DGA, PGA & SAG Nominations Reactions - For Your Consideration 

1.) 65% broadcast TV is declining, 35% people are caring less. 2.) I watch because I love cinema and art and the celebration and recognition of it keeps the business of it alive. 3.) rating would definitely go up on streaming.

Angela Bassett is very respected among her peers and can get the passion votes. Kerry Condon isn't known enough in the industry. And rewarding Colin Farrell, might be enough.

Best show on You Tube right now. Very smart discussions and they respect their own opinions even when they don't agree. Keep it up guys!

Perri! I am Irish and you are pronouncing it correctly!

This episode made me fall in love with Jeff Sneider.

I need to watch half of these movies still! I love how Perri always looks shocked by things that Jeff says haha.

As an international movie fan, I am veeeery excited about the move to streaming for the SAGs (and potentially other shows in the future). Besides the Oscars, none of the awards shows are broadcast here and even with a VPN it is suuuper difficult to find a way to watch a stream somewhere. My Globes stream was a mess and I missed 1/4 of the speeches. Netflix would be so much easier

I think the ratings will go up if it’s on streaming! As an international fan I would love to be able to watch these award shows live like I can for the Oscars!

Been a long time FYC watcher - this is the best episode you’ve ever done! Just honest takes from all of you and I LOVE it

I agree with Jeff that Top Gun was a much bigger job for directing than Women Talking. I doubt Kosinski wins anything but I'm glad for him to be recognized for his work.

The perri and Jeff disrespect of Angela Bassett… wow

Some of Jeff’s comments are completely way off

Y’all gotta stop looking at Angela as just a “Marvel role”. Look at everything she does in that film. If it were in any drama, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Add in the she’s never won an Oscar and she’s having a career renaissance the last few years, she’s got the narrative.

The Angela Bassett conversation is interesting. I see her winning an Oscar this year though. She is the Queen

Told y’all about Angela. Oscar nom coming and probably win.

Everything Everywhere for the win! Wild that Stephanie Hsu isn’t being talked about a lot more. She deserves to be nominated over her counterpart and frankly should be talked about as a front runner.

I think Ana de Armas has a legit shot in Best Actress. I mean Colin Farrell started his Globes speech congratulating her. Blonde may be super controversial but it’s clear there’s passion for her performance out there

Wonderful debate about merit at the end. Excellent example on how to strongly disagree with respect. I love to watch the awards shows but I simply will not watch ads. Therefore I resort to nefarious methods to get it done. But put it on a streamer with no ads, and I'm in.

I was one of the few that saw she said, that movie does not come close to top gun, come on perri, you’re loosing credibility

Lots of exciting energy in this episode! This is getting me more hyped for the Oscar nominations. Honestly, they should put these awards shoes on streaming so they’re more easily accessible because a lot of people only have streaming. Thanks for another great episode Scott, Jeff, and Perri. Oscar Nominations Let’s gooooo! 🙌🏾 39:46

So, I'm almost 30. Most people I talk to around my age don't watch anything on broadcast TV anymore (CBS, NBC, ABC, etc.). They watch Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, and other streaming services. If Netflix advertises SAG at the top of their front page for the week before the show, and then has the show live as soon as you open the app (maybe in a muted mini-screen that you can expand by clicking on it), I have no doubt that some of my friends would watch.

These award shows need to be streamed. I panic every year with the Oscars because there is no easy way to watch. Last year I had to get a Fubo TV free trial just to watch, and they ended up stealing about $70 bucks from me.

Australian here, I normally don't watch the globes but this year it was on one of our streaming services and i watched it live. Take that for what you will.

Why, Perry and Jeff, overruling Angela Bassett for Oscar noms when she got SAG nod. Are you forgetting that there is a big percentage of the actors branch in the Oscars?

The Oscars are really an international event, and as a non us citizen, I'd love to be able to stream it live on netflix. As for the show having value for a streaming service, I think the value is - keeping existing subscribers satisfied, which should be important to services that have been seeing a decline in subscribers in two consecutive quarters.

Love all you three !!

