Watched Blonde.
I confess to not really knowing didley squat about Marilyn Monroe. I enjoyed the movie, at least for Ana de Armas' performance. She's incredible in the film. She carries it. The film itself is not great, though. It's a tough watch. She has daddy issues and that's pretty much the entire film. I give it a 7/10, but that's honestly just for her performance. And she's topless several times.
After the movie I looked up some of her real life and it seems the movie (and novel) does take great artistic liberties with the truth, but it's at least based on reality and rumor.
It seems like Everyything Everywhere... is a shoe in for best picture. Personally, it didn't really do it for me. I thought it was a fun and original movie but I didn't love it.
I really liked Banshees.
But really I'm only interested in the best actor race this year. Having been hearing tons of praise for Fraser, i was kind of expecting it to be hyperbole based on nostalgia people have for him and the films of his form the 90's that they enjoyed, but having now seen The Whale I'm rooting very hard for him. He's truly incredible in that film and elevates it beyond what it otherwise would have been. The fact that he was able to elicit such emotions and give such a nuanced and powerful and human performance while so limited in his movements because of the character's situation was just so impressive to me. Also the way he captures all the little things that living in such a way would certainly include, like the constant heavy, labored breathing, and every movement he makes seeming like such a struggle. Just incredible stuff.

Agreed. Plus the awards he's won already and the speeches he's given show him to be truly humble and incredibly grateful towards the fans that have been pressuring studios to bring him back to the fore.

Fraser won 👍Everything Everywhere all at Once doing extremely well with Best Director, Best Actress, Supporting Actor and Actress, Editing, Original Screenplay.
Will it get Best picture though?
Fuc#in' ridiculous. That movie barely deserved a nomination, let alone so many wins. But I saw it coming.
But other than that I was pretty pleased with the outcomes. Glad Fraser won, much deserved.
Jimmy Kimmel nailed it. He was great poking fun at the slap and he even brought out the donkey. So much win there.
All Quiet on the Western Front won some stuff so that pleased me.
It was the best picture in my opinion. At least it won Best International picture.
I just don't think EEAAO should have gotten best director AND best picture. Ridiculous. F#cking mess of a filum.
And Banshees not winning anything is ridiculous.
