New Oscar predictions, who dis?
Billy Lynn had it’s premiere at NYFF and the reviews were…mixed at best. However, I find it hard to count an Ang Lee film out of the race, especially given how most people felt about Life of Pi, which wound up with a ton of Oscars, including one for Ang Lee himself. One of the many issues folks brought up with Billy Lynn was that it might not play well on screeners, but the same was said of Life of Pi. Basically, I’m gonna continue predicting it till it’s not a thing anymore.
I want to fight Universal for not campaigning “No Dames” in Original Song. That’s a mess.
Also, Viola is going supporting for Sag so I moved her.
