Precursor Awards (2023-2024)

I know. LOL! But at least it is different. All the rest of them are just becoming ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I do not think Efron is completely out of the realm of possibility. Crazier things have happened, though the Globe nod missing is a biggie.

I am gonna predict Efron, Sessa, and Huller as a double nominee as my NGNG predictions this year. And something crazy is gonna happen in Director, but I don't know what.

The Directors' Branch loves a foreign-language film nominee, so I wouldn't be surprised to see J.A. Bayona nominated.

I know different strokes, but I just cannot understand why there is a overwhelming support for "Oppenheimer."

Remember when the BAFTA longlist of contenders was not just mostly Oscar contenders? I miss that first year when that was the case.

I really did think there would be a different winner for a major category when televised awards started, but that is not the case this year. I do not remember a year where the winners are already determined by January 10.

Oppenheimer
Nolan
Murphy
Gladstone
Downey, Jr.
Randolph

Please bring on next year.

I don't think Murphy or Oppenheimer or to a lesser extent, Lily Gladstone are 100% done deals yet. The rest of them are though.

It also wouldn't surprise me if Nolan, who has always had pushback from Academy members, is denied an Oscar win in Director so they can give Scorsese #2. I'm not predicting it at this point, but I could see it happening.

[emmygrammyoscartony]

I hope y'all are right to add some spice, but it is also because I loathe "Oppenheimer" and definitely need it to lose at least one of those three (Picture, Director, Actor). I just...do not see that happening.

Why are the Globes still 'a thing' to where they attract big stars and such? It has a known history not only of being bought off, but of the racism scandal from 2 years ago. It seems odd to me how they were able to weather all of that so quickly/easily.
