Claims (47)
-
industry (industry):
1917 → Joker.
Speaker expected 1917 rather than Joker to lead nominations, since 1917 is technically accomplished.
“I think I expected that to go to 1917, which is a little bit recency bias and also just because I expected 1917 to grab every single technical nomination”

verdict (verdict):
Joker → Parasite.
Anyone ranking Joker above Parasite, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Little Women or Uncut Gems has bad taste.
“I think that anyone who thinks that this movie is better than parasite or once upon a time in Hollywood or Little Women are uncut gems has bad taste and doesn't know things about movies straight up.”

contrast (contrast):

“And it would be one year after Black Panther, which sort of ushered in.”

contrast (contrast):
Parasite → The Irishman.
Parasite's craft nominations without acting nominations contrast with the star-driven recognition of The Irishman and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
“maybe not the same kind of Hollywoodized star mastery that a movie like The Irishman or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood receives.”

what-if (what-if):
The Two Popes → The Wife.

contrast (contrast):
Uncut Gems → The Irishman.
Only one slot exists for a mob/crime film or an epic war film, and the Irishman and 1917 took them.

Who's talking
- Sean Fennessey (host): Loves Parasite, Marriage Story, Little Women, Uncut Gems and champions Toy Story 4. Prickly toward Joker-style noisy awards bait, wants more fun and weirdness at the Oscars. Sucker for Hark segments and sporting analogies.
- Amanda Dobbins (host): Devoted to Brad Pitt, Joaquin Phoenix as a campaign personality, Bridget Jones, and Little Women. Dislikes Joker. Anti-democratic on lists, avoids animated movies.

- Drafts: Hosts and guests draft films in rounds; every pick is a recommendation with an argument.
- Hall of Fame: A star's or director's best, ranked and argued.
