Driver and Phoenix are still the only locks. The problem for Banderas is that his movie is weaker than at least 5 of the contenders' and he's also missed SAG. I'd predict him for BAFTA, but that's far from a sure thing too. It's easy to get carried away by critics wins, but they don't mean as much as any of the precursors. If he hits BAFTA, though, he will be in a very good position. No, DiCaprio is a LOCK as well.

Yeah, I think that if anything, it shows he has a great deal of passion behind him. But so does Sandler. Egerton's working the circuit like there's no tomorrow. De Niro and (to a lesser extent) Murphy are also in the mix as well. I would not be surprised if two (or more!) of these wind up sneaking in based purely on passion and wind up knocking DiCaprio out. Every year, we see someone assumed to be a safe bet miss out because someone scored those sweet #1 spots on a ballot at a crucial time. I agree, Leo is not safe. No, he's 100% safe.

Great win for Parasite. Hope Bong repeats tomorrow.
Kinda bummed there was no surprise in Director or the acting categories though.

Banderas pretty much a lock now. He's not going to miss with NY+LA+NSFC wins plus BFCA+GG and an impending BAFTA nom... only one open spot left in Lead Actor imo. Tell that to Sally Hawkins in Happy-Go-Lucky. Although I am predicting him.

Oh, I definitely think NYFCC and LAFCA do - the majority of Oscar voters live in these areas. 1. No overlap between NYFCC/LAFCA voters and Academy voters. 2. NYFCC/LAFCA don't get the same visibility/publicity as any of Globes/SAG/BAFTA. They have a certain amount of influence, but I think being nominated at any of the precursors beats winning of any of these critics awards as far as the Oscar race is concerned. For instance, if Banderas could have either won NYFCC or gotten a SAG nomination, which do you think would have improved his Oscar chances more? Regina King wasn't nominated for SAG or BAFTA. But she was the critics favorite and that help keep her in the forefront.

Are you the sort of guy that acts like most people are born with no limbs just because you have a neighbor that has no limbs? It seems like picking out exceptions is all you're good for.

I'd say it's less about Big Little Lies and more about how absolutely well-respected Dern is in the industry, and how much work she's been doing on behalf of the Academy lately. But it would be more honored if she wins for the better performance. She'd rather lose than put her name as of the worst best supporting winners in history. Nah. She's actually gotten career best reviews for her performance from critics. It's a difficult part to pull off. Her character isn't very likeable, but she does have a moment of humanity in the film.

Because people here singled out Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke - critics favorites who failed to get an Oscar nod.
King being the critics favorite help her. Her film was the only nominee in her category that was not nominated for Best Picture. She also had the less screen time.

Which still makes her an exception, not the rule. Doesn't matter. 1 critic panned Laura Dern, which means she was panned by critics. After all, one exception is enough to disprove the rule, going by your asinine arguments.

Adam Driver is killing it with the critics awards with 26 wins. Phoenix only has 4.

Adam Driver is killing it with the critics awards with 26 wins. Phoenix only has 4. Most people thought Phoenix would be more of an industry favorite. Joker was extremely divisive in the critical community, but the industry is responding very favorably to it. His path to win could mirror Rami Malek's last year, who was certainly not a critical favorite either. Driver was always going to play more towards the critics, as his performance is more in their wheelhouse than Phoenix's.
