What If Lisa Marie Picked The Oscar Nominees: 2021 Edition


With the Oscar nominations due to be announced tomorrow, now is the time that the Shattered Lens indulges in a little something called, “What if Lisa Marie had all the power.” Listed below are my personal Oscar nominations. Please note that these are not the films that I necessarily think will be nominated. The fact of the matter is that the many of them will not be. Instead, these are the films that would be nominated if I was solely responsible for deciding the nominees this year. Winners are listed in bold.

I should also point out that, unlike the Academy (which is using a March to December, 2021 eligibility window), I am using a January to December 2021 eligibility window.  So, you may see a few nominees below that were technically nominated for the 2020 Oscars, despite the fact that the films themselves were not really given a theatrical release until the the first few months of 2021.  The Father is probably the most obvious example of this.

It should also go without saying that I’ve only nominated films that I’ve actually seen.  So, if you’re wondering why a certain film wasn’t nominated, it’s always possible that may have not gotten the opportunity to see it yet.  I have a feeling that The Souvenir Part II and Cyrano would have potentially shown up in the list of nominee below if either one of those films was currently available in my part of the world.  Of course, it’s also possible that I didn’t feel that a certain film was worthy of a nomination, despite what the critics may see.  In the end, my best advice is not to worry too much about it.  I’m not an Academy voter so ultimately, this is all for fun and that’s the spirit in which it should be taken.

You’ll also note that I’ve added four categories, all of which I believe the Academy should adopt — Best Voice-Over Performance, Best Casting, Best Stunt Work, and Best Overall Use Of Music In A Film.

8 Things That I Am Looking Forward To In February


Ah, February!

February is usually one of my favorite months of the year.  Not only do we usually have a lot of Oscar scenarios to which to look forward but it’s also the month of Valentine’s Day!  This is the month of love, people!  Admittedly, pre-COVID, this was also the month when I would usually take my vacation and get out of town for a while.  My vacation’s going to be a little bit later this year, though.

What am I looking forward to this month?  Well, there’s always a chance of snow!  Of course, last year, it snowed in February and we ended up going without power for a week.  That was a difficult time for a lot of people down here in Texas.  It really wasn’t that difficult for me, though.  I kind of enjoyed the snow.  Even without the lights, I could still read a book late at night because of the light reflecting off of all the snow.  That was kind of fun.  But I should probably be careful about admitting that too loudly.

Anyway, here are eight things to which I am looking forward in February!  What are you looking forward to?  Let me know in the comments and maybe I’ll send some snow your way.  (And by snow, you mean cocaine, right?  No, I mean metaphorical snow.  Wait a minute, who am I talking to?)

  1. The Oscar Nominations

The Oscar nominations will finally be announced on February 8th!  With any luck, I will be posting my personal nominations on the 7th.  I have a lot of movies left to watch and I know I’m probably going to miss out on a few because there’s only so many hours during the day.  That sucks but I’m going to do my best, I promise.

2. The Winter Olympics

Am I looking forward to the Olympics?  On the one hand, I am because I’m love ice skating and curling and all of that good stuff.  On the other hand, I’m like, “This is the most problematic Olympics of my lifetime.”  I know that some people believe that we should have totally boycotted the Olympics this year.  I don’t agree with that because that wouldn’t accomplish much beyond punishing our athletes.  Instead, as a proud Irish-Italian-Spanish-American, I will be cheering on all of our athletes, even the really obnoxious ones and I will also be hoping that the coverage of the games will be honest when discussing why they are so controversial this year.

3. Death on the Nile

Speaking of controversy ….. Death on the Nile is finally getting released!  First, it was delayed by COVID.  Then it was delayed by Armie Hammer.  I’m just curious to see how it does at the box office.  Personally, I like the idea of Kenneth Branagh playing Poirot and solving murders.  To me, it’s interesting that he directed this film before Belfast but it’ll be opening at a time when it’s success or failure could effect Belfast’s Oscar campaign.

4. Cyrano

Cyrano is apparently going to finally get a wide release on February 25th.  I guess the hope is that it’ll pick up some Oscar nominations and, when it opens, everyone will be like, “Finally!  We can see what the Academy is so excited about!”  I hate platform releases but I’m still looking forward to finally seeing Cyrano.

5. Marry Me

This looks like the best romantic comedy of 2004!  Seriously, sometimes you see a trailer for a movie that is so destined to be bad that you just have to watch it.

6. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

My Marry Me comments apply here as well, except for the romantic comedy part.  Don’t worry. If this latest reboot/sequel doesn’t work, they’ll just try again in 2024.  Many years ago, someone got mad at me because I pointed out that no one would care about a Vermont Chainsaw Massacre.  I stand by that opinion.

7. Super Bowl Sunday

Yes, I watched a bit of football in January.  It was an experiment to see if I could get into the sport.  It turns out that I can’t.  But I’m still looking forward to the Super Bowl commercials and the trailers and the tweets!  Always, the tweets….

