Collider For Your Consideration: Award Season Predictions

On this week’s For Your Consideration, Collider’s awards experts Scott Mantz, Perri Nemiroff and Jeff Sneider recap the 2021 Oscars, from inevitable winners like Nomadland and its director, Chloé Zhao, to upsets in both of the lead acting categories.Before delving into the winners, the FYC hosts discuss the unprecedented ceremony itself, which saw producers Steven Soderbergh, Stacey Sher and Jesse Collins decide to end the show with Best Actor rather than Best Picture, leading to an awkward anticlimax. While the gang appreciates the fact that the producers took a big swing, the timing was certainly suspect, and the switcheroo did not pay off, as Anthony Hopkins wasn't even there to accept his award, and presenter Joaquin Phoenix was left looking like a deer in headlights.Elsewhere, Scott and Jeff relive their big bet this year after Jeff's pick Frances McDormand held off stiff competition from SAG Award winner Viola Davis and presumed favorite Carey Mulligan as well as young ingenues Andra Day and Vanessa Kirby. Perri also got a chance to gloat, as she predicted that Mank would beat out Nomadland for Best Cinematography.This marks the final FYC episode of the season, so thank you for watching this year!

On this week’s For Your Consideration, Collider’s awards experts Scott Mantz, Perri Nemiroff and Jeff Sneider offer their final 2021 Oscar predictions in all 23 categories. Yes, there are usually 24 categories, but keep in mind that the Academy will combine the two sound awards going forward.The FYC hosts are in agreement that there is a clear frontrunner for Best Picture this year as well as Best Director, even though Scott can still foresee a scenario in which voters try to spread the love, causing a split. Three of the four acting categories appear to be locked down as well, though there's still debate surrounding Best Actress, which prompts Scott and Jeff to make another bet!Elsewhere, the short films can make or break any ballot, but the gang seems to come to a consensus regarding all three winners, though as we know, anything can happen when it comes to those categories. There's also some debate swirling around Best Editing (Sound of Metal or Trial of the Chicago 7), Best Cinematography (Nomadland or Mank), and Best Production Design, which could go to Mank, The Father or Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, which seems poised to win Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.The final FYC episode of the season will arrive the day after the Oscars so be sure to come back on Monday, April 26 to watch Scott, Perri and Jeff discuss the winners, the surprises, and the Steven Soderbergh-produced ceremony itself.

On this week’s For Your Consideration, Collider’s awards experts Scott Mantz, Perri Nemiroff and Jeff Sneider recap this year's SAG Award winners and discuss whether or not they'll influence the Oscar race.The big surprise over the weekend was Viola Davis' SAG win for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, as many experts had pegged the race between Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman) and two-time Oscar winner Frances McDormand (Nomadland). Recent Golden Globe winner Andra Day (The United States Vs. Billie Holliday) was not nominated for a SAG Award this year, which may have paved the way for Davis' upset victory.The FYC hosts agree that Chadwick Boseman's posthumous SAG win cements him as the frontrunner for Best Actor at the Oscars, where the runner-ups will continue to be Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal) and Anthony Hopkins (The Father). Meanwhile, Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah) remains the frontrunner for Best Supporting Actor following a successful hosting stint on Saturday Night Live.Finally, Minari star Yuh-jung Youn triumphed at the SAG Awards, beating out buzzy newcomer Maria Bakalova, who had been tipped to win via a "leak" that proved incorrect in that category. Jeff has long pegged the veteran performer as the likely winner for Best Supporting Actress, though Olivia Colman is a past Oscar winner who could always surprise for her turn in The Father.This episode of For Your Consideration is brought to you by Movies Anywhere, a service designed for movie collectors that brings all of your favorite films together in one spot, even if they were purchased in different places.

On this week’s For Your Consideration, Collider’s awards experts Scott Mantz, Perri Nemiroff and Jeff Sneider weigh in on all the Oscar nominations, from Mank, which led the field with 10 nominations, to the surprising snubs of both One Night in Miami and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom in the Best Picture category.It seems that Judas and the Black Messiah was the late-breaking entry that threw a wrench into awards season, as not only did the film earn nominations for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay, but it also picked up a pair of Supporting Actor noms for its two stars, Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield. Apparently, the two title characters were supporting each other the whole time. Meanwhile, Glenn Close edged out Ellen Burstyn for a Supporting Actress nomination, and David Fincher did make the cut for Best Director, though the real story of that category is how Chloe Zhao and Emerald Fennell made history, as the Academy has never nominated two female filmmakers in the same year before.The next FYC episode will arrive following the SAG Awards in early April, so be sure to give this one a watch or listen since it's the last one for a few weeks.

One of the films that has been flying under the radar this awards season is A24's First Cow from writer-director Kelly Reichardt. The film boasts a 95 percent fresh rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and nearly every review has singled out Orion Lee for his terrific performance as King-Lu, a Chinese immigrant on the run for killing a Russian man, who also dreams of owning his own farm one day.Born in Hong Kong, Lee has been acting for more than a decade now, making appearances in blockbusters like Justice League and Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi, and recurring on the FX series Tyrant. After years of paying his dues onscreen, Lee finally landed a role he could really sink his teeth into with First Cow, for which he was nominated for a Gotham Award for breakthrough actor, as well as an Independent Spirit Award for his supporting turn in the film.With the voting deadline for Oscar nominations approaching soon, Collider's For Your Consideration host Scott Mantz sat down with Lee and asked him about working with Reichardt, filming in Oregon with co-star John Magaro, and why First Cow was such a gratifying project to be a part of.

On this week’s For Your Consideration, Collider’s awards experts Scott Mantz, Perri Nemiroff and Jeff Sneider weigh in on the WGA Award nominations, though they concede that the WGA doesn't influence the Oscar nominations too much due to how many screenplays are considered ineligible. That said, they can feel Judas and the Black Messiah gaining some momentum, which is reflected in their own predictions for Best Original Screenplay.Meanwhile, the FYC hosts are torn as to whether Mank helmer David Fincher is a lock for a Best Director nomination. Jeff thinks he'll have enough support from Academy voters to secure a slot, but Scott and Perri are more confident in Emerald Fennell and Lee Isaac Chung's chances for Promising Young Woman and Minari, respectively.The gang aims to record new FYC episodes on a weekly basis going forward, so give this one a watch or listen, and make sure to RATE and REVIEW this podcast, or check us out on video at https://youtube.com/collider!

After running down the list of nominees, Scott, Perri and Jeff turn their attention to their own predictions in the acting categories. There's a slot available in Best Supporting Actress that is more than open to debate, with Perri leaning towards young Helena Zengel, Scott embracing veteran Ellen Burstyn, and Jeff backing Glenn Close even though Hillbilly Elegy wasn't great.The FYC hosts are also torn on whether Chadwick Boseman is a lock for a second Oscar nomination for Da 5 Bloods, seeing as how that movie was largely ignored by both SAG and the Golden Globes.
