Nah, Mank is the whitest film this year. It's going to get nominated in each category, but it's not going to win anything.

It's set in 1930s. Not even Hollywood can spin the BLM crap in that movie. And yeah, since there are 0 black people involved, it's probably gonna be a total bust at the Awards

 

So, which film has the most black people involved since I'd like to know which is the favorite?

As inconsistent as it is, Mank ticks all the boxes. Don't forget that movies about Hollywood always get extra praise.

 

Just to reiterate how inconsistent it is... The movie spends its entire run bashing Hearst and Co.... And yet it still portrays Orson Welles as nothing more than an arrogant man-child - keeping alive Hearst's aggressive narrative and legacy.

Oscars Shortlists: https://www.oscars.org/news/93rd-oscarsr-shortlists-nine-award-categories-announced

 

Some of my favorites have made the cut (Boys State in Documentary, Kapaemahu and If Anything Happens I Love You in Animated Short Film). The only film I’m disappointed didn’t make the cut is “Loop” in short animated film.

Not a fan of the Netflix?  Though to be fair, i too haven't watched the "favourites" yet. 

[dcro 10,210]

Netflix is trying too hard for my liking with their artsy/Oscar-baity films.

 

This season they expanded their annual B/W films to more than just one.
