Many Oscar voters, like this one, respond to emotion, and deny new Oscars to people who have already won.
A member of the Academy directing branch goes through the categories. He’s seen almost everything, even the shorts.
And not one vote for supposed Best Picture frontrunner “Green Book.”
Our voter loves “Roma,” but that doesn’t mean votes for the film in every category it’s nominated.
But the helmer still casts a ballot for the “American Crime Story” edition and several of its stars because “it takes a lot of risks and mainly makes it work.”
A win for the live concert special, starring John Legend, would now also serve as a tribute to late producer Craig Zadan, who died this week at 69.
Also: With “Late Night with Seth Meyers” not in the running, a vote for “Jimmy Kimmel Live” as Outstanding Talk Show: “The best right now.”
Also: A big push for “The Americans” and stars Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys in their swan song.
“This Is Us” and “Black-ish” earn this voter’s respect for keeping up the quality despite having to produce such longer seasons.
Also: Support for “The Americans,” “Atlanta,” and the late Anthony Bourdain: “I mean…we have to.”
On Bill Hader: “How can “Stefan” be this subtle and good every episode?” And Henry Winkler: “There is no better doddering oldster in the game today.”
