Re: Best Live Action Short
Anderson starts production on his next film today. Not sure where it is filming, but I believe he's shot overseas on everything post-Tenenbaums.

Re: Categories One-by-One: Costume Design
I think Poor Things and Barbie will probably get a combined two-thirds of the votes in this category, and Production Design. But I think they are also going to split that vote share pretty evenly. Whether you predict Poor Things for both, a split between the two, or Barbie for both, I don't think yo...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Adapted Screenplay
I have spoken disparagingly about Oscar podcasts once this morning, but the Next Best Picture predictions episode raised a good point in this category: We have good reason to believe that American Fiction could prevail in a general vote over Oppenheimer , Poor Things , and The Zone of Interest , bec...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Makeup and Hairstyling
I mentioned in the visual effects thread that this branch seems to have gotten their act together, but then it hit me: In not even shortlisting Barbie , did they box out a potential winner? A movie that makes looks and beauty and perceptions of what is an isn't "beautiful" central to its p...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Visual Effects
Tee used to talk about the makeup branch, and specifically how they used to leave out potential winners, which is how we end up with discordant-sounding phrases like "Oscar-winning film The Wolfman ". (Given that the winner probably would have been Alice in Wonderland if it had not been bo...

Re: Brutally Honest Ballots
I'm convinced that the publications who do these brutally honest ballots contact a bunch of voters and then pick the most outrageous ballots to share.

Re: Categories One-by-One: Leading Actor
I think Murphy will get this, and I am very happy about that. Giamatti is not bad, but the "best of the year!" acclaim he has gotten is a complete mystery to me. I really don't get it at all. Other than being, as some might say, a bit "cringe" in interviews, I don't get why Coope...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Best Actress
I've said before that Oscars are often won on PR narratives as much as performances. Not always: voters didn't bite on Chadwick Boseman a few years back, and we all know how Glenn Close's nomination for The Wife worked out, but last year Michelle Yeoh, who had "great performance + Best Picture ...

I might give this one to DeNiro, but Downey will be a great winner, and Gosling wouldn't be bad either.

R.I.P. Jaclyn Jose

This American Fiction win, which seems inevitable, is not going to age any better than Jojo Rabbit's.

Re: Categories One-by-One: Production Design
This should be Killers of the Flower Moon . Wild how other, less impressive Scorsese films made runs through the tech awards and this one won't win anything below the line. Between Barbie and Poor Things , I think it'll be Poor Things . The Barbie stuff is great but some voters may feel like they've...
