JD Vance is a huge piece of [!@#$%^&*] who is funded by dangerous men like Peter Thiel, hangs around the likes of Amy Chua (who has so many ugly ties to Brett Kavanaugh) and from what I've heard Hillbilly Elegy is patronizing and basically tells poor people it's their fault if they suffer and die. It would be very Oscar-like if Glenn Close or Amy Adams won for something so repulsive.

Netflix will campaign Chadwick Boseman as a lead:

 

 

The Aretha biopic with Jennifer Hudson has been pushed to August and out of contention for the 2020 Oscars:

The first little taste of potential Oscar nominees; Awards seasons COMMENCE!  Thanks for posting/all the updates Faulkner.

 

As someone who was introduced to and loved him in The OA (gone too soon), I'm very happy and am rooting for Kingsley Ben-Adir.

Another little taste of a couple potential Oscar nominees comes from the nominations for the British Independent Film Awards, announced on December 9. Last year, Renee Zellweger was the sole acting or best picture nominee to carry over, but I still enjoy seeing the less spoken of talents that are being highlighted across the pond. The majority of the acting nominees are new to me. As someone who watched REVENGE, it was cool to see Ashley Madekwe nominated, and being that they are mostly newcomers to me, it's very strange to see Anthony Hopkins listed among them. Him and Riz Ahmed seem to be strong contenders so far.
