why’d Jimmy Kimmel call Ryan Gosling and RDJ hot and not Cillian Murphy

Oscars thread // last minute predictions 

Okay some last minute bonus predictions:

- Oppenheimer will inexplicably miss 1 or 2 awards everyone assumed it’d get
- Barbie will win all the awards I think Poor Things should win
- my predictions won’t be very accurate

Oscars thread 

Da’Vine Joy Randolph 👍👍

His voice really sounds just like John’s damn

Oscars thread // Best Animated Feature Film 

BOY AND THE HERON LFGGGGGG

no offense to Spiderverse because I love Spiderverse but Boy and the Heron is such a gem aaaaaAAAAAA

Oscars thread // Best Original Screenplay 

Anatomy of a Fall niiiiice

Oscars thread // Best Adapted Screenplay 

didn’t have a chance to see American Fiction before the award show but I plan to do so eventually

Oscars thread 

Past Lives is another one I wish I saw before today, would love to see it soon

Oscars thread // Make-Up & Hairstyling 

yeah Poor Things is 100% the correct choice here lol

(surprised by how agreeable I've found the awards up to this point lol)

Oscars thread // Production Design 

Damn assumed they'd give this one to Barbie (and wouldn't have even been mad, Barbie's production design is great) but hell yessssss another Poor Things W

Oscars thread // Costume Design 

imagine being given an oscar by a nude john cena

Oscars thread // Costume Design 

Poor Things Triple W i am grinning from ear to ear

Oscars thread // International Film 

look i knew it was gonna be zone of interest (can't blame them, it's fantastic), but i'm biased and wish it was perfect days lmao (perfect days was my favourite non-animated film of 2023)

Oscars thread // brief interlude about stunt acting 

god imagine if the oscars were brave and nominated john wick 4 (easily one of the best films of last year) for literally anything

Oscars thread // Best Supporting Actor 

delighted to see Ke Huy Quan on stage here

Oscars thread // Best Supporting Actor 

fun fact, the only thing i knew RDJ from (before seeing Oppenheimer) was Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes LOL

Oscars thread // general thoughts about Anatomy of a Fall 

one thing i love about Anatomy of a Fall is that it reminds me so much of TÁR (easily my favourite film of 2022), god remember when the Oscars completely snubbed TÁR? i remember that

Oscars thread // Visual Effects 

GODZILLA MINUS ONE W LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG

Oscars thread // Film Editing 

Oppenheimer W also damn this category is especially tough to pick from, each of these nominees were edited beautifully IMO

Oscars thread // Best Documentary Short + Documentary Feature Film 

I'm afraid I didn't see any of the documentary picks this year, I will get to them I promise

Oscars thread // Best Documentary Short + Documentary Feature Film 

the decision to end that with an orchestral cover of I'm Just Ken

Oscars thread // Cinematography 

unsurprising Oppenheimer W, looks phenomenal what can you even say

Oscars thread // Live Action Short Film 

i haven't seen henry sugar but desperately wanna see it (only Wes Anderson i've ever seen is Asteroid City but I think that movie's magnificent, wanna catch up on his other stuff ASAP)

Oscars thread // Sound 

goddamn they gave it to Zone of Interest, hell yeah

Oscars thread // Sound 

I put Oppenheimer on my ballot but i bet i would have voted for Zone of Interest had I seen it in theatres

Oscars thread // I'm Just Ken 

i know it's probably bad that Ryan Gosling is my favourite part of Barbie but like, hear me out here,

Oscars thread // I'm Just Ken 

is that Slash lol

Oscars thread // Original Score 

hell yeah Oppenheimer W, such a gorgeous score idk what else to say -- also lol at the dial of destiny nom

Oscars thread // Original Song 

Billie Eilish: "Thank you to everyone affected by this amazing movie-"

my friend J: "thought she was gonna say 'affected by COVID'"

my friend Z: "that's not what Barbie is about"

Oscars thread // Best Actor + Best Directing 

kinda hoped Paul Giamatti would win Best Actor but Murphy is obviously incredible too, also agree with the Best Directing pick (though again, extremely stacked nominee list)

Oscars thread // Best Actress 

daaaaamn i really hoped that was going to Lily Gladstone, Emma Stone was fantastic don't get me wrong but like, Gladstone was the driving force of KotFM for me. First real "wow yeah i super disagree with this" of the night for me

Oscars thread // Best Picture 

Oppenheimer was one of my favourites of last year (behind Perfect Days + The Boy and The Heron) and probably my favourite on that list. Bombing-related stuff can be hard for me to watch, but I'm glad I saw it, rocked me to the core.

Oscars thread // overall thoughts 

unsurprised by the Oppenheimer love, it’s phenomenal, see it on a big screen. Killers of the Flower Moon/Lily Gladstone snub really sucks, just a really sour end to the whole thing :/
