Here's a stat I haven't seen mentioned. No one has ever won Best Actor when just winning SAG without the Globes, Critic's Choice or BAFTA.
The only lead to do it was Sarandon in 1995 while four supporting actors did:
Curtis (2022)
Freeman (2004)
Caine (1999)
Williams (1997)

Not to mention QUITE the drop for #Scream7
My box office report this weekend for @RottenTomatoes looks at the prospects for #Hoppers while #TheBride gets hyperbolized to death. Does #GOAT have a chance at $100 million? And #WutheringHeights stays in line with another Margot Robbie February film.

Referencing how people believe Eddie Murphy lost the Oscar because Norbit was released in the weeks during voting
Those saying that Jessie Buckley is Norbit’ing with her performance in THE BRIDE are embarrassing themselves

Can't tell you how excited I already am for this year's edition.
Brosnan? I think its this one - Tomorrow Never Dies
My box office report for Rotten Tomatoes this weekend. Big numbers for #Scream7 which is now a billion dollar franchise. Can #GOAT still get to $100 million. #WutheringHeights' #'s are right in line with another February Margot Robbie film. editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/week...
I joined Scott Weinberg on his Overhated podcast to talk Robert Duvall and Days of Thunder. Yes, I think its overhated. www.patreon.com/posts/overha...

Can we get a venn diagram of who stayed home during the 2024 election and those who still went to see Scream 7 this weekend?
This week's #MovieMadnessPodcast with myself & Steve Prokopy talks a lot of #Scream7. But then six other movies as well. One of them might even be good. erikthemovieman.substack.com/p/episode-63...
On this date in 1987, SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL debuted in theaters. Morgan Gire and I talked about this film at length on one of the earliest episode of The Friendship Dilemma Podcast. Give it a listen. erikthemovieman.substack.com/p/episode-3-...
