It’s been a strange year for the movies, but that hasn’t stopped the awards season. Still some take-aways to be looked at here, but Sasha Baron Cohen made out well with two nominations (and big congrats to Maria Bakalova for being nominated for her break-out role). Very diverse list of nominations from the actor/actress categories and the Best Picture.
That, and two women nominated for Best Director, an Oscars first.
I don’t personally have any favorites just yet, although Judas and the Black Messiah was absolutely terrific, I still have a handful more to watch before I make any determinations. For example, haven’t seen Minari yet, but I was pretty happy to see Walking Dead alum Steven Yeun get nominated.
Mank leads the field, which kinda surprised me, with 10 nominations. It’s a lovely film, I just didn’t expect that one to be on top of the heap. Will it prove to be the big winner of the night? That’s remains to be seen, naturally.
What do you think of this year’s nominees, and how many have you seen at this point?
