Well... I googled the nominations for this year thinking they must have been announced by now, and thought it was the actual nominations, but it was just predictions.. nevermind. It's always annoying waiting for them to be announced.
Anyway, here's the predictions I saw...
1 Everything Everywhere All at Once
2 The Fabelmans
3 The Banshees of Inisherin
4 TÁR
5 Elvis
6 Top Gun: Maverick
7 Avatar: The Way of Water
8 All Quiet on the Western Front
9 Women Talking
10 Babylon
I saw another one on Vanity Fair that included The Whale, which is one that I actually want to see. So we'll see. When the actual nominations are announced someone please don't hesitate to post them here.
Yeah, even though this isn't the official nominations, I'm going to start watching as many of these as I can to get a head start. At least some of the ones I've heard good things about.
Just watched The Fabelmans. It was good. More of a film for film buffs, though, and fans of Spielberg. I heard some of an interview on NPR a couple months ago with Spielberg about the movie. It was interesting. I may have to try to find it and give it another listen. Ah, this was probably it...
Everything Everywhere all at Once was my favourite film of the year. I'd like to see Michelle Yeoh win best actress but she probably won't.
The Banshees of Inisherin was disappointing tbh. It's likely only getting a nod because of success of McDonagh's previous winner, Three Billboards...
All Quiet on the Western Front I found mostly boring frankly. Other foreign made war films over the years have been far more epic and far more harrowing. Brotherhood and City of Life and Death as examples.
Avatar will undoubtedly win the fx category but it never really excelled in anything else.
Top Gun Maverick was a great feel good movie but I don't think it'll win in any particular category.
Haven't seen the rest.
Oscar bait films are becoming increasingly irrelevant, box ticking exercises.
Your Lord knows very well what is in your heart. Your soul suffices this day as a reckoner against you. I need no witnesses. You do not listen to your soul, but listen instead to your anger and your rage.
Best Actress: Michelle Yeoh
Best Actor: Colin Farrell
Best Supporting Actor: Ke Huy Quan
Best Supporting Actress: maybe Carey Mulligan?
Best Picture: idk, maybe the Fabelmans
Yeah, I'm actually a little relieved that I don't have to sit through Wakanda Forever. That was going to be a drag. Unless I get pretty bored I probably won't bother with it.
So The Whale isn't good enough for a Best Picture nom? I generally like Darren Aronofsky, so I'm looking forward to it.
Ah I actually just bought the ebook of All Quiet on the Western Front and had no idea a movie came out recently. Maybe I'll read it next and then check out the movie if it's good.
Also the Oscars are for retards and child molesters.
