    Mildly embarrassed to admit this but I never saw The Goonies or any of the Indiana Jones films outside of the first one :confused: :oops:

    Perhaps this is the year I start plugging some of the holes on my pop culture radar...

    I just read up on Ke Huy Quan and I wish him all the best in his Oscar journey. Talk about patience, persistence, and perseverance paying off:

    "Following roles in the sitcom Head of the Class (1991) and film Encino Man (1992), he stopped acting due to lack of opportunities, and obtained a film degree from the USC School of Cinematic Arts."

    You need to get on those, like tonight!! :cmad: :D

    Ke Huy Quran’s story of eventual reward after so many years of rejection is one of the best I’ve heard in a while. I’d watch a film about that.

    What’s even more heartbreaking, is that even after he filmed EEAAO, he kept auditioning over Covid and didn’t get a single callback. He then asked the producer of EEAAO if he was even any good in the movie, and the producer told him everything will change once it was released.

    Decision to Leave getting nothing is a shame, but the biggest crime is Michelle Williams getting nominated but not Mia Goth.

    I wouldn't rule it out. The performance itself is still nomination-worthy, though I'd still ultimately give the edge to Cate Blanchett.

    I just read about the white actress who won the Best Actress Oscar in 1938 for portraying a Chinese.

    Fun fact I just looked up: The last time the top two highest grossing movies at the box office were both nominated for Best Picture was 40 years ago in 1982 (E.T. and Tootsie).

    I know we go through this every year but stunned that Keke Palmer wasn't nominated for Nope nor was there a single nomination for Woman King.

    I always loved Short Round/Data and had a major crush on Robin Givens when I was a teen lol so I remember trying to find clips of that show back in the day.

    If the Academy will go political again, than All quite on the western front could be the Coda

    Coda didn't win for political reasons, it won because it was a legitimately good movie.

    If Michelle Yeoh, Angela Basset, and Ke win, I can already see the headlines from Fox News about going woke

    @Lily Adler

    Is there a way to somehow create a thread with a poll for Oscar predictions?
