Ariana Grande getting a nom over Margaret? Ariana was good, but her performance wasn’t anywhere near as good as Margaret’s

There are two rounds of voting: one for nominations and then the final voting round. The final voting round starts Feb 11 and lasts for a week so there’s a lot of time for anybody to surge or fall

ahhhhh makes sense i also think i mentally confused the oscars w the grammys bc idk why i was sure the oscars were in a few days 😭😭

[Embach 50,633]

I really hope that Julie Andrews will be one of the award presenters and preferably for Best Picture because on the day of the awards (March 2nd), it will be the 60th anniversary of The Sound Of Music, like please let it happen it would be so perfect

[That Venice Bitch 30,006]

I hope we get to watch Gal Gadot present the Best Documentsry winner to ‘No Other Land’ lol

Okay first thoughts so far:

 

Super happy for Brazilians, this is a major moment for Latin American cinema.

 

Margaret Qualley and Denis Villeneuve SNUBBED

 

SUCCESSION REUNION IN THE SUPPORTING ACTOR CATEGORY

 

I was actually wondering, who will get in as the 5th Best Actor nominee, Sebastian Stan and Daniel Craig were neck in neck, happy for Sebastian

 

Emilia Perez has 13 nominations, that's like 1 nomination away from tying a record, I don't understand the hype of this film amongst critics since the general public has criticized the film as well. 

 

Compared to the 2023 and 2024 Oscars where sweeps were dominated and were predictable, this one is going to be a bloodbath, a lot great contenders, some of them are easy to predict, some not and yeah, I think there will be a great variety of winners. 

 

ALSO THE SUBSTANCE BEING NOMINATED FOR LIKE 5 CATEGORIES INCLUDING BEST PICTURE THIS IS A HUGE MOMENT FOR HORROR MOVIES!!!! Because horror movies get snubbed a lot and I think the last horror movie to have many major categories recently was Get Out, I think.

 

Agree with everything you've said. Very interesting season.

 

Super happy for Brazil (though I haven't seen the film yet), Sebastian Stan (although Craig did his best work yet in Queer), and, yes, it's going to be a blood both.

 

I am sat!

[Embach 50,633]

I have been reading those anonymous Oscar voters choices and they're actually very incompetent at their job. It's as rigged as that one Grammy voter who didn't vote for Lana because of the SNL performance. I mean only like ~10 anonymous voters have revealed their decisions out of like 10 thousand voters but STILL, it might indicate that there are more voters like these people.

 

For example:

 

Two Oscar voters didn't vote for Ralph Fiennes in Conclave for Best Actor because he already has an Oscar and it would be unfair, so they gave their votes to Adrien Brody in The Brutalist instead. But the fact is that Fiennes has actually never won one and Brody has one already. (Like do your fucking reasearch or what's even wrong with having an award already lol)

 

One voter didn't vote for Cynthia Erivo in Wicked because they thought she's too old for that role.

 

There are many voters who haven't seen the movies nominated there. One voter said that they couldn't get through the first Dune, so they didn't bother to watch 3 hours of Dune Part 2 (which is a Best Picture nominee + 4 other categories). 

 

Some voters also complained about the runtime of The Brutalist (3.5 hours long) (the film is nominated for 10 Oscars), so they didn't get to it or didn't finish it. 

 

My question is, who the fuck gets chosen there as a voters. It's a huge privilege to be there, so at least do your job like you've earned it. There are thousands of cinephiles around the world who would agree to do that for free. It's like the Grammys where the voters are biased without any critical thinking and ability to research. These are not People's Choice Awards or MTV Movie Awards, these are fucking Oscars. Filmmakers, actors and the team have poured their souls out for their films and the voters are really disrespectful by not bothering to watch those films. That's the reason why people do not take these awards seriously these days.

I just watched I’m Still Here and I am floored. Fernanda Torres deserves that Oscar just as much as Demi Moore. A tie 🕯️🕯️🕯️