Angela Bassett has the best narrative to win and if anyone from Marvel was going to win an Oscar, it would be her. If you compare Bassett’s performance to Curtis’ performance, Bassett’s is more in line with other Oscar winners. I think the Oscar is going to be between Condon and Bassett, but I think Bassett has a better chance to win.

“Not everyone has got hotdog fingers” Well not everyone has friends who has cut off their fingers. Like what the heck kind of a rebuttal is that? lol 😂

I like the idea of having it open to the world on RU-vid

I really hope Angela Bassett wins. I can't believe she's never won an Oscar before. This is a long time coming. She was phenomenal in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Every scene was electric.

Perri the legend. The mogul

I love the idea of streaming awards shows - I live in Australia and the Golden globes were streamed on Stan an Aussie streaming service this year. I loved it because I could watch the show in my own time.

Nominating a woman to fulfill a quota is not the argument anyone is making. The point is that it’s impossible not to notice a pattern over many seasons where projects directed by women go unrecognized. I can’t believe it’s just men consistently dominating the category on merit alone.

Great convo all! I really think Paul Mescal, Jeremy Pope, John Boyega or Cooper Raif, Ralph Finnes could fill that fifth slot. They are all deserving. And I do think Charlotte Wells deserves a nom. I would keep Kosinski tho because he does too. Imo. I’d actually put Cameron, Wells, Kosinski, Daniels as locks with the fifth being Spielberg, Polly, Ostend, McDonnagh or Field. Perri Rocks !! There should be room for everyone i celebrating film. Actually Everyone.

It was either this, or do more driver's ed. I chose this. I love you guys so much.

James Cameron missing DGA nomination is a cruel joke.

Agree with Scott on marketability, after the globes I binged Abbott elementary and ❤ it!

Paul Mescal would deserve the win, nevermind the nomination. But any of those top 4 I'd be delighted with, or Tom or Adam. GOATED Best Actor race this year

I just watched an interview with Martin McDonagh who pronounced Barry Keoghan's last name as key-OH-gun. There you go, Martin ought to know. ; )

The problem for Banshees is it's like "The Power of the Dog" in that it's audience score is not as good as Top Gun or EEAAO.

I really hope The Whale starts getting more noms (my favorite of the year), and Tar starts gaining momentum to take Best Picture (my favorite with any chance of winning). My other two favorites were Pearl and The Northman, both of which should get some nominations, but awards branches are just going to continue ignoring the existence of both…

I'd totally watch all any awards if they were on a streaming service I had - Netflix, Prime etc. would love that!

I do watch the Academy Awards. Host parties at home for them actually. And if a streaming service hosted it, I'd be all for it. Especially if it meant no commercials. Maybe a good spot to put song and score performances in between award presenations.

Love the show and look forward to watching it every week! I will say that I think awards show’s ratings are going down because most nominated movies (not all) are smaller films that don’t resonate with the general movie going audience.

having the awards on streaming would be great! specially for those that dont have cable anymore and dont live in the US , I have no way of watching them until I see youtube clips of the ceremony.

I love film/TV so of course, I tune in for award shows. I agree with Perri. I don’t think putting them on streaming would do anything. People are just going to watch the results later on social media.

Guys, about the awards shows, I'm from Brazil and i dont get NBC here, so i need to find a link somewhere to watch, moving it to a streaming service i think could bring a more broad globeal audience, even though people really are disconected to awards shows, but the ones who enjoy it may get a chance to watch it live and bring some numbers.

Answer to Mance question: Yes I would watch more award shows on a streaming service! I don't have cable nor a TV ;)

Basset could pull a Dench's Shakespeare in love honestly. I hope De Leon, Condon and Hsu get in. They are my faves this seasons. And about the Oscar's streaming, they should just post it on youtube. International audiences would surely watch the thing live or when we want to later.

Yeah FYC !! So many deserving nominees But I do think charlotte wells and James Cameron deserved DGA nods And Judd Hirsch needed a sag nod as well. And so many more !!

Also, Oscars moving to Netflix would be unfathomably based

To answer Scott's question, most awards shows like the Globes and SAG don't air in the UK. There's no way to watch them here (that I know of), so if they air on streaming they'll instantly reach more people. Also, Jeff, I watched Athena on your recommendation and I couldn't agree with you more that it had the best cinematography of the year! I have no idea why it's not being talked about anywhere, its very impressive.

