Chalamet's gonna win this but just gotta pull for my man Moura. Great lineup.

Louis: What do you think of A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms so far if you've been watching it.

Moura and DiCaprio are superior because The Secret Agent and OBAA are much better in terms of rewatching.

Louis: With the exception of 2022 (where you put Farrell in the middle), you’ve put the perceived Best Actor frontrunner in the middle of the collage every year this decade so far, whether that’s Boseman, Smith, Murphy, Brody, and now Chalamet this year. I’m curious, is that an intentional choice from you? Or just a coincidence?

Not a great bunch of nominees, but we’ve seen worse so I'm fine with it

I still need to see Moura. Nearest theater playing it is 50 miles away.

I'm probably not seeing either Hawke nor Moura until March, so I'm shooting in the dark here.

Lol, nevermind, seems like that's the popular guess...

For what it's worth, The Secret Agent is out on VOD today, for those who still need to catch up on it.

I have a suspicion that Jordan will be getting a 4.5, which makes me curious about O'Connell's rating. It's gonna look pretty awkward if he gets the only 5 out of the Sinners cast...

Harris: let's not make weird hypothetical insinuations here.

Also here's my personal ranking of them:
1. Chalamet

3. Jordan
4. DiCaprio
5. Moura

Harris Marlowe said...

Calvin: Wasn't "insinuating" anything at all. My point is that a (very fine) performance that has gone ignored by nearly every voting body getting a 5 will look odd. I'm not even sure how likely it is for O'Connell to get a 5.
