Both the Musical/Comedy winners at the Golden Globes got snubbed; I think it's been a few years since that happened. Also, JLo, but she was a lead in Hustlers, so whatever (I wouldn't have minded a Brad Pitt snub for the same reason). Oh well, now she's got more time to rehearse for the halftime show! Horror movies have an uphill climb at the Oscars. Get Out lingered throughout the year and was probably a serious threat to win Best Picture. Universal campaigned that movie a lot in its season. That's the kind of support a horror performance usually needs in order to break through with the Academy, so Lupita would have been a pleasant shock. It's not the sort of thing AMPAS normally rewards. Last year showed that AMPAS voters do not like being told what to do or how to think, and some Anonymous Ballot types even said that in those profiles. It's been clear for months that Joker was held in high regard by the industry, however much Film Twitter tried to convince themselves Academy members wouldn't like it or pretended that the Golden Lion was, IDK, just Venice trolling everyone. Because the voters have seemed a bit testy with being "lectured", I also wondered if they would "punish" Little Women somehow. Not really, IMO it did pretty well with its nominations today, but I will be so unsurprised when a couple of Anonymous Voters say they were big LW fans but just didn’t vote for Gerwig in Director because they didn't like being "guilted" into voting a certain way, Kathryn Bigelow let her work stand on its own, etc.

January 10–12. 2020 Estimates: The 1917 expansion comes at a great time for it, just after winning at the Golden Globes and with Oscar nominations being announced tomorrow. Just Mercy does pretty well for a drama without major awards buzz so far. Kristen Stewart has another mainstream flop, but principal production on Underwater wrapped in Spring 2017 and is a 20th Century Fox property, so it's not like Disney had any reason to go all out promoting it. 1 (17) 1917 $36,500,000 (+5,809%) | 3,434 Theaters (+3,423) | $10,629 Avg. | $90M Budget | $39,221,279 2 (1) Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker $15,059,000 (-56%) | 4,279 Theaters (-127) | $3,519 Avg. | $275M Budget | $478,169,690 3 (2) Jumanji: The Next Level $14,000,000 (-47%) | 3,904 Theaters (-230) | $3,586 Avg. | $125–132M Budget | $257,124,981 4 (28) Just Mercy $10,000,000 (+12,952%) | 2,375 Theaters (+2,371) | $4,211 Avg. | $10,435,988 5 (N) Like a Boss $10,000,000 | 3,078 Theaters | $3,249 Avg. | $29M Budget | $10,000,000 6 (3) Little Women $7,650,000 (-44%) | 3,216 Theaters (-92) | $2,379 Avg. | $40M Budget | $74,031,009 7 (N) Underwater $7,003,000 | 2,791 Theaters | $2,509 Avg. | $50–80M Budget | $7,003,000 8 (4) Frozen II $5,761,000 (-51%) | 2,655 Theaters (-520) | $2,170 Avg. | $150M+ Budget | $459,384,042 9 (7) Knives Out $5,725,000 (-36%) | 2,060 Theaters (-82) | $2,779 Avg. | $40M Budget | $139,621,744 10 (6) Spies in Disguise $5,108,000 (-51%) | 2,671 Theaters (-831) | $1,912 Avg. | $100M Budget | $54,616,429 The Grudge $3,500,000 (-69%) | 2,642 Theaters | $1,325 Avg. | $10–14M Budget | $17,906,715 Uncut Gems $3,500,000 (-54%) | 2,081 Theaters (-605) | $1,682 Avg. | $43,466,672 Bombshell $1,500,000 (-63%) | 1,289 Theaters (-432) | $1,164 Avg. | $32M Budget | $27,948,223 Parasite $966,000 (+15%) | 345 Theaters (+123) | $2,800 Avg. | $11M Budget | $25,368,732 Cats $520,000 (-80%) | 818 Theaters (-2,084) | $636 Avg. | $80–100M Budget | $26,359,425 Les Misérables $24,414 | 4 Theaters | $6,104 Avg. | $24,414 * International Box Office: FROZEN II: $912M Overseas Total | $1.371B Global Total STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER: $511.4M Overseas Total | $989.6M Global Total JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL: $414M Overseas Total | $671.1M Global Total KNIVES OUT: $116.8M Overseas Total | $256.5M Global Total FORD V FERRARI: $99.6M Overseas Total | $211M Global Total PARASITE: $105M Overseas Total | $130.4M Global Total SPIES IN DISGUISE: $60.4M Overseas Total | $115M Global Total LITTLE WOMEN: $33.2M Overseas Total | $107.3M Global Total 1917: $21.2M Overseas Total | $60.4M Global Total CATS: $33.1M Overseas Total | $59.4M Global Total THE GRUDGE: $11.2M Overseas Total | $29.1M Global Total UNDERWATER: $7.1M Overseas Total | $14.1M Global Total DOLITTLE: $8.1M Overseas & Global Total

Oscar nominations are announced tomorrow! I miss when it was a simple press conference where they read the names/movies instead of those fancy awkward graphic presentations. Either make a whole primetime special out of it, or just stick to the basics. They could even bring back Mercedes Ruehl (she was in Hustlers)! For this year, I would love to see George MacKay in Best Actor, 1917 is major contender and he's the clear lead who gets a lot to do in terms of acting. I don't have high hopes, the category is just so tough this time around. Last year, Marina de Tavira showed up in Best Supporting Actress without factoring into the precursors. It was kind of reassuring to get proof the voters weren't just checking the same names that showed up everywhere else.

