India did not submit it.

From what I've heard and isn't mentioned in the article, the indian government doesn't like the film director and mess with her in multiple cases that force her to go to court every few weeks or so. 10 years ago she was part of a protest against the new director of the Film and Television Institute of India and it never stopped since then.

All of that's true, but I'm not sure it's even that deep - the committee didn't submit RRR either, and that would have been a sure nomination.

If India didn't want it, why didn't another country adopt it like Germany did for the Rasoulof?

It was on the shortlist of films to be selected by France but they chose Emilia Perez

The Challengers score is good, but Reznor/Ross' score for Queer is unbelievable, and "Vaster Than Empires" should've been an easy nomination for Best Song

Golden Globe winners - moderately surprising wins for Best Actress in both Drama and Comedy, though I think these translate to those two being nominated without necessarily winning (though keep in mind even Julia Roberts couldn't even win the Oscar for her breakout role in Pretty Woman and lost to Kathy Bates in a horror movie, so Madison losing to Moore at the Oscars is not without precedent). I still don't buy that Stan makes it to an Oscar nom for either of his roles, despite the win last night

What do you think Zoe Saldaña’s chances are at the Oscars? She’s one of those actors who have been plugging away in Hollywood for over two decades without much recognition but now has a showy role that takes advantage of her wide ranging talent. Oscar usually likes that (Sam Rockwell et al.)

I assumed she and Culkin are dead certs - distance between them and their nearest rivals.

Posted: **Mon Jan 06, 2025 11:30 pm**

Culkin has it in the bag, and while I think Saldana is the frontrunner, but I think Rossellini still has a shot, being overdue cinema royalty and all.

She is, like Feinnes, but I think both of their performances are too understated to pull of a W

Posted: **Tue Jan 07, 2025 7:31 am**

It's weird that Saldana won Supporting Actress, as she's clearly the lead, but I suppose that gave her a better chance. Moore gave a good performance, but basically won a career and comeback award, as her role in The Substance is so one-dimensional, she's mostly stuck in one register, and Rossellini is barely in Conclave, though that didn't stop Judy Dench or Beatrice Straight from winning.

I'm currently watching The Penguin and Cristin Milioti gives what is my favourite performance of 2024 in it. Glad she was nominated and wished she had won.

Very happy that Flow won Best Animated Feature and hope it wins the Oscar.

From my Twitter feed, it seems loads of Wicked fans have just learned what Emilia Perez is and are royally pissed that it won the GG for Best Comedy/Musical, and "prove" it's inferior by showing the sex-change number.

Posted: **Tue Jan 07, 2025 11:25 pm**

I mean, if there have ever been two musicals made for the Golden Globes, they would be those movies. The stans could cite any number from either film as evidence of its creative bankruptcy and be right, an army of online poker players endlessly showing each other royal flushes

I wonder if they’re going to have to move the whole thing to a new city. Certainly it looks like the case for announcements.

Posted: **Mon Jan 13, 2025 7:22 pm**

I'm happy to run another Oscar contest this year, using the same system as last year, if people are interested. And I'm open to doing a joint points-tally with predicted nominations as well as winners, if folks want to gamble on both.

Posted: **Tue Jan 14, 2025 2:50 pm**

Allegedly the reason the date keeps getting moved is because voting numbers are extremely low due to 60% of the entire Academy living in the LA area. So we could see a nominee list weighted heavily towards the international bloc of the Academy
