2023 Oscars Thoughts

This Oscars was (in my opinion) the best in a while.

The jokes weren’t that bad! You can never expect everything to land at award shows, but oftentimes the entire show is downright painful (shoutout to Amy Schumer). Overall, Jimmy Kimmel did a good job!!

The lovely birthday tribute to James Martin of An Irish Goodbye was one of my absolute favorite moments, how sweet was that.

I can’t remember if they’ve done this in past years, but regardless, the individual shoutouts to each Best Picture nomination was really nice to see.

This goes without saying, but all of the nominees and winners this year were absolutely wonderful and totally deserving. It made me really happy to see all of them recognized (despite a few snubs).

The reduced play off music! I was really happy to see they dialed it back compared to some of the other shows. Don’t get me wrong it’s always a little awkward and disappointing to see, but when award shows are playing off their biggest winners it’s downright embarrassing. At least the Oscars aren’t doing that too.

JENNYY!!! Her death absolutely DEVASTATED me so seeing her on stage was very healing<3

The performances were great! Naatu Naatu from RRR was really fun, Hold My Hand from Top Gun: Maverick was heartfelt, This Is A Life from Everything Everywhere All At Once had great visuals, and Lift Me Up from Black Panther was beautiful.

The speeches were heartfelt! They often are, but these really struck a chord.

The fashion was gorgeous too! Some favorites were Cara Delevingne, Jessica Chastain, and Lady Gaga.

All of my predictions were correct except one (director)! And they were who I was rooting for anyways so that was awesome.

Finally, this has been said many times before, but it’s been beyond delightful to see underappreciated older actors who’ve been in the industry for a long time finally having their well deserved moments. I don’t think I’ve ever been quite so happy to see anyone win an award before. I’m over the moon for Ke Huy Quan, Jamie Lee Curtis, Brendan Fraser, and Michelle Yeoh.

Edit: Just wanted to add this because I think it’s kinda funny but I was fully prepared to watch this muted and just turn the volume on for the speeches and people I like. I had the remote on hand and everything.

Ready for tomorrow's Academy Awards? Here's everything you need to know and see before tomorrow's ceremony!

[velvet4510]

Predicting right now that Cillian Murphy and Lily Gladstone will win Best Actor and Actress at this year’s Oscars.

[pinkeoni]

Okay here are my predictions, does not reflect personal preferences

[mort-the-destroyer]

I had a very vivid dream that Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio won best animated feature at the Oscar’s.

In the dream a lot of people were hoping it would be Puss in Boots but most people were happy with the choice. Most of all people said it was nice for the award to not be automatically be handed to Disney/Pixar.

A lot of people claimed that the movie wasn’t popular enough to win and others claimed it was antifa propaganda.

Who knows maybe that’s what’ll happen.

Also for some reason people kept talking about how there were no hood hosts anymore and that hosts should be more ridiculous. Particularly talking about Seth McFarland when he hosted, but that’s likely just because I loved that performance and I missed stuff like that.

[whoiskt]

My oscars predictions this year is Everything Everywhere All at Once sweep. At least for best picture/best actress/best supporting actress (Stephanie Hsu imo, but maybe Jamie Lee Curtis?)/best director/best screenplay/best editing.

If Cate Blanchett wins Best actress I'll just go kill myself. No offense to her but I was not impressed by Tár and if it wins any awards I'm done.

The only performance I've actually seen for the lead actor is Colin Farrell in The Banshees of Inisherin, so I can't say much but I think they'll probably give it to Brendan Fraser. The Whale wasn't good enough to get nominated itself but I bet the idea of a Comeback King is enough to give it to someone else.

Guillermo de Toro's Pinocchio for best animated feature.

[stanning-elmo]

A few very early Oscar predictions while I procrastinate doing my laundry:

I think Challengers will get best picture, best original screenplay, and best actress noms, I can't say what might win

Civil Wars will 100% get a lot of noms. I think it has pretty good odds at best picture and best actress and probably best original screenplay

Anora will definitely get a lot of noms since it's one of the most oscar-baity I've seen come out this year

I think Megalopolis will get a bunch of undeserved nominations but not win anything

The Substance will probably get best picture, best screenplay, best actress, and best supporting. I think it has a very good chance of winning at least one.

It Ends With Us will probably (sadly) get a best adapted screenplay

Wicked will probably get a deserved best adapted screenplay. Probably also hair/makeup and costuming. I think Cynthia Erivo could easily get a best actress nom but I wouldn't put money on her winning. Also probably a few sound related technical awards

Animated feature noms will likely include Memoir of a Snail, The Wild Robot, and Inside Out 2 since Disney has dirt on the entire voting panel and it's not animation experts picking. Hard to say which would win, though. I hope and pray that The Watchmen might be able to get a nomination but I doubt they're even gonna campaign.

I think I Saw the TV Glow will get at least one nomination, maybe best Director or original screenplay

The Apprentice will probably get a few noms, almost certainly Best Actor for Sebastian Stan

Some more misc ideas:

I think A Quiet Place Day One has some potential

Deadpool and Wolverine will probably get something because, again, Disney won't let a single Oscars pass without committing a little fraud

Razzies prediction: MEGALOPOLIS SWEEP LET'S GOOOOO
