Nomadland led the way with three wins- Best Picture, Best Direction, Best Actress-on a night when The Academy really did share the wealth. Its wins along with the two for The Father- Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay-gave TFF #47 a respectable total of five Oscars.
The Father' double win was part of a substantial list of two win films on the night.
The rundown of wins by film:
Nomadland- 3- Picture, Direction, Actress.
The Father- 2- Actor, Adapted Screenplay
Soul- 2- Animated Feature, Score
Judas and the Black Messiah- 2- Supporting Actor, Song
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom- 2- Costumes, Makeup/Hair
Sound of Metal- 2- Editing, Sound
Mank- 2- Production Design, Cinematography
Single feature film wins for: Minari, Promising Young Woman, Another Round, My Octopus Teacher and Tenet.
On a personal level:
I correctly predicted 16 of the 23 categories with an additional four statues going to films that I listed as Upset Specials. That's just shy of 70% which is under my average (79.6%) for the past several years.
My biggest surprise of the evening was McDormand winning Best Actress. I really did not believe she's win again so soon after her Three Billboards win.
Now we gear up with some seriousness of purpose working under the assumption the Telluride happens in 19 weeks to suss out what its lineup looks will look like.
Back to it!
