Film Awards Talk - 2021

[Peng]

[Ivan Drago]

The MCFCA (aka Music City Film Critics Association aka the guild I'm in) announces their noms on Monday. I'm as pumped as I am anxious for them.

[Philip J. Fry]

Glad for Da 5 Bloods and Wolfwalkers.

[DFA1979]

Da Five Bloods is the only major possible nominee I've seen all year. I'll try and fix that in January.

Maybe they see this year’s dearth of films and decide to use their awards to add fuel and reignite the Film vs TV debate again, bless ‘em. https://awardsworthy.org/images/smilies/smileys/lol.gif

[Ezee E]

And here's why I've been saying they should just combine 2020/2021 award shows.

[Philip J. Fry]

And here's why I've been saying they should just combine 2020/2021 award shows.But the case I pointed out wasn't for a lack of films, they just didn't look for them (e.g. La Casa Lobo or a lot of anime films like A Whisker Away or Violet Evergarden).

[Ivan Drago]

But the case I pointed out wasn't for a lack of films, they just didn't look for them (e.g. La Casa Lobo or a lot of anime films like A Whisker Away or Violet Evergarden).

In my defense, I would have given Lupin III The First (or anything from GKIDS, really) a go if I weren't already super behind on screeners and just wanting to send a complete ballot by the deadline. Plus, I thought GKIDS was going to send screener links like they do every year, but they didn't. It was an odd omission.

Also, I'll disowe you if you nominated Scoob!:p

Nope. I nominated Wolfwalkers, Soul and Over The Moon.

[Philip J. Fry]

Nope. I nominated Wolfwalkers, Soul and Over The Moon.Forgiven.

[Ivan Drago]

Forgiven.

I am eternally grateful. :)

But yeah, I always try to review at least one GKIDS movie every year, so the fact we didn't get screeners from them this year was a big letdown for me. I'm worrying about how they're holding up during the pandemic.

[Mal]

These are worse than I imagined, wow.

[megladon8]

So many IP's.

So much great content.

[Idioteque Stalker]

I can't remember another time a movie was nominated for best director but not best picture.

[Ezee E]

Said it on twitter but:
-Never heard of Music / Mauritarian until today.
-Jared Leto is the most GG Pick in a while. I should've known better than to predict Paul Raci.
-Delroy Lindo needs to be Supporting Actor.
-HFPA patting itself on the back for nominating three women directors... Now watch them vote in Sorkin.
-The Foreign Language rule is so dumb.

Waiting for Gold Derby to update to see how I predicted. I know I got Drama Actress at 100%.

[Skitch]

DELROY LINDO FOR BEST SUPPORTING WAS SO OBVIOUS HOW DO YOU BRICK THAT PICK

[Morris Schæffer]

Colman for the favorite? She already won the Oscar.

[Ezee E]

Colman for the favorite? She already won the Oscar.

Looks like Carey Mulligan is picking up steam. Viola is probably the second?

[DFA1979]

DELROY LINDO FOR BEST SUPPORTING WAS SO OBVIOUS HOW DO YOU BRICK THAT PICK

Because it's the Golden Globes.

[Lazlo]

Because it's the Golden Globes.

SAG passed him over too. He's the lead of that movie, though. It's his emotional journey.

Paul Raci shoulda been there too.

Stunt nominations for the SAG are a joke:

Da 5 Bloods
Mulan
News of the World
The Trial of the Chicago 7
Wonder Woman 1984

Not sure how Tenet doesn't make that list. I haven't seen News of the World so I can't slander that pick, but there's no way a couple of riot scenes in Chicago 7 trumps basically everything that happens in Tenet. No Birds of Prey is a snub too.

[Mal]

D5B at least got the Ensemble Sag nom... good batch:

Da 5 Bloods
One Night in Miami
Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom
Minari
Trial of the Chicago 7

[megladon8]

D5B at least got the Ensemble Sag nom... good batch:

[Dukefrukem]

My parents won't shut up about The Crown.

[Skitch]

My parents won't shut up about The Crown.

I hear lots of people loving on that show. I don't see the appeal. I nominate you to dive on that grenade for us.

[Idioteque Stalker]

Of course the zoom thing was always going to be pretty awkward, but I have to say the nominees did a fine job in general. One wonders if Sacha Baron Cohen would've been quite so bold and funny if he were on stage in front of everyone like normal. Jodie Foster was classic "I'm only here for attendance credit and the teacher actually called on me oh shit oh shit." And of course I geeked every time Andy Samberg and Joanna Newsom were shown looking cute as hell.

