I hope Top Gun Maverick wins a few but I predict the awards will go to films which weren't as popular at the box office.

I am guessing the campaign to get Terrifier 2 a Oscar nod didn't work?

Trevor: Sorry, but I hope not; not a fan of TOP GUN. Anyway, EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE was crowd-pleasing hit that's going to win a lot of acting awards and maybe even Best Picture.

Alex: nope.

My post on my awards group's votes was close enough to the Oscar slate to work as a preview: https://366weirdmovies.com/online-film-critics-society-26th-annual-awards-with-our-votes/

I want Puss in Boots to win best animated but it's almost certainly losing to either Turning Red or Pinocchio.

As for Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, I hope it wins every single thing it's nominated for.

I will vomit if Blonde wins Best Actress. The fact it's nominated is embarrassing.

As predicted Robert Eggers and The Northman is again snubbed so to the Oscars:

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is about 20 minutes WAY too long. I would overall say it's good not great.

Not a Tom Cruise fan so I haven't seen Top Gun: Maverick. I'll get to it eventually.

The animation award is a joke as for the most part it's in Di$ney's pocket.

I want Bruce Willis to get an honorary Oscar

I used to look forward to the Oscars but haven't in years. Too self-indulgent. Too activist. Too long. Too out of touch. And frankly too boring. I usually don't even know what's been nominated or what the nominated movies are about. Didn't used to be the case but is now.

looks like the only movie I saw this year that was nominated for anything was The Batman

disappointed that Nope and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent weren't nominated for Best Original Screenplay

I remain doubtful that a movie with kung fu in it will win in any of the major categories. That being said, I have no horse in this race.

I've felt that for several years at least that the Oscars weren't really relevant anymore (and it doesn't matter what they do diversity-wise, it won't solve the problem). Mind you, I feel the same way about the Razzies. They seem to be a joke that has gone past its sell-by date. Judging from their declining viewing figures I guess other people are having similar feelings on it. Still, last years figures were up. I wonder if that was just a one-off, or a reversing of the trend.

I'll need to have a look at this years nominations and see if I've watched anything up for an award.

EDIT: I've seen 5 of the movies up for awards and there are a couple more I plan on seeing. It has been a long times since I've seen that many of the contenders, or had interest in seeing them.

I read that because Danielle Deadwyler and the film Till were passed over for nominations, the AAMPAS has now launched an investigation into possible flouting of Oscar rules.  :buggedout:

You didn't get nominated: get over it.

Is it bad that all I remember from last years Oscars was the slap?

I couldn'r even tell you who won best supporting actor/actress without looking it up.

Same here. I think last year I'd only seen one of the movies nominated and had no interest in seeing any others.

You (and everyone) should definitely see "Everything Everywhere..." It's a sci-fi comedy, nothing at all like the usual boring Oscar contenders. "Banshees of Inisherin" is also great, but its more in the usual Oscar vein.
