Has anyone seen Little Women? Sure there is an argument to be made about Greta Gerwig's potential snub. This one is not about nominating her just because she's a woman.
The Golden Globes aren't a great Oscar indicator, but some things are starting to solidify. Here are my Best Picture predictions. It's such a strong year for film that I would love to see them nominate 10 films, but they will more than likely stick to their usual 9.
1) 1917
2) The Irishman
3) Jojo Rabbit
4) Joker
5) Little Women
6) Marriage Story
7) Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
8 ) Parasite
9) Knives Out

This list is solid. If I had my wish Endgame would get a nod If nothing other than the sheer brilliance of bringing all those films together so well over that long of a time period. Just a wish but would be cool. I thought JoJo sucked so bye bye to that one. Lol

End Game would not surprise me to get a nomination. Especially if they are trying to draw in a larger audience, although I will always argue that fans of End Game are not the same kind of filmgoers that watch the Oscars.
Jojo Rabbit certainly does not suck! I can't believe anyone would dislike that film. What didn't you like? Have you seen any other Taika Waititi films other than Thor Ragnarok?

I have. Eagle V shark is AMAZING!! So funny and if you have seen thier show... it’s even funnier. I just thought it was silly. It wasn’t funny (few parts were) and some was annoying. Family hated it and wanted to watch something else.... I was interested enough to finish it but not a fav of mine no...

Well, it's not entirely supposed to be funny. It's about Nazis after all. There's actually a lot of heart in the film. I'm not sure how old your family is, but I wouldn't say it's something for the entire family. There's no way younger kids are going to get all the satire in that film.
My Best Director predictions:
Bong Joon-ho - Parasite
Greta Gerwig - Little Women
Quentin Tarantino - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Sam Mendes - 1917
Martin Scorsese - The Irishman

Strong year, man. There are only 5 spots. People like Noah Baumbach, Rian Johnson, James Mangold and Taika Waititi (despite directing a terrible film ) are going to get left out in the cold too. Honestly, I could make the case that the Safdie Brothers are also worthy.

Don't forget Lulu Wang.
Scorsese wins on Hollywood sentiment.

Kinda funny that Scorsese bags on Marvel movies but The Irishman is basically the gangster version of a Marvel movie.
I don't mean story-wise. I mean Scorsese is gathering all his superheroes in one epic genre movie.

I was just making a funny (maybe not) comment; don't think too much about it. I love both Scorsese and Marvel movies.
This is a really strong category this year. I think Taron Egerton has positioned himself nicely for a nomination. I think he's more than deserving. I'm really rooting for Adam Sandler, but I don't think the Academy throws him a bone here.
My Best Actor predictions:
Adam Driver - Marriage Story
Antonio Banderas - Pain and Glory
Eddie Murphy - Dolemite Is My Name
Taron Egerton - Rocketman
Joaquin Phoenix - Joker

Is anyone one else freaking out that there's significantly less time between nominations and the show this year? And less time to fit in everything I need to see!
