Re: Categories One-by-One: Best Actress

I would prefer if they go the old-fashioned route where they award it to the one here who has paid her dues - a career award - Bening. On this, I agree with what I saw on a YouTube video of Glenda Jackson presenting the Best Actor award the year Art Carney won, the award is for the best performance...

That was the same logic I used last year when I predicted Original Screenplay would go to The Banshees Of Inisherin over Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Actually, there are great similarities between Oppenheimer and Lawrence Of Arabia. They are both 3-hour-or-plus historical epics with titular characters who are tragic heroes.

Sharon Stone?

The U.S. Supreme Court will start hearing oral arguments this coming Thursday on whether or not Donald Trump should be barred form the ballot this November. This involves the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution barring insurrectionists from holding office and Trump's involvement with the January...

Re: New Developments III

At the risk of appearing superficial, E. Jean Carroll looks amazing for being 80. she could very well have a few decades left in her.

Re: Oscar Nominations Announced

I've read speculation the reason France submitted The Taste Of Things for International Feature rather than Anatomy Of A Fall was Fall director Justine Triet attacked French President Emmanuel Macron during her Palme d'Or acceptance speech at Cannes.

Re: Oscar Nominations Announced

My guess is, that if there were 10 nominations for both film and director, this year there would most likely be an exact matchup.

Re: Oscar Nominations Announced

I've accepted that Cillian Murphy (who absolutely deserved his nom) will be passed over in favor of Giamatti. I think Murphy will win as part of a 9-award sweep for Oppenheimer -- Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Lead Actor, Supporting Actor, Original Score, Film Editing, Cinematography, and ...

Well, Frances McDormand and Daniel Day-Lewis only have one more lead acting award to go.

BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
1. Barbie
2. Oppenheimer
Could Barbie being ahead of Oppenheimer be the result of a glitch that Barbie had most of its precursor successes in the Original Screenplay category which, this year, has been less competitive than the Adapted Screenplay category?

It would probably rank with the most-celebrated slates of 1939 and 1972. Although, 1972 was a five-nominations-only slate.
