The Natural Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited January 23 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Basically Oliver Stone had the same reaction everyone did before they saw anything about the Barbie movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 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.

(BP) Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
