There are 15 days until this years Academy Awards. Starting tomorrow and over the next 15 days, I’m going to rewatch one of the 15 films that received a Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, or Best Supporting Actor nomination.
In this thread I will give a very brief review of the movie, my rating of the movie, my thoughts on their nominees from those six categories and my prediction on where I think they finish in their category in addition to where I would personally rank them.
Film 1: HILLBILLY ELEGY

(1/2) While it’s not as bad as some made it seem, it’s still not great. A lot of the negative buzz was centered on the over the top performances from Amy Adams and Glenn Close, but I think the performances were good. It’s the script and direction that’s
1. HILLBILLY ELEGY

(2/2) not doing them any favors. I also think the jumping back and forth between timelines is too jarring here. There are positives here like the amazing makeup and the score, but at the end of the day it’s just an average film for me.

Rating: 5/10
1. HILLBILLY ELEGY

Nomination: Glenn Close - Best Supporting Actress

(1/2) Close’s performance is my favorite part of the movie. She’s able to pull off mean grandma while caring for her grandson. Plus her makeup is perfect. She has the narrative behind her that she deserves an
1. HILLBILLY ELEGY

(2/2) Oscar, but I don’t think it’s happening for this. She’s my least favorite in the category, but I don’t mind her inclusion. I would have preferred Dominique Fishback from Judas and the Black Messiah, but they’re close.

Prediction: 3/5
Personal: 5/5
Film 2: BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM

(1/2) The consensus on this film is it isn’t as good as the original and I think there’s two reasons why. One is in todays world we don’t need Borat to trick people to do and say bigoted things. People will say it just because. The other reason
2. BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM

(2/2) is there is less Borat in this film and more of Maria Bakalova‘s Tutar. And for me, Bakalova is what makes this just as good as the first. If you enjoy the shock, gross out humor of the first Borat film, you’ll enjoy this too.

Rating: 7/10
2. BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM

Nomination: Maria Bakalova - Best Supporting Actress

(1/2) This is such a great nomination because this isn’t something the Academy goes for. It’s impossible to watch this and not realize how phenomenal Bakalova’s performance is. She really puts
2. BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM

(2/2) herself out there and matches Sacha Baron Cohen’s energy which is remarkable. We all know *that scene*, but she has multiple scenes that are equally hard to watch which shows her commitment to the performance.

Prediction: 2/5
Personal: 1/5
Film 3: ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI

(1/2) In her directorial debut, Regina King gets four excellent performances from her actors. Leslie Odom Jr. as Sam Cooke and Kingsley Ben-Adir as Malcolm X are the big stand outs, but Eli Goree as Cassius Clay and Aldis Hodge as Jim Brown deliver as
3. ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI

(2/2) well. It’s very dialogue heavy since it’s based on a play, but it’s done well. The themes of using your platform and using your voice are strong and always relevant. I’m still shocked this was snubbed for Best Picture.

Rating: 8/10
3. ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI

Nomination: Leslie Odom Jr. - Best Supporting Actor

(1/2) Odom Jr.‘s performance stood out a lot more on a second watch. His chemistry with Kingsley Ben-Adir in their scenes where they are arguing is incredible. He’s the heart of the film. The “Chain Gang”
3. ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI

(2/2) scene is mesmerizing and the turning moment for his character. And of course Leslie can sing and those are some of the best moments. He won’t win this category, but I think he’ll win for “Speak Now” in original song.

Prediction: 3/5
Personal: 4/5
Film 4: PIECES OF A WOMAN

(1/2) A heartbreaking story that’s very well acted. There are multiple scenes so well crafted they’ll stay with me forever. With this being a somber film, I wasn’t looking forward to a second watch, which may be why I didn’t like it as much this time.
4. PIECES OF A WOMAN

(2/2) There’s a lot that takes away from the strength of the film which is Vanessa Kirby. Some uncomfortable storylines that don’t provide much and some odd dialogue brings this down a bit. But Kirby is so phenomenal the film still excels.

