    I did okay. I went 10/10 in the Picture category though!

    The big snubs: Chase Infiniti missed in Lead Actress in favor of Kate Hudson. Odessa A’Zion missed in favor of Elle Fanning. And Paul Mescal missed in favor of Delroy Lindo.

    I haven’t seen The Secret Agent but here are all the links to my reviews of all the Picture nominees as they were coming out:

    Sinners

    F1

    One Battle After Another

    Bugonia and Frankenstein

    Train Dreams and Sentimental Value

    Hamnet

    Marty Supreme

    Director, lead actor, supporting actress, screenplay, casting, ORIGINAL SCORE (fuck yes), cinematography, original song should go to Sinners at least. In my humble opinion.

    Granted, I've been a bit of a lazy movie goer recently and haven't seen any of the other nominee films.

    edit And Michael Jordan should get two prizes. I know this sounds too dumb to be true... I genuinely realized that he had two roles only after seeing the movie when I was browsing through the actors.

      It’s probably winning four of those: Original Screenplay, Original Score, Casting, and Cinematography. With Casting being the only one that’s not certain.

    Heard an interview with the Canadian director of one of the nominated documentary shorts, with no dialogue, perfectly a strangeness. Premise: Wish I could see it somehow

    Heard an interview with the Canadian director of one of the nominated documentary shorts, with no dialogue, perfectly a strangeness. Premise:

    In the dazzling incandescence of an unknown desert, three donkeys discover an abandoned astronomical observatory and the universe.

    Wish I could see it somehow

    I'm really not a movie person but I'll contribute my 2 cents which is that I'm SO GLAD neither of the original songs from Wicked 2 got nominated. They were both fine songs in a vacuum but when you compare the glorious orchestration that the rest of the musical has to the thin accompaniment of the new songs, the new ones just fall so flat. I didn't really expect them to not suck so I can't say I was disappointed, but I certainly didn't think they were noteworthy.
