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...

Re: The Official Review Thread of 2023
Just watched The Creator at home, which is the dumbest way I could've seen it. Really frustrated at myself for not seeing it on the big screen. It's a gorgeous film. These effects (how did they do this for $80m?) are incredible and the visual world-building is incredible. It really deserved more con...

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: 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.