Score: 7/10
4. PIECES OF A WOMAN

Nomination: Vanessa Kirby - Best Actress

(1/2) It’s a shame Kirby hasn’t won any of the precursors, because she’s my favorite. The movie starts with a 20+ minute one-shot birth scene and it’s one of the most raw and emotional scenes I’ve seen. Kirby
4. PIECES OF A WOMAN

(2/2) carries this film. As the film progresses you see her mental state and relationships deteriorate and you feel her pain. I hope Kirby can pull off the upset, but I think she’s the only one who doesn’t have a chance.

Prediction: 5/5
Personal: 1/5
Film 5: MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM

(1/2) An acting masterclass. Viola Davis as Ma Rainey and Chadwick Boseman as Levee both receive well deserved nominations, but the rest of the ensemble are all great as well. Based on an August Wilson play, it does feel like you’re watching
5. MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM

(2/2) actors on a stage, but I didn’t mind. The play format allows for long monologues and Boseman and Davis absolutely eat that up. Along with One Night in Miami, this is the other film I can’t believe missed a Best Picture nomination.

Rating: 8/10
5. MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM

Nomination 1: Chadwick Boseman - Best Actor

(1/2) Boseman’s performance is one of three in this category that deserve to win. In what would be his final performance, Boseman gives this role everything he had. The emotion he brings in each of his
5. MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM

(2/2) monologues is palpable. Boseman had so many more performances like this left in him. The race is closer than we once thought, but I think the Academy wants to award Boseman in the only opportunity they will get.

Prediction: 1/5
Personal: 3/5
5. MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM

Nomination 2: Viola Davis - Best Actress

(1/2) Davis delivers on a character who knows her worth and demands her respect. She has no where near the same amount of screen time as the other nominees, but Davis dominates when she is on screen with a
5. MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM

(2/2) fierce portrayal of a historical figure while in excellent makeup. I have so many thoughts on this category that I will do a separate thread on it later, but what I’ll say is as of today I think she’ll win? Maybe?

Prediction: 1/5
Personal: 4/5
Film 6: THE UNITED STATES VS. BILLIE HOLIDAY

(1/2) Andra Day, good. Movie, bad. Day is the best part of the movie and she definitely earned her nomination, but nearly everything else doesn’t quite work. There’s a lot of bad dialogue, overly repetitive storytelling, and clichéd
6. THE UNITED STATES VS. BILLIE HOLIDAY

(2/2) plot devices. The movie drags and needs to be cut down, but the editing is questionable here as well so who knows how that would have turned out. It’s an important story with great acting, but it just falls very flat.

Rating: 3/10
6. THE UNITED STATES VS. BILLIE HOLIDAY

Nomination: Andra Day - Best Actress

(1/2) Day delivers in a biopic where she gets to showcase all of her talent. Her voice is incredible and I enjoyed listening to her sing. She makes the most out of what she’s given here. She’s not my
6. THE UNITED STATES VS. BILLIE HOLIDAY

(2/2) favorite, but I think she has as good of a chance as anyone in the category. I totally get why she’s nominated, but I would have given this slot to Sidney Flanigan in Never Rarely Sometimes Always.

Prediction: 3/5
Personal: 5/5
Film 7: ANOTHER ROUND

(1/2) It’s rare that a film can reach two extremes of emotions as flawlessly as this did. I laughed a lot, but was also emotionally moved. The acting, led by Mads Mikkelsen, is top notch. The direction, cinematography, and screenplay are all excellent as
7. ANOTHER ROUND

(2/2) well. This will win Best International film and I hope more people see it as a result. I wish I had seen this before nominations came out, because I would have been rooting for Mikkelsen and Thomas Vinterberg with everyone else.

Rating: 8/10
7. ANOTHER ROUND

Nomination: Thomas Vinterberg - Best Director

(1/2) Vinterberg was such a surprise Oscar Nomination morning, but really shouldn’t have been. He gets great performances all around and the camera work felt intimate. He really gave us a great story without holding
7. ANOTHER ROUND

(2/2) our hands and telling us what to think. I’m a sucker for great movie endings and this was one of the best of the year. To end the film the way Vinterberg did is a great credit to the vision he had.

