Cecil B. DeMille Award
Jodie Foster
Just like the BFCA, the HFPA cast their votes before Oscar nominations were announced, and ended up splitting all over the place and giving Argo their top two awards only. It keeps it alive for the Best Picture Oscar; obviously not, though, for Best Director. And things are no clearer. Silver Linings Playbook takes a bit of a hit, with Les Miserables beating it to both Best Picture and Best Actor, although Les Mis' chances are surely not still alive. Christoph Waltz takes Supporting Actor, and isn't up for the SAG, which should make the Supporting Actor race interesting. Just what we need - another open race! Keeps things exciting! The highlights? Two of them: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler. Bring them back! And Jodie Foster's rambling speech was rather moving in the end, even if we didn't get to hear every word of it (boooo!). These were the nominations.
Well I must say I was delighted to see LES MISERABLES come away with three major awards to lead the parade for the night, though a bit disappointed that my other big rooting interest (THE LIFE OF PI) did not do more than Best Musical Score for Michael Danna (an award it did well deserve though) As I have explained elsewhere I did NOT think the wins for ARGO and Ben Affleck will translate into Oscar wins, but at least Affleck got some major satisfaction and applause. But the Hollywood Foreign Press were never going to embrace LINCOLN like Americans have, so the more internationally-focused ARGO would be a given to impress voters who are already known to be smitten with Affleck and Clooney.
ReplyDeleteLES MISERABLES made quite a show here with the thre major awards, vaulting past the dreaded SLP, and re-establishing itself as a force, even with the AMPAS Oscar snub. I don't say it will win on February 24th, but it's a contender, and Hathaway is now a mortal lock after that beautiful speech she gave, one that will probably influence some ballots that are out there.
Jodie Foster gave a magnificent speech.
Tarantino over Kushner for Screenplay? Ha! Only at the Globes, though I do love DJANGO UNCHAINED. Waltz was great in the film, and he is a formidable Oscar candidate.
Anne Hathaway is not a lock. I'm counting no-one as a lock this year. Almost anyone can win any award. Alas, this attitude probably won't serve me well - I'll only be even more disappointed when the winners turn out to be as predictable as ever!
Delete<3 Jodie <3
Very interested in the Supporting Actor race now. I'm rooting for Christoph Waltz or Philip Seymour Hoffman - the two winners so far! Could SAG throw us all for six and pick Arkin, Bardem or De Niro?
Paddy, the open policy that "no one is a lock" can be applied to anyone EXCEPT Day-Lewis and Hathaway. I DO believe both are LOCKS, and I am far from alone on the conviction. Because there have been some surprises with the precursors and the nominations does not mean there are no locks in this race. Field is Hathaway's closest competitor, but she's won twice, and LINCOLN will wins awards in other categories.
ReplyDeleteI am also rooting for Waltz for the Oscar now, though Jones remains the favorite. Yep, SAG could make things very interesting.
I just have this gut feeling about Sally Field. But Hathaway is a runaway frontrunner, sure.
DeleteNot positive that Lincoln will win awards in other categories, except Best Actor. Its leading the Adapted Screenplay race, but Argo or SLP could win there. And the tech categories are a bit of a mystery to me at this point!
