Wouldn't it be something if he won this award? That performance was tucked in right there at the end of the year. And BOOM! It had a huge impact! Just goes to show what each opportunity can do.

Talking about awards... BR nominations discussion and predictions from The Guardian: amp.theguardian.com/film/2019/jan/04/golden-globes-2019-film-categories-who-win-favourite-star-born-wife-bohemian-widows-buster-scruggs?__twitter_impression=trueGolden Globes 2019: who will win – and who should win – the film categories
The Favourite, A Star Is Born, The Wife and Bohemian Rhapsody are likely winners for various awards on Sunday; but Widows, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Shoplifters and Roma deserve recognition too Best film (drama)The best dramas list for the Globes – to be presented on 6 January – contains something notable yet hardly noted. It puts African American-themed films in the majority: three out of five. Ryan Coogler’s colossally successful Afrofuturist Marvel superhero movie Black Panther, Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman and Barry Jenkins’s James Baldwin adaptation If Beale Street Could Talk. All three are really substantial movies, though I think Lee’s is tonally uncertain in a way that Jenkins’s and Coogler’s aren’t. It could well be that Beale Street will win, and no one would quarrel with rewarding the artistry and moral seriousness of a film-maker such as Jenkins. Bohemian Rhapsody – the story of Freddie Mercury and Queen – is a surprise entry: thoroughly enjoyable but very much all about Rami Malek’s bravura performance. But I have to say that Bradley Cooper’s richly powerful and unashamedly emotional melodrama A Star Is Born gets my support — and I suspect that of Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) voters as well. Will win: A Star Is Born Should win: A Star Is Born Shoulda been a contender: Roma Best actor (drama) Feelgood Freddie … Joe Mazzello, Ben Hardy, Rami Malek and Gwilym Lee in Bohemian Rhapsody. Photograph: Alex Bailey/AP This is a slightly conservative selection, but the inclusion of Rami Malek’s extravagant portrayal of Freddie Mercury is a shrewd move and my guess is that it will win (although gender politics is a point at issue here – singalong feelgood movies are acceptable when they are about men, but why don’t the Mamma Mia! movies get the same breaks?) John David Washington’s performance in BlacKkKlansman is impressive but the film’s quasi-Brechtian alienations and comic cartoonery arguably mean that it is more difficult to engage with his character emotionally. Willem Dafoe’s performance as Van Gogh in Julian Schnabel’s At Eternity’s Gate has all the integrity and self-possession you would expect, but it’s a rather non-envelope-pushing film. Lucas Hedges (last seen in Kenneth Lonergan’s Manchester By the Sea) stars in the gay conversion drama Boy Erased, but this might be a fish-in-a-barrel liberal issue film that will leave the HFPA unmoved. My feeling is still that Bradley Cooper’s performance is the best. Will win: Rami Malek for Bohemian RhapsodyShould win: Bradley Cooper for A Star Is Born Shoulda been a contender: Ethan Hawke for First Reformed Certainly as a critics' film, A Star Is Born has the edge. I thought performances were excellent, although I felt no real romantic or sexual tension between Cooper and Gaga. But separately they were superb. JMO. BoRhap is a fan's film. Viewers love the Freddie and his music, and they love the band itself. So, the movie, with its apparent "weaknesses," doesn't bother the fans one bit. To me, ASIB TRIED HARD to have a lot of heart, but didn't quite work for me. BoRhap DID HAVE a lot of heart without even trying.

I have not seen A Star Is Born but I guess I heard so much about GaGa that I thought it was a given that these awards and the Oscar were hers, lol. And not sure why this person would think BoRhapsody is like the Mamma Mia movies. BR is not a "singalong feelgood movie." And it did not bother me that they did not spend most of the movie on Freddie's sex life (as some had wanted). I thought it was a good movie.

Thanks for the GORGEOUS pic at the top of the front page!! Very refreshing for me after all the glitter, and make-up, and pearls. Favorite look ever.
(oh now that I finished reading through the thread, I see that @lurleene already beat me to the compliments on the front page pic)

While I thought Rami did a fine job with the final script and the Live Aid recreation very well done, I didn't find Bo Rhap a 'Best Picture' Oscar worthy movie script. Just IMO. But I haven't seen A Star is Born yet either to compare it with. I am interested to see the scenes left on the cutting room floor. While I would be thrilled for QAL if it nominated and won (Best Picture), I'd also be side eying the Academy just a bit. Of course I didn't find 'Shape of Water' all that amazing either last year, so what do I know. Rami deserves a nom.

Rami as well as all supporting actors were excellent, especially given the script they were dealt. i am rooting for Rami to get the “best actor” with all my heart! And for the movie as a fan of Bri and Roger. ![](http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Chapf%20smileys/sunning.gif)
