I'd suggest Barry Keoghan should win over Gleeson.

Actress in a Supporting Role
Angela Bassett in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (Kerry Condon in The Banshees of Inisherin)

Agreed (on Kerry Condon).

Cinematography
All Quiet on the Western Front - James Friend (yep, although NOPE should have been nominated for sure) 

Somewhat disappointed Banshees didn't get a nomination for cinematography.

Directing
Steven Spielberg, The Fabelmans (Todd Field, Tár)

I really need to see Tar.

Imagine 5, 10, 20 years ago someone telling you that Top Gun 2 will be nominated for Best Picture. 

Thank you for summing up my thoughts. Exactly.

There are a lot of movies here that I haven't seen. I've read Tar is very good.

I didn't finish Everything, Everywhere all at Once. 

I've written tiresomely about the Banshees. Kerry Condon getting an Oscar would be most pleasing. I thought Colin and Brendan were great as well. Keoghan and Condon share one of the best comical/sad scenes I've ever seen. It's a masterpiece of all aspects of movie making.

I don't care about Avatar. I don't much care about the Fablemans either. I liked All Quiet on the Western Front but frankly don't remember it well.

I look forward to checking out all the contenders. I may even make some worthless predictions.

Have seen EEAAO and Banshees.  Would be fine with either winning BP.

Planning to see AQOTWF this weekend.  Have been meaning to watch it since it was available streaming.

Top Gun Maverick.  Seriously?  LOL.  No.  (Saw it in the theater and thought it was just as stupid as the first one).  Pure popcorn fuel, nothing more.

Will probably watch Fabelmans before the awards.  No interest in seeing Avatar (first one was stupid, why would I waste another 3 hours of my life?) or Elvis.

 

Would like to see Tar; not sure if Women Talking is something I really want to watch based on the trailers I've seen so far.

On a somewhat unrelated note, if any of you have any interest in supporting independent film (and in particular Longhorn filmmakers), there is a short film that premiered at Sundance this week written, directed, and produced by recent UT grads.  It's called "When You Left Me On That Boulevard."  It's in the Shorts Program 3 and is available to watch online with a $25 purchase (that gives you unlimited access to all of the shorts in the festival).

The grads involved are personal friends.  If you watch, please consider voting for it for the audience award.

Excuse me while I whip this out. The Fablemans was shit. If it wasn't Spielberg it wouldn't even close enough to sniff the wahfty aroma of a nom. It and Elvis do not belong in this group.

Maverick should win a shitload of tech awards for cinematography and strong to very strong for Best Picture. All Quiet is it's biggest threat.

I tried to watch The Banshees of Inisherin, but had to bail because I was looking around for a sharp object to slit my jugular, and I like both Brenden and Colin. I just think the US may not be the best market.

Watched Elvis. Understood what they were trying to do. Hanks did as accurate impersonation of Tom Parker as possible. Music was great. Cinematography was great. But it ain't Best Picture worthy. Liked Bubba Ho-Tep better.

Everything will win everything. Hollywood can’t pass up the opportunity to make a social statement and they definitely won’t when there’s finally a legitimate candidate for that purpose.

Wait, what is the social statement in rewarding that movie? Just that the most of actors are non-white?

Part of the story is the immigrant experience I guess, but it’s not really up on any kind of soapbox about it. And it’s about way more than just that. It’s about literally everything. 

This is a movie where there is an extended scene of a fight to be the one to shove a trophy up your own ass. Making it a fait accompli winner because it’s woke or whatever seems like a lazy take.

Hollywood can’t pass up the opportunity to make a social statement, so it’s going to choose a movie primarily concerned with the search for meaning in a meaningless existence over the overt social statements in Triangle of Sadness, Women Talking, Tar, Avatar and countless others who weren’t nominated? Top notch analysis.

Edit: fuck, Uncle beat me by a split second.

Cate has been my favorite actress since Elizabeth, she's absolutely incredible in everything. i hope she gets to join the 3+ Oscar group!

having said that...Tar sounds emotionally and intellectually stressful and unpleasant lol. which is fine, lots of great movies are like that. i'll get around to it bc I just love her 😊

actually...most of those movies are real downers! makes Maverick stand out lol 😄

No way in hell. The technology and cinematography in Avatar is light years ahead of anything in this "AMERICA FUCK YEAH" popcorn flick, not that Avatar should win best picture.

Completely agree.  I loved the cinematography, but the next morning after watching, I don't think I could have specifically described one other single thing that I really liked about the movie.

i have not seen elvis yet, may not ever see it, but i am curious.  did tom hanks suck in it? 

rarely do you find a movie that's up for best picture (in multiple award shows) and a lead actor + director who are also up for awards, yet a two-time best actor winner playing a specific character (with fat suit/makeup/accent) has not been mentioned at all for a nomination anywhere i've seen.

Yeah, did not like Elvis.  Actually stopped watching Everything.

Just too darn loud.

 

My wife had the same reaction.  She was out about halfway through.

Hell, I thought the Banshees cinematography should have been up for an Oscar (I don't think it was nominated though).

Michelle Yeoh will win best actress. I haven’t seen the movie and have no idea if she’s fantastic or terrible, but they’re pushing the “First Asian actress to be nominated”, angle awfully hard. The Academy lives for this stuff these days! Just the world we live in.

You guys in here talking about EEAAO and related awards being some social statement are wild. I honestly have no idea what you are talking about.

Cate Blanchette will probably win for Tar. She has won every award they have been head to head on. She is a queen and deserves every award she is ever up for.

If Yeoh does win, it is incredibly deserved. There is literally no one else in the world who could do the physical, comedic and emotional beats she plays in that movie. That movie does not exist without Michelle Yeoh. Tar would be a lesser film without Blanchette but would still exist.

Back to Elvis:

- Hanks chooses the most bizarre accent in movie history to portray the Colonel. Director just says cool, Tom Hanks is my movie. No notes. 

- Hanks is only other actor in a starring role in the entire movie.

- Hanks is nominated and will probably win the Razzie for Elvis.

- Yet this piece of shit has “serious “Best Picture buzz.” Well f*** me. I don’t get Hollywood.

Just realized that the only movie I watched in 2022 was the Bob's Burgers Movie which I loved. Only time I stepped in a theater and I didn't watch a movie on tv/streaming (other than the usual Christmas season ones I see every year). 

Wife and I were talking about starting every one of the best picture movies in February and giving each 30 min before deciding whether to bail or keep going. Just looking over the list and basic synopsis of each I'm looking forward to Banshee, Everything, All Quiet, and Triangle of Sadness while thinking Tar and Women Talking don't sound like what I'll like. Im so so on watching Top Gun 2 and really don't want to watch Avatar since I didn't like the first one. But you never know until you start it.

Living in a house with a wife and 2 teenage daughters, I have zero desire to watch something called “Women Talking “. Watching a movie is an actual small chance of escaping women talking.

Same here. Teenage daughters are the worst

Out on Peacock this Friday I think. I’m continually surprised how much I use Peacock. Nope, She Said, Violent Night, SICK (which rules), and Ticket to Paradise are all streaming now. 

You're not the first guy to be surprised to find out how much he loves the Cock

I agree. In fact, I'd argue she's the greatest artist in the history of human civilization.
