I’m curious to know when voting closed for that lol.

Before the controversies. Well, the ones they might care about anyway. Which also might explain what won best international film...

Finally Anora got something.

Finally Anora got something.

Best movie of the year, but not the best directed or written. Naturally.

I saw the Critic's award show, as a show it was kinda weird all over but understandably so since the show got moved twice because of the fires.

I don't know if this show will move any Academy voters's opinions but it seems like most of the of the acting noms are locked with Zoe Saldana, Kieran Culkin, and Demi Moore. (also Mikey Madison was late to the show for some reason and Chelsea Handler called her out for it). I still think there will be an upset in Best Actor and I don't know if Adrien Brody will get it even after his win tonight.

Best Picture and Best Director seem like a total wildcard at the moment. Jon M Chu isn't even nominated for the Oscars, and seeing Anora win Best Picture and Conclave get Best Ensemble and Adapted Screenplay throws the Brutalist's chances off by a little. The DGA and PGA awards tomorrow will tell more about who's favored.

Surprising to see Coralie Fargeat get best original screenplay, this will be wild to say but there's a version of the Oscars where The Substance cleans up and wins all 5 awards that's it's nominated.

Seeing A Real Pain and Deadpool & Wolverine tie on best comedy is so bizarre.

Great to see Cristin Milioti get her win and her speech was the most fun out of everybody. (also Cristin Milioti & Rachel Brosnahan looked incredible)

To me, Audiard was gonna get the worst awards speech of the night until Camille won for best song and she looked like she was on drugs. There's a shot of Keri Russell in utter shock. lol

Overall, maybe the most disjointed awards show of the season so far.

Nice to see Nosferatu win for cinematography.

Why Didn’t Netflix Check Karla Sofía Gascón’s Twitter History?

As Karla Sofía Gascón's Oscar campaign derails due to racist tweets, the industry wonders: How did Netflix not check her post history?

Karla Sofía Gascón Hopes Her Withdrawal From ‘Emilia Pérez’ Oscar Campaign Allows “the Film to Be Appreciated”

The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that the embattled best actress Oscar nominee will no longer be flying to L.A. for any of the film's awards activities this week.

Clearly, they've been trying to forget Caitlyn Jenner.

Given some of the statements from the Amelia Perez director, I am laughing at how in my Civ 7 game, Napoleon just became Mexican.

AND the PGA! I think we might have a good frontrunner after all!

AND the PGA! I think we might have a good frontrunner after all!

And yet The Brutalist is winning the poll.

And yet The Brutalist is winning the poll.

Because I think it was the frontrunner until this weekend.

I'm Still Here isn't opening here until the 14th of March, and I was getting worried that this would tank my attempt of watching all the nominated films in time for the Oscars, but I contacted my local arthouse theater, and they sometimes let people come in to their press screenings, and there's one next week that I can join. This worked out perfectly Still missing one of the shorts, but I imagine it'll surface before March 2nd.
