NomadlandThere's something to be said about a film that's at Cannes, TIFF, Venice and would have been at Telluride........Fox Searchlight obviously thinks it's got the goods and while I've been on the Mank bandwagon.........now I'm thinking too Caucasian and too male with their disgusting maleness and penises..... Just voting for Nomadland here so it's on the list for next time and by then I assume everybody will be doing the usual which is copying whatever pacinoyes says but ...........4 weeks later. Kidding.........sorta.

Nomadland's got an awful lot going for it just on paper: it's hitting all the major festivals, it's got a terrific studio, it's got hard-hitting subject matter in this day and age, McDormand could be making a play for a third Best Actress win, Chloe Zhao's on the cusp of a colossal breakout . . . I don't know if I think it can sustain that momentum enough to win, but I do think it's got strong upside at this juncture. All it needs is to actually be good.

Can we add an "Oscars will be canceled (literally this time)" option next time? Seems like a more likely bet than any of these at this point.

Yeah my feeling it’s going to be some kind of combined Oscars since the next year is going to suffer from not much being done other than what was already almost done, or I guess maybe optimistically simple productions. If it actually happens on the date they postponed it to, I guess I’ll follow the crowd this month and hex another movie by going with Nomadland. It’s Fox Searchlight, and could have a narrative of Chloe Zhao being only the second woman to win Best Picture (and Best Director). Netflix seems to be infusing all the other studios with much needed cash right now by buying up everything, but I think that could work against them if people think it’s unfair. It doesn’t make sense, but I think with the bias that some have against Netflix, they’ll just go with any reason. I still see Netflix dominating nominations likely even more than they did last year, but I don’t know if they’ll win the big win yet. I think they’ll win something big as they did the past two years, but just not Best Picture.

Going with Tenet again. I guess it will be regarded as the movie that marked the "return of the cinema".

Yes, I'm sticking with The Trial of the Chicago 7. I would like Judas and the Black Messiah to be added as an option, feels very timely and you know actually good.
