I think EEAAO is either going to sweep or get ignored (little in between), but it really feels like the type of indie darling with mainstream appeal that could do the former.

It's unbelievable that Colin Farrel has never even been nominated. That streak better end. Obviously it's Brendan Frasers year to win, but gimme that Colin nom after all the snubs for In Bruge, The Lobster, and Killing of a Sacred Deer.

I'm thinking things will be fairly predictable, but think there might be a surprise Andrea Risenbrough best actress non given all the crazy campaigning that's happened for her the past couple of weeks. Also, I think All Quiet On The Western Front might get more noms than most expect.

I'd be shocked if EEAAO doesn't get the nod in all the major categories. Momentum is on that movie's side at the moment. Hoping that Stephanie Hsu gets recognized, even if she doesn't go on to win. Would love for Michelle Yeoh to go on to win for Best Actress, but I'm not currently seeing her beating Cate Blanchett.

The most interesting race will be the Best Actor race between Colin Farrell for Banshees of Inisherin, and Brendan Fraser for The Whale. Those two have been campaigning hard in the last few weeks, with Brendan having the most momentum from what I can see. Still, Colin won the Golden Globe over him already (and it might've been an asterisk win…considering Brendan's history with those awards).

My semi-realistic wishes are Triangle of Sadness for picture, Joseph Kosinski for director and Moonage Daydream for doc.

My long shot wishes are The Blue Caftan for international film, LCD Soundsystem for song and Mark Rylance (Bones and All) for supporting actor.

My "never going to happen in million years" wishes are Lubna Azabal (The Blue Caftan) and Mia Goth (Pearl) for lead actress, The Northman for picture and Zlatko Burić (Triangle of Sadness) for supporting actor.

Also, I think All Quiet On The Western Front might get more noms than most expect.
At last count I presently have All Quiet nabbing no less than 10 total nominations. Which isn't quite the dominant haul it landed at BAFTA but is still pretty darn impressive.

That includes a no guts, no glory prediction that Felix Kammerer racks up a nom for Best Actor. He was the one nomination that missed at BAFTA (while the film bagged its other 14) but what ultimately made the cut at BAFTA is kind of moot given the juried nature of the acting categories. Nighy was always going to clear the Top 3. They were always going to jury in the other frontrunner (Fraser, Butler, Farrell). And then they decided to roll with two Brits for the remaining two slots (Dickinson and Kaluuya could've been possibilities as well).

Oscar voting had already wrapped up by the time the BAFTA nominations were revealed... but the one conclusive thing they told us was that All Quiet was strong with the British contingent of the Academy if nothing else. If the film's going to do as well tomorrow morning as many suspect it will, there's no reason to think Kammerer can't surprise as a coattail nomination from out of nowhere.

I adore Mescal and have Aftersun in my Top 3 for the year. But he's kind of found himself as the consensus choice for the 5th nominee entirely by default. He landed a Critics Choice nom in a category of 6 nominees (along with Cruise). He was juried into a nomination at BAFTA where Aftersun clearly underperformed below expectations (they had ZERO excuse not to give Wells a Director nomination and yet they found one). The film missed Screenplay as well. I would be thrilled if Mescal makes the cut as an accidental "we had no one else so let's give it to this damned deserving breakout role" nomination but I see no reason to expect it to actually happen.

The other possibility I could see showing up from out of nowhere for the category is Tom Hanks for A Man Called Otto which opened with an impressive box office haul the weekend Oscar votes were being finalized.

I'm thinking things will be fairly predictable, but think there might be a surprise Andrea Risenbrough best actress non given all the crazy campaigning that's happened for her the past couple of weeks. Also, I think All Quiet On The Western Front might get more noms than most expect.
I welcome the chaos of a Riseborough nomination... so long as it doesn't come at the expense of Danielle Deadwyler. If she bumps de Armas, Williams or Davis instead, I say bring it on.

My "never going to happen in million years" wishes are Lubna Azabal (The Blue Caftan) and Mia Goth (Pearl) for leading actress, The Northman for picture and Zlatko Burić (Triangle of Sadness) for supporting actor.
I can actually see the Burić nom happening despite his absence of precursors. Supporting actor is weak enough for him to materialize out of nowhere if Triangle performs as strong as it has here as it has with European voters the past few months.

Everything Everywhere All at Once deserves all of the awards!

I do hope Decision to Leave makes it into the general Best Picture race and not just Best International Film - I already know it's gonna get zero acting nods even though Park Hae-il and Tang Wei killed it so getting a BP nod would a small consolation prize.

Not expecting any surprises. Would love to see Mia Goth get a nod, but that will never happen. Banshees will probably win BP.

Another year where these snobs will avoid excellent performances in the horror genre as Mia Goth in Pearl is going to get blanked just like Toni Collette did for Hereditary.

All Quiet is locked for a BP nom after that BAFTA performance, the real question is how much room it takes up in other categories as well.

I hope you are right but I would still consider Harrelson a more likely candidate as a bigger and more familiar name.

I would be thrilled to see Women Talking still crack the Best Picture lineup. I have Triangle of Sadness making the cut instead on the strength of its European support (Palme d'Or win, sweep of the European Film Awards) but would be overjoyed to be proven wrong on this one.

Director is unlikely given the DGA snub... but I definitely see a path where it winds up in Picture still. It's generated a ton of enthusiasm this awards season as it handily sweeps the Best Song category. It was never going to make a blip on the radar at PGA or SAG and the BAFTAs clearly had an agenda against it so it's not out of the realm of possibility.