I think streaming the award shows on Netflix and the like is a great development for international fans, finally some justice! Of course I prefer watching on Netflix, for one, I won’t have to deal with the horrendous dubbing that happens live every year and listen to the awkward noises from the sound room 😅

Wish Michelle And Mia got nominated for The Fablemans And Pearl At SAG. Glad Joseph got nominated and hope this leads to a oscar nomination.

To be fair, while the Globes ratings were down, they were trending all over the internet and media for 3 days after. I wouldn't wash my hands as if they are DOA. Angela got a much needed boost with her win. Her career and narrative will 100% increase her Oscars chances. Fabelmans is not taking the big prizes at the end of this. It's just not happening. Many tried to discount Ana's chances this season and although I have a lot of issues with Blonde, I'm glad to see her recognized. Couldn't agree more with Perri's commentary on EEAAO. This is truly Michelle Yeoh's year, she's winning that Oscar.

Joseph Kosinski directed the most difficult movie to direct .. PERIOD

Love this show! I don't know if you guys control this but I'm getting ads every four minutes or so, so hard to keep track of the conversation.

I would definitely watch if it were on Netflix. The reason no one watches is that nobody has cable anymore, we all just have a few streaming services. Also it would have to be live or damn near live because once everyone is talking about the night and the results, well then I wouldn't bother watching🤷‍♀️

I think EEAAO is more of a media darling than anything and won’t end up getting much awards love except for Quan, who is adorable in it. I gave the film itself a half hour and then I was out. It was way too frenetic and downright smug. It reminded me why I hate the modern day Doctor Who series so much. And the modern day Sherlock Holmes series. I’m glad Michelle Williams was snubbed. I thought her performance was a crock of shite, all LOOK AT ME! I’M ACTING! And in the close-ups she looked unintentionally creepy. And I loved her in Fosse/Verdon.

I hope and pray Angela wins the Oscar to prove them wrong. For me, she was the best in the whole category. When I watched her scenes I didn't feel like I was in a Marvel movie. She gave you heartbreak, anguish, fear, ferocity, anger, tenderness, bravery... so many emotions. And TWO killer scenes!

I don't have easy access to these awards shows in the UK - if they were on Netflix I would be watching - I think a worldwide audience is there and waiting

In the streaming debate, streaming will be great for us international fans that sometimes cant watch the awards legally

Streaming is the way to go...especially the oscars.

HOW did u guys NOT include Angela Basset..?? she's the one who's been getting the BIGGEST & loudest buzz for at least a nomination,. R U all three CRAZZZYYYY....???? LOL

Alfred Hitchcock Stanley Kubrick and Christopher Nolan all are some of the greatest directors of all time. None have a Oscar for directing

As far as the award shows are concerned, I'll watched them on cable if the nominees are something I'm interested in, and if they were on a streaming service I would watch them back on replay or live.

I think when it comes to the 5th slot for some of these awards (Director, Actor, Supporting Actress) and other categories you have to look to the support of the International branch where the membership has grown the most. Therefore, I'm predicting Edward Berger (All Quiet On The Western Front), Paul Mescal (Aftersun) & Dolly De Leon (Triangle Of Sadness) to snag the 5th slot.

Will Lisa Marie Presley's tragic sudden death have any influence on Oscar voters? She was a big proponent of Elvis the movie and Austin Butler. Her last public appearance was at the Golden Globes supporting the picture. Will Academy members vote for the movie or Austin Butler as a kind of memorial to Lisa Marie?

The Oscars is really the only awards show that has any value for most people and that has been falling like a rock. To long of a show for most people. Not to slight any category but I would say most people are interested in 6 categories (Best Picture, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor & Actress & Director) Because the show is so long I think a lot of people now record it and then they can watch the awards they are interested in seeing and skip the rest including all the commercials.

