Precursor Awards (2022-2023)

[emmygrammyoscartony]

I think Yeoh takes it for now. It is an amazing narrative. That being said, Blanchett getting #3 is very possible (McDormand just did it), but I am thinking more of a surprise winner coming from nowhere. Who knows??? I still think that Ana de Armas could get in.

I hate the gender-neutral category idea.

Keke Palmer won NYFCC for Supporting Actress for Nope. Love to see her win anything, but never considered she'd be in Supporting for the film.

[Brad]

I think she is being campaigned as Supporting, though I agree with her being Lead.

[emmygrammyoscartony]

She is Lead, but this win makes me ELATED. I hope she gains traction! ♡

"Top Gun: Maverick." Is this just nostalgia voting? It was not a BAD movie, but best of the year is a stretch. It is getting a lot of mentions in Picture.

I also think Actress is more and more become finalized with Blanchett, Davis, Deadwyler, Williams, and Yeoh.,

Man, "Empire of Light" really bombed and did not live up to that hype.

[eurocheese]

Empire has some beautiful sequences but it's a mixed bag overall. I think the last Actress slot will be Davis vs. Robbie.

I'm fine with the BP nod for Top Gun, which was a great popcorn film, but the wins have me concerned. For a nod, though, let it happen so we can shut down all the stupid "Oscar films make no box office" articles.

Damn! Today is Boston, LA, and NYO! Big day for precurosors!
