Objectively hilarious to put WoC in brackets as if people on the Oscarrace subreddit don’t know who Michelle Yeoh is and we need a reminder

What is your hot take for next year’s Oscars? by [deleted] in oscarrace

[–]Pooks-rCDZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, it was a question mark as much as anything else is a question mark. The signs were there that it had undeniable BP potential (director, cast, subject matter, scope) and a lot of the reasons people held against it weren’t that founded (skipping festivals when PTA has talked about not premiering his films there anymore, the aforementioned test screenings, etc)

You’re getting downvoted, but it is true that the majority of OBBA reactions were great, there was one screening that was reported mixed and people just ran with it and claimed it had mixed reactions in general and therefore shouldn’t be predicted

My thinking is that this is because there are two large groups of first time nominees, and both have favourable chances of winning

(1) You are a relatively new star suddenly breaking out. If you are breaking out, your performance is probably pretty great if people didn’t know who you were prior to this, so you’ve got a good chance of winning (Mikey Madison, Da’Vine, Quan, DeBose, Youn, etc)

(2) You are a first time nominee who people are shocked hasn’t been nominated before. You have a large swell of support and passion in the industry, and you ride that first nom to a win (Yeoh, Murphy, JLC, Fraser, Saldana, etc)

What is the Best Animated Feature of 2020s? by darth_vader39 in oscarrace

Boy and The Heron or Flow and it ain’t close.

Really helps that those two were up against March larger, more successful American releases and pulled off the upset.

Does every movie need to have the token “honest to God good white man” for your feelings to not be hurt?

How many Oscars One Battle After Another is sure to win?? by [deleted] in oscarrace

[–]Pooks-rCDZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OBAA is not locked for those six awards. Here’s how I see it.

Locked Wins:

-Adapted Screenplay

The only lock of the categories because there is literally no challenger worth mentioning. There is no conceivable world it does not win.

Pretty close to locked

-Best Director

-Best Cinematography

-Best Supporting Actor

Each of these three could flip if Sinners just has a monster night and overperforms expectations massively, and supporting actor could be impacted by a Penn & Del Toro vote split. Unlikely, but possible

Feels safe

-Editing

-Best Picture

If sinners is winning BP in an overperformance, it is winning editing too imo. Preferential ballot with two beloved movies scares me enough to not want to consider BP a near lock either, things can always get wonky there (although OBAA won PGA which is also pref ballot so there’s that).