Prediction: 5/5
Personal: 4/5
Film 8: MANK

(1/2) While it’s more geared to lovers of Old Hollywood and may not be for everyone, Mank is a well made film deserving of all its Oscar nominations. It has great performances and excels in the technical categories: production design, sound, score, cinematography,
8. MANK

(2/2) editing, costumes, make up, hair. I do recommend being familiar with Citizen Kane before giving this a watch. I enjoyed it more the second time after watching Citizen Kane. While it may lack a more riveting story, Mank makes up for it in its design.

Rating: 7/10
8. MANK

Nomination 1: Amanda Seyfried - Best Supporting Actress

(1/2) From her role in First Reformed to now Mank, I love seeing the direction Seyfried’s career is going. She is excellent here playing Marion Davies. She is very charismatic and her chemistry with Oldman is one
8. MANK

(2/2) of the highlights of the film. She’s one of the few characters who gets to banter back with him and it’s fun. She is good enough to win the category, but I think she has fallen too far behind the front runners to really have a chance.

Prediction: 5/5
Personal: 4/5
8. MANK

Nomination 2: Gary Oldman - Best Actor

(1/2) Oldman gives a great performance that is full of wit and snappy dialogue. He is able to deliver what feels like two different characters between the alternating timelines. One so full of life and charm, and the other sick in
8. MANK

(2/2) bed who is more reserved and thoughtful. I get why Oldman secured one of the nominations, but most people (myself included) would have preferred this slot go to Delroy Lindo from Da 5 Bloods.

Prediction: 4/5
Personal: 5/5
8. MANK

Nomination 3: David Fincher - Best Director

(1/2) I’m glad Fincher got to make this film which is from his late fathers screenplay. This was very personal to him and the passion shows on screen. The decision to not only make it black and white, but also add things like
8. MANK

(2/2) cigarette burns to make it feel more 1930s was a great touch. Fincher continues to prove he’s one of the best directors, but unfortunately for him there’s an unstoppable force in the category that’ll make it impossible for him to win.

Prediction: 2/5
Personal: 5/5
8. MANK

Nomination 4: Best Picture

(1/2) Mank is a tough film to place where I think it’ll finish. Everyone agrees that it’s good, but I don’t know how passionately anyone feels. You could tell me Mank will finish anywhere from 2-8 and I would believe you. If I had a ballot, it
8. MANK

(2/2) would finish last. While being great, it’s going against seven films that are all near the top of my favorite of the year list. Mank struggles to hook people emotionally, which none of the other Best Picture nominees struggle to do.

Prediction: 7/8
Personal: 8/8
Film 9: SOUND OF METAL

(1/2) This is one of my favorite films of the year and I’m so glad it not only got a best picture nomination, but that it also received five other nominations as well. This is a very emotional story about losing the things you love that make you who you
9. SOUND OF METAL

(2/2) are as well as learning to deal with the inevitability of change. All of the performances are top notch and the direction is beautiful. This film has multiples scenes, including the final minutes, that will stay with me forever.

Rating: 10/10
9. SOUND OF METAL

Nomination 1: Paul Raci - Best Supporting Actor

(1/2) I am so glad Raci wasn’t over looked in this category just because he isn’t as well known. He brings such a grounded performance to this film and makes everything feel real. A lot of his character is based
9. SOUND OF METAL

(2/2) on his life and you can feel the authenticity. His character brings a calming presence to Ruben when he needs it the most. His chemistry with Riz Ahmed is fantastic. Raci absolutely elevates the film with his performance.

Prediction: 5/5
Personal: 2/5
9. SOUND OF METAL

Nomination 2: Riz Ahmed - Best Actor

(1/2) In another year Ahmed could easily win for this performance, but this is such a crowded year. You go through so many emotional swings with Ahmed here. There are moments of joy and love with Olivia Cooke, moments of
9. SOUND OF METAL

(2/2) uncontrollable anger, moments of frustration, confusion, and panic due to his situation, and ultimately moments where we see Ahmed’s character learn to accept the stillness. His performance alone makes this a must see.

