Sound of Metal Promising Young Woman Mank The Trial of the Chicago 7 PYW notably went above my expectations, while the bottom two are just not worth it... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess China would contribute another 35M-40M USD in this round of re-releasing. The next round of re-releasing in April is Lord of the Rings 1,2,3.

I really liked The Trial of the Chicago 7, but maybe it’s more domestically appealing than internationally appealing.

Here’s the full list of Best Picture noms I only watched Nomadland because its Chinese director. The atmosphere and the performing skill are definitely gorgers. I like this movie but I still think it overrated. The story itself is very much predictable and sorta over political correctness for me. Just like the B-side of the Green Book. And also congrats Better Days representing Hong Kong nominated by Best International Feature Film. It's a very good movie about school bullying and teenagers' love and responsibility. The main actress's performing captured every viewer's heart. I highly recommend it for you guys. Below is the trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinipereira 3,054 Posted April 25, 2021 #1440 Share Posted April 25, 2021 The Oscars are this sunday so it's time for my annual predictions post. Last year was a pretty good one regarding my predictions with 19/24 correct picks, but again missed the Best Picture winner - last time I got this award right was back in 2014 with 12 Years a Slave (!). This year I'm confident Nomadland will take it, but given my bad retrospect in this category, I wouldn't be surprised if I got this wrong again. But the most exciting race this year is the Best Actress category, with 4 nominees having a realistic chance of winning. ["will win" is my prediction / "could win" is my alternate prediction / "should win" is my personal ranking from what I've watched / "shoud have been nominated" is a way to remember other notable work]. Spoiler Best Picture WILL WIN: Nomadland COULD WIN: The Trial of the Chicago 7 SHOULD WIN: 1. The Father; 2. Nomadland; 3. Sound of Metal; 4. Minari; 5. Judas and the Black Messiah; 6.

SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOMINATED: Mads Mikkelsen, Another Round Actress in a Leading Role WILL WIN: Carey Mulligan, Promising Young Woman COULD WIN: Viola Davis, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom / Andra Day, The United States vs. Billie Holiday (I couldn't decide, only Kirby would surprise me at this point) SHOULD WIN: 1. Carey Mulligan, Promising Young Woman; 2. Frances McDormand, Nomadland; 3. Andra Day, The United States vs. Billie Holiday; 4. Vanesa Kirby, Pieces of a Woman; 5.
