Best Picture WILL WIN: Everything Everywhere All at Once
A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once is the likeliest winner, having swept the guilds’ top honors, including the Producers Guild’s, which is decided on a preferential ballot, and also won Critics Choice and Spirit Award prizes, among many others. But the Academy’s preferential ballot wouldn’t seem to favor such a polarizing film — many Academy members love it, but many others found it incomprehensible — so an upset could come from German-language All Quiet on the Western Front, which dominated at the BAFTA Awards (indicating strong European support) and would be Netflix’s first-ever winner in this category, or Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick, a critical and commercial triumph that helped to revive theatrical moviegoing. — Scott Feinberg
SHOULD WIN: The Banshees of Inisherin
My heart beats strongest for this two-man civil war tragicomedy, which shows a new maturity and depth of feeling from Martin McDonagh. It assembles a peerless ensemble, each of them etching finely drawn character portraits, not to mention scene-stealer Jenny, the miniature donkey. Todd Field’s caustic reflection on abuse of power, Tár, would be another deserving winner. — David Rooney

I see Marge Simpson. I don’t like the dress just because of the top. It would have been very lovely if it didn’t have that sheered thing on the top..but then I am not a fashionista ..it might be all the rage
btw, she is a singer and an actress. she has some kind of connection to beyonce. ..or at least her sister does
Great speech. Nice to hear someone appreciate the opportunity to achieve the American Dream. So many others don’t.
She looks like Marge Simpson.
All Quiet on the Western Front just won for Best International Feature Film.
Chris Rock told a story in his recent special about how when his mother was young (born in 1945) it was illegal to go to a white dentist...if you couldn’t find a black dentist a kid would have to go to the vet. I have no idea if this is true. He then said she has gone from that to going to France twice a year to visit his daughter in culinary school.
I have no idea if he appreciates how far he has come or if he just considers all whiteys racist but it does show what his hard work has achieved. I saw a story where he asked for his daughter to be kicked out of school to get her on the straight path.
Shes the new Ariel in the upcoming Little Mermaid.
That would be Coco Chow.
Interesting story. Thanks.
Us, too. Out of the contenders, we saw Maverick (bleh) and All Quiet (really good).
I find I don’t have the patience to watch a 90-100 minute movie any more.
this is his bit about wanting his kid to know there are consequences to your actions
Rich kids often go off the rails. I dont know if Conrad Hilton will ever straighten out

and Prince Harry??? lord have mercy we now know The Firm’s PR really protected him during all of those years. He is a nut job and a drug addict.
Egh...who is that?
that is the guy who played Elvis. Austin Butler
Who cares?
That dress is pretty and she looked good in it. Did no one object to the “slaves” in the first pic?
I thought the Elvis movie should have been titled Colonel Tom because that’s who the focus of the movie was.
If it had been a white dude up there they might have..but it’s the Met Gala..so there is some pretty outrageous stuff
I haven’t watched a movie in a theater in about 20 years.
We watch mostly old movies, at home, and sometimes purchase to view a newer one.
(We did like Maverick; but we didn’t think it was as good as the first one.)
That’s a great story! I’m assuming you did not get lucky that night
; )
It sure does...I lent my copy out, and it is gone. I need to get another one!
