PAUL PREDICTS (SOME OF) THE OSCARS WINNERS This year’s Oscar race will no doubt come with some surprises. The acting categories seem pretty locked in place given that the four frontrunners (Oldman, McDormand, Janney, and Rockwell) have won every other major award so far. It’s the Best Picture and Best Director races that seem a bit more ambiguous as you can make cases for a variety of the nominees. Here are my thoughts on the top six categories And the nominees are… BEST ACTOR 1. Timothee Chalamet, Call Me By Your Name 2. Daniel Day-Lewis, Phantom Thread 3. Daniel Kaluuya, Get Out 4. Gary Oldman, Darkest Hour 5. DenzelRead More →

PAUL PREDICTS THE 2018 OSCAR NOMINEES It’s that time of the year again where I predict the Oscar nominations for Shane Slater and his website Film Actually. It’s been such a great year for film and a variety of performances that are all worthy of nominations. Frankly, it’s became one of the hardest years to predict. Tune in Tuesday morning, January 23rd to hear the nominations announced. Until then, here are my predictions. BEST PICTURE 1. The Big Sick 2. Call Me By Your Name 3. Dunkirk 4. The Florida Project 5. Get Out 6. Lady Bird 7. The Post 8. The Shape of WaterRead More →

She plays Mildred Hayes who is still grieving after the murder of her daughter, Angela.
