The Holdovers, American Fiction and Past Lives are my rooting interests this year. Not that I do much rooting, but I’m ok with giving a marketing boost to the occasional good movies. My other passing interest is whether the industry is starting to self-correct a bit on wokeness. Reaching back a couple of years, I suspect that CODA beating out The Power of the Dog was due partly to the sane people in the industry (yes, there are some) having had enough. CODA winning was perhaps an early sign that we’re past peak woke. Nothing gave me heartburn last year. Fingers crossed this year.

Oppenheimer had some good points and I’m ok with it winning a nod or three. I’ve not seen Barbie but, like Oppenheimer, it was a great box office success, and I’m ok with the industry getting back to honoring movies that audiences actually wanted to see.

I enjoyed The Holdovers. I don’t recall anything woke about it.

I remember 50 years ago when I was a kid I cared about this.

THE ZONE OF INTEREST won the best international feature movie...It is about Holocaust...

The producer (?) of that film mentioned Gaza conflict...He talked about “the victims of dehumanization” both in Israel and Gaza...The guy is angry with both Israeli government and Hamas?

Robert Downey Jr just won the best supporting actor...

The Zone of Interest was excellent. I’m disappointed that the producer would drag Gaza into the discussion.

I’m not watching it in any case. I stopped decades ago.

Homosexuals giving each other statues.

No John Waynes or Jimmy Stewarts in sight.

”John Wayne was a f@g.”

Oppenheimer often used Sanskrit verses, and the Bhagavad Gita was special for him — but not in the way Christopher Nolan’s film depicts it

Paul Giamatti character did talk about how rich kids avoided going to Vietnam...That came up while discussing the black kitchen worker's son...Her son was killed in Vietnam...

Governor Arnold and Danny Devito just gave award for special effect...They talked about the time when they were in the Batman movie...

I found out that Jonathan Glazer actually is the director...He is Jewish...

I think he is trying to be "fair" by expressing sympathy for people of both Israel and Palestine...

Chris Nolan and his film cast and crew do not hate us. The Oscar’s seem to hate them

Have a friend/client who won a Best Documentary Oscar, back in the 90’s. Held that sucker in my hand. (It was heavy!) Used to be a dream of mine since age 10, but got derailed to Broadcast TV as a career. No matter... It’s just not nearly the honor, glamour, and prestige it once was. My fault for missing the boat, though.

I meant watching it at all. You can look up who won on the internet.