The way I looked at their odds, one of the guys had a more classically handsome face, but the other one was taller, so I couldn't decide which Hollywood preference would win out. Of course, in looking back, obviously it makes more narrative sense if the sidekick has to become the hero and the guy with the brother doesn't make it. I was just surprised by how early it happened in the story. Schofield getting knocked out for hours seems like a bit of a cheat of the one-take conceit, but that wasn't the main draw for me so I didn't feel ripped off or anything. The movie was just gorgeous to look at, when it wasn't horrifying, with all the corpses casually littered around the landscape. Very worried about the long-term viability of Schofield's hand... I wonder how long ago that cow had been milked?

In this interview, Peter says he kissed 12 women on Night 1! He gets some "what happens next" sort of questions and the answers aren't spoilery but some people like avoid that sort of thing:

Peter even name checked Reality Steve in interviews when he mentioned that this season wasn't going to be spoiled. I know that I only resumed viewing regularly when the ending for Jason's season was leaked, and many other viewers wouldn't bother if they weren't any spoilers. But I don't know if TPTB see it that way. Most content creators like control, and RS (along with other Bachelor spoilers) operate outside of that. TPTB concede now that anything filmed in public will leak, but only want any other information getting out on their terms. The show has been around for a very long time, and the higher ups probably don't understand spoiler culture at all or see how it is a good thing for a property like this.

Leo has already won an Oscar for acting while Brad Pitt hasn't (he does have one for producing 12 Years a Slave), so Brad is getting a big push for his "supporting" role now. If DiCaprio were still Oscar-less, I think there would be more urgency about rewarding him for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, though you would probably have people saying the role wasn't "important" or showy enough compared to the competition. Best Actor is pretty competitive this year, so Pitt goes to a safer category and if DiCaprio gets in, great, but there's no urgency for him to win. Last year, Emma Stone had already won Best Actress for La La Land, and her role in The Favourite wasn't the sort that could have gotten her a second Oscar. Even though she had more screentime than Olivia Colman, Emma was pushed in Supporting Actress (along with Rachel Weisz). If Stone hadn't won a couple of years earlier (because Viola Davis goes lead for Fences and wins there?), the positioning/campaigning for The Favourite would've played out very differently. The Oscar "butterfly effect" is an interesting game to play.

Jed would probably fare worse on a show where music is one of the main points, because the other hopefuls would make it even more obvious that singing is not his gift.

Sean and Catherine welcomed another baby a couple of days before Christmas, so he's probably too busy with that right now to be appearing on TV as a Bachelor expert. When is Wells getting married? Maybe he got a little tweak before the wedding, he wouldn't be the first... Ratings:

Remember, Mike Fleiss has claimed that Bachelor Bob slept with five and a half women on his season, the most of any lead, and Bob would definitely be considered as part of the old-school days of the franchise. I do think Peter is moving pretty fast with these women, but the show probably hid more in terms of sex/hooking up in the early seasons, and have gradually been revealing more of that behavior as time has gone on. We've had several years of Bachelorettes who've settled down with their F1, so I don't really mind Hannah B and her atrocious decision-making in her love life. Other past leads have reappeared on later seasons without it being so dramatic for either of them. I don't find it so hard to believe that these people could still have lingering feelings for each other months or years later. Most times, it's just two people a Bachelor/Bachelorettes might be torn between, but Hannah Beast, lol, she is extremely messy. I actually find it pretty realistic for young people who do a lot of "dating" in this era. Peter is also doing a lot of making out here; a lead who wasn't as horny probably wouldn't. The "tell a sex story" group date idea was just weird and guaranteed to be awkward with TPTB bringing back Hannah for it. Probably what they were going for... Last night's ratings are in:

BAFTA nominations are out: This is a group that's never nominated Denzel for acting, so I can't really be surprised at this point. To be fair, they have awarded other non-white actors before, especially if they are British. Also really not surprised by the Joker domination, as it was even bigger (relatively) in the UK, spending 6 weeks at #1 in the box office there. In Europe, there was also never the same degree of pre-emptive backlash it got in the US for being too dangerous/irresponsible to be released.