Prediction: 3/5
Personal: 2/5
9. SOUND OF METAL

Nomination 3: Best Picture

(1/2) Unfortunately for Sound of Metal, I think the win here is getting the nomination. There was a time where no one thought this stood a chance for Best Picture, so leaping over so many movies that were ahead of it is such a great
9. SOUND OF METAL

(2/2) feat. It will win the Best Sound Oscar and is contention to win editing, so it may surprise, but I have a hard time seeing it continue its climb over the rest of the nominees.

Prediction: 8/8
Personal: 1/8
Film 10: THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7

(1/2) Aaron Sorkin’s courtroom drama is full of Sorkin’s signature snappy dialogue that makes this entertaining. The editing is great as well as we hop around from different storylines flawlessly. The biggest positive though is the cast.
10. THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7

(2/2) There’s 10+ performances that are very memorable. Each character is given important scenes and none of the actors are wasted. This is a very solid film, but it doesn’t quite have the same rooting factor that other nominees have.

Rating: 8/10
10. THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7

Nomination 1: Sacha Baron Cohen - Best Supporting Actor

(1/2) While I personally would have preferred Mark Rylance or Yahya Abdul-Mateen from this movie get the nomination, I get why it went to Sacha. He is funny, smart, and gets to have some of
10. THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7

(2/2) the biggest moments in the third act. Cohen has had a big year and it’s cool to see him rewarded with a nomination. I think he’s the runner up, but the front runner is so far ahead I’d be stunned if he wins.

Prediction: 2/5
Personal: 5/5
10. THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7

Nomination 2: Best Picture

(1/2) I have no idea what to expect for this films Oscar chances. I read an article where someone said they think this will win just one Oscar: Best Picture. I don’t have the guts to predict that, but if the film wins
10. THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7

(2/2) two of editing, screenplay and Cohen, there’s a chance. This feels similar to Green Book, but Green Book had more momentum in the precursors than this. The range of outcomes is anywhere from 0-6 to Best Picture.

Prediction: 2/8
Personal: 7/8
Film 11: NOMADLAND

(1/2) A very beautiful and moving film. The cinematography is some of the best I have seen. Chloe Zhao, Frances McDormand, and the nomads they cast here are all excellent. The film is a little slower as it is a more reflective film. While you may not think
11. NOMADLAND

(2/2) this is a movie for you, I encourage you give it a chance. It’s captivating and feels real. Multiple times I forgot I was watching a scripted film and not a documentary on life as a nomad. This will be one of the biggest winners on Oscar night.

Rating: 8/10
11. NOMADLAND

Nomination 1: Frances McDormand - Best Actress

(1/2) This is a very under control performance from McDormand, but don’t mistake that for thinking she’s not acting. She acts so much with simple gestures, body language, and facial expressions. She also elevates
11. NOMADLAND

(2/2) everyone around her. She’s working with real life nomads and gets them to deliver incredible portrayals of themselves, which is no small task. She has as good of a shot as anyone, but might lose due to not being as flashy.

Prediction: 4/5
Personal: 2/5
11. NOMADLAND

Nomination 2: Chloe Zhao - Best Director

(1/2) There is no contest. Chloe Zhao has won every single major precursor. Zhao took so much responsibility on with this film. In addition to directing, she also wrote the screenplay and edited the film. She had an
11. NOMADLAND

(2/2) incredible vision for the film and directed it to perfection. She gets amazing performances out of not only McDormand, but the real life nomads and that can’t be understated. Zhao will be the second woman to win Best Director.

Prediction: 1/5
Personal: 1/5
11. NOMADLAND

Nomination 3: Best Picture

(1/2) The only thing that’s stopping Nomadland from winning best picture is if “front runner fatigue” is a real thing. The problem with that is, what would win instead? The other seven films all have their own fan bases that believe
11. NOMADLAND

(2/2) their movie would be the runner up, but nothing has proven they are. The preferential ballot helps Nomadland in that regard. I don’t think many will have the film low enough on their ballot that another film takes over.

