I wouldn't be mad if Demi got the Oscar because she emoted her ass off in The Substance. Literally. :o

But my head tells me that Anora is gonna sweep this whole awards season.
Even though we haven't seen the Oscar nominations yet, I have a feeling that it'll be either The Brutalist, Anora or Wicked taking Best Picture, with the first two being more likely since Wicked Part 2 will be in the running next year. Until recently I would have included Dune: Part Two in there but it seems to have lost some momentum. Still expecting it to be nominated though.

I can't make heads or tails of too much just yet. It doesn't look like there's a clear frontrunner right now like Oppenheimer was last year.

You're probably right.

Wicked will definitely be included, not just because of the stellar performances, but they need the fans for viewership numbers for these awards shows also.

Please don't slap me, and I get that they are visually beautiful movies and made by an auteur, but the Dune movies are another phenomena that I just don't get. I was so bored watching the first one. :csad:

Oh, Dune ain't everyone's cup of tea, lol. Frankly I'm actually surprised that these new movies have caught as much as they have because the source material isn't as widely accessible to audiences as something like Star Wars.

But back to Wicked, I'm sure there'll be at least one performance during the show. Maybe they'll open the ceremony like Queen did the year Bohemian Rhapsody was nominated.
 

“Hi, folks, do you happen to remember that I’m EDGY???”

Sure, but at least with Dune, they’re able to do interesting things without a fandom deciding to drive those responsible into hiding. :o
 
I just watched A Real Pain. Keiran Culkin's got my vote for Best Supporting Actor right now. Let's get Roman Fuller an Oscar.

Yeah, the Chalamet lookalike contest really was a breath of fresh air if that even counts as fan behavior.
 
It's funny people love to talk about how there aren't any new bonafide movie stars, but between the lookalike contest and his appearance on College Gameday, Chalamet is the guy.

 
I haven't even seen more than clips of Anora and I still think Mikey Madison deserves it.

I adored The Substance and Demi in it, but if she wins, it truly will be another Jamie Lee Curtis situation of "we've always been fans, so congrats for ACTING in a cool movie!"
 
Really hope it makes it to more screens in my city this time around and I can actually catch it.
 
I still have to see Hard Truths, but I still feel some type of way that Marianne Jean-Baptiste got snubbed at the Globes considering how much praise and other accolades her performance is getting.

It feels like she should be in contention with Mikey Madison and Demi Moore.

Yeah, I would love it if Demi won it because I love that movie so much, but Mikey Madison is the favorite going into the awards race and Anora is also fantastic from start to finish.

I will be SHOCKED if Mikey doesn't win the Golden Globe this Sunday.

Have you seen that Amy Adams movie that has an expletive in the title? It's up for a Globe. I think I might check it out in a bit.

Night B**ch was one of those movies I forget exists until I see its title popping up. I need to see the reception for it.

I saw it, It's not the movie you think it should be.

It's got a gimmick that doesn't really work and what the movie is really about also doesn't really work. Amy Adams is still pretty good in it but that's about it.

It's just a lot of squandered potential.

Amy needs to fire her agent. *Cough*
 
Ani stays sleepy.

 
Yup.

Madison should win best lead, but if she doesn’t it be cause Demi Moore is more known and liked, which kinda sucks to say that as she is my number two choice. Damn.
 

Haven’t watched it yet, but give it Best Pic. Gotta see this ***** have a real meltdown.

Yeah i'm shocked it's taken this long for those people to go wild about that movie, especially the ending.
 
I should watch Conclave, it just didn't seem to grab my interest until now.
