RE: Oscars 2023
There's no such thing as a career award without any merit component (and the strength of the film in question majorly feeds into that). Close losing for 'The Wife' and Boseman losing for MR'sBB very much show that you can arrive to the ceremony as overdue as any actor will ever be or literally *dead* and if the movie you're in isn't a strong enough vessel, you will still lose to someone else in a more popular and more nominated film (as shown by 'The Father' overperforming with Hopkins winning a bunch of precursors and MR'sBB missing out on a Best Pic nod). JLC was in a movie that ended up being an Oscar juggernaut + voters legitimately found her performance hilarious and noteworthy (at least based on the 15 or so secret ballots I read) + it was her first nomination in an otherwise illustrious career. That's the math right there. Bassett's movie wasn't as strong and that's what ultimately buried her.

RE: Oscars 2023
I did 10 random predictions at the top of this thread. How did I do?
Quote:01. The Academy leadership will be overhauled and will be under new management who can stand up to ABC. There will also be a new producer and a host that will be announced before the end of the year. Correct! Quote:02. Brendan Fraser will be an Oscar front-runner. (You heard it here first!) Correct! Quote:03. The Batman will get nominated for Best Picture....but people will STILL complain and still accuse the Academy of being elitist. Nope. Quote:04. Michelle Yeoh will do VERY well in the precursors for Everything, Everywhere All At Once. She'll get a Globe nod, a SAG nod and a number of critics awards. But she'll be snubbed on Oscar morning, pissing off everyone. Nope. Quote:05. There will be TWO non-English language films in the Best Picture race. One or both of them won a prize in Cannes. Half-correct. Triangle of Sadness is a Swedish film in English and won at Cannes. Quote:06. Netflix will get THREE Best Picture nominees in...but may still lose. Nope. Quote:07. The Best Actress winner will be someone non-white. CORRECT! Quote:08. One of these scenarios will happen in the Best Director race, I feel: Three women will be nominated but a man will still win. Or no woman will be nominated causing another outcry. #OscarsSoMale The latter happened. Quote:09. Avatar 2 will either be a Best Picture front-runner or get snubbed entirely. No middle ground. Half-correct. [quote]10. An animated film and a documentary will contend for a spot in Best Picture.[quote] Somewhat correct. There was buzz that Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio and for a while, All The Beauty and the Bloodshed could contend for Best Picture. Will post these types of predictions again soon! |
