Re: 15th Annual WOKJ MP Awards - WINNERS CEREMONY LIVE
Last year saw a dearth of powerhouse acting performances from female leads. The depth was so good that the voters at KJ pulled in a tie and added six gifted actresses to this category. We have 4 ladies portraying wives identifying loss, birth of a child, relationship turbulence and singing to grief. Then we have an eighth grader tackling middle-school along with a troubled woman who is trying to escape from her stalker. Here are the nominees for BEST ACTRESS
CAREY MULLIGAN - WILDLIFE
CHARLIZE THERON - TULLY
CLAIRE FOY - UNSANE
ELSIE FISHER - EIGHTH GRADE
LADY GAGA - A STAR IS BORN
TONI COLLETE - HEREDITARY
And the winner is...

A powerful lead performance can take your out of your reality and transport into the movie's imagination.This year we saw actors in this category that challenged our sexuality, religious beliefs and depth of parenthood in front of crisis. While others played music that brought emotional ache as well as the experience of being in front of live audience. Here are the nominees for BEST ACTOR
ETHAN HAWKE - FIRST REFORMED
NICK ROBINSON - LOVE, SIMON
BRADLEY COOPER - A STAR IS BORN
JOHN KRASINSKI - A QUIET PLACE
RAMI MALEK - BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY
And the winner is...

Wow you started these hella early but I like our winners so far. Spider-Man beating Annihilation in screenplay is the biggest upset so far. Totally killed Annihilation status as Best Picture favorite. I still think Fallout will get screwed by Gerard Butler though, so Infinity War for the win maybe?

I was wondering when someone will show up for these
Re: 15th Annual WOKJ MP Awards - WINNERS CEREMONY LIVE
Also why did we send Emili Blunt to supporting when she's clearly a lead?

BEST DIRECTOR
Alex Garland is an English novelist, screenwriter, film producer and director. Garland made his directorial debut with Ex Machina and was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Writing, Original Screenplay category. He was drawn by the unconventional atmosphere, a very strong yet weird dreamlike aspect of the book ALEX GARLAND - ANNIHILATION
Alfonso Cuaron is a multi-Oscar winner multi-talented filmmaker known for films like Gravity, Y Tu Mamá También and Children of Men. In Roma the director digs deep into his childhood"I think I wanted to understand, to put the pieces together"“[Jorge Luis] Borges talks about how memory is an opaque, shattered mirror, but I see it more as a crack in the wall. The crack is whatever pain happened in the past. We tend to put several coats of paint over it, trying to cover that crack. But it’s still there.” ALFONSO CUARON - ROMA
In his directorial debut this multi-talented 7 time Oscar nominee takes a difficult road to make "A Star in Born". From convincing the studios on the couple to changing his breathing techniques and using his real life experiences this has been an emotional ride thus far for Bradley Cooper BRADLEY COOPER - A STAR IS BORN
Christopher McQuarrie first came into limelight when he won the Oscar for The Usual Suspects. This year he was back in action for another thrilling installment of Mission Impossible franchise. In Fallout tried to get a little deeper into the psychology of Ethan Hunt, and paint a picture of a guy who literally feels like he has to choose between a personal life or the world, tried to get a little deeper into the psychology of Ethan Hunt, and you paint a picture of a guy who literally feels like he has to choose between a personal life or the world, giving an understanding of the loneliness of this character. CHRISTOPHER McQUARRIE - MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: FALLOUT
John Krasinski is famously known as Jim from the television series The Office (US version). This was his third time directing and most of it came by chance. Working for the first time and directing his wife Emily Blunt came naturally to him and that made this movie more closer to his heart. He even added more emphasis on parenthood drawing the emotions from birth of his second child JOHN KRASINSKI - A QUIET PLACE
Re: 15th Annual WOKJ MP Awards - WINNERS CEREMONY LIVE
Ok I may like John over Cuarón here

Check the noms thread bro. She was one vote away from making it for both Supporting and Lead for the same performance. I switched from Lead to supporting at the last minute since that's what she won the SAG for. Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz are also leads in The Favourite but are nevertheless in supporting.

MCQ! Great pick. So we know Fallout was KJs favorite movie and will only lose BP because of a random vote-siphoner. Mau is probably right about AQP taking the top prize though.

Our first Best Picture nominee of the day is a modern horror thriller where a family of four must navigate their lives in silence after mysterious creatures that hunt by sound threaten their survival. "If they hear you, they hunt you." This dialogue-free movie touches upon loss, grief, madness and works as a parenthood metaphor "What would you REALLY do for your kids?". This is A QUIET PLACE

Our second Best Picture nominee of the day is based on Jeff VanderMeer’s best-selling Southern Reach Trilogy where a group of military scientists enter "The Shimmer", a mysterious quarantined zone of mutating landscapes and animals. Written and directed by Alex Garland the story takes us through a different dimension of human-alien hybrid where the existence of human race will be tested. This is ANNIHILATION

This next Best Picture nominee is a cat-and-mouse thriller from Christian Gudegast where an elite unit of Los Angeles County's Sheriff's Department and a gang of ex-military men are on collision course as the criminals hatch an elaborate plan for a seemingly impossible heist -- the city's Federal Reserve Bank. The story revolves around Nick O'Brien (Gerard Butler) and Ray Merrimen (Pablo Schreiber) both use their expertise and tactical skills to get one up on each other. This is DEN OF THIEVES
