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.
 




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.
 
What is going on with his eyelids?

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 :swoon: Still missing one of the shorts, but I imagine it'll surface before March 2nd.