What is going on with Jeff and EEAAO this year? he wasnt hating that hard on Chastain last year. additionally, how the hell can we compare the directorial feet of the Daniels with the directorial feet of the Fabelmans

I just watched the Golden Globes replay on the peacock app! I love the award shows, i just dont have cable, i only have streaming services at home…so if all the shows appear on netflix, peacock etc… i thinks its good idea

Angela Basset will win, watch

I actually watched the Golden Globes on Peacock

Yeah the disrespect for Angela Bassett is absolutely ridiculous. She could win on name alone. She is a legend who hasn't gotten nearly the amount of opportunities she should have gotten. They just have something against Angela Bassett...I wonder what it is. Something I would expect from one of these people on the panel, not the other one. Angela Bassett was last nominated 30 years ago and yes, should have won the Oscar for What's Love Got to Do With It. If she is not the frontrunner who is?. It is truly laughable.

I don't see how The Fabelmans is "fading". It won the Globe for Drama and Director AND scored the triple crown of the Guilds -- PGA, DGA and SAGE. Right now, I think it is between Banshees, Everything and the Fabelmans. Best money is on any of those three. Joseph Kosinski getting a DGA nomination for huge for him and the film. But at the same time, how I can consider TGM to be a "front-runner" if it didn't score any relevant SAG nominations (Stunt Ensemble isn't an Oscar category)? The best pathway for TGM is to win the PGA, WGA (adapted), and ACE or PGA and WGA. The ratings for award shows are down for two reasons: (1) Less and less people are watching "television television". People would rather spend money on streaming services and high speed internet. Moving these to streaming makes a whole lots of sense. More accessible to audiences. We cannot logically use the same metrics of the past for viewership. (2) Celebrities are all over social media platforms. People tuned in because they want to see famous people, now it is everything.

As someone that is the target demo for awards shows and hasn’t been watching as regularly as I would I 100% think the awards ratings have plummeted because of their exclusive airing on network television. Most people of my generation (born 1980) and younger have been anti network cord cutters for years now. When talking with friends the biggest hurdle has been not being able to watch because its on network tv. Used to be that network tv was ubiquitous and easy to access but not anymore. Trying to watch without having a cable subscription has been the number 1 hurdle for me. I guarantee if awards shows like SAG and the Oscars head to streaming the ratings numbers will increase significantly.

I’d absolutely watch all the awards shows (and shows from years prior) if they put them on streaming. I don’t have access to standard television, and that’s a running problem for my participation in live events whether that’s the Oscars or the Olympics. I’m hoping more shows follow SAG on this one!

I wonder how y’all are going to downplay the critics choice Win Angela received? Watch y’all find a way to say she’s still not the frontrunner. Hell after her SAG win, watch y’all still say she has no chance. Just say you don’t want her to win rather than she can’t because like y’all can’t call yourselfs good Oscar predictors when you discount someone who’s winning multiple of the major awards

The PGA noms are pretty wild to be honest. The Whale hasn't been out in my country so I can't comment on it, but I don't understand how Wakanda Forever gets in over Women Talking or The Woman King

I’m in Thailand. And many award show viewers in other countries cannot watch these award shows in their countries (mine included). So i think streaming these shows might bring some more viewers, especially in these days that Americans care less (i guess) about these awards.

I watch all the award shows regardless of platform but I do agree with Perri in that their contracts would most likely shrink significantly from their network deals. Mostly due to the fact that streaming services don't have the ad revenue of networks that allows them to pay these ridiculous prices.

I’m interested in hearing all of your thoughts on the final hour campaign for Andrea Risebourough in To Leslie. I have found the social media push to be very aggressive the last couple of days.

I’d watch it more easily on streaming specially because it would be more accessible around the world. In Portugal we don’t always get US broadcast.

Answering the question at 37:20 - I don't watch the actual shows. I might change that if I could watch them at 1.5x speed online. But currently, I don't watch most awards shows, and only sometimes watch the Academy Awards if I'm super interested in a couple of the races. But I always seek out the reactions to all the shows online. I watch several different movie review channel's reactions to the GGs, the SAGs, the Oscars, etc.

Best show!!!!

