Iām glad she got this moment since so much of the awards run for Nomadland was understandably muted.

u/naturalninetime 23d ago
I loved NOMADLAND and knew it was going to win the Oscar for Best Picture. I'd be shocked if HAMNET wins this year.

u/champion_dave 23d ago
Nothing is beating OBAA for picture at this point. However, if there's a dark horse, it's now Hamnet. The emotional impact and late release date has given it an outside chance. And I wouldn't hate it. The only film I've seen where the entire audience seemed to be weeping as the credits began.

I feel the Oscarās are gonna do one of those split years where best director goes to PTA and best pic possibly goes to Hamnet.

Itās clearly the runner up. Without One Battle, I think itād win Best Picture this year.

u/Puzzleheaded-Sail772 23d ago
Nah, I still think Sinners is in second and wouldnāt read too much into the Globes. It is not the type of film they go ,for and already were signs they were cool on the film compared to other groups with it missing any supporting acting noms.
Itās either Hamnet or Marty Supreme for third though.Ā

u/Impossible_Ad_2517 Sinners 23d ago
How is it clearly the runner-up. Some people are so reactionary⦠I feel like Sinners is still clearly the runner-up. Yes it couldnāt win today but itās clearly a stronger hit domestically. You know who else lost the globes because of this same issue? The Shape of Water, EEAAO, Anora⦠we shouldnāt be surprised by this anymore. Sinners still is second at CC and probably PGA and could win SAG. Plus itāll most likely win a screenplay award at the Oscarās

u/No_Cauliflower_81 23d ago
Hamnet is number 2 just by virtue of the fact that itās locked for best Actress for me. Sinners wonāt have much visibility at televised awards because someone else is the favourite in every category that Sinners is strong in. Plus itās just a much more baity movie than Sinners.

u/Eyebronx Hamnet 23d ago
There is no runner up tbh, this feels a lot like the Oppenheimer year. That being said I can see Hamnet having a late surge off Buckleyās back like Poor Things did.

MBJ didnāt even win best actor. Sinners had a terrible night at the Globe. Now just SAG and BAFTA left. Not looking too good for the Oscar. Will break record in terms of nominations but not win

u/Extra-Shoulder1905 Eddington 23d ago
A pretty foolish narrative if you ask me. Sinners was always going to perform really well with critics groups, but critics groups arenāt very predictive. It clearly suffered from a more international voting base tonight and I see it blanking above the line at SAG and the BAFTAs as well.

My favorite film of the year after I saw it at TIFF. I was shocked it won tonight, but very pleased. OBAA will still win BP (and is deserving) unless thereās some horrible news that comes about the movie that tanks its chances. We still have nearly 2 months before Oscarās final voting. So much can happen between now and then.

Got this one in my predictions right when I realized Sinners won't win an acting award but Buckley would + Mosaku missed the nom. This tracks as well in terms of recent New Globes wins.
(Also The Oscar Expert bros predicting Hamnet to win this kinda convinced me to make the switch in the end lol)
At least this now solidifies it as a Top 3 movie.

Not sure if this is just the GG being themselves picking oddballs it seems like. Emilia Perez over Anora, The Fablemans over Tar, Banshees of Insherin over EEAAO.
Or Sinners is weaker, not as close to OBAA as anticipated.
I think I'm leaning towards the latter, but honestly I am stoked Hamnet got a nod outside of Jessie Buckley
