Pretty much expected after NOTW missing PGA.

The Fennell snub in First Feature doesn't make much sense. I guess they wanted no overlap in the two categories.

I think Zeller is the only one that could sneak in.

Between this and BAFTA, Really fucking good day for Radha Blank. I was sure her film would end up one of those praised indie projects (even though it was purchased by Netflix) that wouldn't get much in the way of major awards recognition.

Aaron Sorkin was always too obvious to be snubbed. He is very well respected in the industry.

I still think (Lil) Spike Lee could get in at the Oscars but at one point MAR had him as a potential winner - and I had him 2nd - Da 5 Bloods even though I wasn't the biggest fan as usual with his non-docs (~6.5, slight thumbs up) it's had quite a slide .....

I’m happy Fincher and Fennel made it. Zhao is going to steamroll every win so just hoping for some well deserved Oscar noms for those two.

I think these are the final five at the Oscars.

Most likely these 5 are gonna be the final ones for the Oscars, with Regina King having a chance of stealing the fifth spot.

I could definitely see one or two of the debut nominees making it at the Oscars: if not King, it could be Marder or Zeller honestly. There will be surprises at the Oscars, so we'll see which movie they go extra nuts for

I remember people thinking Affleck and Bigelow were locked for Argo and ZDT, and we all saw what happened, in a much saner season (and time).
Frankly, the only nominee I see as locked for the Oscars is Zhao. None of the others missing would shocking to me.

None of these 5 films had the massive controversies Zero Dark Thirty had, though I guess you can argue that Fennell is also an actress so she might miss like Affleck (and Cooper) did, which I don't see happening as she's basically just known for The Crown (which many people didn't even realise was her).

Honestly, Vinterberg has a better chance of upsetting the DGA 5 than she does.

I'd be shocked if Zhao, Fincher and Sorkin missed tbh...

the only two that feel truly safe to me are Zhao and Fincher. Everyone else looks good for a nom. Everyone else. There are 7 strong candidates this cycle + Spike Lee, Shaka King and Vinterberg who are all on the outside but could still make an appearance. Can't wait for the 15th.

It's been my tune all season, and I'm sticking with it, people are overestimating Regina. The DGA 5, Zeller, Marder, Vinterberg and Shaka are all ahead of her at this point.
