So @sounds-of-some-day and I have been trying to watch as many movies we felt would be nominated at the Oscars this year, and now with the official nomination list, I can't say I'm shocked but I'm definitely disappointed.

If Maestro wins a single Oscar (save for maybe Sound), I'll be incredibly upset. Never seen a more haphazardly slapped together, desperate film before, and I think Bradley Cooper's begging for an Oscar is starting to get incredibly annoying.

Killers of Flower Moon was mid at best, but I wouldn't be upset with it winning Costuming, or with Lily Gladstone winning Best Actress (even if I personally feel Sandra Hüller was the standout actress this year both in Anatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest). Shocked to see that Margot Robbie wasn't nominated for Barbie however, she was truly the standout performance in that movie and I really feel like she deserves one at this point (she was previously passed over for I, Tonya, which she truly deserved it for in my opinion).

I truly hope Anatomy of a Fall wins something (Original Screenplay seems to be the most likely), because it was such an incredible film. Past Lives, as well, because it did not go where I thought it would and it was such a breath of fresh air, as well as bringing a unique perspective to the idea of destined lovers. I'll be a little pissed about May December winning, mostly because the producers didn't ask for permission to tell the story of the real person and events their story was based on.

I'm tickled to see Nimona nominated for Animated, even though I know it won't win (not that I'm begrudging Spiderverse or Boy and the Heron for this, they're both incredible movies).

I can see Barbie getting Production Design, and I honestly wouldn't be upset with that at all. Though, knowing the Academy, it's usually the historical pieces that win these categories. If Napoleon wins, I'll be incredibly upset.

If Maestro wins Makeup and Hairstyling, I'll walk into the fucking ocean. That fake nose prosthetic was so bad and distracting and it made Cooper sound incredibly nasal-y and awful. Or maybe he was doing that on purpose to sound deeper and it just sounded like shit instead. Regardless, I think it's the worst pick for this category.

Disheartened by the lack of Metro Boomin in Best Song. The Spiderverse soundtrack was breathtaking, and Metro and the rest of the musicians worked incredibly hard on the incredible songs such as Am I Dreaming and Annihilate. Barbie getting two songs nominated...I understand I'm Just Ken was a funny song with a creative dance number, and the emotion and story of finding yourself in What Was I Made For are both really good, but it should have been one or the other.

TLDR; Oscars stay predictably boring and disappointing.

Side note, in December I was able to watch The Iron Claw; INCREDIBLE movie, I cried at least 4 times while watching it. Not a single nomination. Sorry but Zac Efron's role was far better than Bradley Cooper's shit ass Maestro. Please watch The Iron Claw.

Oscars Recap

I was worried that it was going to be a long night when the show started 10 minutes late, especially after how they touted a start time of 4 pm (Pacific) instead of the usual 5:00. And then Kimmel’s opening monologue seemed a bit lengthy on top of that. Thankfully they settled in and moved things along at a brisk pace after that.

I ended up getting 17 out of 23 of my predictions correct. Would have been 18 if I went with my heart and picked Emma Stone (who deserved the win IMHO), but I thought for sure Lily Gladstone was taking it. I also missed on Original Screenplay, which I didn’t see going to “Anatomy of a Fall” at all, so that was a shocker to me.

Highlights:

“Godzilla Mine One” was my favorite movie of the year, and I thought the effects were truly outstanding so I was thrilled to see that win.

Ryan Gosling’s performance may be the greatest thing to ever happen on the Oscar stage. Truly epic.

As I mentioned in my last post, I didn’t think Cillian Murphy or RDJ deserved to win for their performances this year, but I love them both in everything they do so I’m not mad at it, just wish they would have won for other (better) movies.

John Cena and the combo of Schwarzenegger and DeVito delivered the best presentations of the night. So funny.

All in all a great show this year over all.

2024 Oscar Predictions

People may very well remember 2024 as the years big movies came back. That the front runner for Best Picture is the third-highest grossing film worldwide, bringing in close to $1 billion is a huge shift from the patterns of recent years, where victors like Nomadland and CODA were launched from streaming services.

Box office champions like Oppenheimer and Barbie were critical and artistic successes. Smaller films like Poor Things and The Zone of Interest were still grand in nature. But there was still room for more intimate films like Past Lives and Anatomy of a Fall.

In the articles ahead, I'll provide my take on who’s likely to walk away with this year’s Oscars. Spoiler alert: It’ll be a big night for Oppenheimer, but enough prizes to go around so the year’s best still get some recognition.

Predicted tally:

Oppenheimer — 8

Barbie — 2

American Fiction — 1

Anatomy of a Fall — 1

The Holdovers — 1

Killers of the Flower Moon — 1

Maestro — 1

Poor Things — 1

The Zone of Interest — 1

Next: International Feature ►
