Yeah, Sophia Loren is getting some steam. But Adam's movie flopping still opens up the race as there are more competitive/open slots (only McDormand and Viola Davis seem locks at this point).

She didn't get a Gotham nom this morning. Oh well.

Sadly I don't think much will happen now with regards to nominations for this film now. Maybe a GG nom if we're lucky.

Hard to read into the Gotham's too much, they are weird, 5 member committees for each category. I looked at the committee for the International Feature and if they were the ones who nominated for Actress instead, I think she would have gotten nominated: Florence Almozini, Senior Programmer at Large, Film at Lincoln Center, she did the French Exit Zoom Q&A for NYFF Bilge Ebiri, Film Critic and Writer, New York Magazine/Vulture, he's a huge Pfeifer fan David Fear, Senior Editor & Film/TV Critic, Rolling Stone, also a big fan. Tomris Laffly, Film Critic, RogerEbert.com, Variety, big fan and she wrote that great review for The Playlist David Rooney, Chief Film Critic, The Hollywood Reporter, he loved her in the film. Ugh.

I’ve just seen The Life Ahead and Loren is not that great. Here I’m Hoping she’s another one out of the competition

Here I’m Hoping she’s another one out of the competition I haven't seen it yet but I see a lot of people agreeing with you, she's fine but nothing special and is apparently more of a supporting performance rather than lead? But pundits are really pushing for her hard, kind of like they had been doing with Pfeiffer, but a little more so.

Name a greedier person than Meryl Streep. I'll wait.

Netflix just announced another of their films will be released for this awards season with Zendaya, who has tons of momentum and could easily make it in if the film is good. They are just ridiculous (Netflix that is). They have Davis, Streep, Kirby, Loren, Zendaya and Amy Adams contending for Lead Actress. Sigh.

He seems to be really wanting a Michelle nomination which is nice. I still don't sadly see her getting an Oscar nom.

Viola Davis role was described as an extended cameo so definitely does not sound like she will be a leading contender.

I see a lot of differing opinions on the size of her role, but if she wants to go Lead, the studio will oblige and she's basically like Meryl Streep now in terms of acclaim, so she's at least a lock for a nom. Btw, Meryl raps in The Prom. I listened to the song earlier, it's god awful and if she gets another nom for that, I will just give up.

Yeah, for her own legacy's sake, she should stop campaigning if the role/movie/performance is not at the level of Kramer vs Kramer/Sophie's Choice.

In a lot of film geek circles where Meryl Streep is basically God, there's a non-zero chance they'd end up falling head over heels for her rapping. I still happen to be a big fan of hers myself, but white woman rapping is definitely something I'd draw a line on. Haha!
Though from what I gather, if either is to gain traction beyond the Golden Globes, it's more likely to be Michelle. Netflix is so openly thirsty for Oscars though, it's pretty amusing, actually.

Yeah, it's clear Netflix sees an opening for them to dominate with the pandemic kneecapping the major studios and they are def. taking advantage. I do wonder if it will backfire a bit, though. And I should say that I think Meryl is more than a fine actress, but her recent work is not very good and people still praise her left and right, like a cult. She was brilliant in Adaptation, but after that, it's been mostly hammy and over the top. Her win for The Iron Lady is just plain embarrassing.

To be fair to her, I and most others probably would still campaign for all the awards if we were in the same position she is lol. Also, she actually looks subtle and tolerable in Let Them All Talk, lol.

I think Streep did it before. She did not campaign for Marvin's Room because she thought it was Diane Keaton's movie, she was publicly saying Keaton should be the one who should be nominated. And also I forgot the movie, but I think it's Hope Springs, but she requested to not be campaigned for the Oscars for that movie.

One good thing about Michelle though is she seems very likely to be nominated for the Globes comedy/musical category, which helps a bit with the Oscars. I looked at the possible nominees, and there's really not that many high profile potential nominees in the comedy/musical category (except Streep). If she wins there (which is very possible), that'll elevate her Oscar chances. She's slipping a bit in the Oscar rankings (Loren, Andra Day, and Streep are starting to get more and more momentum).

Yeah, Feinberg updated his predictions and took Michelle out of his top 5, but sill lists her as a "Major Threat" www.hollywoodreporter.com/race/feinberg-forecast-updated-oscars-projections-as-thanksgiving-approaches

Her GG nom will definitely help her. I think Amy Adams and Kate Winslet are out of the competition. The Prom looks hideous and if Streep is nominated, it will be an utter offense. The people you mention are getting more momentum, but I guess it´s because their movies are premiering very soon. We´ll see how it goes in December and January, the trailer will help IMO.

The Prom does not look good. .Sadly, that won't hurt Meryl at all, of course. On another note, I rather liked Hillbilly Elegy. Not nearly as bad as the reviews. Not the best movie ever, but not terrible and I actually liked Amy Adams in it, the writing did her no favors, but I didn't think she was bad like many others do. Glenn was fantastic and played it more than just a cliched character.

Apparently Let Them All Talk will compete in film not TV awards. Wanna bet Meryl gets two noms in the Musical/Comedy Actress category at the Globes for that and The Prom? Ugh.

This is a nightmare. Apparently, Soderberg shot this in two weeks aboard the Queen Mary 2 cruise ship. They didn’t have a formal script either and most of the dialog was improvised. If it comes off well, this could be the kind of offbeat sleeper the HFPA will reward big time. And Lucas Hedges co-stars (traitor! LOL) Sigh.

Just saw Hillbilly Elegy and dont know what to say. Close is good and so is the Adams but the script is such a mess that I'm wondering if it will ruin their chances of geting nominations for their work ... Next on my list is the movie with Loren. Some of you guys have seen it, right. What did you think?

It would be stupid to reward her for a mediocre performance. She has so many excellent ones. The Life Ahead is a story we have seen many times before. Loren is good, but I do not get the fuss.

The Prom is getting mixed to decent reviews and Let Them All Talk has good early word and just made Richard Lawson's TOP 10 for the year, and he also took a dig at FRENCH EXIT in his write up for that film. He really hated it, lol. Why does Meryl have such good luck, it's annoying as hell.
