Ryan Coogler's film seems to be the movie that people are either voting for, or voting against, in the latest report on nameless Oscar ballots.” is a tried-and-true news story that tends to crop up inevitably at some point around this time every Oscars season, as the Hollywood press spices up the march toward their big season finale by tapping a few exemplars of the 10,000-plus voting members of the Academy Of Motion Pictures Arts And Sciences to justify the various grudges, political hunches, and occasional flickers of actual taste that all end up getting filtered down to the rest of us on Oscar night.
The results are, by the very nature of the thing, anecdotal and scattershot; the usual effect being not so much a fresh understanding of how Hollywood works but a depressing insight into how arbitrarily it doesn’t.—has a bit of width and narrative to it. In this case, that means presenting the full ballots of 7 different voters, drawn from different demographics of voting branch, age, and race, to see where their heads are at, while also tracking various trends in the wider Oscar voting pool. For instance: Sean Penn voters are apparently slower than everybody else, as the co-star reportedly got a last-minute bump in the last 24 hours of voting for Best Supporting Actor. As opposed tofans, who… were not especially in evidence, with the general conclusion being that Best Actor is a heat between Indeed, the fight between those two specific movies seems to be the prevailing narrative this year, especially with the appearance of a couple of ballots indicating that Ryan Coogler’s massively nominated Southern vampire film is getting boxes ticked all the way down the line by at least some portion of the Oscar electorate. It is of the nature of this kind of conversation that is difficult not to build quick and dirty mental snapshots of certain voting trends from these brief snippets, whether they’re being provided by the “International, craft branch, over 65, white” who called Coogler’s movie “long and repetitive,” or the “American, artisans branch, under 65, Black” who called.” Also, one of the most interesting races is likely to pop up in Best Supporting Actress: Wunmi Mosaku’s riveting turn in , which should make for a pretty good match-up. As for the rest: Well, we’ll know on Sunday, March 15, won’t we?
