Feels like Oppenheimer is the favourite at these award ceremonies. Hoping Christopher Nolan gets some Academy Awards. Nolan should have won for Memento's Screenplay and Best Picture/Best Director for The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight getting snubbed at the Academy Awards will always piss me off. The Academy Awards messed everything up that year. Led to them increasing the Best Picture nominees to more than 5.

Still haven't seen Oppenheimer. I will as it's the only Christopher Nolan film I'm missing. Can you imagine if Oppenheimer wins Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr but the face front and centre of it, Cillian Murphy misses out on Best Actor? I can see that happening...

Drag Race has fully taken the “this always wins in the middle of the Emmys” crown that once belonged to The Amazing Race.

My big takeaways:

  • Oppenheimer has the most nominations. Feels like it's the favourite for Best Picture and Best Director.
  • Barbie gets a Best Picture nomination but Margot Robbie missed out on Best Actress and Greta Herwig Best Director. All three surprise me. Well I shouldn't Best Director with the Academy Awards terrible track record for female directors.
  • No Best Picture nomination for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. That doesn't surprise me.

There were a couple of years during the pandemic when it felt a lot easier to keep up with the pictures that were going to get nominated for everything. But we have kids and make it to the movies without them maybe once ever three years at this point.

So I mean, good on Nimona for getting nominated?

It's my own fault I haven't seen The Holdovers yet though. I saw Asteroid City not like that did me a lot of good apparently.

It's the best reality show on TV, so he deserves all those awards.

For the acting Oscars this year, they’re doing that thing they tried a decade-plus ago where they have five people come out to each individually speak glowingly about one nominee. If the old YouTube videos I’ve been watching are any sign, this is gonna add a bare minimum of twenty minutes to the show. 

They should just play clips. People like clips.

Off the top of my head, that was 2009 because I remember them doing that when Ledger won supporting for The Dark Knight.  That was a long ceremony.

Academy Awards tonight. My predictions.

Best Picture: Oppenheimer.

Best Director: Christopher Nolan. Most invested in this one. If I had my way, this would be Nolan's third for Best Director.

Best Actor: Cillian Murphy, Oppenheimer. Nervous that Oppenheimer wins most awards but the face of it doesn't. Can see Paul Giamatti for The Holdovers. Hope not.

Best Actress: Emma Stone, Poor Things. One of my favourite actresses ever. Love Emma Stone. Hope she beats Lily Gladstone for Killers of the Flower Moon.

Best Supporting Actor: Robert Downey Jr, Oppenheimer.

Best Supporting Actress: Da'Vine Joy Randolph, The Holdovers.

Best Animated Feature: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse but wouldn't be surprised by The Boy and the Heron.

Agree with all of the picks above, except Lily Gladstone is probably winning because a) she's fantastic, and b) Emma already has an Oscar. 

If and when you get a chance, your local arthouse theater may be doing a screening of the animated & live action shorts, which has actually given me insight this year:

Live Action Short:

SHOULD WIN -- Red, White, and Blue.  I've never heard a theater gasp the way this one did.  I won't say anything other than it's about a lady in Arkansas contemplating getting an abortion.

WILL WIN -- The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.  Wes Anderson gets his first(!) Oscar because... eh.  It's pretty, it's quirky, it's Wes Anderson.  The only thing I can see working against it is the fact that it was written by Roald Dahl (and fuck that guy). 

Animated Short:

SHOULD WIN -- Letter to a Pig.  Extremely poignant, incredibly timely, and incredibly animated. A story of what happens when vengeance takes over the heart and what it takes to break past a generational trauma.

WILL WIN -- War Is Over!   Look, it's fine.  I get the antiwar sentiment and it's going to win because "John Lennon", but it's got a clumsy story and isn't saying or doing anything new with the subject matter.   Honestly, among the 5 nominees, I had it as 5th... but yeah, I'm pretty sure it's winning.

it's still early but it looks like the Academy voters were really into Emma Stone having weird sex in Victorian times this year

I started watching that the other day, but haven’t gotten to the sex yet. Just the throwing up food so far.

there was a version with even more sex, but I don't think it was out when voting was going on, so any Oscar voters with ballgag fetishes might not have voted for Poor Things

anyways... starting to get some Oppenheimer momentum.. meanwhile, Barbie is gonna lose every award it's up for

FIFY.  Their problem with the ballgag in Pulp Fiction likely wasn't the ballgag, it was who was wearing it.
