I've seen the stage version of The Father, Gaz, and I loved that. I'm sure Hopkins was great and I'm a fan of Olivia Colman too.
Not seen Nomadland but delighted for the young director and another favourite actress Frances McDormand.
From looking at the list of titles and subject matters, thought they made good choices.

I was reading an article on the BBC News app about the Oscars yesterday where the suggestion was that the main Hollywood companies are only really interested in making blockbusters or super hero films now, which is why there were so many nominations for less well known films. I don't think "Wonder Woman 1984" got a mention The only film I've seen recently was "The Mauritanian" on Amazon Prime and it was excellent. Surprisingly (to me anyway ) so was Jodie Foster. Not one of my favourite actors. I don't think you're allowed to say actress these days. Or at least it seems to have disappeared from conversation. No gender reveal there

Although, within an Oscar context, that would leave only one award to cover both, eh, genders, sexes, whatever. Which seems silly on the face of it but I think that's the way things are going.

I highly recommend Nomadland CG. Not only for the glorious scenery, but also the very relaxed feel of the movie that was mainly supported by the ‘cast’ which were real nomads who basically live life on the road travelling in their mobile homes. It’s the type of movie that doesn’t leave your head for days.

CHIna tried their best to block her name from social media, morons.
