The 2024-25 Awards Season Thread

Nikki Glaser gave Howard Stern all of the jokes she cut from her monologue, some of them actually were quite good..


My faves..


The film Anora is nominated for four awards tonight. It’s been called the most unflinching look at sex work since Matt Gaetz’s payment history.”

• “Squid Games is a show where people starve themselves while ruthlessly competing for the ultimate prize. Oh, wait, no, sorry that’s this show.”

Amy Adams is nominated for her performance in Night Bitch, while I was totally snubbed for my performance in ‘Day Slut.”

• “The Wild Robot is nominated tonight. And by that, I mean Nicole Kidman after two white wines.”
 
I read somewhere that Dune Part 2 wasn't submitted in this category.

Hmm. That makes sense, then.

I still think that Dune: Part 2 is getting hurt by its March release. It might not even get a lot of technical awards. Villeneuve is probably only going to get nominated for adapted screenplay and picture, but not for director.
 
The 2025 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) nominations will be announced tomorrow morning at 10:30 EST on Netflix’s YouTube channel here.

Once the nomination list is available, I will post a link to it in this thread.

The SAG Awards will be aired globally on Netflix on February 23.

Update: Due to the California wildfires, the SAG Award nominations will be released via press release on their website.

I will post a link to the press release here once it comes out.

I haven't seen The Last Showgirl, but I love that Pamela Anderson is having such a wonderful career resurgence. She just received a SAG nomination. Fernanda Torres did not, and I think she'll get the Oscar nomination over Pamela, but it's still wonderful to see her new success, and that she's being taken seriously as an actor.

Interestingly, no Sebastian Stan SAG nomination for either of his Globes-nominated films. And no Margaret Qualley either (though Demi was nominated). More Anora recognition at the SAGs compared to the Globes.

Full list of nominees

Thanks for posting the nominations link. 😃

No real surprises in television, IMO.

Did Best Supporting Actress just get more interesting? 🤔

I think Sebastian Stan is getting hurt by the split voting. He was great in both A Different Man and The Apprentice.

Anora is expected to do a lot better at Critics Choice on Sunday than what happened at the Globes.

About The Brutalist, I’m not surprised that Felicity Jones wasn’t nominated, but Guy Pearce also isn’t on here??!! 😳

I would remove Gasćon (Emilia Pérez) and put in both Anderson (The Last Showgirl) and Torres (I’m Still Here).

I guess we’ll see when the BATFA nominees come out on January 15. 🍿

Oh My Godddddddddd

And Jamie Lee Curtis for supporting actress for the last showgirl. When I was watching YouTube videos of people predict category nominations I was hearing a lot of actresses. Pamela Anderson would sneak in for some peoples predictions, but nobody was predicting Jamie Lee Curtis for supporting, Jamie Lee, in her adult years is totally diving into her roles, fully committed… Without fear, she got into this character in the last show girl that I thought was amazing and I’m like why am I not seeing her name floating around for awards and now we finally are.
 
Could you imagine? I am just so thrilled that JLC is getting in supporting.

A lot of it comes down to BAFTA now.

For Supporting Actor, it’s likely that Denzel Washington (Gladiator II) and Clarence Maclin (Sing Sing) are done.

I think we have locked the Oscar five for Best Actor:
  • Brody (The Brutalist)
  • Chalamet (A Complete Unknown)
  • Fiennes (Conclave)
  • Domingo (Sing Sing)
  • Craig (Queer)
Sighs for Hugh Grant (Heretic), and Stan (A Different Man / The Apprentice). 😔
 
Emilia Perez is getting a lot of negative publicity right now, especially with people criticizing the lack of Mexican actors in a Mexican film (casting saying there were no actors 'good enough'), the director/producer saying he didn't do any research on Mexico or the issues presented in the film, as he had his own ideas and thought that was enough, etc. And this is all coming out right now before the Oscars nomination voting starts, so I think it will miss out on a few of the previously expected nominations. I do think that Zoe and Karla will still be nominated, as Zoe is the current frontrunner (according to Gold Derby) and Karla would be the first transgendered acting Oscar nominee. (Elliot Page presented as female at the time of his nomination).

For best actress, I also think that Angelina Jolie shouldn't be ruled out yet. Kind of surprised she didn't get a SAG nomination, but the pessimist in me thinks that Brad Pitt still has a LOT of friends who don't care about horrific allegations, despite the FBI originally preparing a statement of probable cause regarding her claims.

Speeches and 'presentation' at Awards shows leading up to the Oscars do have an effect too. Sebastian's speech was well received, and that could help his chances in sneaking in a nomination (though the split voting could hurt him, and I'm not sure who he'd knock out). Demi's Globes speech likely makes her a lock. Conversely, people had mixed reactions to Zoe's speech, which while she's still likely to be nominated, could affect her chances of winning.
 