I'm not predicting it but it's probably closer to cracking the Top 10 at Picture than many other films folks might be entertaining as alternatives.

Yeah, I'm not expecting it, but hoping passion puts it over the line. Rajamouli's been doing what he needs to do campaign wise, and he's got big name supporters within the director's branch. If anything, he'd be the Hamaguchi of this season (though wildly different in tone lmao -- but same awards campaign manager!)

Bummer if Stephanie Hsu doesn't get in. I thought she gave a much better performance than JLC, who while good fun in the film just doesn't really feel like an Oscar-worthy performance to me (more like a career nod).

Agreed. Wonder if there also might be some racial bias factored in, in that it's easier to promote a prominent white actress in a super acclaimed movie, as opposed to a relatively unknown Asian actress. Because it's a real shame she's not being acknowledged more in these award nominations from what I've seen.

It seems like JLC will get a Supporting Actress nom for EEAAO, but that's baffling to me. To give it to her over Hsu, who is just incredible. Name recognition/celebrity I guess.

Edit: Not that Jamie Lee Curtis wasn't great!

More likely it's just that Jamie Lee Curtis has never been nominated so you can sell it as a career nomination. So the same reason why Judd Hirsch has a real shot of getting nominated for what is basically a two scene performance (though admittedly the second one of those scenes is like really really good).

I personally wouldn't nominate either Curtis or Hsu. I wouldn't mind both Yeoh and Quan winning though.

Shooting to clear 75-80% of my predicted ballot correctly. Last year I hit 72.5% on the dot... so any improvement over that will be taken as a positive outcome.

That said, there are plenty of nominations that I'm not predicting that I'd be thrilled to see should they happen to surprise. Would love to see Women Talking in Best Picture after being thoroughly disrespected just about this entire awards season.

Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor both have four nominees that I feel very confident about and then one that is a real wildcard.

A lot of people have settled on Mescal as the fifth guy in Actor, especially with the BAFTA nomination, but none of the possible candidates feel like a perfect fit.

For the fifth in supporting it feels like it's between Hirsch (small role, the film is also losing momentum seemingly) and Redmayne (strong part in a good movie, albeit one that has zero other representation in the award race).

These seem to be the 10 most predicted right now and also probably lines up with what I'd guess. Maybe I'd swap Women Talking for Babylon.

Aftersun is so good it'll get overlooked. I think Banshees for best picture.

I normally watch awards season movies with my parents and it looks like it's getting skipped so I decided to watch it on my own a few days ago and I have to say I really don't see what anyone sees in it. I don't think it uses the medium of DVR recording to its advantage much at all, and it felt like there should have been more to the dad's side of things. The acting is quite good and it's certainly unique in how sort of structureless it is though.

A lot of people have settled on Mescal as the fifth guy in Actor, especially with the BAFTA nomination, but none of the possible candidates feel like a perfect fit.
The thing about Mescal - as much as I'd love to see it and as much as he's deserving - is that his default 5th slot Lead Actor status is largely manufactured. He managed a Critics Choice nom largely out of respect alongside their "predicted Oscar 5" (which included Cruise) due to contributing an integral part of the best reviewed film of the year.

Cruise went on to miss a nomination at the Netflix-sponsored Screen Actors Guild event for Sandler; the Globe miss was expected because of his prickly relationship with the HFPA but the SAG miss was not. And he was never going to get jury saved by BAFTA when he was clearly not Top 3.

Mescal was a clear jury save in the 2nd round of BAFTA as well. They wanted the clear Top 4 in the category - Nighy was probably BAFTA Top 3 and they didn't want to make waves by snubbing any of the Oscar Top 3 - and so they picked their two favourite British performances out of the 4 they had available. Mescal was ALWAYS making that final BAFTA cut. But he was clearly somewhere between 4 and 7 in that initial BAFTA longlist clearance (Kammerer likely was as well given All Quiet's dominance)... and then Aftersun proceeded to lay a proverbial egg and showing all kind of weakness by missing Best Film, Director, Original Screenplay and Editing. Many of those misses were expected but Wells missing director in favour of Chan-wook and Prince-Bythewood (neither of their films made the Best Film longlist cut) in lieu of her being gifted an outstanding British debut consolation prize was not.

So we're left guessing as to just how much exposure to a little indie film like Aftersun has with the Academy. For me, that's one huge question mark. With Cruise clearly looking weak, Sandler like a non-starter, Pope probably less seen than Mescal and Jackman tied to a film that's critic/audience poison, folks are left guessing as to where to turn to fill out their Lead Actor ballot.

The three most likely dart throws as best as I can see (unless you want to default to Mescal / Cruise and roll the dice) are..

- Tom Hanks (A Man Called Otto) ... doing just fine at the box office but presumably he would've made some kind of noise via pre-release screeners if an awards push was in the cards

- Felix Kammerer (All Quiet on the Western Front) ... star of the film with a ton of momentum; Top 7 at BAFTA unless you want to argue that he was juried to the longlist and that one of Dickinson, McCormack or Kaluuya finished higher than someone whose film otherwise ran the table

- Gabriel LaBelle (The Fabelmans) ... arguably the best performance in the entire film, but will the Academy rally behind the 20-year-old Canadian and just how strong is the film at this point after drawing a single nom at BAFTA

I'm way behind on a few categories so I will have some catching up to do after the nominations are announced tomorrow.

Can't wait.