8. Valentine’s Day

I love Valentine’s Day and I never quite get the bitterness that it seems to inspire in some people.  Of course, I don’t think I’ve ever been single on Valentine’s Day, either.

As for what I’m not looking forward to in February …. the return of Celebrity Big Brother.  Ugh.  I’ll watch it but that doesn’t mean I’m looking forward to it.

Lisa Marie’s Oscar Predictions for January


Well, here we are. Another awards season is wrapping up. Almost all of the regional critic groups have announced their picks for the best of 2021. The Guilds have spoken. The front runners have emerged. Both Don’t Look Up and Being the Ricardos have weathered bad reviews and become probable Oscar nominees. If nothing else, I’ll have something to complain about for the next three or four months. At the same time, Power of the Dog has emerged as the critical favorite. Belfast seems to be the populist favorite. West Side Story is the big production that has to be nominated, even though no one seems to feel particularly strongly about it one way or the other. Dune is the blockbuster that the Academy is hoping will cause people to tune into the ceremony, especially now that it appears that the Spider-Man Oscar campaign has fizzled. Don’t Look Up is the “Let’s piss off the cons” nominee. Being the Ricardos is this year’s “Wow, our industry really is the best” nominee. Personally, I’m going to view tick, tick….Boom! as being the most likely dark horse to pull off an upset.

So, with all that in mind, here’s my last set of 2021 Oscar predictions.

Looking at the list below, I have to say that we certainly have a good race this year. It’s interesting that, this year, only films that were released between March and the end of December were eligible for the Oscars. 2021 was a very good year for movies! Not only do we have the nominees below but we also had films like The Father and Judas and the Black Messiah, both of which are 2021 films as far as I’m concerned.

(Consider this. If the Oscars had kept the eligibility window the same last year instead of extending it to accommodate films delayed by the pandemic, Anthony Hopkins would probably be the Best Actor front runner right now and the Academy probably would have given Chadwick Boseman a posthumous Best Actor award last April. I also imagine that Jesse Plemons would have a better chance of picking up a supporting actor nomination if the members of the Academy were currently screening both The Power of the Dog and Judas and the Black Messiah at the same time.)

To see how my thinking has evolved,  check out my predictions for March and April and May and June and July and August and September and October and November and December!

The Oscar nominations will be announced on February 8th. Below are my predictions!

Here Are The 2021 Producers Guild Nominations!


The Producers Guild nominations is one of the biggest of the awards season precursors.  The fact that neither Spider-Man: No Way Home nor No Way To Die were mentioned here probably means neither is going to pull off a surprise best picture nomination.  So, it looks like Dune will get the blockbuster slot this year.

Both Being the Ricardos and Don’t Look Up were nominated.  Don’t even get me started.

Here Are The 2021 Eddie Nominations!


The American Cinema Editors have announced the nominations for the 2021 Eddie Awards!

The Eddie Awards are usually a pretty good precursor as far as the best picture race is concerned.  If a film is going to be the best of the year, it’s typically going to be well-edited, Bohemian Rhapsody‘s Oscar notwithstanding.  When these nominations were announced, there was brief flurry of activity on twitter as people said, “Where’s West Side Story?”  West Side Story is not here, which is surprising.  However, West Side Story did receive a DGA nom so its still looking pretty good as far as getting nominated is concerned.

For me, the biggest surprise was the nomination for Tick, Tick…Boom!.  The guilds really seem to like this movie.  As for the nomination that made me groan, Don’t Look Up was the worst edited film since …. well, Bohemian Rhapsody.

BEST EDITED FEATURE FILM (DRAMATIC)
Úna Ní Dhonghaíle – Belfast
Joe Walker – Dune
Pamela Martin – King Richard
Elliot Graham & Tom Cross – No Time To Die
Peter Sciberras – The Power of the Dog

BEST EDITED FEATURE FILM (COMEDY)
Tatiana S. Riegel – Cruella
Hank Corwin – Don’t Look Up
Andrew Weisblum – The French Dispatch
Andy Jurgensen – Licorice Pizza
Myron Kerstein & Andrew Weisblum – Tick, Tick…Boom!

BEST EDITED ANIMATED FEATURE FILM
Jeremy Milton – Encanto
Catherine Apple & Jason Hudak – Luca
Greg Levitan – The Mitchells vs. The Machines
Fabienne Rawley & Shannon Stein – Raya And The Last Dragon
Gregory Perler – Sing 2

BEST EDITED DOCUMENTARY (FEATURE)
Janus Billeskov Jansen – Flee
Bob Eisenhardt – The Rescue
Joshua L. Pearson – Summer Of Soul (…Or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised)
Ting Poo & Leo Scott – Val
Affonso Gonçalves & Adam Kurnitz – The Velvet Underground

Here Are The WGA Nominations!


The DGA was not the only major guild to announce its nominations today.  The Writers Guild also announced its nominations for the best of 2021.

