The industry just loves Sorkin, they are suckers for whatever he does. Just look at the email I received from a prominent Hollywood pundit back in late October, around two months before ‘Ricardos’ was set to be released. The studio had screened the film for him way in advance and he couldn’t stop raving about it to me afterwards, even calling Sorkin “a master of the game.” Another semi-shocker was the PGA nominating Lin Manuel-Miranda’s “Tick, Tick … Boom!” A film that has had a lot of industry support ever since it started being screened at the DGA, WGA and PGA theatres. It npw stands a good chance at receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. Ditto another for its star Andrew Garfield in the Best Actor category. Of course, “Being the Ricardos,” and “Tick, Tick .. Boom!” could still get Best Picture snubbed by Oscar, these sort of things have happened before and they will happen again, so don’t scratch off “House of Gucci,” “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” and “Nightmare Alley.” We also now have eight movies practically locked for Best Picture: The Power of the Dog, Belfast, King Richard, West Side Story, Dune, CODA, Don’t Look Up, and Licorice Pizza Contribute Hire me
