Like this year’s Best Actress and Best Actor Oscar races, which we wrote about here, the contenders in the supporting categories are also a mixture of past winners and newcomers. The pool of potential nominees includes past Oscar winners Mark Rylance and Eddie Redmayne and recent Emmy champs Jeremy Strong and Yahya Abdul-Mateen, along with Michael Keaton, Frank Langella, Joseph Gordon Levitt and Sacha Baron Cohen — and that’s just the cast of Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” which could completely fill the Best Supporting Actor category and still have people left over.

On the Best Supporting Actress side, where “Chicago 7” doesn’t have any real contenders, past winners and nominees Olivia Colman, Saoirse Ronan, Ellen Burstyn, Glenn Close and Marisa Tomei will all be in the running, alongside names that would have meant little to most voters just a few months ago: Maria Bakalova, Helena Zengel...

As with all Oscar categories, the many peculiarities of this year make it very difficult to predict how wide a net voters will cast and how adventurous they’ll be. But here’s how we think the race stands at this point.

Sneak Preview 12 HOT Titles from Netflix for 2021!!

If you love watching films on Netflix, this 2021 film line-up sneak preview video will get you excited! Netflix, once just a simple streaming site for previously produced film and television series, now leads the competitive edge as an international, corporate giant - not only in global distribution, but op-of-the-line feature film and episodic production. Growing rapidly each year since Netflix’s inception back in 1997, online streaming eventually has become the popular global choice over Box Office and Cinema attendance. With the nasty Covid-19 preventative restrictions, curfews and lockdowns literally forcing the entire planet to stay home and login online, its no wonder Netflix has quickly grown to over 200 million paid subscribers worldwide and online streaming, as a source of content distribution, has become the household norm. To please its audience this year, Netflix is releasing a fresh feature film every single week in 2021. This 2 minute, 45 second video “Sneak Previ

2021 Oscars - What to expect: 10 Nomination Predictions for Best Picture

With the beginning of every New Year comes much thought, speculation and anticipation about the year’s upcoming Academy Awards nominations. Expectations and forecasts spin around as film lovers around the world are curious which films will be in the running! Theatres and cinemas around the globe have been locked down for most of 2020 and beyond, so very few of the contending films actually had Box Office exposure, if any sort of theatrical release whatsoever. However, most of the predicted contending films have been, or soon will be, aired on streaming sites like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney Plus and some are even streaming for free on YouTube. Additional “predicted to be nominated” films, yet to be released, (Nomadland, Minari and The Father - all scheduled for release in February) may or may not hit the theatres and the accessibility to pre-watch these “predicted to be nominated” Best Pictures will certainly be different for audiences than in previous years. Also, with th

Trial of the Chicago 7 Deserves the WIN!

Only NINE days until the Oscars and I finally got 'round to watching the film nominated for Best Picture which I’ve most wanted to see, of all the nine nominees ! The Trial of the Chicago 7 . Excellent film, and if you haven’t seen it yet, jump onto Netflix , grab some popcorn and get ready for two hours of an extremely well-made political, drama, thriller. This film has been in the works for several years, with development of the script beginning as far back as 2006 when Steven Spielberg was onboard as producer. But the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike kept the film at bay for some time. Development of the script ramped up and down many times from 2006-2018, during which time there have been a lot of changes to cast, producers and directors including the exit of Paul Greengrass, Ben Stiller, Seth Rogen, Will Smith and Steven Spielberg - in the end writer, Aaron Sorkin took on the role of director and kicked some ass! With heavy hitting stars like Academy Award winners
