“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and “Parasite” are the top movies at the 2020 Gold Derby Film Awards with 11 nominations apiece including Best Picture. But who else made the cut? Watch our nominations announcement above, and scroll down for our complete list of contenders in 22 categories. You can vote for the winners right now here in our predictions center. You have until Midnight Eastern Time on February 1 to cast your votes. Feel free to jump right in because you can keep editing your votes as often as you like. No votes are final until polls close on February 1.
These nominations were decided by more than 2,700 registered Gold Derby users who voted for their favorites on a preferential ballot (you can register here if you’re not signed up already). The winners will now be determined by our users using a simple plurality vote. You’ll no longer rank your favorites; in this round you’ll simply choose one nominee from the list of contenders. The nominee with the most votes wins. Simple as that. Winners will be announced in a video ceremony on the morning of Tuesday, February 4.
We nominate 10 films for Best Picture (instead of the sliding scale between 5 and 10 that the Oscars currently use). Joining “Hollywood” and “Parasite” in the top category are “Little Women” (nine total nominations), “The Irishman” and “1917” (eight nominations apiece), “Joker” (seven nominations), “Marriage Story” (six nominations), “The Farewell” and “Knives Out” (four nominations apiece) and “Jojo Rabbit” (three nominations).
Our nominations overall were heavily slanted towards those Best Picture nominees. Those 10 films account for 71 out of the 115 total nominations across all categories (62%). The only other films with multiple nominations were “Rocketman” with three and eight other films with two apiece: “Ad Astra,” “Avengers: Endgame,” “Ford v Ferrari,” “Frozen II,” “Judy,” “The Lighthouse,” “Pain and Glory” and “Us.”
Our users greatly diverged from the Oscars in the four acting categories, where only 12 out of the 20 match. Performers snubbed by motion picture academy but nominated by us included lead actresses Lupita Nyong’o (“Us”) and Awkwafina (“Farewell”); lead actor Adam Sandler (“Uncut Gems”); supporting actresses Cho Yeo Jeong (“Parasite”), Jennifer Lopez (“Hustlers”) and Zhao Shuzhen (“Farewell”); and supporting actors Willem Dafoe (“Lighthouse”) and Song Kang Ho (“Parasite”).
Also differing from the Oscars, our voters swapped out Todd Phillips (“Joker”) for Greta Gerwig (“Little Women”) in the Best Director race. Which nominations do you like the most? Who was unjustly snubbed? Which nominees are grossly overrated? Discuss this and more with your fellow movie fans here in our forums.
