I listened to Ryan Lotanzio’s (sp?) list on indie wire podcast and he had Hedda, plus Misericordia at #1, which doesn’t not scream queer bias lol. I’ve got Hedda in my ten and Misericordia closer to 20. Idk, queer stuff can be bad but when it’s good it’s really special in this cishetero world.

Curious, what is the other site, the gold derby? Or, heaven forbid, awards daily?

Hope your family is ok ofc. All kinds of things happen, so ofc it’s all good.

But what is not all good is Once Upon a Time In Hollywood lol. My least favorite Tarantino by a fair margin.

Shocked Portrait of a Lady on Fire didn’t get it. Couldn’t believe Sophia didn’t pick it.

I recently listened to the 94 Oscar retrospective where you promised to be against once upon a time in Hollywood in 2019. Next day I listened to the 2019 one, Once upon a Time won best pic bc you and Karen weren’t there. Crushingly disappointed lol.

So I pity you not, and look fwd to yr pods.

Supporting actor most competitive, supp. Actress next, lead actor second least, and lead actress least competitive.

Supporting actor is like, 25-33% across 3-4 ppl. Supp actress is maybe 33-50% across 2-3 ppl? Lead actor down to two? Leo third?

The pictures tell the story of the incident of the mom getting cancer and the settlement from the company? They tell the story of the cops babysitting abuse? The cousins suicide? They tell the story of how Plemmons caught on to the aliens and replicated their ship?

No, thanks, I’m good.

I love The Favourite and Poor Things.

Bugonia just ain’t it but it’s borderline locked for bp nom. Lotta telling, not showing in that movie.

One Battle’s first big miss….

Concerning?

I’m with you. I LOOOOOVE her, but imho Bugonia just ain’t it. Good year to take a break from her and spread the shine, but SAG is hooked on Emma I guess.

Sophia nailed Best Actress. Ryan has to eat his words re: Wunmi.

Sandler is cooked.
Is Edgerton cooked?
Caton took the Delroy spot, so what does that mean?

And holy shit no Sentimental Value, nothing. Wtf does that mean!?

Kant is pretty dense. But all those guys are dense. Spinoza, Hume, Hobbes.

Descartes and Rousseau are exceptions.

Yeah like— that speech sealed it no?

“Leo, I’m staring straight at you.”

What does that mean? I get he intends a respectful recognition but it comes out awkwardly.

He’s… annoying?
