And for a Los Angeles native, Mikey Madison NAILED that Russian Jewish Brooklyn accent.

I really hope they let her be Harley Quinn somewhere down the line.

Drizzy that's hard, because I really believe they both brought it equally but in different ways. Mikey Madison brought it with words and Demi emoted her ass off and told a story with just her looks. But as long as one of them goes home with the gold, I'll be happy.

What I want to know is why my guy Toros didn't get ANY shine this awards season:

Karren Karagulian was great in this.
I just feel like without Mikey, Anora doesn't work. Demi definitely brought it in The Substance but she's not the only one that makes it work. Margaret Qualley delivered a hell of a performance in that too and she really should have gotten a nom as well.

Needless to say, I think Demi is going to get it anyway but I'm at least happy that Anora could very well take Best Picture.

So I'll ask you this now.

You're an Academy voter, your vote decides the winner... who would you vote for between Baker and Coralie Fargeat for Best Director?

But who am I kidding, you and I both know you'd vote for Jacques anyway :o

Of the two, my vote would go to Baker but my true Best Director pick, Denis Villeneuve, wasn't even nominated. Maybe for Dune 3. :csad:
 
To steal from Anne Hathaway: It came true. After speculating for the last week about whether Mikey Madison could ride the wave of support for Anora to an upset Best Actress win over presumed frontrunner Demi Moore at the BAFTA Awards, Madison indeed pulled off the victory. The win is significant: It’s not only the first time Madison has defeated Moore during a televised awards ceremony this season but also the first time the industry has weighed in on the Best Actress race. Previously, Moore won non-industry honors from the Golden Globe and Critics Choice Awards. The Substance star remains the category favorite for now — and some will likely argue that her status as a Hollywood veteran will keep her out in front at the Oscars since Madison is a relative newcomer. However, in recent years, the BAFTA Awards have an impressive track record of signaling when the “narrative” favorite — like Lily Gladstone, Chadwick Boseman, and Glenn Close — lacks genuine support. It’s possible that, in hindsight, we’ll view Madison’s win as a red herring. She could be Austin Butler, who won for Elvis, to Moore’s Brendan Fraser, the eventual Oscar winner for The Whale (and Moore, like Fraser did, might win at the Screen Actors Guild Awards next weekend, reshaping the Best Actress race one last time before the Oscars). However, with the industry’s strong support for Anora, Madison might follow in the footsteps of Frances McDormand, who was underestimated in the 2021 Best Actress field but won while leading the Best Picture-winning Nomadland.

 
When Tom Hanks introduced this segment I was hoping Adrien Brody would pop up. lol
Not counting having future murderers and/or sex offenders on the show, I'm pretty sure that's the only thing in that whole montage that was 100% out of the show's control since he went rogue with that horrendous intro for Sean Paul. :o
 
Voter #4: “It took me five days to watch ‘The Brutalist’ and another two days to wake up from it.”
