Macbeth January 20, 2020 Share January 20, 2020 I really liked that for Rutger Hauer they used his "Tears in the Rain" speech from Blade Runner for the In Memoriam. He wrote that speech himself. 7 Link to comment

I won't be mad if Pitt finally wins, but the same 4 leading the pack all season sort of makes for a dull telecast. Best picture and director are up for grabs, but there isn't much excitement this time. I think the shorter time this season leaves little room for unpredictability. 1 Link to comment

Which is why to be honest, I barely watched the Oscars two years ago. It was nothing against the actors but since I'm hardly some huge Frances McDormand or Gary Oldman, etc. fan, it was just "whatever". And it wasn't just the acting. All the major categories that year was all but sewn up. The only thing that did have some intrigue was Best Picture because it was a close fight between Shape of Water and Three Billboards.

Artsda January 20, 2020 Share January 20, 2020 (edited) I'm excited to see Pitt and Joaquin finally win, even if it's predictable. And there's a surprise, Parasite! Edited January 20, 2020 by Artsda 2 Link to comment
mtlchick January 20, 2020 Share January 20, 2020 Parasite wins? Well then, at least Best Picture is going to be a tough one to call. The Irishman is losing steam very fast. Link to comment

I thought it was a good show but I think it seems more serious for a few reasons: 1) anyone who got a little too drunk happy at the Globes is probably on their best behavior, 2) this is their own guild awarding them instead of 100 foreign journalists so the award automatically means much more, and 3) the Oscar nominations are already announced so the winners here know their chances of winning there have increased dramatically which then has a major effect on their careers. 3 Link to comment

I think when the field got defined and the coast cleared, people realized there are much more creative and fresh films out there. Plus who knows, there may still be a bias against Netflix in the industry. I'm just so happy for Parasite - the little engine that could. Hopefully, this opens more doors for Bong Joon Ho in Hollywood. He really is a creative storyteller. Edited January 20, 2020 by slowpoked 1 Link to comment

Other than the Tom Hanks tribute I enjoyed this show more (and the Robert DeNiro tribute here was really good.) Brad Pitt is coming with the jokes in all his speeches and it's great. I LOVED what DeNiro said about how it doesn't matter if you're an actor, musician, athlete, etc. you have every right to speak up about what happens in this country. Even though he's been losing all of the major awards for some reason I had a feeling Sam Rockwell would win tonight. Clearly he had no idea which might be why he forgot to comb his hair. Jharrel Jerome might need to work on his gracious loser face because he looked kind of pissed. I was livid with the curtain call montage. Once again Elementary was left out. It sucked when they did that at the Emmy's but they left off a lot of shows. This time they were a whole bunch of shows and still it was left out despite being on air for seven years. Luke Perry in the In Memoriam gets me every time! 😭 Joaquin's speech was my favorite, though. So sweet and sincere and cute. I don't know if they just didn't have time or she wasn't in the audience at the time or they weren't prepared for it, but I was almost surprised after he mentioned Heath they didn't cut to a shot of Michelle Williams. But it was really sweet that he mentioned him. 2 Link to comment
bmasters9 January 20, 2020 Share January 20, 2020 Looks like Joey King pulled a Susan Lucci this award season-- she was nominated for all four awards (Emmy, Globe, Critics, SAG), and went 0-for-4, all to Fosse/Verdon! Link to comment

slowpoked January 20, 2020 Share January 20, 2020 So humor me this - I haven't seen The Morning Show, but obviously it was beloved by SAG with 3 noms and a win for Jennifer. If it was that beloved enough, does it make sense for it to miss the Ensemble nom? Link to comment

Elementary--the red headed step-child that never got the love it deserved. Like you said, it was on for seven years, made a shit ton of money for CBS, and hardly ever got any recognition, during or after its run. It will forever annoy me that Jonny Lee Miller was never recognized for his portrayal of Sherlock. <sigh> I wonder how Clyde is doing. Aside from that glaring omission, I enjoyed the show. 1 Link to comment
Ohwell January 20, 2020 Share January 20, 2020 Not that I'd ever want Brad Pitt to get back together with Muff Mouth, aka Jennifer Aniston, but I'd like to imagine smoke coming out of Angelina's ears seeing them together after the SAG awards. 1 2 Link to comment

Crs97 January 21, 2020 Share January 21, 2020 My sisters and I grew up outside Houston and I now live elsewhere. Sometimes people think I have no accent, and sometimes they laugh at how strong it is. Some of my sisters have really thick accents and some have none. It’s kinda fascinating. I wonder if Renee’s nerves play a part in how much Texas comes out. Link to comment

blackwing February 4, 2021 Share February 4, 2021 Here are the nominations: https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/04/entertainment/sag-award-nominations-2021/index.html Happy to see that unlike the Globes, the SAGs got it right and nominated both Steven Yeun and Youn Yuh-Jung for “Minari”. I am puzzled at the nomination for Daveed Diggs for “Hamilton” (and Lin-Manuel’s Globes nomination too). It was literally just video of the stage performance shot some years ago that was later then decided to be put on Disney Plus. The appropriate place for them to award this performance was the Tonys. I like the two performances but I really hope they don’t win. I feel like it is a waste of a slot and took away from others who actually had a new acting performance during the year. 1 Link to comment

I mean, I agree with you in theory and principle, but they could put out a "movie" of every time Daveed Diggs descends the staircase as Thomas Jefferson, and have it only be that, and I'd watch it just as many times as I've watched Hamilton. That man has charisma. I am soooooo disappointed Rhea Seehorn didn't get a nomination. She killed it this year. BCS just doesn't get the nominations and hardware that that show deserves (at least in my head). 1 Link to comment
