epilogue wrote:New Cloverfield sequel in the works. JJ producing. Joe Barton (The Ritual; showrunner for HBO Max's 'Gotham P.D.') will write the script.

I'd be so much more interested in this if I thought they could match 10 Cloverfield Lane

Idk I liked the prequel they did

Eventually it melts

Ma Rainey got slighted. Should have several more noms including Adapted Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture.

Also, why is Borat adapted screenplay? What's it adapted from?

Characters from the TV show, I suppose

I guess?

Seems like a stretch.

I think the definition of adapted is very broad. Before Midnight was nominated in the adapted category because it's based on characters from Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. Toy Story 3 was nominated as adapted because it's a sequel. Original really means original

O Brother, Where Art Thou was nominated in adapted because it is based on The Odyssey, lol

pretty boring stuff

Glad to see Sound of Metal get a BP nom. I liked that one a hell of a lot better than Nomadland and Chicago Seven.

less narrative, more affect-driven?

No

I've only seen Borat, Another Round, and Promising Young Woman. I'm looking forward to both Judas & the Black Messiah and Minari. And I'll eventually get around to watching Mank, Nomadland, Chicago 7, and some others. Is what it is
