It's always hard to tell with these things WHY certain people were invited, or if other people were included but couldn't come or chose not to -- but, for example, Emma Stone wasn't there so does that mean Deadline is writing off *Battle of the Sexes*? And Jennifer Lawrence IS there, so does Deadline assume she is catnip to nominating bodies and that her work in *Mother* \-- ugh, sorry, *mother!* \-- will be recognized even though that movie was so divisive? And is Jessica Chastain really getting buzz for *Molly's Game*, which kinda came and went? Didn't ALL those movies drop by the wayside a bit? (WHOOPS: I'm conflating *Molly's Game*'s TIFF showing with an actual premiere; it hasn't come out yet.)

The answer: Deadline doesn't actually decide this stuff so none of this matters, and I bet they just invited whomever they could get. BUT! It's fun to think about, and I just most of all hope that Margot Robbie in *I, Tonya*, is as good as I want her to be. I would LOVE IT if somehow she got nominated for an award and BROUGHT TONYA HARDING TO THE OSCARS. CAN YOU DIG IT.
