Hey everyone. I know there's a few people here interested in film, but the majority aren't really. With the Oscars right around the corner, I was curious as to how many of this years nominees you have seen. Here's the Wikipedia page to see the nominees.
I've seen all the Best Picture nominees and most of the acting contenders. Notably I haven't seen Spencer, Parallel Mothers, and The Worst Person in the World which I will try to watch by the time of the ceremony. This year I have seen 4 of the Best Picture nominees in theaters (Belfast, Licorice Pizza, West Side Story and Dune). This is in comparison to last years 0 (obviously) and the year before's 5 (1917, Little Women, Parasite, Joker, and Once Upon A Time Hollywood). The rest I saw through streaming.
If I had to rank this year's Best Picture nominees, this would be the order:
- West Side Story
- Licorice Pizza
- Don't Look Up
- Belfast
- Nightmare Alley
- King Richard
- Drive My Car
- The Power of the Dog
- CODA
- Dune
What about you guys?

My final Oscar predictions for the 94th Academy Awards

Okay, I’ve been bombarding all of you with article after article of what other award shows have been nominating and awarding.
Here are the nominations for what I had in November. It’s interesting to see how much has changed, sadly it seems like The Last Duel is going to end up with zero awards.
Anyways, if you have an Oscar pool going what I’m about to give you would probably put you at the top if your friends don’t follow awards. I did place 30 out of 2200 on Goldderby for my BAFTA nomination predictions so there’s that.
Here’s what I have, in order of what is most likely to win as of right now:
Best Picture
- The Power of the Dog
- Belfast
- Licorice Pizza
- Dune
- Don’t Look Up
- West Side Story
- King Richard
- CODA
- tick, tick... BOOM!
- Being the Ricardos
Alternative choice: House of Gucci
Best Director
- Jane Campion - The Power of the Dog
- Paul Thomas Anderson - Licorice Pizza
- Denis Villeneuve - Dune
- Kenneth Branagh - Belfast
- Steven Spielberg - West Side Story
Alternative choice: Adam McKay - Don’t Look Up
Best Lead Actor
- Will Smith - King Richard
- Benedict Cumberbatch - The Power of the Dog
- Andrew Garfield - tick, tick... BOOM!
- Denzel Washington - The Tragedy of Macbeth
- Leonardo DiCaprio - Don’t Look Up
Alternative choice: Javier Bardem - Being the Ricardos
Best Lead Actress
- Lady Gaga - House of Gucci
- Alana Haim - Licorice Pizza
- Nicole Kidman - Being the Ricardos
- Jessica Chastain - The Eyes of Tammy Faye

Alternative choice: Rachel Zegler - West Side Story
Best Supporting Actor
- Kodi Smit-Mcphee - The Power of the Dog
- Ciaran Hinds - Belfast
- Troy Kotsure - CODA
- Bradley Cooper - Licorice Pizza

Best Supporting Actress
- Ariana DeBose - West Side Story
- Aunjuane Ellis - King Richard
- Caitriona Balfe - Belfast
- Kirsten Dunst - The Power of the Dog
- Cate Blanchett - Don’t Look Up
Note: I’m actually taking a big risk in predicting Blanchett, Ruth Negga - Passing seems to be the most obvious fifth choice.

I recently made a post saying what movies I currently am predicting to get Oscar nominations and someone commented that they use awards as a way to watch more interesting movies. So I thought I would make a list for you guys of all the movies that currently have (or had) buzz. Maybe you’ll want to check some of these out, maybe you’ll be introduced to some movies you haven’t even heard of from the past year.
I will be giving two lists. The first is for movies that still do have buzz, and the second is for movies who’s buzz died off at some point in the year. In the first list I put parentheticals for films who have more specific buzz, and left solely the titles for films that have buzz for a lot of categories. I’ve also linked the trailer to each film.
Just a little fyi, this list is from movies that released March 2021 - December 2021. This past Oscar season had the deadline extend to February 2021.
Movies that still have buzz:
Being the Ricardos
Belfast
Belle (animated feature)
CODA (Picture, Adapted Screenplay)
Cruella (Costumes, Hair & Makeup, and Original Song)
Cyrano
C’mon C’mon (Picture, Original Screenplay, Lead Actor, Cinematography)
Don’t Look Up
Dune
Encanto (animated feature)
Flee (documentary, animated feature, international film)
House of Gucci
King Richard
Licorice Pizza
Luca (animated feature)
Mass (supporting actress)
Nightmare Alley
No Time To Die (original song, sound, VFX, cinematography)
Parallel Mothers (Lead Actress, International Feature)
Passing (supporting actress)
Raya and the Last Dragon (animated feature)
Red Rocket (Lead Actor)
Respect (Lead Actress)
Spencer (Picture, Lead Actress, Original Score, Costumes)
The Eyes of Tammy Faye (Lead Actress, Hair & Makeup).
The French Dispatch (original score, cinematography, hair & makeup)
The Hand of God (international feature, Director, Original Screenplay)
The Harder They Fall (original song)
The Last Duel
The Lost Daughter (Picture, Lead Actress, Adapted Screenplay)
The Mitchell’s vs the Machines (animated feature)
The Power of the Dog
The Tragedy of Macbeth
Tick... Tick... Boom!

My current Oscar predictions

I know that there aren’t a lot of film buffs here, and that a lot of you don’t care about awards. I love awards. The oscars are actually a really important thing that got me watching more interesting movies. And I make it a point to watch all the Best Picture nominees every year.
I spend a lot of time on trying to predict what will get nominated and will win at the Oscars. I’m pretty okay at it. I average about a 76% correctly predicting what gets nominated and an 80% what wins. Things change as more award shows happen. And the closer we get to the Oscars.
But, I wanted to share with y’all what I thought would get nominated at the Oscars this coming year.
In no specific order:

If this list is worth anything, it’s to let you guys know what films have a lot of buzz. The only films I think are certain of getting a Best Picture nomination are Belfast, King Richard, The Power of the Dog, and Don’t Look Up.
If you haven’t watch Belfast or King Richard as of yet, I highly recommend checking them out.
