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

Count me among the latter.
selma hayek..married to François-Henri Pinault..owns gucci alexander mcqueen etc.
There’s three versions of the movie, (different years.)
1930, 1979, 2022
1979 version is free.
Five minutes of watching Cate Blanchett in Tar and I thought she is the best actress. And I am no Cate Blanchett fan.
Actress in a Supporting Role: Kerry Condon/Banshees, Jamie Lee Curtis/EEAAO, and Stephanie Hsu/EEAAO are all excellent. I haven't seen the other two. If I had to pick one, I'll say Kerry Condon, but that's really coin flipping.
Kerry Condon hands down, but they'll probably give it to Angela Bassett because, you know... Bassett is a fine actress but Wakanda is a comic book. And she wears a lampshade on her head.
Who cares about that crap.
“François-Henri Pinault..owns gucci alexander mcqueen”
Never heard of any of that. I have heard the name “Selma Hayek” before — but not sure of the context.
(I’m old; I’m out of touch with pop culture.)
Selma was Frida and starred with Antonio Banderas in Desperado. Her husband is worth many many billions of dollars.
The only mainstream movie we’ve seen in years was the Top Gun Maverick flick. We liked it a LOT!
We did see the new “Left Behind” by Kevin Sorbo a few weeks ago. It was pretty good, too.
Do conservatives actually follow this nonsense from hollywierd??
Haahha! I’ll bet you’re right. It’s a statement.
Thanks for the pics.
Team America actually gets better with age.
I just love that blacks were shut out of everything. Hilarious, years into the Oscars So White nonsense. They are FURIOUS over it.
I hope “All Quiet On The Western Front” wins.
Those tattoos are cringe though. Why do women do that??
I liked In Bruges, dark yet funny. I haven't seen The Banshees of Inisherin yet.
Yeh, I’ve seen the first 2. I like the 1930 one better. Much grittier.
