Welcome to the season, Cherry.
Also, Swallow got a Spotlight nod and that is richly deserved.

Colman missing BAFTA, too. This is a huge industry get for Newton Thomas Sigel (whom everyone thought would be contending for Da 5 Bloods). Very interesting. |

Man, the industry does NOT like Tenet. Was hoping for Judas here too.
Nomadland, News of the World and Mank are safe. The other two spots are wide open at the Oscars though.

Apparently there're no screeners of Tenet available for voters which I guess is a big deal for these industry awards...but still, it's a shame that it missed.
What a bunch. Chicago 7 and its TV aesthetics sure are a GREAT pick, yeah.
Very happy for Dear Comrades in Spotlight though. Maybe it can get an Oscar nod? They love their boxy B&W there.

Judas missing here too could mean a WB backlash but it’s not doing terrible with the industry considering it’s very late release. |

I've said this before, but Judas is pretty well backlash-proof by virtue of the movie it is. Nolan, meanwhile, suffered a fair bit of controversy himself for the insistence of having his film screened in theaters during a pandemic and I think both parties (that is to say, Nolan and WB itself) minimized their presence on this particular film's campaign lest they reinvigorate those discussions. |

Lame nominees. Critics groups winners have been lame too but now from their own?
Spotlight section has more interesting picks and that goes for the past too (like awarding the Estonian movie November a few years ago).

Judas missing here too could mean a WB backlash but it’s not doing terrible with the industry considering it’s very late release. What kind of amazes me about award voters is that they don't seem too willing to go out and look up the movie on their own if it's not sent to them for free. Our own Will Mavity (at least formally our own) posted a tweet where some sound designer complains that he and his colleagues haven't received screeners to Tenet and before that we had the SAG stunt folks saying that the film hasn't been made available to them...but it's right there dammit! Available for the whole world! You just have to pay up a little. But no, they seem to only want to watch contenders for free, and it's kind of disappointing to me that they don't have an urge within them to go check out interesting-looking stuff on their own. Tenet is the blockbuster of 2020 but for some reason WB decided not to push it awards-wise. Maybe Nolan doesn't want people to watch it as a screener, maybe WB did it as an FU to him for trashing them, maybe they just don't care about awards for it. But the fact that voters themselves aren't curious about a movie as big as this just because they don't get it for free is a bit disappointing. |
