Oh God she’s going to win the Oscar isn’t she

Depending on how much money it makes it could potentially win Best Picture too

The front runners are Anora and The Brutalist and existentially threatened Hollywood would love to give it to a movie people have seen

I have yet to see Anora but everyone I know who has raved about Madison.

I should win but I’m probably too young, sexy and beautiful to have two.

OP just wants to whine about "Hollywood liberals"

Snooze. Go back to Truth Social

[quote]the first Black-Black actress to do so.

She looks green.

I hated the stage version, no, I mean HATED it! I'm not gonna try to sit through the film version.

The first act is over an hour and a half long, and is very boring. I don't know how those tweens could sit through it! The music sucks and the characters get on your nerves. For the life of me, I'll never understand how such a self-indulgent crap-fest can be so popular. Ok, on second thought, maybe I can...

R4 even liberals hate Hollywood liberals.

Her personality is the worst, she is just waiting to be offended.

Erivo accepting her Oscar...

"I'd like to thank the Academy first and foremost...."

I hate that she took a role away from a green actress.

Dax Shepard asked how she wipes herself after going to the bathroom with her nails. OY VEY

Did he really... gee, what I miss by not listening to podcasts...

I want Demi to win, but the odds are slim, right?

I wasn't a fan of the musical but I love that song. I am interested in seeing the movie.

Moore’s nomination is her win. She will be nominated over Nicole Kidman who everyone has had enough of.

Assuming the movie does well - it’s tracking for a 150 opening - it would be extremely hard to make an argument against Erivo. Hollywood. She would have to irritate everyone in Hollywood to death.

CYNTHIA ERIVO: Oooh, a challenge!

Would be nice to see a (dark) black actress win especially with all of this year’s discourse.

It's not going to win the the more international and younger make up of the academy since they made changes.

Poor Viola

It is looking to be weak year for Best Actress, isn’t it?

There’s praise for many, but no stand out yet.

The strikes halved half this year’s output.

R10- I hope this woke LUNACY starts to disappear now.

Netflix has Emilia Perez and is pushing trans actress Karla Sofia Garçon for best actress and Zoe Saldana as best supporting actress despite the fact that Saldana has more screen time than gascon.

I think Demi Moore will get in, the movie is universally praised. If Ervio’s reviews continue to be positive she’s in. Madison’s performance is universally praised though I think the nomination is the reward. Ariana Grande like Saldana will be category frauded into supporting actress despite being a co lead.

Erivo’s speech would make JLC look humble.

It’s somewhat socially acceptable to be a complete narcissist if you’re fairly good looking, but when you’re as hideous as Erivo is (sorry, cunt), you can’t get away with it. Being that goddamn ugly and that goddamn self-important is…a lot.

I liked Anora but I would roll my eyes if Mikey Madison won the Oscar. You know the horny old male voters can’t wait to vote for her.

I can’t tell if DL or the Academy hates black actresses more.

Speaking of which weht blacktress Janice Hubert

The awards stuff and soap opera stuff and explicit porn stuff is what I dislike and ignore on DL.

She's gonna win because she's black? No wonder Trump won.

Angelina Jolie will win for her performance as Maria Callas in "Maria."

R30 They’re certainly going to push her hard. When I watched the trailer, I was surprised the words “FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION” weren’t scrolling at the bottom.

Hollywood is completely out of touch.

By the time the Oscars come around Cynthia will be 38 years old, and she has her Tony, Grammy and (daytime) Emmy.

Wicked will be a huge hit and she's getting great reviews for it.

Why wouldn't the organisation set up to promote films and recognise excellent recognise an excellent performance in a massively populaaar film when the alternatives are just so blah?

Were Erivo to win the Oscar we’d all see Ariana Grande actually do some real acting.

Grande may very well win the Oscar herself.

The racists sure love to point out how ‘ugly’ she is.

Uhmmmm. Okay....

It’s of little consequence nowadays since movie attendance has plummeted in recent years.

She should just get half an Oscar since it is only half a film.

If the Academy gave me half an Oscar like they did to Miss Hepburn, I'd throw it in their faces. You see, I'm an Aries. We never lose.

r13, yeah horror has never been nominated- it has to be a "thriller" like "Silence of the Lambs", or something like "Misery" that had very little graphic gore.

I think it'll perform like "Barbie" at the Oscars.

[quote] She would have to irritate everyone in Hollywood to death.

That's just another day in a week for Cyn.

Fuck off OP. I'm sick of this shit. Halle berry is black and black. Enviro is not even American. I hope she wins tho.

R36 she is objectively ugly. It wouldn't matter if her skin were white as snow. She still looks like a fucking demon.

NY Times review is mediocre

The Exorcist was nominated. The awards queens are pushing the tranny for best actress and her costar zoe Saldana for supporting. Emilia Perez has mixed reviews and Saldana has more screen time than Karla Sofia gascon the trans actress. I can’t see AMPAS nominating 2 actresses from different musicals in one category.

