Can TV Engage Racism Without Being Racist?
| April 18, 2021
There are sturdy favorites in the handicapping—Nomadland a few lengths ahead of the tied pair Minari and Trial of Chicago 7—but also categories with stirrings of a horserace. Sentiment has turned heavily toward Carey Mulligan (versus Frances McDormand) as well as Yuh-Jung Youn. Riz Ahmed and Anthony Hopkins draw about the same favor but some yards behind Chadwick Boseman; Daniel Kaluuya is prize among supporting male performances.
Nomadland is a far reach from other Adapted Screenplay nominees, including surprise back-of-the-pack The White Tiger. Stalk-and-talk Promising Young Woman and walk-and-talk Trial Of Chicago 7 are only words away from each other.
Nomadland leads for cinematography, but Mank is smoking right behind; Nomadland vies with close-at-hand Trial of Chicago 7 in the Editing heat.
The Gurus are definitely drunk on Another Round for International, while Production design seems to be on the scent of Mank while Tenet is lost to time.
Emma. and Mank are right on Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom in the Costume Design department. In Makeup & Hair, Ma Rainey reigns over Meemaw in Hillbilly Elegy and Mank inside Mank.
Tenet suits up for lead in Visual Effects.

Can TV Engage Racism Without Being Racist?

The Gurus Predict Best Picture And Make Three Little Wishes

Paul Schrader on Facebook: “AN OBSERVATION ABOUT FILM ECONOMICS. The clever post-nickelodeon decision to monetize motion pictures (squeezing large numbers of patrons in un-air-conditioned large rooms with (for a time) intermittent vaudeville acts worked like a charm for decades. Then came TV. Yet movies survived. Became larger scope, racier subject matter, exploitation pix, women's pix, prestige pix, horror pix, genre pix, realistic pix. bigger in scope, racier in subject matter, newsreels. serious dramas, art films, European films—and air conditioned cinemas.
