No 'News of the World' or 'Da 5 Bloods'.

Also, happy that Sound Of Metal got a nod!

Anyone else pretty impressed by how Sacha Baron Cohen has been on this circuit? Feels like he's taken full advantage of being the face of The Trial of the Chicago 7 to help keep Borat and Bakalova especially in the minds of voters.

Borat makes a lot of sense-- PGA tends to nominate a film with a big cultural impact that isn't otherwise a BP frontrunner. Bummed by the Da 5 Bloods snub though. Really hoping the Academy surprises us and goes for the movie despite the lack of precursor success.

This makes me think that Raci might actually make it in Supporting Actor, that Borat might get an Adapted Screenplay nomination and that Bakalova could get nominated over Zengel and maybe, who knows, win SAG.

I was just thinking, Sacha's campaigning has been insane and clearly effective. It's trouble for stuff like First Cow (to name something worthy and unnoticed) who don't have someone like him to woo. |

Could Borat have a chance in Picture or Screenplay at the Oscars?

Could Borat have a chance in Picture or Screenplay at the Oscars? Adapted Screenplay is definitely on the table. The first film got a nod, after all. |

There's always less than 10 BP nominees and Borat is the obvious miss. We'll see if can pass the other 9.

Take away Borat and that's probably your final 9. I think that's pretty much the nail in the coffin for Da 5 Bloods. Obviously more of a critics film than an industry film despite the SAG Ensemble nom. I'd rather it just get blanked Oscar morning with no nominations, than just the one legacy nomination in Supporting Actor for Boseman, because its obvious at this point Boseman is winning Best Actor so he doesn't even need it. Him being the only thing recognized from the film would be a disgrace imo..and I love Boseman.

Two GG wins, lots of accolades/noms for Bakalova, a WGA nod and now a PGA nod. That's huge for Borat. Can't wait to see how it does at BAFTAs tomorrow. I think it gets the screenplay nod over Ma Rainey's at this point and maybe it edges out News of the World for the Oscars.
Judas being here was also key to it retaining its Oscar chances, and it did. It think it released at juuust the right time to drive up hype right before voting opened. It's going to be fresh on their minds when they draw up their ballots. That was a great move on WB's part.

Borat is the most vulnerable to get cut/replaced for Oscar Best Picture.

Borat is the most vulnerable to get cut/replaced for Oscar Best Picture. I don't think anyone would argue that . . . but it did get in here, and that's a hell of a coup in itself. |

Missing is The Father. It also missed Critics Choice, which isn't that hard to make.

This is great for Judas and the Black Messiah! I feel much more confident in its chances now.

I didn't watch News of the World but I'm glad it missed. I have had enough with these lower tier Tom Hanks BP nominees.