The prognosticators always claim someone's going to lose the Oscar because they gave a bad/awkward speech at a precursor and it will turn off the voters. The only time I remember someone's award show antics likely ruined their Oscar hopes was when Russell Crowe physically attacked a TV exec about his BAFTA speech getting trimmed from the broadcast, the year he was nominated for A Beautiful Mind. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2002/feb/26/broadcasting Who knows if AMPAS really would have been willing to give Crowe Best Actor back-to-back, but Russell's antics that year didn't help his cause. As for Joaquin Phoenix, it's well known that he's never been the slick, glib movie star type. As long as the talk about him sticks to "Yeah, he's a bit strange but what a talent!" he should be fine, though Joker is still a villain role in a comic book adaptation, and there will be voters who just can't take it seriously. The condensed season will probably limit how much these outside narratives can take hold. Award reporters have noted many voters being unaware of the voting deadlines being as soon as they are, so there might be some WTF nods and snubs come Oscar nomination morning.

Reality Steve tweeted spoilers about the first part of the Episode 1 and did an Instagram Live on the rest. All the tweets are still there. It's a long thread, but here's how the premiere starts: After the "flashfoward", there's a season preview, which includes... Later in the episode: After 30-40 tweets and only getting up to the cocktail party, RS summarized the rest in an Instagram Live. It's expired, but here's a video that goes over all the big Episode 1 revelations. Hannah B and Peter have a very intense conversation about her Bachelorette season and the aftermath, why she asked out Tyler on AFTR and not Peter, etc. Afterwards he's so shaken he cancels the rest of the group date. The first episode is leaning so hard into the Hannah B angle with Episode 1, I don't think it's a total red herring but it would be odd if she doesn't factor in later on, somehow? Unless the underlying theme is Peter's uncertainty and it shifts from being hung up on HB to start, but by the end, he is especially torn between his F2.

The latest version of The Grudge earns an F from CinemaScore, the first movie since to do so since mother! and the first true horror movie to score so poorly since January 2012's The Devil Inside and its infamous ending.

Tom Selleck was offered the Indiana Jones role and would have had it, if not for Magnum P.I. getting picked up as a series. It does sound as though Harrison Ford was considered before that, but George Lucas was reluctant to have a sort of Scorsese/De Niro thing with Ford in all of his movies. The screen test of Selleck in the Indy outfit is on the DVDs and a bit is linked in the article. He tested with Sean Young. Tim Matheson also tested with Karen Allen, and on the commentary, Spielberg mentions Peter Coyote was one of the people they auditioned, too.

Maybe Peter was uncertain about his Final 2 because he still has lingering feelings for Hannah Brown. He tells his producer and the show encourages him to delay his decision with the F2. It's spun to the F2 as, "Engagement is such a serious step and the pressure to make major life decisions in the show's environment is too much for the lead: twice as many Bachelors have dumped the F1 for the F2 and married her, than Bachelors who've married their original pick!" So, ladies, let's just take some time to get to know each other away from the cameras, Peter says. But really, he wants to see if there's still something with Hannah B. Since he didn't pick either girl exclusively yet, he can't really be slammed for cheating. She shows up as part of a group date where they look cozy, so the idea he could still be into her has been made apparent to them. She's not a girlfriend back home who's been kept a secret. Hannah B has been all doe-eyed about how she couldn't have rejoined the upcoming season because it filmed at the same time as DWTS. True, but it's months between November and March, and the show has been pushing her involvement this year quite a bit. My wild guess for the season: on the live finale, Peter splits with both F2 women and offers the final rose to Hannah B. Maybe Tyler C learned of them reconnecting and that's why he deleted all of her photos from his Instagram profile last month.

The Rise of Skywalker does have a better second week drop than The Last Jedi (-67%), but the latter had Christmas Eve in its weekend, a comparatively bad day for the box office (early theater closures + people occupied with other things). Usually, the third installment in a Star Wars trilogy rises from the second movie in popularity while falling short of the first, but TRoS might break the pattern. Disney won't lose money on this one, but attendance has fallen off dramatically from The Force Awakens, domestically ($936 million) and in total ($2 billion). Little Women has the best opener of this week's new movies, though 1917 showed a strong start in limited release.

Pretty early into the video, it's acknowledged that they're comparing the major film adaptations and not literally every version (sorry, 2018). This is why I never mind remakes for rich source material, because there's always something different to be drawn out of each version.

They really love campy musicals in the UK (Mamma Mia outgrossed most of the Harry Potter movies and all of the LotRs there). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films_in_the_United_Kingdom And there are other markets that take to Western musicals in a big way, like South Korea. Perhaps the overseas critics will only see the version with "improved visual effects" and that'll make all the difference. 😄 * The calendar configuration is a little different this year compared to 2015 and 2017, so it isn't as long of a wait, pushing a viewing to Christmas week vs. rushing out opening weekend.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has the worst opening weekend of this latest trilogy. Cats bombs spectacularly, but maybe it will play better overseas.

Want to get the full unadulterated horror? Better see it now! As the article notes, it's an unprecedented move for a studio to update a film's VFX less than a week after its release date. The longform pieces and oral histories about this debacle will be something else...

Looks very Inception-esque. Can't wait!
