Well, well, well… if it isn’t Mister Lone Director. In a way, these awards have a leg up on the Oscars because I know for absolute certain that 100% of the ‘voters’ have actually seen 300+ films this year. Its nice to know that these picks actually reflect what most of 2020 in film has to offer, even if it is only one person’s opinion.

Anyways, I was counting on you to get that Caleb Landry Jones nod in there, and you didn’t disappoint. The Sidney Flanigan win was expected but excellent; the Talia Ryder win was not expected yet equally excellent. Reznor and Ross getting the win AND runner-up in Original Score is quite amusing, and I’ll certainly take those two runner-up mentions for One Night in Miami. Without any amount of snark (which I will reserve for the Tenet wins in certain categories), I’m not sure I understand where the Visual Effects nod for Mank comes from, and I’m curious what the rationale is there. Overall, very good picks.