Prediction: 1/8
Personal: 5/8
Film 12: PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN

(1/2) This was my most anticipated movie of 2020. As soon as I saw the trailer, I knew I’d love it. Turns out, I just like it. The film bounces around multiple genres and never quite hits the genre I thought it would be from the trailer. I felt a
12. PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN

(2/2) little let down on the first watch, but enjoyed it more on a second watch. The movie has a controversial ending which I don’t entirely like, but I understand the purpose. Overall there’s a lot happening here and it’s worth a watch.

Rating: 8/10
12. PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN

Nomination 1: Carey Mulligan - Best Actress

(1/2) Mulligan is asked to do so much here and she brings it. The film follows Mulligan for the majority of the runtime and she interacts with every single side character differently. She’s funny, intelligent
12. PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN

(2/2) charming, cunning, and terrifying. There are multiple times where she controls the entire scene. You can’t take your eyes off of her. She has a shot at winning and might be who I change my vote to on Oscar morning.

Prediction: 2/5
Personal: 3/5
12. PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN

Nomination 2: Emerald Fennell - Best Director

(1/2) I’m a sucker for the writer/director combo because it enables them to be very bold, which Fennell is in this film. For as dark and serious as it is at times, Fennell’s direction is very stylish and it
12. PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN

(2/2) doesn’t contradict the tone at all. There’s a lot of scenes that are staged well and the colors really pop. She gets a ton of great performances out of a large ensemble. Keep your eyes out for what Fennell does next.

Prediction: 3/5
Personal: 3/5
12. PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN

Nomination 3: Best Picture

(1/2) This film will likely be a victim to the preferential ballot and fall in the middle of the Best Picture race. A lot of people are very passionate about this film and will give it top three votes. However, the
12. PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN

(2/2) film has been divisive and will get a lot of bottom three votes too. It’s not impossible, but there would have to be a big showing of Promising Young Woman love on Oscar night for me to think it has a chance.

Prediction: 4/8
Personal: 6/8
Film 13: JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH

(1/2) What a thrilling film. The two nominated performances as well as Dominique Fishback and Jesse Plemons were all incredible. Telling the story the way they did was great. They could have made Stanfield’s character a plot twist in the end,
13. JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH

(2/2) but letting you know exactly who he is in the beginning gives you multiple view points that are captivating. This is my current favorite film of 2021 and I don’t see anything passing it anytime soon.

Rating: 10/10
13. JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH

Nomination 1: Daniel Kaluuya - Best Supporting Actor

(1/2) I have loved Kaluuya since Get Out, but he has been amazing in everything he’s ever done. Black Panther, Widows, Queen & Slim. I love that he continues to dominate every role he touches,
13. JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH

(2/2) and I love that he has swept this award season. His line delivery, energy, and commitment to the role makes the film for me. I can’t wait until Sunday when I can call him Academy Award Winner Daniel Kaluuya.

Prediction: 1/5
Personal: 1/5
13. JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH

Nomination 2: Lakeith Stanfield - Best Supporting Actor

(1/2) Obviously so much of the talk before this came out was centered on Kaluuya, so I was presently surprised when Stanfield delivered a performance that was nearly as good. He is the one
13. JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH

(2/2) who gets the complete story arc and it’s heartbreaking seeing his journey. His whole third act is some of the best acting all year. Being able to subtly play someone who is so conflicted is not an easy task.

Prediction: 4/5
Personal: 3/5
13. JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH

Nomination 3: Best Picture

(1/2) I’ve said this before, but this is the hardest film to guess where it stands. Being a late breaker either means it’s peaking at the right time or it means no one has seen it. I feel like I have this too low on my
13. JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH

(2/2) prediction rank, but the best picture nominees are so good this year. This won’t be at the bottom of any ballots, but it won’t be high enough on others to win. I’m glad it’s here, but I’d be stunned if it wins.

Prediction: 6/8
Personal: 3/8
Film 14: MINARI

(1/2) What a beautiful and intimate film. Any movie that has the combination of excellent cinematography and a beautiful score is so pleasing to watch. All of the performances were so full of life and depth. It would have been super easy to make one dimensional
14. MINARI

(2/2) characters that only interact with one storyline, but they all have full character arcs. There were moments that I was emotionally moved and some scenes where I laughed very hard. Some day A24 will miss, but that is not today.

