Hello friends, good vibes to all.

For some, the film and television awards have lost a lot of relevance in recent years, either because they are not considered important in recognizing the work of a series or film or because of the many allegations of racism and preferences behind this particular industry. This can also be noticed in the audiences, less and less people sit down to watch these galas that usually last 3-4 hours; there are many reasons as you can see. Now, personally I like to analyze a little bit the nominations, or some of them because I have not seen everything, to see where we stand and what to expect from these awards.

The film that has more nominations (10) is one that I have not seen yet and I plan to do it in these days, I'm talking about Emilia Perez. More nominations does not imply that it is a favorite, Demi Moore's The Substance has only 5 and it is one of the most “viral” films and one that has given more to talk about in recent months and which I consider particularly very good. Conclave has 6 and films like Dune or Gladiator have 2. As I said, I haven't seen Emilia Perez but people speak very well of it, there are very few bad reviews that can be read although for others it is just another film in the pile. It will be interesting because in the comedy or musical category are The Substance, Emilia and watch out for Wicked.

In the drama category I would say that between Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones' “The Brutalist”, Timothée Chalamet's “A Complete Unknown” and Fiennes' “Conclave” is the fight. Slightly I'm leaning towards the first one, that film is very top notch indeed. It may not seem like it but this year I feel that good films came out, the thing is that many of them are not as mediatically powerful as in other years so they did not generate much noise. In terms of actors and actresses I think the trend is the same, maybe Angelina Jolie or Pamela Anderson who played great roles in their respective films. In the same way, Adrien Brody is emerging as a winner in his category, I do not speak of the rest because it would be entering a dark room.

Television has given us something to talk about, we saw a preamble in the Emmy's, we will see how the winners close these awards. The best drama series is going to win again Shogun, I said it at the time and I emphasize it, it is the best thing that was made this year on TV. And it's a “shame” because in that category are Slow Horses and The Diplomat, two great series that would deserve more recognition. And as for comedy, well, I think it's too much to debate but the hegemony of The Bear is absolute, I think it has no rival in its category. Now, the best miniseries? - if it doesn't win The Pinguin we are in a bad way, together with Shogun it's the best of the year.

This applies equally to Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti, both vastly superior to the rest. The same will happen with Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada, unless there is a surprise. And the same may happen with Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy Allen White, I do not know if I am sinning of favoritism or the obvious but I feel that the superiority of these series with respect to the others is very noticeable. The reality is that in these awards something unexpected always happens, some statuette may end up in the hands of someone totally unexpected and that is one of the reasons why these ceremonies are losing seriousness. While it is true that a couple of series are very unlikely to be swept away, it is undeniable that these three are the highlights of the year and by far.

By the way and that I let it pass. Best Animated Film, I don't understand why people don't take much notice of this category when these films are of outstanding quality. This year I think that without any doubt “The Wild Robot” should take the honors, it is a spectacular film both in plot and animation. It is in the fight with “Inside Out 2” and “Moana 2” but I think the film directed by Chris Sanders, the same of Lilo and Stitch, is going to take the statuette. Anyway, these awards are on January 5th. We will see what they end up awarding and if there was any “controversy”. Hopefully the deserving recipients will receive the recognition they deserve.