Sacha is usually pretty funny in his standup bits.

It worked out as well as it could've. A lot of people gave shit to Sudeikis for looking high and wearing a hoodie, when in reality, it was 3-4 AM in England.

Winners were all over the place, and I expect that to stay the same for this year without the usual parties and weird scheduling.

[Idioteque Stalker]

Sacha is usually pretty funny in his standup bits.

Yeah, you're right. Maybe I shouldn't be so surprised he nailed it.

[Mal]

Andra Day is excellent in The US v. Billie Holiday, but I'm convinced she's going to miss out on an Oscar nom. Jodie Foster on the otherhand, nothing special in The Mauritanian and should miss out- but she's a past winner so who knows?!

Daniel Kaluuya in Judas is the only winning performance thats a lock for a nomination, imo. Boseman could get nominated twice for lead and supporting in Ma Rainey and D5B- or just one of those gets in. Hard to say, which makes it exciting!

Apparently they switched to a more jury-focused system this year, and it shows, because wow, not only are many frontrunners completely absent, but those in their place include some names and even films I have little to no awareness of! Genuinely cool to see!

EDIT: Even with all the unexpected nominees, seeing the sole nod for Da 5 Bloods be Clarke Peters (who, as far as I know, hasn't gotten any other individual accolades for this movie this season) over Lindo or Boseman is the most surprising and interesting.

[Mal]

Tahar Rahim for The Mauritanian is a nice surprise, he was easily the best performance in the film.

Mank!!!

[Mal]

Thomas Vinterberg getting nominated for best director is cool as hell.

Might be my favorite nomination.

[dreamdead]

Like others, I was giddy for the Vinterberg nomination. Would have liked to see Mikkelsen or Lindo get in over Boseman (who is excellent in MRBB, I'm just not sure I like the idea of posthumous nominations when these can help performers' careers) and Yeri Han not be ignored for a more internal role.

Bitter about The Assistant, The 40 Year Old Version and First Cow getting blanked.

[Grouchy]

Now that they've opened the door to foreign movies being nominated in the main category, it's hard not to wonder why they didn't do it for Drunk.

[Idioteque Stalker]

Supporting noms for both Daniel Kaluuya and Lakeith Stanfield is pretty weird. And Dick Johnson snub is most egregious to me.

EDIT: Oh, and despite its 10 nominations, Mank is almost guaranteed not to win best picture since it didn't get recognized for editing or screenplay. Last best picture winner without screenplay nom was Titanic, and before that The Sound of Music. Last best picture without editing nom was Birdman, and before that Ordinary People. I wonder if there's ever been a winner without nominations in both?

I bet Mank goes on a Fury Road-esque winning streak of technical awards before losing to Nomadland. Or possibly Minari? (In that case, get ready for the #oscarsokorean backlash!)

[StanleyK]

What was the point of extending the deadline if only like 3 movies from 2021 were nominated?

[Ezee E]

What was the point of extending the deadline if only like 3 movies from 2021 were nominated?

Feel like it was more of a way to delay the ceremony moreso than trying to get more movies in.

Plus, the studios didn't care anyway and pushed beyond the deadline, minus Judas and the Black Messiah.

Boseman and Kaluuya feel like locks for Oscar. I wouldn’t mind if Davis and Yuh-jung took their wins into Oscar as well.

[Idioteque Stalker]

Big boost to Chicago 7's Best Picture chances.

[Mal]

Does it though? No directing Nom. And the best Ensemble doesn’t always win Best Picture.

[Ezee E]

Does it though? No directing Nom. And the best Ensemble doesn’t always win Best Picture.

Yeah, the Ensemble winner isn't as big of a boost as it's thought to be:
2019 - Parasite
2015 - Spotlight
2014 - Birdman
2013 - Argo
2011 - King's Speech

The favorite to win, Nomadland, wasn't ever going to be an Ensemble win.

I think this does tell us that Minari won't be winning Best Picture as it doesn't have any notable Best Pic winners, mostly due to being shoehorned into Foreign categories, but it probably needed the Ensemble here.

[Idioteque Stalker]

I think this does tell us that Minari won't be winning Best Picture as it doesn't have any notable Best Pic winners, mostly due to being shoehorned into Foreign categories, but it probably needed the Ensemble here.

