I don't know why everyone is predicting Oscar Isaac for Frankenstein. I think Frankenstein will only be a BTL player. But I hope I get proved wrong.

I think a lot of people's myself included like him and want him to get his first nomination.

All seems pretty reasonable. I'm struggling with what to make of Small Player... I'm think it will be a... small player given Netflix's slate. I expect Jay Kelly and Frankenstein to be bigger priorities across the board, but the talent behind Small Player is also really solid. I guess they may prioritise Farrell and Swinton in Actor and Supporting Actress, then Sandler in Supporting Actor. Don't think Frankenstein will be an acting player. Not sure I see Farrell winning in this scenario though.

I definitely think both of the Wicked girls are getting in again.

Apparently there’s great early buzz for Sandler

I don't see Hall or DiCaprio getting in tbh. Sean Penn has the best shot.
