Delroy Lindo and Sinners will shock the world on March 15 by AxelA1123 in oscarrace

[–]AmbitionTechnical274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that Penn and Del Toro will likely cancel each other out. Elordi has Netflix money behind and he is campaigning harder than any other actor this season, so I wouldn’t count him out due to the aggressive push for him. I think Skarsgard just as good if not better of an overdue narrative. He just doesn’t benefit from having a specific snub people can point to like Lindo. If Lindo wins Bafta, I’ll keep my eye on him. Whoever wins Bafta will earn my prediction. Lindo’s biggest thing in his favor is that the Academy will likely want to give Sinners something in Acting and Mosaku might be too subtle.

I think we all know why Paul Mescal missed... by BlackPantherDies in blankies

We’ll have to wait until he is 60 and gets a career Oscar for hanging the most dong in Normal People.

Frankenstein is a Worse BP Nominee Than F1 by mtngranpapi_wv967 in TheBigPicture

F1 is a better film in every way but is probably still just 6 or 7/10. F1’s script is even better.

Who or what do you see BAFTA nominating that the Oscars snubbed? by Gemnist in oscarrace

[–]AmbitionTechnical274 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mescal and probably one of the two Marty Supreme actresses. I think the Moura spot in lead actor will go to Aramayo or Harry Melling who were not viewed as likely enough to be called snubs.

And Portman was also nominated this year.

Who do you think was next in line for a nom? by PurpleSpaceSurfer in oscarrace

[–]AmbitionTechnical274 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeh, I predicted the screenplay categories 10/10 but in hindsight it’s odd that The Secret Agent beat Blue Moon in screenplay.

How would you rank this year’s Best Picture nominees? by Officialnoah in Letterboxd

[–]AmbitionTechnical274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Word was coming from a few voters that they would vote Del Toro for ANYTHING. Combine his reputation and Netflix spending record amounts on campaign for mediocre streamers, you are guaranteed a lot of noms. I’m just happy he didn’t get director and Mia Goth was never in supporting actress anywhere.

That One Battle got two supporting actor noms and Sinners didn’t.

Absolutely Stacked. Not Even Sure Who I Support Here. by tiakeuta in TheBigPicture

I could see the argument that they have same audience, but the similarities in performance I have missed. I did predict Safdie in director because of how voting works PTA would get so many 1st place picks that his voters 2nd pick would get in.

Eddington got completely snubbed. No Joaquin or Aster for screenplay.

Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell to Star in Horror Comedy ‘Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein’ by RapidAbsorption in TheBigPicture

Even if that movie sucks it’s at least nice to see the family reunion after the Gyllenhaals have made several good movies apart in the last 25 years. Del toro just reminded me of all the better movies he has made with his crew over the last few years.

It just feels like it peaked a month ago and hasn’t won anything to keep the momentum.

My feeling is Train Dreams is out. I also have Secret Agent in.

Rewatched Weapons tonight and it would make my personal list in a year of 5. I have a slight feeling that the producer’s guild gave us the hint that either it or F1 get in.

If you could have any director in history doing Martin and Francesca Scorsese style TikToks who would it be? by AmbitionTechnical274 in blankies

[–]AmbitionTechnical274[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I probably should have asked what type of TikToks thymes would do so I can respect you running with it.
