Re: Categories One-by-One: Costume Design
A lot of people have pointed out (including myself) the similarities between Barbie and Poor Things as contenders across both "art" categories both for their achievement but also the similarities between the candidates. Like Black Panther, Barbie created a pop culture world. Both The Favou...

Re: Oppenheimer reviews
SPOILERS, I GUESS... I just rewatched Oppenheimer prior to Oscar night (second viewing) and I've more or less come around on it. I fell somewhere between a champion and a skeptic on my first viewing. I still think it's appropriate to be both. I still sense that Nolan is a craftsman, not a thinker. W...

Re: Categories One-by-One: International Feature
Mister Tee wrote I'm utterly ambivalent about Perfect Days. I find it beautifully composed and shot, and it has some very powerful scenes near the end (one involving the main character's sister is teeming with unspoken resonance). Can I ask: did you watch this at home or on the big screen? I didn't...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Original Screenplay
I like Tee’s point on how much prognosticators have become aggregators. Pretty much everyone agrees that Anatomy of a Fall is the front runner based on the Golden Globe and the BAFTA. Had the WGA gave their award to The Holdovers prior to Sunday, would one person be left predicting Anatomy of a Fall...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Animated Feature
Mister Tee wrote NEON apparently decided no one outside of Academy members needed to see Robot Dreams prior to the Oscars; the official release date is May 31st (though it did have a solitary screening in NY and elsewhere, tonight). I managed to see it (don't ask how) ::raises hand to ask how:: ::s...

Re: New Developments III
gunnar wrote Maybe Gavin Newsome or another Democratic Governor. Newsome's been clearly running some kind of shadow campaign as Biden-Harris' loudest surrogates in the media circuit. I have no idea what happens if Biden decides not to run a the convention or something and leaves it up to power brok...

Re: New Developments III
danfrank wrote FYI, Katie Porter had to give up her House seat to run for Senate, as did Barbara Lee. I did the same as you, deciding last minute to vote for Porter to have a better chance at an all-Dem slate in the general. I was surprised how poorly the two women did. No surprise that the GOP vot...

Re: New Developments III
Well, it's going to be Adam Schiff vs. Steve Garvey. I strategically cast my vote for Katie Porter at the last moment but even if you combine Porter and Lee's votes it probably wouldn't have been enough to get past Garvey. I don't really have a problem with Adam Schiff on the whole. I just thought a...

Big Magilla wrote That's the concern I have about most of the races this year. The good news is that mail-in voting remains a thing. Also, right-wing lunacy is in full swing like I've never seen before. Every time I think we've lost, the right-wing does crazy shit like going after IVF. Wildly outsi...

Re: New Developments III
danfrank wrote Yes, and let’s hope that Ruben Gallego runs a strong campaign because Kari Lake would be far worse than Sinema. I think Gallego is going to win. I'm hearing a lot about how "progressive" he is but he's not nearly as far to the left as Lake is to the right. She is the worst ...

Re: New Developments III
Krysten Sinema has bowed out of the Senate race in Arizona. Good riddance.

Re: Categories One-by-One: Best Sound
The closest example I can think of The Zone of Interest winning would be Sound of Metal. A ground-scale indie where sound design plays an extra character in the film. The biggest difference I can think of is that Sound of Metal wasn't up against Oppenheimer. Its competition was Greyhound, Mank, News...
