Apparently they now hate Bradley Cooper (now or always, I don't remember this hate before towards him) who was, till recently, the favourite. But, I agree that most of the winners are not the best and some were awful. If you're not invested on the Oscar race it is kind of funny to read some comments. I actually remember that they were hating Cooper since before the Venice premiere of his film. Probably, it wasn’t so huge like now but some Nolan fans were extremely “worried” that he would receive the Oscar hype instead of Murphy.

I watched the Golden Globes. They gave awards to movies and tv shows that I’ve never seen or even ever heard of. But if they deserved to win, then maybe I’ll try to look for them one day. The shows they awarded are good. I watched part of The Bear, it's intense and I was tired so I stopped for a while but it is my intention to return to it now that I'm on holidays. Perhaps not binge. I still didn't watch Beef but I read about it. It's on Netflix. I watched exactly one The Bear episode! It wasn’t bad but also… whatever! lol I guess you must watch more than one! I think I was kinda disappointed because… it’s not funny! At all! Actually, it’s very clear that it’s a drama but it’s sold, at least for awards, as a comedy! I don’t know, maybe it won Best Drama at the GG but the Emmys use to nominate it for the comedy categories which it’s completely ridiculous! It’s so hyped now that I just lost interest. I think the move to subscribe it as comedy worked because probably voters subconsciously or not think drama is superior and now they have a very dramatic pseudo comedy to nominate and give awards. I watched Barry (was it nominated?) It had some drama elements. Actually the ending was obviously (because it wasn’t other way!) tragic but it still was a pretty over the top comedy. I also enjoyed Only Murders in the Building. That was pure unaltered comedy!

I hate fan culture and Film Twitter! How the lovely Cillian Murphy got so ugly fans at this moment of his career?! Lol I would understand if they were stupid teen girls screaming for the new bot in town but these crazy Nolan male losers?
Anyway, the CC awards is a parasitical award. They aren’t really critics nor from the Industry itself. They are just award punditis dreaming with be taken seriously and rightfully predicting the Oscars. They go with whoever they think will win not with who they think it’s the best.
Who knows who will win at the Oscars but Paul Giamatti Serna like the perfect winner even without having watched any of the performances! He is an old perferformer with a long a prestiged career who should have been nominated and maybe win a few times. He is also lovable, funny and great at speeches.
Murphy also has a long career but he is, I don’t know, more discreet and much less Hollywood. Both are kinda character actors but I would say that Giamatti is slightly more a lead man (He should had been nominated for Sideways which still received a few nominations). Murphy has a lead in a popular series but like Sherlock it’s more a popular cultish thing in the USA.
On the other hand, Murphy is in the bio! So the stadistics are with him AND it’s a massive box office hit directed by Christopher Nolan (he is the real star of the movie, tho. Like Liam Neeson and Sreven Spielberg with Schindler’s List. Now Neeson is a recognizable star but at the time it was all Spielberg)
At the end of the day, it shouldn’t matter and Film Twitter should know it by now!
I was thinking about Smith. We all wanted a BC win but the politics were against him from the beginning. Smith was a long over due (ex?) movie star but also someone who, along his wife, claimed his loses were discriminatory. He was considered more a movie star than a serious actor in his younger years and it’s debatable he deserved those awards more (I think Denzel Washington won over him once but even with him, there was a political discourse about Washington being more respected because he played bad guys! Lol Obviosly, not by the Smiths but there was an interesting article criticizing the randoms who said that). The BAFTA, specially, was very discriminatory against black actors in the past. Including against the actually acting titán Washington! Of course, they will go for Smith! And, you know what, it’s a political award so no bad feelings for that! The disturbing part is still how he just blown up any good will and career fullfilment that the award really should had meant for him! It was his coronation and he destruyed not just his reputation but also, in good part, the Academy reputation.

I’m seeing the BAFTA nominations and wow! The diversity scheme is so bizarre because they left out the American indigenous actress who is winning everything but included two black actresses who hadn’t have a strong presence in the award race. One of them is British so good for them for including locals which actually are the ones they should include more, black or white or whatever! Hey but Barbie is nominated! (I haven’t watched any of the movies so maybe Margot Robbie is the best of the bunch! I don’t know!)
Also they nominated Claire Foy and Paul Mescal for All of Us Strangers but not to Andrew Scott.
The heavy promoted but not very well received by critics Saltburn has a strong presence in the acting categories, too.

Apparently her “white greediness” is the reason Lily Gladstone isn’t nominated! lol By the way, Jeffrey Wright was also ignored. He is a black actor who was doing well with award nominations/awards.
