Directors Guild of America (DGA) Awatds 2020 nominations - complete list

I like these lineups a lot to be honest. I must confess I would love to have Greta Gerwig nominated for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for her work in Little Women, but the actual nominees shortlist looks great to me. I think the DGA was smart enough so they included 3 female directors for the First-Time Feature Film Director, avoiding the recent backlash some organizations faced for ignoring female directors all the way, no matter how great directing works came from female directors this year.
And, of course, I love the mention of The Peanut Butter Falcon directors in the lineup for First-Time Feature Film Director award...! One of my clear fav's of the year and also one of the most underrated movies of 2019.
Fun fact: The Irishman, Parasite and Jojo Rabbit are the only movies that got the Holy "Fourtinity" of Guilds - SAG, WGA, PGA and now DGA. So, Best Picture nominations seem locked for them. Remind you Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was deemed ineligible for WGA Awards, so...!
Have a look at the nominees shortlists below:

Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for 2019
Bong Joon-ho directing Parasite
  • Bong Joon Ho, Parasite
  • Sam Mendes, 1917
  • Martin Scorsese, The Irishman
  • Quentin Tarantino, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
  • Taika Waititi, Jojo Rabbit


Outstanding Directorial Achievement of a First-Time Feature Film Director for 2019
Melina Matsoukas directing Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith in Queen & Slim
  • Mati Diop, Atlantics
  • Alma Har’el, Honey Boy
  • Melina Matsoukas, Queen & Slim
  • Joe Talbot, The Last Black Man in San Francisco
  • Tyler Nilson & Michael Schwartz, The Peanut Butter Falcon

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today - 2017

The almost annual TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today is out, with me considering the performers' performances of 2016 also. We have a few changes since last year's list, with Greta Gerwig toping the list thanks to her last 3 great performances in Mistress America , Maggie's Plan and the Oscar buzzy acting turn in 20th Century Women . Scarlett Johansson comes second with her latest distinguished performance being in 2014 ( Under the Skin ), but she managed to be at the spotligh this year thanks to her fine turns in critically acclaimed movies: Hail, Caesar! , Captain America: Civil War , The Jungle Book (voice) and Sing (voice). Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon  and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ).

TOP 10 Most Promising Movie Actors (under 30)

Today I discussed about how awful some "teen icons" are and then we talked about some exceptions. So, I decided to make a little list, a TOP 10, with the male actors that I think that will become music in an ocean of noise somewhere in the future (I did one list before, but it was a little bit pathetic and I didn't justify my choices). Let's start... 1 - Ryan Gosling He may not have a huge list of movies in his body of work, but the few times he makes something, all the time he almost carries the movie. In fact, Gosling is a proof that talent does exist and that you don't need excentrical characters to receive raves. He rose to fame after the big screen adaptation of The Notebook (2004) and then received lots of critical praise for his performances in movies like Half Nelson (that gave him an Oscar, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations), Lars and the Real Girl (that gave him a Golden Globe, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations) and Fractur...

Oscars 2025 nominations predictions: all categories (2nd ROUND)

The award season has started with the NBR and AFI naming their best movies of the year, two of the trifeca (NYFCC and LAFCA), the Golden Globe nominations and the Critics' Choice Awards nominations (the later being the one I consider the least relevant predict-wise, since it seems mostly based on the GoldDerby pundits predictions as an attempt to get a strong correlation with the final Oscar nominations) - so, it's time to publish my new Oscar nominations predictions for the 97th edition of the Academy Awards BEFORE the Golden Globes ceremony and the SAG Award and BAFTA Award nominees are announced! The big distributors have already selected their "champions", the ones they will campaign aiming for the cinematic gold, which is an important element to have in mind, since it's extremely unlikely for a film to pop at the Oscars without a proper "behind the scene" promotion games. And there's the "Oscar type", a concept that has been changing l...