I have been saying this for years, but the Oscars would benefit greatly if they allowed users to stream the show, nobody of my generation (gen z) has access to broadcast TV. It is a hassle every year to try and watch the Oscars! When a majority of the world doesn't rely on broadcast tv anymore, why would ABC or the Oscar producers expect viewership to rise? Why should anyone expect that? Its just not happening! I still believe there is a world where Oscars do matter and can be a positive influence for any kid who's interested in filmmaking or movie journalism, but as it stands, the Oscars continually make rash decisions that alienate the fanbase they already have in favor of a fanbase they know nothing about (using twitter for popular film, shortening speeches for below the line award, and getting Jimmy Kimmel to host yet again bc he's popular on RU-vid/social media). The Oscars need to feel like a genuine celebration of movies, and as a celebration, you want to share the festivities! Streaming is that one barrier that could open up the doors for the Oscars, younger generations have a higher chance of discovering the awards show and older generations who have abandoned regular TV can rediscover what makes the Oscars so great again. More people saw clips of the Oscars last year because they could easily access the clips through twitter and RU-vid. Not every year should be mired with controversy like last year, but the fact remains that more people found out the Oscars were happening that night because of social media and not because they sat down and watched it on ABC. JUST STREAM IT! The results may not be immediate but in the long run I think the benefits out way the alternative which is yet another year where Variety or whoever writes another article about Oscar viewership dipping. Viewership will rise when access to the awards show is LEGIT universal. Streaming can increase viewership overseas as well! Plenty of people overseas have to struggle to watch. It's not just domestic viewers struggling to keep up.

Best Supporting Actress this year is very competitive, tight and crowded this year!

Really enjoyed Geniuses Sneider is other level!

Oh and Barry Keoghan did confirm his last name is pronounced as “key-yo-ghun”

Watched an interview where Barry said his last name is pronounced with the g sounded out. So Keo-gen. Hope that helps Perry!

I might actually get to watch SAG this year so that’s great!

I usually only watch the oscars. But i’d watch more of them if we didn’t cut off the speeches and had fewer commericials

Variety has Spielberg, Kosinski, Field, McDonagh and wells as top contenders with Daniels, ostlund, Luhrman, Berger and Inarrtiu right behind. So if that helps

Perri is saying Barry Keoghan’s name… CORRECTLY!

Merit debate at the end. I really don’t like considering anything but merit personally. But I legitimately believe just going off merit Avatar the way of water Aftersun Top gun maverick EEAAO thirteen lives Bodies bodies bodies and triangle of sadness were all expertly directed and deserve a nomination. Merit & diversity are not opposites 🙂. I know too Gun is a blockbuster, aftersun is a first time director and EEAAO is a quirky movie but they are handled so well.

Top Gun is certainly not winning Best Picture. It barely has a chance at getting Directing or Screenplay nominations! It's the sort of thing Jeff would normally call out and debunk but I think he likes the film a bit too much. Also, totally agree with Perri regarding the female directors this year. Polley should certainly be nominated over Kosinsky. I get it's a "feat" to film real planes flying, and those scenes are incredibly done, everything outside of that is pretty bang-average.

The best picture certainties are Top Gun Maverick, Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Fabelmans, The Banshees of Inisherin, Tar, Elvis, and Avatar the Way of Water. None are directed by women so it makes perfect sense that a woman wouldn't be nominated for best director. Do we have to have one every year to prove the academy isn't sexist? Which other director do you get rid of? Clearly the favorite movies were directed by men. If Women Talking was a frontrunner and everyone loved it and Sarah Polley didn't get nominated, I could understand people being upset. But Women Talking, The Woman King, She Said, aren't high up on the list for awards. It makes perfect sense, I think Robert Eggers should be nominated for The Northman, but clearly that's not an academy favorite and that's ok.

I've rewatched the Tony Awards 3 times because it was on Paramount+. I've had to pay for live TV to see the Globes and I'd prefer not to do that because it's so expensive, so yeah, I think a move to streaming would make more sense.

The hosts are a real part of why I don't watch it any longer. People want to tune in to an enjoyable show, like the days of Neil Patrick Harris & Hugh Jackman. I would even love to see Steve Carell and Kristen Wig together

Weren’t you guys going to revisit your collective Best Director picks for the Oscars? You commented on the DGA noms but didn’t arrive at a consensus five like you’ve been doing for the other categories so far. Perhaps that will be included on next week’s show?
