Started this because I'd noticed nobody had!

I've seen 7 of the 10 Best Picture nominees - might change my vote if one of Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest or American Fiction particularly impresses.

The big discourse coming out of the nominations announcement has been the very silly debate about Barbie, with even Hillary Clinton weighing in on a "snub" that some seem to be calling sexist (I'm not sure it counts as a snub when a movie has been nominated for eight Oscars, and I'm not sure which of the five women who beat Margot Robbie for a Best Actress nomination were the sexist pick).

Nonetheless, three of the ten Best Picture nominees were helmed by female directors, which is good to see.

Anyway, any snubs stand out for you? Any surprise omissions? Who are you going to be cheering on?
 
Best Picture - Oppenheimer


Best Actor - Cillian Murphy (Paul Giamatti please)


Best Actresss - Lily Gladstone


Best supporting - Robert Downey Jr


Best supporting actress - Da’Vine Joy Randolp


Best director - Christopher Nolan


Best International Film - Society of Snow .. Monster no nomination? I would like to see Perfect Days win but feel Society of Snow was better


Adapted screenplay - Oppenheimer, wouldn't surprise me if they give it to Barbie


Original screenplay - Past Lives ideally (but Anatomy of Fall which I haven't seen should win)


Cinematography - Killers of the Flower Moon (but not a very strong category this year)


Original Score - where's Ryuichi Sakamoto RIP for Monster

Don’t know why Oppenheimer is raging favorite

Surely a weird ass movie like Poor things that only a handful of people have seen will take out Best Picture

Just look at Everything Everywhere All At Once, Parasite, The Shape Of Water

and CODA won it last year? Guaranteed .0001% of the population has even heard of this yet alone watched it…
 
Only seen one of the nominated films so can't add a lot to the discussion, except to say that if Killers of the Flower Moon wins best picture then the other nominees must be pretty awful, same goes for De Niro's hammy performance.

Took me three nights to get through this overblown mess, have the feeling that if anybody other then Scorsese was the director it wouldn't even be under consideration.
 
It’s begun! They’ve brought back the “five previous winners of an acting category” introducing the nominees bit. Was a bit cringe during Supporting Actress tbh.
 
The irony of a movie called War is Over winning an Oscar and none of them talking about anything happening in the world right now is peak Hollywood liberalism.

Anatomy of a Fall winning Screenplay was very earned. Love that P.I.M.P. played them to the stage. Hopefully it continues to be a big night for 50 Cent.

The awards execution itself was impressive, felt like just about all the shiftable categories that were still ajar teetered in a positive direction. I really can’t complain overall, they had a sensible bunch voting upon the given nominee crop this year. Don’t have any bitter aftertaste or anything which is nice. Agreeably boring, mostly classy, well paced with a few hell-yes moments at steady intervals.

I rapt that Emma Stone got the nod for her performance in Poor Things.

I predicted they would give it to Lily Gladstone, but Emma Stone gave the best performance of the year and was a well deserved winner.

Kinda snuck up on me that Jules from Superbad is now a 5 time Oscar nominee / two time winner. On an amazing trajectory.

Edit: 4 time nominee, thought I heard someone say 5. Still very impressive.

Did the starting time for The Oscars change this year? Hasn't it normally started at midday out time in the past?

Gotta love Al Pacino announcing Best Picture in the manner that he did.

Nice that the audience holds until the end for the applause for The Memorium section. Ensures all those remembered gets the same level of applause.
