Re: Best Supporting Actress Shouldabeens
1970: Jane Asher (Deep End) Man, I watched this just a week or two ago and there's no way I'd file Asher in support. She's in the film nearly as much as John Moulder Brown and, honestly, she's a more dominant force on screen than him. However, your list is fire. Great selections. Yeah she's definit...

Best Supporting Actress 2017
A fun race, a fun category and an interesting benchmark of how the Academy's taste in nominees is reverting to a very old-Hollywood style lead actor-character actor binary. I respect Mudbound, and I'm pleased that an actress of colour can get nominated for this kind of role, but my response to Blige...

Best Supporting Actor 2017
This was one of the hardest categories to read for the bulk of the season - and ended up being one of the most boring slates of nominees. Oh well. I like The Florida Project a lot, but Dafoe's here on name recognition. He's a solid, warm presence but he's not trying anything new. Jenkins is a good a...

Best Actress 2017
This is perhaps the strongest lineup of a decade with pretty consistently strong sets of nominees in this category - with quite a few strong on-paper contenders crowding for a last spot that ultimately went to the least interesting performance of the final five (hi, Meryl). I saw a joke recently tha...

Re: Best Actor 2017
2002 was the first Oscars I followed, and it always seemed like a clear option that the voters would go the underdog route (especially with in a major Best Picture threat) in a field with 4 previous winners (two of them multiple winners) and one first-time nominee. I like Brody's win, he carries the...

Best Actor 2017
Oldman had this in the bag as soon as the project was announced - notwithstanding the strange anachronism of awarding a hagiographic portrayal of Winston Churchill at a time when anti-colonial narratives are entering the public sphere like never before, Oldman's performance is as loud and superficia...

Best Screenplays 2017
This year saw a major dissonance between one of the strongest Original Screenplay categories in recent memory and one of the most barebones pools of options in any major category for years in Adapted. In the latter, Call Me by Your Name had this sewn up since its premiere at Sundance over a year pri...

Best Picture & Director 2017
This was an interesting year that was hard to get a real hold on until well into precursor season. That being said, there were few also-rans in the Best Picture race with any real momentum. I'd predicted an 8-film field but was pleasantly surprised to see Phantom Thread surge at the last minute. Als...

Re: Oscar Predictions Thread - Keeping Up with Precursor Season
No critics groups have gelled around Stuhlbarg yet, which worries me, and I ultimately think the age handicap could very likely push Chalamet out - though who knows this year.

Oscar Predictions Thread - Keeping Up with Precursor Season
As LAFCA voting is underway, NBR and NYFCC have announced and we wait on Globe and Critics' Choice nominations, the season has entered a new phase. Here are my updated predictions marking the beginning of the precursor whirlwind (* denotes a winner, longlists for the Top 8 categories only): Best Pic...

Re: Oscar Predictions Thread - TIFF to NBR
I don't think we should expect a Dafoe nod in Lead at LAFCA - Keaton had the screentime of a support performance but his was the closest thing to a central character of that ensemble, and Arquette, whose positioning in that category makes more sense on paper, was in every section of that film. Dafoe...

Re: Oscar Predictions Thread - TIFF to NBR
I expected nothing more from The Post, honestly. I expect that to be the consensus opinion judging from everything released so far. To my mind these are the only viable contenders in each acting category, barring some major last minute campaigns or SAG tomfoolery: Best Picture SAFE BETS: Call Me by ...