I hate to say it but it’s starting to look very probable that two of my last favorite films of 2021 — Don’t Look Up and Being The Ricardos — are going to be best picture nominees.  I mean, I can understand the nomination for Being the Ricardos because Aaron Sorkin is a brand name and the whole script was designed to appeal to people in the industry.  But the screenplay for Don’t Look Up was terrible.  If it picked up a WGA nod, that means that Adam McKay’s panic porn has a strong base of support in Hollywood.

ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
Being the Ricardos – Written by Aaron Sorkin (Amazon Studios)
Don’t Look Up – Screenplay by Adam McKay, Story by Adam McKay & David Sirota (Netflix)
The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun – Screenplay by Wes Anderson, Story by Wes Anderson & Roman Coppola & Hugo Guinness & Jason Schwartzman (Searchlight Pictures)
King Richard – Written by Zach Baylin (Warner Bros. Pictures)
Licorice Pizza – Written by Paul Thomas Anderson (United Artists)

ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
CODA – Screenplay by Siân Heder, Based on the Original Motion Picture La Famille Belier Directed by Eric Lartigau, Written by Victoria Bedos, Stanislas Carree de Malberg, Eric Lartigau and Thomas Bidegain; Apple
Dune – Screenplay by Jon Spaihts and Denis Villeneuve and Eric Roth, Based on the novel Dune Written by Frank Herbert; Warner Bros. Pictures
Nightmare Alley – Screenplay by Guillermo del Toro & Kim Morgan, Based on the Novel by William Lindsay Gresham (Searchlight Pictures)
Tick, Tick…Boom! – Screenplay by Steven Levenson, Based on the play by Jonathan Larson (Netflix)
West Side Story – Screenplay by Tony Kushner, Based on the Stage Play, Book by Arthur Laurents, Music by Leonard Bernstein, Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Play Conceived, Directed and Choreographed by Jerome Robbins (20th Century Studios)

DOCUMENTARY SCREENPLAY
Being Cousteau – Written by Mark Monroe & Pax Wasserman (National Geographic)
Exposing Muybridge – Written by Marc Shaffer (Inside Out Media)
Like a Rolling Stone: The Life & Times of Ben Fong-Torres – Written by Suzanne Joe Kai (StudioLA.TV)

Here Are The 2021 Directors Guild Nominees


This is the big one.  If a film receives a Narrative Feature Film nomination from the Directors Guild, that will probably also lead to it receiving an Oscar nod for Best Picture.  Occasionally, a film will get a DGA nom without also getting an Oscar nom but it’s an increasingly rare occurrence.  And since there’s guaranteed to be ten Best Picture nominees this year, it makes sense that the first five films listed below will be among them.

Here are the DGA nominations:

NARRATIVE FEATURE FILM
Paul Thomas Anderson – Licorice Pizza
Kenneth Branagh – Belfast
Jane Campion – The Power of the Dog
Steven Spielberg – West Side Story
Denis Villeneuve – Dune

FIRST TIME NARRATIVE FEATURE FILM
Maggie Gyllenhaal – The Lost Daughter
Rebecca Hall – Passing
Tatiana Huezo – Prayers For The Stolen
Lin Manuel-Miranda – Tick, Tick…BOOM!
​Michael Sarnoski – Pig
Emma Seligman – Shiva Baby

DOCUMENTARY
Jessica Kingdon – Ascension
Stanley Nelson – Attica
Raoul Peck – Exterminate All The Brutes
Questlove – Summer of Soul
Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi & Jimmy Chin – The Rescue

It wouldn’t surprise me if some of the films nominated for First Time Narrative Film also showed up in the best picture race.  Tick….Tick….Boom!, in particular, appears to be popular with the guilds.  Passing and The Lost Daughter also have their supporters.  And I’ll always hold out hope that either Pig or especially Shiva Baby will surprise people.

Here Are The 2021 Nominations of the American Society of Cinematographers!


The American Society of Cinematographers have announced their nominees for the best cinematography of 2021!

I’d say that the big surprise here is the lack of a nomination for West Side Story as this seems like a place where you would normally expect to see a big Spielberg production nominated.  That could indicate a bit of weakness for West Side Story.  (Though, let’s face it — I think we all know that West Side Story isn’t going to be the big Oscar powerhouse that many initially assumed.)  That said, there’s now ten best picture nominees and I’d still be surprised if one of the slots didn’t go to West Side Story.

Anyway, here’s the nominees:

Feature Film
Bruno Delbonnel (ASC, AFC) for THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH
Greig Fraser (ASC, ACS) for DUNE
Dan Laustsen (ASC, DFF) for NIGHTMARE ALLEY
Ari Wegner (ACS) for THE POWER OF THE DOG
Haris Zambarloukos (BSC, GSC) for BELFAST

Spotlight
Ruben Impens (SBC) for TITANE
Pat Scola for PIG
Adolpho Veloso (ABC) for JOCKEY

Documentary
Jessica Beshir for FAYA DAYI
Isabel Bethencourt and Parker Hill for CUSP
Daniel Schönauer for THE HIDDEN LIFE OF TREES
