Directors and producers guild awards show 'Jojo Rabbit' love, leaving the Oscar race even more wide-open
‘1917' and ‘Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood’ were the big winners at the 2020 Golden Globes, further shaking up an already unpredictable awards seasonThe movie, which opens wide in theaters Friday, will likely sweep through the academy’s crafts categories when Oscar nominations are announced Monday. Nods for cinematography, production design, score, sound editing, sound mixing and visual effects are likely along with picture and director.
But for the movie to win, it will likely need a nomination for original screenplay or acting, along with film editing. And the intimate, often wordless drama, constructed to appear as if it’s one unbroken take, faces significant challenges on each of those fronts, even with the WGA nod. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts continued its longstanding tradition of being the voting group least interested in movies other than those starring and directed by white people. “Joker” led the way with 11 nominations, followed by 10 each for “The Irishman” and “Once Upon a Time” and nine for “1917.” “Jojo Rabbit” also had a decent showing with six nominations but missed out in major categories including picture and director.
But then, BAFTA is a voting body that has somehow never recognized eight-time Oscar nominee Denzel Washington. Does anything more need to be said? Because there’s a small overlap between BAFTA and Oscar voters, pundits strain to parse meaning from its choices. There isn’t much. And until the group makes some kind of meaningful change in diversifying its membership and stops passing the buck , it can go on being ignored as nothing more than a dull dog-and-pony show for the tea-and-crumpet crowd.
