That was a shock.

I also just realized that Avatar: Fire and Ash got basically ignored. Was it not screened anywhere? And the critics apparently forgot that Sentimental Value is a foreign language film. 🤭

The Golden Globe nominations will be announced on Monday.

And here are the nominations.

Is Wicked: For Good cooked?

Now that I’ve had rest of the day to think about these nominations……some more thoughts:
  • Marty Supreme underperformed. It really needed to also get nominated for Director (Josh Safdie) and Score (Daniel Lopatin).
  • I guess Pluribus is a good show? 🤔
  • The Comedy TV categories are kind of a snooze fest right now. 😴
  • The Best Podcast category is stupid, IMHO. But LOL that New Heights & the Kelce brothers didn’t get nominated. 😆
  • Frankenstein and Train Dreams are on a roll!
  • If you’re from outside the U.S., you need Neon to pick up your film! 😉
  • We might end up with the most international field ever for Best Picture at the Oscars! And it’ll be totally deserved! 🇳🇴 🇫🇷 🇰🇷 🇧🇷
  • I think that Wicked: For Good and Jay Kelly are in trouble.
  • The Testament of Ann Lee is likely toast.

Meanwhile, over at Chalamet Land, Timothée is talking like this.

This is probably my best performance, you know, and it’s been like seven, eight years that I’ve been handing in really, really committed top-of-the-line performances. And it’s important to say it out loud because the discipline and the work ethic I’m bringing to these things — I don’t want people to take it for granted. I don’t want to take it for granted. This is really some top-level $h!t.

Is Timmy not aware of the acting legends who haven’t won an Oscar? 🙄

Harrison Ford
Ralph Fiennes
Samuel L. Jackson
Peter O’Toole
Richard Burton
Michael Keaton
Liam Neeson
Willem Dafoe
Glenn Close
Bill Murray

If Leo (OBAA) ends up beating him and winning a second Best Actor Oscar (which many people think he should have already, anyway), I will laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.

😂 🤭 😆

Sounds like a "pick me" sort of statement if he has to do all the self-affirming publicly. I thought his publicly flacks were already getting out the quotes supporting his "amazing and daring" performance.

I’ve thought Bradley Cooper had been too desperate to win an Oscar. Timothée is starting to get worse. And he’s apparently refusing to do anything in television ever again.

I’ll admit this: I still don’t understand this relationship with Kylie Jenner. 🫤

I found him amusing at first but he’s really gone too far. Bradley Cooper was down right meek compared to Timothee. He already has an amazing career and can get almost any role he wants. No need to be this desperate and entitled.
 
The thing about Timothee for me is, I don't think I've seen him in a movie I didn't like. He's picked some pretty good projects so far. He is my favorite younger actor even if I think he's a bit too full of himself as a person. And no, I don't get his relationship with Kylee either (Kris and Caitlyn Jenner as potential in-laws? Eeewwwww). But he does seem to have a type. His other serious relationships have been with Lourdes Leon and Lily-Rose Depp. While not identical, they do have a similar look.

Sounds awfully egotistical; almost childish ( or should I say the T word? Not in this forum obviously :)
 
The Oscars shortlists are now out! 🤔 🤓

Nuremberg and Sirât 🇪🇸 are doing much better than I thought that they would.

Things are not looking good for It Was Just an Accident 🇫🇷 (🇮🇷) and No Other Choice 🇰🇷.

How are Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery out in Casting and Weapons out in makeup? ☹️

The nominations will be announced on Thursday, January 22.

I guess it’s not getting nominated for Adapted Screenplay, either. Here are the likely contenders:
  • One Battle After Another
  • Hamnet
  • Bugonia
  • Frankenstein
  • Train Dreams
  • No Other Choice
  • Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
SIGH 😔

Where are you seeing that list? I don't see anything about Screenplay at the link. (And also, you have WUDM on it.)

Screenplay isn’t one of the awards that’s shortlisted. I’m basing my contender list on the chatter I’ve seen and what others have been predicting on the Award Expert app. I’m seeing the above seven films as contenders and there are only five slots.

Gotcha. But wouldn't it be in Original Screenplay? It's not adapted from anything that I know of.
Click to expand...

I think the Academy considers it adapted if it’s part of a film series. I just looked it up - Knives Out was nominated for Original Screenplay but Glass Onion was nominated for Adapted Screenplay.

Really? That is weird!

Here’s an explanation for Glass Onion.

The movie was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay because, under the Oscar rubric, any sequel goes into that category. You don't just have to be directly adapted from a novel or film to count as an adaptation for the Oscars; being based on any kind of previously established material is what matters. Since Glass Onion carried over the character of Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) from the first Knives Out, it is technically an adaptation.
