Surprisingly no foreign language actors. (Wagner Moura is a SAG actor if that matters...or I guess not if he wasn't nominated anyway.)

[beamish14]

No Amanda Seyfried for Testament of Ann Lee is ridiculous. It’s a shame that it and The Left-Handed Girl are both getting shafted by critics associations

[domino harvey]

The Golden Globes have cut the score category from their broadcast to make room for their new podcast award. Some on the awards forum think this means Sirat won it btw

Hamnet won the coveted AARP Movie for Grownups Award, which significantly alters the Oscars betting odds

Golden Globe winners

[thirtyframesasecond]

I only saw clips of the Globes, mainly Wanda Sykes ripping into Ricky Gervais and Bill Maher, and Judd Apatow "amusingly" getting Jafar Panahi/Joachim Trier's hopes up for Director.

There was a lot of cringeworthy garbage, including a bit about the UFC that I genuinely didn’t understand. Pretty terrible opening from Glaser as well.

[Matt]

The UFC recently signed an exclusive deal with Paramount+. That was a really terrible, ill-advised cross-promotion stunt which also drew attention away from the lovely "Heated Rivalry" boys who had to present to a very confused audience.

I thought Glaser's opening was actually pretty good, at least in comparison with Chelsea Handler's agonizingly endless opening for the Critics Choice Awards last week. Everybody seems to be going for lowest common denominator raunchy jokes these days, but at least Glaser made herself the butt of the jokes.

There's a red carpet host on E!, Justin Sylvester, who ought to be locked up for the sexualized "jokes" he springs on his interviewees and thinks he can get away with because he's a "sassy gay guy." He said "you're my hall pass" to Justin Hartley's face last week. Imagine if a straight man said that to a woman—essentially "my wife says I'm allowed to fuck you."

[Never Cursed]

Why do you think the Panahi will miss?

[domino harvey]

He has missed over and over and yet keeps getting predicted. I just don’t think enough people will vote for it and there are already an unusually high number of foreign films in contention ATL, many of which are stronger. It’s plausible but not, I think, probable

[Never Cursed]

Fair enough. Anything as long as Avatar 3 doesn’t make it in.

[domino harvey]

I for one hope I’m wrong about Wicked but that’s my insurance prediction against more NGNG calls like Seyfried (they throw a bone to unpopular outliers in this category every so often, will it be her this time? Probably not but I still think Reinsve misses and who else is there, Kate Hudson? Does anyone who is not Kate Hudson think she’s happening?)

[thirtyframesasecond]

I assumed the Neil Diamond film was an actual biopic of Neil Diamond, but apparently not quite????

Ethan Hawke was been nommed for Actor across most of the other awards so would be surprised if he missed out, but Jordan is likely to be in the mix given that Sinners is predicted to get a historic number of noms (it will win few on the day though). Reinsve might be 5th of 5 in the Actress race - the only other performance the bookies are suggesting is Jennifer Lawrence?

[soundchaser]

I’d raise an eyebrow if Wicked got a BP nom, based at how poorly it seems to be faring in the techs, where its broadest base of support should theoretically be. But I also consistently overestimate the requirements for BP support.

[Never Cursed]

UGH. A bunch of disappointments (Kate Hudson over Chase Infiniti, Wunmi Mosaku and Amy Madigan over Regina Hall and Odessa A'Zion), but worst of all I was clearly worrying about the wrong blockbuster. While I'm pleased that I will have to see neither Wicked nor Avatar, is there some kind of Woosh Go The Cars voting bloc that explains Ford v. Ferrari and now F1? Also, evidently the voting body liked Sinners quite a bit for Lindo to manage a nomination over Mescal.

[domino harvey]

Cannot believe Hudson happened over Infiniti, unreal. Surprised Blue Moon couldn’t go the distance with its high profile nods as well

Happy for the Lindo boosters, I know a lot of people were let down he missed for the Lee movie a few years back

Is this the most relevant International Film five of all time?

[Never Cursed]

Wait, No Other Choice completely whiffed too - Hind Rajab prevented the total Neon sweep of International Feature. Wonder why.

[Grand Wazoo]

I just want to emphasize Perfectly A Strangeness as one of my favorite doc shorts in recent memory and, if you've seen it, the sheer unfathomable idea of it eventually getting an Oscar nomination. I still think the award will go to The Devil Is Busy which is co-directed by Geeta Gandbhir who is also the director of The Perfect Neighbor. Has there ever been a double nom like that before? Here's hoping people who vote for her for feature think "one is enough, how about that donkey movie!"

[Never Cursed]

Sinners broke the record for most Oscar nominations for a single film (16), which was previously a three-way-tie (for 14) between All About Eve, Titanic, and La La Land. Shame that it stinks.
