Experts slugfest: Will ‘The Holdovers’ win over Oscar voters? Plus: Gotham Awards nominations
Awards season is in full swing now with the first set of nominations of the season. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to discuss the Gotham Award nominations, “The Holdovers” hitting theaters, “Killers of the Flower Moon” reactions and more.
Gotham noms were announced Monday and were topped by “All of Us Strangers” with four bids. But of course, the Gothams’ biggest news this year was the removal of its budget cap. While some big films like “Oppenheimer” and “Killers of the Flower Moon” did not submit at the Gothams, “Barbie” did and Ryan Gosling nabbed a nom in the gender-neutral supporting performance category. Could he actually win?

Meanwhile, another top five film is opening this weekend: “The Holdovers” will be in limited release before going wide on Nov. 10. The film, which reunites Alexander Payne and Paul Giamatti, has been holding down the fifth spot in the Best Picture odds and is currently predicted to win two categories, Best Supporting Actress for Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Best Original Screenplay for David Hemingson. But are we underestimating Dominic Sessa? The newcomer is in eighth place in Best Supporting Actor.
Elsewhere, we discuss “Priscilla,” which is also opening in limited release this weekend, and Chris describes his third viewing of “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
