Lisa Marie’s Oscar Predictions for January

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

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!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

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.

The Award for Outstanding Producer of a Feature Theatrical Motion Picture
Being The Ricardos
Belfast
CODA
Don’t Look Up

Here Are The 2021 Eddie Nominations!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

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!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

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

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

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!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

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

Here Are The 2021 Nominations of the Cinema Audio Society!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

For all of your Oscar watchers who are currently trying to make your predictions for which films will be nominated for Best Sound, here are the 2021 nominations of the Cinema Audio Society!

(Also, judging from these nominations and the Golden Reel nominations, I would suggest going with Dune, West Side Story, No Time To Die, and two Marvel films.  If you only want to include on Marvel film, then maybe go with Power of the Dog, depending on whether or not you expect that the Academy membership is going to be as crazy about it as the critics.  Maybe Belfast, too, depending on how popular it is with the members of the Academy.  If you want to include at least one shot so you can at least brag if it picks up a nomination, I recommend Summer of Soul.  But definitely, include Dune.)
