    I guess my Russell Crowe hopes are going to have to be put aside. I don't get the Elordi nominations, but whatever.

    KPop Demon Hunters was quite good, but putting a streaming film in the "Cinematic and Box Office Achievement" category is just insulting. They might as well call the category "This Doesn't Mean Anything We're Just Feebly Trying To Appeal To Young People".

    Del Toro is an interesting case of "He didn't have buzz but he's the one people talk about after they actually see the movie", which is always my favorite kind of contender.

    I think Coogler and Jordan are locks, I'm not sure why people haven't said so from the beginning.
