—this article does not list the short film about the 1955 Le Mans racing disaster. Does that mean it cannot get a nomination?

In the old days, it would have been The Two Popes vs. Little Women, but we may yet see that happen this year

You guys need to know that critics’ top 10 list mentions are an extremely strong predictor for Best Picture nominations (no surprise, right?). As of now Uncut Gems has 95 mentions (5th best) and 15 best-film-of-year nods (4th best), Knives Out has 75 and 6, and Jojo Rabbit has just 35 and 1.

"Remember that every time a man commits a violent act it only takes one or two steps to figure out how it’s a woman’s fault, and that these dance steps are widely known and practiced and quite a bit of fun," writes Rebecca Solnit. "There are things men do that are the fault of women who are too sexy, and other things men do that are the fault of women who are not sexy enough, but women only come in those two flavors: not enough, too much, and it is the fate of heterosexual men to endure this affliction. Wives are responsible for their husbands, especially if their husbands are supremely powerful and terrifying figures leading double lives and accountable to no one. But women are now also in the workforce, where they have so many opportunities to be responsible for other men as well."

“If I’d stayed in Hollywood, I don’t think I’d have a career right now. I don’t think I’d have my voice. So I’m happy that I chose that, to come through basically 10 years of slugging it out in New Zealand. By the time I made Thor: Ragnarok, I was still sleeping on my friend’s couch here in L.A., and by then I was very sure of who I was and very confident in the stories I wanted to tell and how to tell them."
