

Chalamet now has a chance (even a likelihood) of sweeping the traditional three critics' groups. This won't make him an Oscar favorite, but it should -- at least until the TV awards come along -- prevent people from calling Gary Oldman a runaway front-runner. (For once, my instincts were correct: t...

Past NY+LA winners: 2010 - Colin Firth, King's Speech 2008 - Sean Penn, Milk 2007 - Daniel Day-Lewis, There Will be Blood 2006 - Forest Whitaker, Last King of Scotland (tied LA w/Borat) 2003 - Bill Murray, Lost in Translation 2002 - Daniel Day-Lewis, Gangs of New York (tied LA w/Nicholson) 1996 - Ge...

These ties are lovely. All the Precursor Shows have been very divisive so far. This is exciting.

I hope Oldman really gets some momentum going with this awarding of Chalamet.

I guess he's still missing a nom. (According to bizarre, anyway.)

and I ultimately think the age handicap could very likely push Chalamet out - though who knows this year. No... just no. I don't mean to be rude; but some of your predictions are really asinine. It's delusional to doubt Chalamet's chance for a nom during this point in the race. His praise is undeni...

NBR - Willem Dafoe
NY - Willem Dafoe
LA - Willem Dafoe

Shit, mates...

Ditto. My most sincerest condolences.

Watch me shit the bed again. Watch me be the only one to predict 'Best Picture' accurately again. :lol: Anyhow, only doing the 'important' categories...

These discussions on low-buzzed contenders are pointless. They're not going to pan out. Also, Tiffany Haddish (for a nomination and, quite honesty, even a surprise win). I understand a nom even though I still believe It's rather unlikely to turn out... but a win? She JUST received 1 Critics' Award s...

Explain yourself.

For some reason, lots of folks at AwardsWatch were convinced Streep was going to Sophie's Choice her way through the season, and they're shell-shocked by this. A rather large portion of people on AW are rather bias when it comes to predicting. (IE: "Stanning.") Which I really don't get. D...

Nope.

Just read the results. 'The Post's' Wins actually cracked me up a bit. I should've seen this coming. (But who really cares, this sh*t doesn't matter.)

Damn . NBR, Gotham, NYFCC are already here? It's kinda like what Tee said: A bit like opening the first Christmas gift – you know it’s all going to start coming fast and furious once you begin. Winners are 2 days away . Every Stan (on AW & Twitter), and "Pundit" is predicting 'Call Me...

I concur these are never 'fun.' But I'll try to make it so. (I guess.)
