After the surprise SAG support, Bohemian Rhapsody lands a PGA nod
The PGA is a very important industry guild, the only one that uses the same kind of voting system that the Academy does, which is why their winner is very often the Best Picture winner as well (as it was last year, with The Shape of Water). Their nominees match Oscar Best Picture by about 80-90%. Take out Crazy Rich Asians and A Quiet Place and this list looks like the Best Picture list to me (the Academy doesn’t have the full ten, like the PGA does). Remember how I said if Bohemian Rhapsody got a PGA nomination it was probably happening in Best Picture? Well it just did, so it looks like that’s a thing. The only chance for something to make it in that didn’t here is probably the critical darling If Beale Street Could Talk, but it’s looking like that one might not be as loved by the industry, so this could just be it. Too bad about First Reformed and First Man too- those were really great movies that deserved more recognition.
