It definitely could. This was huge for it, but I’m weird because I think that 1917 was the other big winner despite not even being nominated. I know OUATIH was expected to lose here, but still not being able to beat Jojo Rabbit is not a good look for it imo. So I think Parasite might be a better matchup for 1917 than OUATIH, that got an Editing nomination because that probably would have swept if it had support from the acting, directing, writing, and editing branches. Now we might have a race where neither 1917 nor Parasite got any acting nominations, and 1917 has screenwriting support like Parasite, and its miss in Editing makes perfect sense. Of course it still depends on PGA tomorrow still, so I could be completely wrong again lol when Parasite wins tomorrow. |

Great win for Parasite and Jojo.
Since 1999, the ACE and Oscar have lined up 75% of the time or 15/20.

Didn't see this coming at all. If this somehow wins PGA or SAG, watch out.
And I still think Bong may be the real Director frontrunner here and Mendes was just a GG whim... waiting for DGA to confirm.

I don't think it wins PGA but it will win SAG.

That's fantastic. I'm gonna keep betting against it on the big night because predicting it and being wrong would be too painful. I didn't care much for Roma but predicting it last year really stung. Let's not forget that no foreign language film has won BP ever and that's a damning statistic until it's not. I assume that Parasite takes FLF and BD or Screenplay, but not both and definitely not BP. If Roma couldn't beat Green Book last year than surely Parasite can't beat OUATIH or 1917 this year, and without any acting nods I don't see how it stands a better chance than Roma. Parasite was much more widely seen/talked about and you'd think it was more beloved in the industry but then how come Cho and especially Song miss out when Aparicio and De Tavira (the latter with even less apparent purchase) sneaked in? Where's the love?
I'd love to wrong but I'm not seeing it. And I also think it misses SAG and under-performs at the BAFTAs.

I think it's clear that they love it. The SAG Ensemble nod is wild. Aparicio and de Tavira were in two categories that had very open slots last year. Pacino, Pesci, Pitt, Hopkins and Hanks were all damn strong all season long. It's an all-legends line-up. And Song also had history working against him: no foreign perf has been nominated in supporting actor ever. For some reason it tends to be a lot more common in best actress. Also, 2019 as a whole is a lot stronger than 2018. Imo the support for Parasite is much bigger and much more genuine than the Roma frenzy... but the year is different. Roma had it way easier. |

Where's the love? I'd love to wrong but I'm not seeing it. And I also think it misses SAG and under-performs at the BAFTAs. People forget that Aparicio and de Tavira were literally everywhere on the trail last year. Everywhere. In Aparicio's case, she really only had to worry about one major contender underwhelming (Davis) to get in. Marina de Tavira was a shocker for sure, but she was a major fixture on the campaign circuit and she benefited from a rather messy scrap for the final spot in that category where her biggest competition was an early-release genre film. As for Parasite, there has been zero consensus on which supporting actress to push. There's literally four options, any of which would be worthy picks, but none of them are easily identifiable names and it wouldn't surprise me if 95% of voters couldn't identify which one is which by name alone (I saw one Cannes review for the film completely invert Song Kang-ho and Woo-sik Choi, for instance). At least with de Tavira, there was no internal competition. Song, meanwhile, had an insanely tough field to break into and a hella-compressed season; there's a good chance with a normal season, passion could've swelled and seen him knock out Hanks or Hopkins or even one of the Irishman duo. He's been everywhere the last couple of weeks. And let's not overlook that Netflix had money to burn on their campaigns, whereas Neon is still pretty new to the game and only has one major Oscar win to its name (Janney). It got over the hardest hurdle in its path: the actual nomination for SAG Ensemble. Now that it's one of the five, it now comes down to passion. And it definitely has that in its corner. |
