73rd Primetime Emmy Award Nomination Predictions

This year’s Emmy Awards is going to be a sh*tshow. Not in terms of quality – rumors support the theory that the Emmys have been really into the better shows out there, so the odds of an Emily in Paris fiasco are minimal (but not impossible). No...

93rd Academy Award Predictions: Best Supporting Actress

I have one more acting race to break down before I can unveil my full list of predictions, and it is the hardest race of the lot. Seriously, I’m not sure any of my Best Supporting Actress predictions will be right until Monday morning – and even...

93rd Academy Awards Predictions: Best Supporting Actor

Every year, the hardest category to predict is far and away Best Supporting Actor. There’s always a ridiculous amount of great supporting performances, and it’s always hard to determine who will end up shining through. And that’s before the...

93rd Academy Award Predictions: Best Actress

It’s rare that we have a year as impressive as this one in the Best Actress race. It shouldn’t be that way – we’ve experienced some of the best female performances in recent memory in the past few years. Yet the Academy still skews male, and...

93rd Academy Award Predictions: Best Actor

If you want to compete in Best Picture, you have to compete in Best Actor. It’s a sad rule, but it’s true. The Academy (and America at large) loves a movie about Great Men doing Great Things, or Trouble Men descending into madness. In the last...
