I really hope she's not wrong about The Last Duel. I totally buy it as a BP nominee and the general audience has taken to it more than the critics. 7.6 on IMDb and 3.8 on letterboxd. Maybe there's a path for it.

I guess she could have always been the worst, but back when she was the owner/site runner of Oscar Watch at least early on, she always seemed nice and cool to me. I don’t remember her ever having any meltdowns. Then there were a few years where I wasn’t active that much, and it had changed its name and I believe had a new site runner, and then I saw her having all these meltdowns every year all over social media whenever something was winning or wasn’t winning.

Even then I was like “well she’s just overreacting, but she’s still nice when she isn’t having a meltdown,” but every year she just got harder and harder to defend until I finally unfollowed and then blocked her.

I muted her for a long time on twitter and only tolerate her now since she has a separate account for her “personal views” which I don’t follow.

In terms of her acting predictions, they're solid, but holding onto Hudson at this point is just wild. Also, there's no way Dinklage is in 3rd, especially as she doesn't even have Denzel or Leo getting in.

Why so serious?

If Ridley's "fuck you" campaign works, it will be the greatest thing I've ever seen in my days following the Oscar race.

Good morning, Oscar Buzz. I'm listening.

She’s as much admitted that her keeping Hudson in her predictions is her personal bias towards the performance but she’s unwilling to let it go.

how can she leave out Spencer for costumes? Not even as an alternate, I can't wrap my mind around that. I know it's a stacked category but surely that's a frontrunner.
(also seeing she left out Dune... hmmmm)

Let's be real: no one is ever 100% unbiased when it comes to these. Everyone has at least one pick that they stand behind even if logic and/or the odds are against them because, well, what if they're right?

Ehhhh, I get where you're coming from, but I genuinely don't think I have any bias in my predictions right now. It pained me to drop Cruz yesterday, considering she's my #1, but it had to be done.

Yeah, but I also feel like if Cruz wins LAFCA next week, you'd put her right back in again.

Haha, would be very tempting.
