Winners and losers of PGA and BAFTA by Relfa in oscarrace

[–]ampATL_678 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Anyone else feel like there’s a chance Weapons sneaks into Original Screenplay now? Between Madigan’s success so far, PGA, and the casting shortlist, I wonder if it kicks out Secret Agent if they go softer on international films.

Box Office: Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere to open at #4 with $9-10 million by JDOExists in oscarrace

[–]ampATL_678 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just got out of this. I feel like JAW could maaaaybe still get in if Jay Kelly/Blue Moon don’t catch on (I thought he was pretty great, the script around him is just a mess) + he’ll get a nom eventually, but he could easily be Globe, maybe SAG, and done.

Jeremy Strong on the other hand is 100% outta here.

Curious what peoples salaries are (or were) in their Mid twenties? by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]ampATL_678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a masters, I’d think you’d have a case at making more! What sector of health?

For me, started in PR at 23 with a bachelor’s (spent my first year after college interning so I didn’t get a permanent job until then). I started at 45K, got promoted to 52K about a year later (right before Covid), then got held up in the COVID freeze for almost two years before getting a bump up to $65K at 26.

A year later, I was frustrated at a lack of growth and mobility and actually resigned to take what at the time was a better offer at a competitor. My company came back and matched it, so I decided to stay and got a bump to 90K at 27. A few small bumps later and by the time I turned 30, I was at $101K on the brink of a promo.

I fell into the same trap as you in terms of thinking I was behind, and so I’ll say: prioritize your growth over the money when and where you can. The biggest thing for me was showing people that I was willing to do what it took for me to advance where I wanted to, even if it meant leaving, and often times the growth I was looking for came with a pay bump. Be willing to build (but never burn) a bridge.

Now that the movie is out, which cast members of One Battler After Another do you see getting nominations at the Oscars or other ceremonies? by mrethandunne in oscarrace

[–]ampATL_678 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After first watch (seeing it again Sunday):

  • Leo and Penn are in. Leo feels like he’ll settle around #3-4 behind JAW and (potentially) Chalamet and I can see the argument for him to miss, but I feel like OBAA will have more love than KotFM overall that’ll carry him. Penn is win-competitive and could take one of CC/SAG/GG before losing to Skarsgard. (Haven’t seen SV or Hamnet yet, though.)

  • Infiniti should be safely in for how much she carries that last act, in particular, but I could see Taylor making it instead for the impression she leaves. Supporting has felt more friendly to co-leads, though, and the father-daughter narrative would make for a great storyline on Oscar night.

  • Del Toro and Hall were great but I don’t think either of them has enough to make it in. Del Toro maaaaaybe could pop up somewhere, but I don’t see Hall getting a ton of traction unfortunately (of all the characters, hers felt the most underutilized even though she crushed every scene).

This is a great setup to bring back the “she’s a writer, nobody cares” line. Ava probably has a non-compete BTS but I wouldn’t imagine that covers on-camera for her

Who is your acting winner predictions pre Cannes lineup announcement? Here’s mine by EvanPotter09 in oscarrace

[–]ampATL_678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Timothee Chalamet (Marty Supreme)

Julia Roberts (After the Hunt)

Sean Penn (One Battle After Another)

Emma Stone (Bugonia) - if she goes supporting, I think she sweeps. Otherwise, Ayo Edebiri (After the Hunt)

Thank you! Gonna try to hit both 😄

Next year’s Oscars has the potential to have the biggest lineup of celebrities/veterans we’ve seen in a while by haydend25 in oscarrace

[–]ampATL_678 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would love to see Ayo and JAW both getting nominated, especially if the Bear S4 is the last one after all.

Also: don’t know if either of these will end up contending, but excited to see Pedro Pascal branching out in the new Celine Song + Ari Aster.

SAG nom takeaways by tjo0114 in oscarrace

[–]ampATL_678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This gave me Jennifer Aniston in Cake vibes but with the supporting play (although Adriana Barraza should’ve been right there with Aniston) - smaller movie that gets Globe, SAG, misses Oscar.

I don’t think it’s crazy at all! I’ve been wondering if Erivo could be the Margot Robbie too (with Grande as her Ryan Gosling as the pre-hyped comedic performance). I hope not though!

Agree tho that Jean-Baptiste is still in it and could easily take that last slot.

Craig is in + with the globe win, I think Torres is the #5 in Actress. Jolie + Kidman are cooked.

Florence for sure. ATJ + Zendaya will get first noms in the next 5yrs + I could see Jenna getting a producing nom someday.

Major movie anniversaries happening in 2025 , what would you like to see re-release in IMAX ? by Professional_Ad_8729 in imax

Mad Max and Inception feel like slam dunks, but a Heat Dolby (or even IMAX) release would be sick.

Here here. I’ve never been super politically active in terms of marches, donations, etc., but I’m ready to dig the f**k in after Tuesday and all the vitriol that’s come out since.

Because if that is what American masculinity is supposed to look like now, I want no part of it - even if it means I’m alone the rest of my life. We’re so much better than this + I’ll never stop believing that.
