Kinda but out of bored and entropy. It's a co-lead, he's a star who's also quite personally popular for the sheer amount of films his Plan B finances/supports. Pacino/Pesci have already won before and no one cares if they win again.

Some NBR thoughts:

- Little Women and The Two Popes are the biggest snubs here. No citations anywhere for either one.

- I think this gives a big boost to Adam Sandler for nabbing a spot at that competitive Best Actor race.

- Though I don’t think this gives a significant boost to Richard Jewell since the NBR (in)famously loves Clint Eastwood, this could help Kathy Bates maybe get one of the Supporting Actress slots.

- I hope this isn’t the start of a Zellweger steamroll. I haven’t seen it but that would be boring.

Who else announces this week?

Also, "Waves" and "Richard Jewell" and "Uncut Gems" are really rising.

And so the Zellweger backlash begins...again...lol

New York Film Critics is next. Tomorrow, actually, the 4th.

Golden Globes, SAG and Critics Choice all announce nominees next week.

Personally, I think Leonardo DiCaprio is the better performance in Once Upon a Time in...Hollywood and Brad Pitt was better in Ad Astra.

I would love to see Pacino win another one for The Irishman though. This time, a more deserved Oscar. He can give back his 1992 Oscar to Denzel Washington and Denzel can give his Lead Oscar to Tom Wilkinson. So everyone's happy.