I think this was mainly my thought process. If Minari was going to have a shot then it needed to win this. Maybe "big boost" for Chicago 7 is overstating it, but ensemble means something to movies on the bubble in a weird year like this.

[Mal]

I think Minari could win BP if it gets Script, Score, and Yuh-jung.
Could see Nomadland take Director, Cinematography, and Editing.

[Idioteque Stalker]

It's Oscar time. Let's see if anything interesting happens.

[Idioteque Stalker]

Both screenplay awards fairly unexpected! Haven't seen The Father -- seems like a big win.

[Idioteque Stalker]

Seems like the stripped-down production allows speeches to go on for a while. Fine by me I guess. I prefer acting clips to these individualized "thank you"s from the presenters, though. Also, the Vinterbergs are a very handsome couple.

[Peng]

PYW's screenplay win is kind of expected (Trial a 2nd choice, which if won would threaten to have its Best Pic chance pretty high), The Father's one is a nice surprise though. Given the late surge from people watching and loving it right around the time of voting, wonder now if Hopkins will upset...

[Idioteque Stalker]

Since Soderbergh has apparently made an awards-wide decision of not cutting speeches off, I'm setting the over/under on Viola Davis' speech at 4min 30sec. That being said, the size of Carey Mulligan's dress screams confidence.

[Peng]

Kaluuya talking about his parents having sex leading to him and then his mom's and sister's reactions lmao

1386480577847595008

[Idioteque Stalker]

Um, what? Best Director presented now?

EDIT: Congrats to Chloe Zhao. Good speech. And a Swankie cameo!

[DFA1979]

Yeah that is weird that they presented director this early. Glad that Zhao won.

[DFA1979]

Kaluuya talking about his parents having sex leading to him and then his mom's and sister's reactions lmao

1386480577847595008

Heh, yeah. Cool that he won though.

[Idioteque Stalker]

With apologies to those special humans who fully appreciate the editing/mixing dichotomy... combining into a simple "Best Sound" category was a good move by the Academy. A very deserving win from Sound of Metal. Also, Riz Ahmed is charming.

[Idioteque Stalker]

I can't tell if Questlove's post-speech record scratching/airhorns are tacky or hilarious or both. Waiting for a speech to end on a super sentimental note to know for sure.

[Idioteque Stalker]

Huh. I really thought Nomadland would win cinematography. Mank is a fine choice though, I guess.

[quido8_5]

Miranda just asked me a question and I'm obligated to respond: first movie seen in a theater? Mine is Jurassic Park. Yours?

[Idioteque Stalker]

Battle of the massive 2021 musical! In the Heights vs. West Side Story.

And the winner is: Music

[Idioteque Stalker]

Two-time Oscar winner Sound of Metal. Cool.

[Skitch]

Miranda just asked me a question and I'm obligated to respond: first movie seen in a theater? Mine is Jurassic Park. Yours?

First I remember is The Rescuers.

[Idioteque Stalker]

Black Beauty for me.

EDIT: Get it Tyler Perry. #refusehate

[quido8_5]

Tyler Perry! #standinthemiddle

[StuSmallz]

Miranda just asked me a question and I'm obligated to respond: first movie seen in a theater? Mine is Jurassic Park. Yours?Aladdin​.

[Peng]

Babe 2: Pig in the City. Still remember I almost hyperventilated laughing at the bungee jump scene.

[Idioteque Stalker]

She may not win, but Glenn Close still happened.

[Peng]

Best Picture before Leading Performances???

[Idioteque Stalker]

Best Picture before Leading Performances???

Wild. I thought it was some kind of lead-up.

[Grouchy]

Mine is also Jurassic Park.

I'm not watching this at all, though. Watching MOVIESH. Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Pieces of a Woman (holy shit) and now wondering whether to pop in One Night in Miami or calm down.

[quido8_5]

Hell fuckin yeah! See it on the biggest screen possible.

[Idioteque Stalker]

McDormand over Davis caused this show to be notably shorter.

EDIT: Yoooooo... Holy shit.

[Idioteque Stalker]

The Father's one is a nice surprise though. Given the late surge from people watching and loving it right around the time of voting, wonder now if Hopkins will upset...

Quoted for truth

[Peng]

The two leading wins are WILD (although Actress was already a 4-way race in which anyone sans Kirby could squeak it out by a margin), and the way the producer clearly structured the ceremony thinking it would end with a Boseman win.... lmao. I guess Soderberg wouldn't be asked back.