Rating: 9/10
14. MINARI

Nomination 1: Yuh-Jung Youn - Best Supporting Actress

(1/2) I am so glad that Youn has pulled ahead in this race. This is a true supporting performance and her chemistry with the rest of the actors is great. All of her scenes with Alan Kim are my favorite parts of
14. MINARI

(2/2) the film. A lesser movie would have turned their relationship into lazy slapstick, but it’s done so lovingly here that you get a full resolution to their relationship. I’m positive she will win and I can’t wait to hear her speech.

Prediction: 1/5
Personal: 2/5
14. MINARI

Nomination 2: Steven Yeun - Best Actor

(1/2) Yeun gives a very stoic performance while also getting to have very affectionate scenes with his kids. The performance is very good, but I don’t think it was until the last couple scenes that he really locked up the
14. MINARI

(2/2) nomination. If he was given a couple more “Oscar moments” earlier in the film he possibly could have had a better chance, but I think he’ll end up being a victim of the Boseman-Hopkins race at the top getting the majority of votes.

Prediction: 5/5
Personal: 4/5
14. MINARI

Nomination 3: Lee Isaac Chung - Best Director

(1/2) Like I said with Emerald Fennell, I’m a sucker for a film that the director also wrote. I’m an even bigger sucker when the film has themes and stories that are based on their own childhood. Telling a story about
14. MINARI

(2/2) your own life this perfectly can’t be an easy thing to do. The film is beautifully shot and directed. In an alternate reality where Nomadland wasn’t released, I would love to see Chung win. I can’t wait for what he does next.

Prediction: 4/5
Personal: 2/5
14. MINARI

Nomination 4: Best Picture

(1/2) This is the film that I think could have a surprise win if “front runner fatigue” with Nomadland happens. No one is going to have this ranked low, so it’ll finish very high. One thing that could hurt its chances is that some may see
14. MINARI

(2/2) it as just a family drama that doesn’t have a big political or social statement that’s it’s making. But I think a film about chasing the “American Dream” is going to be well liked by the academy.

Prediction: 3/8
Personal: 4/8
Film 15: THE FATHER

(1/2) This is a devastating story that is told in such a unique way. When I heard the premise of this I thought it was going to be a very hard to watch, overly dramatic film that I wouldn’t like, but it was not. The way this story is told through Anthony’s
15. THE FATHER

(2/2) perspective makes this mysterious and thrilling. The detail to the production design is almost unnoticeable at times, but really adds to the protagonists confusion. Of the 3 play adaptations we had this year, this one is in a class of its own.

Rating: 10/10
15. THE FATHER

Nomination 1: Olivia Colman - Best Supporting Actress

(1/2) I really wish Olivia Colman was getting more buzz for her role here, but it just didn’t happen. Her chemistry with Hopkins is great and you really feel the love between the characters. You also get to
15. THE FATHER

(2/2) feel her frustration and exasperation at times as she tries her best to help her father. She could have been very over the top, but it’s very nuanced. Even though she won’t win this year, she’ll be back soon enough.

Prediction: 4/5
Personal: 3/5
15. THE FATHER

Nomination 2: Anthony Hopkins - Best Actor

(1/2) I can’t believe we’re here. There is a legitimate chance that Hopkins pulls this off and wins the Oscar. His performance here is one of the best, if not the best, performance of his career. Being able to put us in
15. THE FATHER

(2/2) his exact state of confusion and frustration was incredible to watch. And his final scene is so heartbreaking that it could be the moment that wins him the Oscar. This is a performance that will be talked about for a long time.

Prediction: 2/5
Personal: 1/5
15. THE FATHER

Nomination 3: Best Picture

(1/2) There seems to be a lot breaking at the right time for this film. Being released as late as it was, it wasn’t talked about as much early on. It’s having a moment, but is it too late? This is one of the films I’m keeping an eye out
15. THE FATHER

(2/2) for. If it does indeed steal a couple of the categories it’s threatening in (screenplay, editing, actor), it’s possible it could win in the chance of Nomadland fatigue. I don’t see it happening, but I would not mind if it does.

Prediction: 5/8
Personal: 2/8
