Happy for Anna Sawai. That was a tough role in Shogun and she was perfect.

Liked Kathy, Keira and Keri too.

Colin Farrell and Kidman did the beguiled, I mean there’s so many people in this room they’ve done movies with each other

 

[ilovepaydays]

I think only Best Motion Picture-Drama Actor & Actress and both Best Motion Pictures are left, right?

Did anyone have their volume up enough to pick up what Sofie Vergara was yelling?

Thank you.

She's not the one who was robbed though, it was Cristin Milioti. But I will move on.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I want underdog Pam Anderson

Actress (Motion Picture) Drama: Fernanda Torres "I'm Still Here"

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Wow, another one that was not predicted to win, Fernanda Torres.

 

[ilovepaydays]

WHOA!!?? Fernanda Torres!!!!??

And……Angelina Jolie (Maria) and Nicole Kidman (Babygirl) are likely done this awards season.

Actor (Motion Picture) Drama: Adrian Brody "The Brutalist"

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

WHOA!!?? Fernanda Torres!!!!??

And……Angelina Jolie (Maria) and Nicole Kidman (Babygirl) are likely done this awards season.

I know now I’m trying to finalize my five for the Oscars

Demi Moore, Fernanda Torres, Cynthia Erivo, Karla Gascon and who is the fifth….. I guess Mikey Madison

 

[PRlady]

Wow, another one that was not predicted to win, Fernanda Torres.

Who I literally have never heard of.

Ugh Adrian Brody.

Jolie didn't make the short list for the BAFTA's, so yes, she's probably done.

Mikey Madison and Demi Moore have split most of the critics circle awards and other smaller precursors. Up until very recently she was the front runner for Best Actress so I would be very surprised if she wasn't at least nominated.

My ex husband and I, who met working at the Holocaust Museum, were very cynical about Holocaust movies winning awards. I’ll spare you our theory but blech.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Mikey, Angelina and Nicole were my three locks last month now I’m not sure about any of them

 

[ilovepaydays]

WAIT. This is Adrien Brody’s first Golden Globe? He didn’t win for The Pianist?

Unless he wins SAG, Timothée isn’t winning the Oscar. GEESH, he’s been having one of the weirdest Oscar campaigns ever.

I think that’s likely the Oscar five.

Adrian Brody's brooch is ice dance worthy.

 

[ilovepaydays]

Well….this isn’t running too long over……

Nope

I don't like him because he thought he was allowed to kiss Halle Berry just because he won an Oscar. Ick. I don't think I've seen a movie of his since then.

 

[PRlady]

I haven’t forgotten Adrian’s unwanted forcible kiss of Halle Berry. Yuck.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I remember it well

I can’t see the Brutalist before Jan 9, its first day here. I better buy the ticket in advance.

It’s a sweep - BP, Director, Actor for The Brutalist.
I didn’t expect this, although it received rave reviews.

I loved Adrien Brody in The Pianist. I didn’t see much of him after that. Just a cameo in Midnight in Paris. May be he didn’t get really good roles after The Pianist. I read that he is 51 now. He was 29 when he won the Oscar for The Pianist. So a lot of years have passed.

Best Picture (Drama): "The Brutalist"

How many films in the comedy/musical category

My ex husband and I, who met working at the Holocaust Museum, were very cynical about Holocaust movies winning awards. I’ll spare you our theory but blech.

I've actually always wondered about that. Does it have anything to do with happy endings when so many suffered and so few escaped a dreadful fate?

As I understand it, isn't this movie more about an immigrant with an addiction problem more than the Holocaust?

Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy): "Emilia Perez"

That’s mostly everyone so far. Apparently, The Brutalist is epically good.

But that’s been my biggest beef with this awards season. A lot of people want to see these movies (The Brutalist, Nickel Boys, September 5, etc.) But the production companies (A24, Paramount) loves to do limited releases with these for some reason. Which is crazy considering how low budget these films are. The Brutalist was made with only $10M, for example.

Best Picture (Drama): "The Brutalist"

Not surprised. Especially after Corbet won director.

Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy): "Emilia Perez"

LOL. Nobody here who has seen this movie seems to like it. Why do the critics love it?
