The South Korean sensation “Parasite” came out on top in a very international year for the Los Angeles Film Critics awards. Predicting Oscars is hardly the point.
If you’re talking about identifying and rewarding intrinsic worth, no award matters because only God can do that, and only if you believe God exists. Which many smart, lovely and worthwhile people do not. So you see the bind. But the Oscar nominees and winners absolutely identify and determine what kind of films will have an easier time getting made and marketed, especially during awards season.So when you look at this year’s “all men, all the time” list of Golden Globes nominees, it’s difficult not to lose heart. With any luck, this is the year that the Globes sees its power and influence dim.
With any luck, all the other awards voters will realize that just as #OscarsSoWhite made it clear that it was time to stop defining “best” by standards that begin with “about white people” it’s time to look beyond standards that begin with “about men.” One glance at some of the vicious social media reactions to Rapinoe’s anointment offers an explanation of why the film industry clings to its old models — change is hard and change is scary.
Without including the ratio of women directors to men directors, this is an argument, not criticism.
So
Greener Grass deserves something for sure. I thought it was a real pleasant surprise. Also Paula Beer in Transit gave a wonderfully adept performance.
Thanks for sharing your diary entry, Mary.
All based on merit. The tv nominations contain plenty of both sexes.

marymacTV All these awards are bullshit to begin with. I mean, how can you compare a small gem of a film like Booksmart to big-scale epics like Once Upon a Time... or The Irishman? I mean, it's absurd.

marymacTV Just want to know if anyone associated with the GoldenGlobes actually watched WatchmenHBO? The writing, directing, acting, overall storytelling are like nothing we’ve ever seen in TV. And they didn’t nominate the show for anything? Regina King was robbed.
marymacTV Look, it's the people that accuse us.
marymacTV What say you TinaJohnkLA?
marymacTV I reached my monthly limit? I don’t recall reading even one story from your fine paper. I demand a recount.
marymacTV The public has voted through the ratings, elites awarding elites monthly is not worthy