UPDATE: The Critics Choice Awards has been postponed to January 26 due to the Southern California wildfires.

————————-
Meanwhile, look at who’s hosting AND being the musical guest on Saturday Night Live on January 25? 👀 🔥 😱

I think Chalamet and A Complete Unknown must be going for broke.

The Oscars nominees will be announced on January 19 and final voting is on February 11-18. I believe this misses BAFTA’s final voting but what if Chalamet wins SAG? 🤔
I had read earlier that the Oscar nominations would be announced on Friday January 17. It means 1/19 is a Sunday. I don’t think they would announce on a Sunday.

Some of these films were able to transcend into the industry award stratosphere and are expected to be seen come Oscar nomination time, while others have a much steeper hill to climb. Marianne Jean-Baptiste for Hard Truths has been sweeping the major critics' awards, and Hard Truths is getting a lot of love too. However, I don't expect her to get a nomination, and she'll likely join the long list of actors who have swept or won a ton of pre-industry awards only to not receive any love from the industry awards, such as the Oscars, for a Mike Leigh film... past examples:

  • Allison Steadman (NSFC) and Jane Horrocks, Life is Sweet
    • Steadman, Actress: NSFC and Horrocks, Supporting Actress: LAFCA and NSFC
  • David Thelewis, Naked
    • Best Actor: Cannes, NSFC, NYFCC
  • Sally Hawkins for Happy-Go-Lucky
    • Best Actress: Alliance of Women Film Journalists, Berlin Film Festival, Boston, Golden Globes, LAFCA, NYFCC, San Francisco.
  • Lesley Manville, Another Year
    • Best Actress or Supporting Actress: London Film Critics Circle Award for Best British Actress of the Year, National Board of Review, NSFCA, San Diego, and Santa Barbara Film Festival.
  • Timothy Spall, Mr. Turner
    • Best Actor: Cannes, National Board of Review, NYFCC, NSFC
Brenda Blethyn and Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Secrets & Lies, and Imelda Staunton, Vera Drake, were the Mike Leigh actors who were able to get an Oscar nomination following critical accolades.

I've seen a lot of people talking about how ridiculous it is that Marianne Jean-Baptiste hasn't gotten any of the major industry nominations. Especially since she's the first Black woman to sweep the trifecta of film critics awards (NYFCC, LAFCA and NSFCC) and she's not even in the conversation for the Oscars. She has at least a shot at a BAFTA nomination. Probably a better than average shot considering she is British in a British movie. But it is a shame the other major awards bodies don't seem to have paid much attention to the buzz from the critics associations around her performance.
 
Kieran Culkin is dominating Supporting actor. Oscar chances are getting better and better.

I am glad that I saw ‘All we imagine as light’ last week. It is getting a lot of attention from critics.
 
I’ve revamped my Oscar supporting actress list, I really think Aunjanue Joy Taylor, has a great chance of getting in but here’s my revised

Zoe Saldaña
Ariana Grande
Isabella Rossellini
Margaret Qualley
Jamie Lee Curtis
 
Oscars: Nominations Voting Extended and Announcement Delayed Again, Nominees Luncheon Canceled (Jan. 13):
Excerpt:

As the catastrophic Los Angeles wildfires rage on nearly a week after they began, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences — four governors and a former CEO of which lost their homes to the flames, The Hollywood Reporter has learned — has decided to reconfigure its Oscar season timetable for a second time out of sensitivity to the SoCal community, which is home to some 60 percent of its roughly 10,000 members.

Academy CEO Bill Kramer and president Janet Yang shared in a statement on Monday that the 97th Academy Awards has not moved from its date of Sunday, March 2, 2025, which is 48 days from today. However …

The Oscar nominations voting window, which began at 9 a.m. PT on Wednesday, Jan. 8, and was to have ended at 5 p.m. PT on Sunday, Jan. 12, and then was extended until 5 p.m. PT on Tuesday, Jan. 14, has now been extended to 5 p.m. PT on Friday, Jan. 17.

The Oscar nominations announcement, which was originally scheduled for 5:30 a.m. PT on Friday, Jan. 17, and then was extended to an unspecified time on Sunday, Jan. 19, will now take place at 5:30 a.m. PT on Thursday, Jan. 23. It will be televised, as usual, but this year there will not be any press in the audience.

• The Oscar Nominees Luncheon, which was originally scheduled for Monday, Feb. 10, has been canceled. (As in recent years, nominees will still be invited to small dinners, closer to the date of the Oscars ceremony itself, with others who are nominated in their category.)

• The Scientific and Technical Awards, which was originally scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 18, has been postponed. It will be rescheduled at a later date.
 
Obviously not the most important thing right now, but I'm wondering if the Oscars will end up being moved to New York or another major city in light of the destruction in LA.
