(It seems as though something happened & everyone had to re-register here.)

Be safe, all!

I think it'll be Joker. it'll make the Academy feel so hip to have a first-time female honoree in this category. (Not to imply her winning isn't merit-based.)

2017's PRINCE OF BROADWAY is a musical revue showcasing Harold Prince's producing career.

I, too, loooooovvveee Schitt's Creek & came to this board during Oscar's off-season to say I'm overjoyed it scored nominations this week. Lo and behold, TWO board members have already posted expressing the same sentiment. CHEERS!!!

I had written in my notes last week, "dws1982 has a very good ballot."
