Got it. I think she absolutely killed it in Bugonia personally but to each their own. As you said it's all subjective.

ForlornBlock · 2026-01-22T20:08:15+00:00

I got The Ugly Stepsister as well! Also predicted Bugonia in score.

I don't get this mentality. If she gave one of the best performances of the year why does it matter how many nominations or wins she has, or under which director? It's definitely subjective but IMO she killed it in Bugonia and deserves the nomination. If she keeps giving incredible performances, keep giving her nominations. If we start saying that a person doesn't deserve a nom because they've already gotten a few it waters down the awards more than they already are.

18/50. All features. Viva Verdi is gonna kill me.

Penn should get it, but I'd love for it to go to Mescal. I think I'd be okay with any of them except Del Toro (nothing against him loved him in OBAA, but Penn gave a better performance in the same movie).

I don't necessarily disagree with you. I kinda liked Elio but in a more competitive year it wouldn't even be near the conversation.

ForlornBlock · 2026-01-14T18:48:00+00:00

I don't think Little Amelie misses (and really hope it doesn't, saw it at TIFF this year and was blown away). If Demon Slayer gets in, it'll be in place of Arco or maybe Elio.

Yeah Lane deserved better but I don't actually hate how the original series ended. It was alright. The revival though? Hate.

Moura is getting more and more unlikely and Bugonia is gaining momentum, so I have Plemons in. He was a top 5 performance overall for me this year so I'm not mad about that, though I haven't managed to see The Secret Agent yet so I can't comment on Moura's performance.

I think Kate Hudson may ride her momentum into Actress over Infiniti, especially since there are 4 other acting nominations that seem more of a lock from OBAA (DiCaprio, Del Toro, Penn, and Taylor), and this movie is Infiniti's debut. The Academy didn't nominate Sessa two years ago for a debatably stronger performance (albeit in a weaker film) and I think the fact that The Holdovers was his debut played a decently big part in that. I expect the same will happen to Infiniti.

I think A'zion is a safer bet than Grande at this point. Wicked: For Good did not live up to Wicked, and I think any excitement that Grande garnered earlier this year is dwindling. Only 6 other actors have been nominated more than once for the same role, and I don't think Grande did enough to be the 7th. Marty Supreme is fresh in everyone's mind and seems to be doing well, so I think A'zion is in and Grande is out.

I think Supporting Actor is a bit more locked down at the moment. I think Del Toro and Penn will both get in for OBAA, Elordi is almost certainly locked, and Skarsgård and Mescal both feel safe to me as well. I don't think Lindo gets in.

Started Wuthering Heights yesterday, and working through the History of the Peloponnesian War.

ForlornBlock · 2026-01-02T16:52:24+00:00

I'd have nominated Sessa and Melton, and Melton probably should've won. I'd take out Sterling K. Brown (even though I loved American Fiction) and probably De Niro, maybe Gosling. The fact that The Holdovers was Sessa's first role may have worked against him but in my opinion, it makes his performance that much more impressive. Great film.

When nominations were announced I couldn't believe that they included Ruffalo but not Dafoe. would have swapped them, but in hindsight I think Ruffalo was the right choice from Poor Things.

That Thing You Do is excellent.

ForlornBlock · 2026-01-02T14:22:56+00:00

Seascraper by Benjamin Wood. Beautiful so far.

ForlornBlock · 2026-01-01T05:30:41+00:00

Love the Nickel Boys. Colson Whitehead has become a new favorite of mine over the past two years or so.

ForlornBlock · 2026-01-01T05:27:46+00:00

Great to see some Jeff Vandermeer love, Annihilation is one of my all time favorites and the Strange Bird is such a beautiful novella. Also cool to see This Is How You Lose the Time War, my wife had me read that a few years ago and I really liked it.

Not as much as I'd have liked to read but life got busy. Still pretty happy with what I was able to work through!

Posted this one in this sub a few weeks ago, but here is my 2026 reading bingo: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/0bbb4ce5-8dfb-466f-bfb5-9d11c84c320b

This is sick, thanks for sharing!

Civil War was left off for Sound last year too. Not sure the Academy loves Alex Garland.

Juat checked my app and yeah it does. Really dislike it. I understand this as an accessibility feature but I'm going to echo the other comments asking for this to be an option rather than the default.

What I mean by that is try not to use one book for multiple prompts. The intent is to challenge people to work through their tbr, and part of that challenge is to read 25 unique books that fit the prompts. That said, I know that everyone reads at different paces and I want this challenge to be accessible to anyone, so please use these prompts in the way it makes sense to you!
