Finally watched the Farewell and Awkwafina seems likely to win best actress for this, but what do I know.

If the Oscars follow the Golden Globes as slavishly this year as they did last, it’ll either be Awkwafina or Zellweger. My money’s on the latter.
― Maria Edgelord (cryptosicko), Saturday, 11 January 2020 23:34 (four years ago) link
I know not a single critic excited about Zellweger or 1917 but they ended up as finalists in my film critics circle.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 11 January 2020 23:50 (four years ago) link
It's as if the point is not to get excited.
Excitement is bad for many critics' blood.

Green Book winning last year, and the Best Actor trophy being the Best Celebrity Imitation award more often than not in recent years, have trained me to expect no surprises this year. I fully expect Sam Mendes, Taron Egerton and Rene Zellweger to go home happy on Oscar night.
― Maria Edgelord (cryptosicko), Sunday, 12 January 2020 00:12 (four years ago) link
agree with best actor being the 'celebrity imitation award' although best actress is maybe as bad - The Iron Lady, Walk the Line, La Vie en Rose, The Queen
from what I've read the consensus prediction this year seems to be that Joaquin Phoenix will win best actor
― Dan S, Sunday, 12 January 2020 00:26 (four years ago) link
he was pretty good, whatever you think of the movie.
― akm, Sunday, 12 January 2020 16:14 (four years ago) link
Awkwafina may not even get nominated. She was passed over by the SAG Awards, which lately tends to be the best Oscar predictor. On the other hand, I'd say only Zellweger and ScarJo are locks.

Who the fuck is interested in watching another war movie. UGH. ( i discovered the existence of 1917 during the GG).

they just need to give a participation award to a war film and biopic every year.

yeah Phoenix will likely win

Phoenix was hammy but I'm hard pressed to think of many other standout performances by male actors in anything else this year; I'm sure De Niro will get nominated but he was frankly better in Joker too than he was in Irishman (I like Irishman but it's by-the-books Scorcese); Taron Egerton was extremely good though.

Nathaniel Rogers is predicting it for original screenplay, though he seems to be in the minority.

Saw 1917 this afternoon. It's more entertaining and engrossing than Dunkirk or other recent war pics, but it didn't leave a strong impression either. Found myself suspending lots of disbelief as the poor lead gets pummeled in various ways. Was hoping to hear Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" during the ending credits.
