Re: Categories One-by-One: Adapted Screenplay
Put me down for "four of the five here could win". I can't bring myself to believe so determinedly a non-dialogue piece as The Zone of Interest could win in anything other than a free-for-all pure accident. Of course, if I'm saying the other four are all in it, that's precisely the thing t...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Live-Action Short Film
I belatedly realize that I never came back to comment, after seeing Invincible. It turned out, that was my least-favorite of the bunch, simply because it felt like the thinnest storyline. As Magilla says, we know what happened from the get-go, and what follows doesn't particularly illuminate it. The...

Ceremony Details
Since information has begun to be released, a thread to collect anything of potential interest.
To lead off, the return of a format some here loved and others, as I recall, despised:

Re: Categories One by One: Best Original Score
I HAVE done the due diligence -- sat through all of Dial of Destiny, even ate the $5.99 cost (curse you, Netflix disc, for disappearing in my hour of need). And I can confirm your sonic-only impression: occasionally I'd find myself thinking, Oh: there's some new music...and then, a few minutes later...

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
Well, they tried hard to take all the fizz out of the Oscars, but faltered at the last minute, saints be praised. At least one category is genuinely alive. (And thank god the WGA's are late this year, so they can't ruin the screenplay competition.) That guy doing the "interviews" during wh...

SAG Thoughts/Winners to be Added
I had a few thoughts about tonight's show, so I thought I'd share them, and set up this thread as a spot to post the winners. Last year, SAG upended the apple cart, picking four acting winners different from the BAFTA choices -- I'm not even sure when that had last happened. Because all the SAG winn...

The nominees: El Conde (Edward Lachman) Killers of the Flower Moon (Rodrigo Prieto) Maestro (Matthew Libatique) Oppenheimer (Hoyte van Hoytema) Poor Things (Robbie Ryan) My initial tendency was to wait for ASC, but that's not till March 3rd. ACE, CAS, and the USC Scripter are also that weekend, so, ...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Makeup and Hairstyling
So, the same day BAFTA comes down on my side of this debate, the Make-up and Hairstylists Guild strikes a blow for Sabin's position. A real contest.
