It’s a damn shame Disney have no clue how to market their properties for awards season(as evidenced by how they fumbled the Oscar race for West Side Story and The French dispatch, instead trying to get Oscar voters to like Eternals and Black Widow) because it would be fun for Andor to be a legitimate contender and I would argue is the most deserving of the shows that have been released so far.

The French dispatch had no chance of ever being nominated for anything. Delusional.

I'm not sure if I'd agree that either of those movies should have won any Oscars yet alone Best Picture, but Nomadland was Searchlight and won the previous year.

West Side Story is honestly one of Spielberg's best movies. I'd probably have it in his top 10. The problem is that nobody saw it in theatres because of covid.

I mean, CODA won best picture that year. Wasn’t a particularly strong year

Huh you’re right. I guess Andor does have a shot if the Emmy voters can look past their Succession bias.

I liked CODA but you're right, not the strongest year. I imagine it won by getting a lot of 2nd places. If I were voting I'd have ranked them:

  1. Power of the Dog

  2. Drive My Car

  3. CODA

  4. Licorice Pizza

  5. West Side Story

  6. Duen

  7. Don't Look Up

  8. King Richard

  9. Nightmare Alley

  10. Belfast

Although there are some other movies I liked more. Red Rocket, The Lost Daughter, The Worst Person in the World, After Yang would rank higher than most of those.

Andor could sweep the Guest actor/actress category. Insane they didn't push for that.

In terms of the Guest Actor category, I think Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett's performances in Episode 3 of The Last of Us would put them as frontrunners for it.

Maybe so, but I would argue Andy Serkis deserves a nomination (assuming he isn't in too many episodes to be counted as a guest actor).

I'd also give F. Murray Abraham a nomination for his episode in Cabinet of Curiosities.

Might actually be a good thing for serkis, since he then wouldn't be competing with the last of us crew, instead going up for supporting actor, which currently feels like a weak category outside succession.
