LP awards talk

[d]

Do you think no nomination for editing, actress and supporting actor may affect chances in the screenplay category? (Which is the only one out of the three that can happen, isn't it?).

[itwasgood]

Thought Picture and Director might bring at least one acting nom along, unfortunately Alana got snubbed.

[Yes]

Yes. I don't think it will win that. Branagh will be the favorite for it. McKay might even win the WGA even though he was DGA and Oscar snubbed for Directing

No Alana

[pynchonikon]

After the Alana/Andy/Bradley omissions I was expecting PTA getting snubbed in BD as well, yet hopefully he made it. Feels weird that it managed to get 3 major noms and nothing else, but I assume they considered PTA as the real MVP of the film.

[Find Your Magali]

PTA now has 11 Oscar nominations in his career.

Looks like Original Screenplay is his only shot, and that category is very precarious, with the biggest obstacle probably being that it's the best spot to reward Branagh for Belfast.

Me too, but it's (sadly) understandable reasoning. It's his equivalent of Short Cuts getting only Director lol

[max from fearless]

I can't believe they snubbed Bradley. Alana was incredible, but it obviously wasn't 'showy' enough for them (look at the nods - Penelope did knock it out the park for Parallel Mothers though) but Bradley as well? Also Production design and Costumes again, probably not showy enough, despite all the incredible work on display. Can't believe I live in a realm where Dune gets noms over a PTA flick...I'm sour over this...

Yeah, I don't think this is winning screenplay anymore.  Its best chance probably would've been if Sorkin got nominated and split votes with Belfast. Now that TWPITW was nominated instead, it will probably split votes with this allowing Belfast to win.

At least he's racked up the Director nominations. I think he's caught up to Tarantino and Fincher now.

Yep. Worst Person will steal the hipster and highbrow votes that PTA otherwise would have had 99% of

Kinda like Green Book winning over Favourite because it split with First Reformed. Belfast isn't winning BP thankfully but still

[RudyBlatnoyd]

Not directly related to LP, but I just have to comment that Drive My Car must surely rank as one of the most challenging and highbrow films ever to be nominated for Best Picture. Great movie, by the way! Kinda hope it wins because I'd love to see Hollywood give Hamaguchi a sizeable budget to do something. Obviously it won't win.

I can't believe they snubbed Bradley.

I don't quite understand the over-the-top love Bradley Cooper has gotten for this role. He was entertaining in it, but he was basically just giving a performance he's given many times before (dating all the way back to Wedding Crashers). As far as supporting performances in the movie go, I thought Penn did more interesting work, Safdie did more interesting work, Joseph Cross did more interesting work, and the MVP of the whole damn movie was Harriet Sansom Harris.

Plus Bradley is in the movie for all of what, 5 minutes?

Well, this should definitely keep him in business with MGM.

Honestly, JK Simmons is hardly in his movie for much longer (just more spread throughout) and was nominated