It would be a fun season if Pamela Anderson, Demi Moore, and June Squibb made it in.

R,46, that was 51 (!) years ago. I think aside from Misery and The Shape of Water (which was pushed as a dark fantasy), no other actressesses have been nominated. Actor for Get Out, but the Academy loves Daniel K.

The quality of performances or even the films means nothing currently.

The Academy has wholly tasked itself with box checking each category to have deserving non-whites to be able to point at. Each year some must be winners, or the whole thing has failed. No wonder nobody watches the lousy show anymore. I'm surprised members even watch the films at all. Maybe they don't, yet the know who DESERVES to win!

R48 Stop your handwringing and lying. Most of the winners are still white. I’m so sick of the lies. A minority winning doesn’t mean it wasn’t the best performance. First of all, there is no pinnacle or “best of” in art because it is all subjective. Except Queen Bey, obviously she is the greatest thing ever. But back to the Oscars, the winners are usually among top 2 performances as deemed by critics, and the other awards shows throughout the season. Whichever one of those 2 put on the best campaign usually wins. If minorities use their ethnicity as part of the narrative, then so be it. Whites benefit from the legacy of institutional racism so that completely flips it on its head in a brilliant way.

And nobody watches the Oscars anymore because there are 1000 fucking tv options and we see celebrities 24/7. Many people do not even have cable anymore, and certainly not antennas to just put on regular tv. It was easier to flip on ABC during those times, than it is to find what streaming platform is hosting it. You are an idiot and don’t know shit about changing tv viewership habits.

Go sleep it off, you white, cosplaying junkie.

R51 Stay mad and using that old lie everytime I own you. I’m guessing it’s your lame stalking ass.

R7, we all hate conservatives.

R48 is just making stuff up. They constantly award mediocre white actors like Brie Larson and Natalie Portman but you're whining about minorities

R54 right Jennifer Lawrence has an Oscar for Silver linings and Glenn is like 0 for 11. Jennifer Lawrence was not even the best that year.

R36 You can’t blame everything on racism. She can be “not pretty” and it have nothing to do with race. .

Teacake sounds so much like a T-addicted, puerto rican/black acquaintance I have it's almost uncanny. Very similar writing style. But that acquaintance hates the black side of himself so it couldn't be. Not that teacake is really what it claims to be. Other than addicted to T of course. That's real.

[quote]Fuck off OP. I'm sick of this shit. Halle berry is black and black. Enviro is not even American. I hope she wins tho.

Halle Berry’s mother is a white English lady

R58 so what Halle Berry doesn’t look specifically biracial beyond being light brown with small features. There millions of black women who look like her with two fair skin AA parents.

R30 No because nobody likes Jolie.

Racist OP strikes again.

[quote]It would be a fun season if Pamela Anderson, Demi Moore, and June Squibb made it in.

I agree, I could totally go for this. I actually believe Demi has a decent, real shot this year for a nom.

Alien, I guess you missed the new rule which states that if your movie doesn't check off the requisite "diversity" boxes it cannot be nominated for Best Picture, huh?

R63 I thought that was just a rumor. How did Oppenheimer win best picture this year you disingenuous cunt.

If I were you, Teacunt, I wouldn't be an asshole to the rare person on here who actually engages with you. Considering everyone thinks you're dogshit, you need all the friends you can get. And not the ones you make up, like Mao.

R65 Bitch I don’t come to this site to make friends. I have enough in real life. I am naturally friendly and enjoy some good wit. And I call you a bitch because if you still or anybody else thinks I’m Mao then that’s what the fuck you are.

I saw the preview for Wicked at the theater (Conclave) and it looked washed out and dull. These newer digital projection systems are pretty weak compared to film.

She’s already at the top of Gold Derby

Idk, I’m sure she will be nominated but the Academy mostly hates musicals

Christ, this Erivo bashing is getting boring.

Does Grande really have a supporting role or is this category fraud like with August:Osage County and Carol?

She's a co-lead with Erivo, but that won't stop them from trying to get her into the BSA category.

Give her a best supporting nod and win while Grande gets best actress nomination and loses.

Then let her acceptance speech be an attack on the people behind her not being nominated as best actress.

Ha!

[quote] the Academy mostly hates musicals

Ariana DeBose Emma Stone Anne Hathaway Jennifer Hudson Catherine Zeta-Jones and that’s just this century

My God talking about the Oscars to people who know nothing about the Oscars is like talking to children

Apparently she's truly excellent in the role.

Grande is co lead but she is getting frauded into supporting. Same with Zoe Saldana who has more screen time then the one who is being campaigned as best actress.

Please lady, if you win don't slap anyone.

Erivo reminds me of the doll that terrorized Karen Black in Trilogy of Terror.

Cynthia Erivo did the thing.

Why not the little skinny girl in Wicked.

Say what you want this woman is a phenomenal actress. She acted her ass off in Harriet. I’m sure she is amazing in this too.

She’s worse than Cher.

She will erase Margaret Hamilton in her victory speeches.
