dws1982 wrote 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 ...

R.I.P. Richard Lewis
When he was diagnosed with Parkinson's last year, I was surprised. I thought he had been diagnosed years prior. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/richard-lewis-dead-comic-curb-your-enthusiasm-actor-1235838668/#recipient_hashed=1b8821351fe0d7a932f5d2f4bc16fd77a98753d8a1e875e03e0fc0a5564ecf...

Re: Ceremony Details
flipp525 wrote I also don’t like it when they do montages of the actor’s nominated performance which, I believe, they did last year again. Pick one clip and show it. That’s how they’ve been doing it for decades and it’s worked out just fine. They always mess with non-problems areas of the show rath...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Live-Action Short Film
Mister Tee wrote I'm even ambivalent on whether I WANT him to win for this -- I feel like, should Anderson finally win an Oscar, it ought to be for, at very least, screenplay; not something so minor-league as this. I'm ambivalent, leaning no. I don't want this category to become some sort of off-ra...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Adapted Screenplay
I think this is the tightest race of the year. I wouldn't discount any of them, including The Zone of Interest or especially Poor Things which would be my choice in this category. Poor Things is full of memorable dialogue. If it does run fourth in this category, I can only imagine it's because peopl...

Re: Categories One by One: Best Original Score
Really glad you mention the score from A Thousand and One. It's fantastic. I think my choice would be Pemberton for Across the Spider-Verse. That thing works overtime, but unlike Oppenheimer it does so in a way that I found consistently inventive and enjoyable. I need to rewatch Oppenheimer but I re...

Re: SAG Thoughts/Winners to be Added
Oh, sure! I just mean it's not as good IMO.Greg wrote
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.
That said, I do need to see it again.

Re: SAG Thoughts/Winners to be Added
Mister Tee wrote For best actor and supporting actor, it's 2002. In 2003, Bill Murray won the BAFTA but Jonny Depp won the SAG. And Sean Penn won the Golden Globe (and the Critics Choice). Which means Penn pulled in Giamatti’s tally (also the previous nominations guy) while Depp and Murray were… we...

Re: SAG Thoughts/Winners to be Added
What did we learn? Assuming Oppenheimer wins the PGA tonight, it will be one of two films since 2010 to win the BAFTA, DGA, PGA, and SAG, the other being The King's Speech and Argo. I'm trying to think of the last time I was so sure early on in the year what the Best Picture winner was going to be a...