[Grouchy]

Wow, I thought Boseman was a lock.

Well deserved for Anthony Lecter, though!

[transmogrifier]

Miranda just asked me a question and I'm obligated to respond: first movie seen in a theater? Mine is Jurassic Park. Yours?


I'm thinking it was.... Labyrinth? That's the first one I remember, anyway.

[Peng]

Hopkins when he finally woke up

[Rico]

Miranda just asked me a question and I'm obligated to respond: first movie seen in a theater? Mine is Jurassic Park. Yours?
Either Bambi or Ghostbusters for me. Both traumatized me in different ways.

Happy about the Hopkins win. Well deserved.

[DFA1979]

Hopkins winning was a shocker for me. As was Francis. I liked Questlove being the DJ. The show could have used a host this year.

Hmm I think Beauty and the Beast was the first movie i remember seeing in a theater back in 1991.

[DFA1979]

Sure Close shaking her money maker was funny but I liked her giving School Daze a shoutout.

[baby doll]

Miranda just asked me a question and I'm obligated to respond: first movie seen in a theater? Mine is Jurassic Park. Yours?Duck Tales: The Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp.

[Ezee E]

+ Happy they actually let people talk. Many of the speeches were heartfelt, emotional, and well-done since they didn't see people raising flags or giving them a countdown. The opening tracking shot to start it off was a neat idea and something I thought they'd do more with throughout.

- Not having clips or really anything from the movies is a huge miss. Many, if not most, of the viewers have probably not seen these movies.

- No real "celebration" of these movies either.

+ I really liked the set and seating arrangement.

- The Memoriam felt like it was on fast-forward.

+ The "trivia" bit, most likely a written bit, was still a fun way to integrate people into doing something. I wish there was more.

+ Glenn Close doesn't give a fuck anymore about winning an Oscar... or she's just putting it all into this Sunset Blvd remake.

- Soderbergh made a "life savings" bet and it didn't hit... What a terrible mistake with a cut to an ending that was more awkward than the Moonlight win. For all we know, Hopkins doesn't even know he won yet. What a huge miss to end it on.

Duck Tales: The Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp.

Heh I also saw that in theaters. Hmm that came out before Beauty and the Beast so maybe that's actually my correct answer.

[DFA1979]

Best Picture should always be last no matter what. I think the Memoriam one was sped up because so many people died last year.

Čudesna Å*uma (The Elm-Chanted Forest), (1986) https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0268282/

And the next one was Arizona Dream (1992).

[Grouchy]

Wow, Arizona Dream, such a beautiful movie to watch in theaters.

It's kind of a tradition to have so many people missing from in memoriam, right? Pino Solanas and Jessica Walters come to mind this year. Monte Hellman, too.

[quido8_5]

Duck Tales: The Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp.

Baller.

What a cluster with the ending. I assumed it was over after Best Picture and turned it off. Only found out after the fact. What a faceplant for Soderbergh after what I found a genuinely charming work around in the age of COVID. That fuckin guy... Not sure if he can't catch a break or catches too many.

[Grouchy]

I didn't watch the ceremony, but isn't there a way to find out if a guy like Hopkins is going to show up or not? Specially after he was so vocal about his quarantine days on social media.

[Ezee E]

He was adamant that he would not be there from the beginning.

I'll need to fact check, but he was apparently willing to zoom from home and got declined. Show producers (maybe Soderbergh... who knows) wanted all people who couldn't make the show to take it from a theater or some spot with better production. I need to fact check that, but it makes sense since they all had actual cameras and no zooms.

That makes sense. I was looking forward to Soderbergh's take, but for the past few years Oscar time always finds me watching movies. The actual ceremony feels like a waste of time and I'll end up watching any good bits on social media anyway.

[Pop Trash]

Miranda just asked me a question and I'm obligated to respond: first movie seen in a theater? Mine is Jurassic Park. Yours?

You know what's fuggin' weird? I think mine was The Secret of Nimh which is what Reese Witherspoon mentioned (I'm old too).

[Mal]

First movie I saw in a theater was Disney’s Cheetah in 1989.

[Ezee E]

First movie I saw in a theater was Disney’s Cheetah in 1989.

Haha. I remember that movie. Think I had a temper tantrum in it and my dad pulled me out of there when I through some popcorn on the ground.
