You think they're going to vote for a Holocaust movie to make an anti-Israel statement?

You think Hollywood is going to do that?

Caling for a ceasefire or to "stop bombing Gaza" and "help these poor people" is not anti-Israel, it's anti-war. 30,000+ dead is not something even the most pro-Israel Jews can ignore, especially when it's so one-sided. Glazer made some comments about how the movie is relevant right now, but would be relevant no matter when it was released, because humans continue to inflict suffering on each other. I would expect him to have the sense to speak to the issue with some intelligence and nuance to point the finger at the right culprit in this conflict, if he would get the chance to do so. 

Braveheart was an upset? i feel like it was a safe bet. Apollo 13 was the only serious competition that year, Casino and Dead Man Walking weren't even nominated for best picture 🤔

I don't disagree with you, but it isn't going to win. The gulf in those odds is just way too high. 

Oppenheimer is also relevant right now and would be relevant no matter when it was released. The 2nd leading nuclear power in the world has been involved in a land war on their border for years now. We are currently testing the waters of AI and quantum computing that is basically the new A-bomb and may create a similar demarcation in world history. 

I think Nolan is too accomplished and Oppenheimer is too good for it to not win. They LOVE any excuse to give someone like that their first win, and they don't need an excuse. He has 5 noms and 0 wins and is on a very short list of most important directors of the 21st century.

I thought that was interesting as well. Here are the odds they pulled.

Maybe they didn't think they'd give Gibson a best picture?

Someone like @henrygandorf may know more.

gibson wasn't a known shitbag yet.

Yeah I was wondering what the timeline was there.

just looked at the odds on my book.  a few weeks ago, gladstone and stone were both -110, now lily is -172 and emma is +135.  probably better value with emma as i think it's a tossup.  if there's a true upset, it could be giamatti, who has already taken down cillian a couple times, and is +600.  still think oppie sweeps through pretty much everything in its path.

The Postman was nominated for best picture?  WTF that movie was awful.  

Il Postino starring Maria Grazia Cucinotta

Philippe Noiret playing Pablo Neruda, soundtrack by Luis E Baclov, a dying performance by Massimo Troisi and Maria Grazia Cucinotta.

Eskimos Horn’s posted photo is reason enough. 

Will be interesting if it wins but I bet Anatomy of a Fall takes Best Original. I saw someone say they should award Barbie for Adapted and Holdovers for Original and then let them switch awards. 

El Conde (Netflix) was a great surprise.  Should have been nominated for Best Picture.

Wings of Desire meets What We do in the Shadows.

"What a pain in the ass," said Pinochet.

I have never been an Emma Stone fan, but holy shit, I loved Poor Things.

Just a heads up, it starts at 6 pm central this year. Not the red carpet stuff, but the actual show.

Edited by Red Five

I saw Barbie, Oppenheimer, Napoleon and Poor Things. I liked Napoleon the most. Poor Things just creeped me the fuck out so I couldn't finish it

I'm rooting for Oppenheimer landslide for most of the categories.

Poor things for set design, costume and makeup. 

Henry Sugar / Wes Anderson for short film.

Zone of Interest for foreign film. 

Other than that I don't care too much. It's always interesting to see what wins though.

Jodie looks good tonight. She'd still get some.

Well, you know.

Yeah she’s the poster child for how to age. I’m sure she’s using some creams that cost more than our cars, but no surgery. 

Jesus Christ this telecast will take 10 hours if this is the pace it takes. Why don’t a need a fucking syrupy monologue introducing every nominee.

Kimmel’s whole bit now is star fucking, and his monologue certainly delivered. Union town my balls. I’ve never been in a city so out of touch with reality.

I don't think Robert Downey Jr enjoyed his time in the monologue. 

i just remembered it was early and turned it on lol... was that the first award?

I enjoyed The Holdovers, but I do not remember her performance being Oscar worthy.

Blunt was so much better.

Didn’t seem like he did. Pretty overplayed and low-hanging fruit. Kimmel should have had better material for RDJ.

 

Watched Poor Things this afternoon. Enjoyed it.

So now I’ve seen all the BP nominees except Zone, Anatomy, and American Fiction.  Liked all I’ve seen with the lowest being Maestro but Oppenheimer my clear BP pick.

 

 

that was the best acceptance speech this award season. hell yeah.

Who is this Billie Eilish person?  She certainly hasn’t been on everything ever for the past like 4 years and I’m certainly not tired of it.

you just hurt my butler’s feelings. hope you‘re happy. 

I follow the Oscars pretty closely but it didn't really hit me till a few minutes ago that Barbie's adapted screenplay nomination was based on "Barbie, by Mattel". Big lulz on that stretch, and I liked the movie a lot.

We need someone to slap someone….  Cena, Ricky Stanicky was actually pretty funny. 

The first former SNL cast member to win an Oscar

I was running through them in my head and wondering this. 

Really need Danny to start talking about banging Philly whores. Or start drinking wine from a Diet Coke can.

Eddie Murphy was nominated. Bill Murphy should’ve won for Lost In Translation

OMG stop with the music for this poor guy who obviously doesn't speak English well.

Damn, forgot all about Bill. I was like "Has Ben Stiller won for anything?"
