The thing is most people don't even know who Singer is, and HFPA or whatever they are called, are assuming that this is simply another All the Money in the World case, and they are allowed to vote for the film because of Singer being fired.

I think Singer's career is still pretty much at the finish line.£

he just got a $10 million deal for Red Sonja

you think his latest movie winning best drama at the globes is going to reverse that?

EDIT: also, it's not just the HFPA. It's SAG and PGA too.

That raises a question though. If Singer were a producer, would the movie still have been nominated?

is there a reason you can't accept other people think it's genuinely a great movie even if you don't

even josh singer, the fella who wrote first man and the post, glowingly praised it. loads of others have too.

on Black Panther's effects from the annual bake off-

Before so much as a frame of the film had screened, the mere mention of “Black Panther” elicited cheers. Clearly, the room was a big fan of “Black Panther.” The fact that VFX supervisor Dan Sudick had been present as one of the “nominees” for each of the first three presentations also garnered both applause and laughs, with one member saying “Does he ever sleep?”

Given that the film’s CGI has been received more divisively than other blockbusters on the list, the VFX team wisely avoided showing on some of the more rubbery moments (like the final fight) and instead emphasized the difficulty of creating entire worlds. They reminded us that Wakanda was in reality just Atlanta. The VFX team had to create 50 million digital trees and thousands of digital extras. When designing builds, they had to incorporate vibranium into every design and were not allowed to use concrete in any structure. Given how notoriously difficult water is to animate, the reel emphasized the amount of digital water created for river and waterfall sequences. I didn’t hear a single voter mention the film afterward, but there was clearly a lot of love for the film in the room. It will likely get in by virtue of its impressive background designs and overall love for the film.

Cuarón is a nice surprise and Libatique doing cinematography for Venom and A Star Is Born will never not be funny.

i love the cinematography for ASIB but Beale not getting in instead is one of the more perplexing snubs this season

genuinely don't know why Beale doesn't have more support all around
