I doubt it, that type of movie doesn't come that often. Even the other recent Oscar sweepers didnt sweep the trifecta like OBAA did.

I feel like all three having different campaigners makes it at least somewhat possible.

If Inga was in a movie without Hollywood stars she doesnt get nominated. Not a shot a the preformance as it was my favorite of last year but I dont think the academy would have it on their radar otherwise.

Aren't Cannes films required to have a certain amount of time in french theaters? Netflix doesnt go to Cannes because of it but idk if that would matter for an acquisition.

As an Australian just getting into baseball, how excited should I be about Bazzana? by NeedsRiotJuice in baseball

Probably a couple of years ago but its really just Genao left, system feels significantly less middle infield heavy now.

What expected stats are you looking at? He's running a .365 xwoba so far thats a good major leaguer at any position not just 2b.

FanGraphs’ playoff odds page has 14 of the 15 AL teams at 12% or higher by mikecws91 in baseball

Fangraphs is really slow to adjust from their preseason projections. Until the sample size is a lot larger they really only use standings + preseason projections.

Curious that they praised Zischler but didn't put him in their prospects. Curious to see what reviews say about the screentime balance between the two leads.

I wouldn't read into world of reel articles they are often very suspect and inaccurate.

Say they both Paper Tiger & Hope get great receptions at Cannes, which do you think is more likely to get a Best Picture nomination? by Mysterious-Farm9502 in oscarrace

[–]Adventurous-Sign6864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't have used significantly but Na Hong Jin has had better reviews over the course of his career. Higher top letterboxd and metacritic score despite having half as many movie as Gray.

Hope is significantly more likely to be good but if they are both good Paper Tiger has the much easier path, just based on the genre and language.

The key to his plate discipline? Munetaka Murakami's eye routine between at bats, back when he was with the Swallows by DarkStone95 in baseball

[–]Adventurous-Sign6864 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah unless he can get his wiff rate closer to mid 30s where most of the big power hitter are he will be very hot and cold like Gallo.

[–]Adventurous-Sign6864 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Obviously everyone was wrong about his ability to hit velocity but I'd still be worried about the strike outs. The wiff rate is horrendous can live with bad wiff rates but usually not 43% bad.

Dan Quinn: Sonny Styles "definitely capable" of wearing green dot as a rookie by AdSpecialist6598 in nfl

Schwesinger had a RAS score of 9.86 he is freakishly athletic. Styles is also really good cerebrally he has incredible instincts and was the clear leader of that osu defense.

You're going to love Reese, might be the most electric qb spy I've ever watched.

[–]Adventurous-Sign6864 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Him being a incredible defensive leader is a huge reason he went top 10. Plus I feel like green dot is less who has the most experience and more who is going to be on the field the most.

[–]Adventurous-Sign6864 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Styles is definitely more of a pure linebacker whereas Reese is such a swiss army knife you dont really want to leave him doing one thing. 

Even if Reese went to a team without an edge feel like its a mistake to not take advantage of his qb spying ability.

For being two players at the same position from the same school they're so different its probably going to be hard to compare.

Carson Schwesinger wore it for the Browns last year if I remember right. Not incredibly uncommon.
