The 97th Annual Academy Awards

[Kane52630]

So Anora is now the Best Picture frontrunner? I dig it.

After last weekend, Anora is back as the frontrunner statistically for best picture and best director.

Brody vs Chalamet is still going on with Fiennes as the dark horse

It's still Demi Moore vs Mikey Madison even though Demi has it locked.

Best supporting actress is still Zoe but that is up in the air.

And Kieran Culkin has it locked up since November.

Netflix Breaks Silence on ‘Emilia Pérez’ Scandal: “This Is Such a Bummer”

Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria says the streamer is "reevaluating" its vetting process with regards to talent social media accounts.

Yes, that is the exact word I would use to describe all these controversies coming out. A bummer.

Finally watched Hard Truths.

A bit stereotypical at times but overall Marianne Jean Baptiste gave one helluva performance.

Definitely a crime that she didn’t get the Oscar nom.

Any time the movie cuts to the husband or the son looking defeated I was laughing but at the same time...

The very beginning of that makes me feel validated because pretty much up until I saw the movie I had assumed it was about this guy:

But bruh... the cousin in that movie? The scene when she was outside jogging with one of Catwoman's gear on? I was like

I think you're gonna like it. At this point I'm rooting for it to win Best Picture. The Brutalist is great too but Anora is the one that should be discussed more.

I think it stands a good chance, especially now since Emilia Perez imploded.
