Fences screened tonight and, needless to say, we can engrave Viola Davis' name on that Supporting Actress Oscar. This is a Jennifer Hudson/Anne Hathaway situation. And Denzel could be in the hunt for win #3.


Still wish Davis could have campaigned for lead to create one of the most exciting races in many years, but happy that she will finally win one.

She's singing a killer song in a long awaited adaptation of a beloved Broadway musical?


Don't be obtuse. I meant the knowledge that she is winning Best Supporting Actress months in advance without any opposition.

Ugh, I'm sure Viola is great but I was rooting for Michelle to finally take it.

That's silly.

Didn't Joy or Creed or some other film do the same last year?

Me too. :( At least she should get nominated again. One day she'll get an Oscar. Probably more than one.

I wonder why Jim Jarmusch's Paterson is not a contender. It has the best reviews of Jarmusch's career and Jarmusch is an acclaimed filmmaker that has been under the radar for so long. It would be the opportunity to finally show him some recognitin, but even the Spirit Awards did not nominate it for anything. Adam Driver should be in contetion for a Best Actor nom.

I haven't seen it yet, but it seems SO small. A bittersweet, low-key quasi-comedy focused on Adam Driver's travails as a small-town bus driver. And Jim Jarmusch may be too much of a cult figure for there to even be a strong feeling of, "We need to get around to rewarding him for his career."

So, I've seen La La Land yesterday and Hidden Figures and Jackie back to back today. Can't talk about Hidden Figures, there is a ridiculous embargo on it (but, um, it is exactly how you'd expect it after the trailer). Jackie features a phenomenal Portman, but the film is so inaccessible, I thought. Very detached. Now I know why the NBR didn't go for it.

And La La Land. Well, it's winning BP. No question about it.

It's funny how The Birth of a Nation has yet to receive a single mention ANYWHERE.

It is hilarious, indeed. It just dropped straight out of the race.

It hasn't surfaced in many lists yet as far as I'm aware. Weird.

Yet Manchester by the Sea is still gaining steam.

It is better. That's all that matters. And it didn't just come out in the press. Give it a few years and society may forgive Nate. But now he's rightfully in the doghouse.
