I did not see a thread and thought I’d get one going. Who are your picks, and who are you wearing?

This would make the night for me.Best Actor - Riz Ahmed, Sound of Metal
Recorded this last night but didn't get a chance to watch yet. Looking forward to it!First Cow
Curious, what station is it playing on? I saw it back when it was on Hulu but it seems like when Hulu and HBO Max get some of these new movies, it is for a pretty limited time.Recorded this last night but didn't get a chance to watch yet. Looking forward to it!
It was on Showtime, which I didn't know I had. Maybe I have it for free for a time or something, or I'm paying for it and don't pay enough attention.

My workplace does Land Acknowledgments quite often. Not sure it’s worth having to potentially ruin a shirt getting worked up over it.Just watched the Academy president thank the ancestral people who originally inhabited the lands that the academy uses. His wokeness and virtue signaling made me want to throw up in my mouth.
I haven't watched anything associated with the Oscars in a long time and now I remember why. The patronizing attitude of these Hollywood #######s is maddening.
It seems like Boseman is the favorite for Best Actor (and I get why), but I think Ahmed was the better performance.This would make the night for me.
I'm hoping for Nomadland for Best Picture and Carey Mulligan for Best Actress (though I have not seen two of the performances so my opinion doesn't count). Would love to see Ahmed or second choice Anthony Hopkins for Actor. My Octopus Teacher or Collective in documentary feature would make me happy, as would Collective in foreign film (though Another Round is a shoo-in and was terrific, too). Have detailed my choices for the shorts in the recently viewed movie thread.
I'm wearing yoga pants with paint splatters on them, socks that came free on a Delta flight, and a hoodie from Husky Homestead in Alaska. Look for me in People magazine this week!

3371 new voters from 68 countries, and disproportionately younger, female, and not-white. I am not saying that is a negative, but it's 100% going to be a more inclusive result of voting.Best Picture - Nomadland
Best Director - Chloe Zhao, Nomadland
Best Actress - Viola Davis, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom
Best Actor - Chadwick Boseman, “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”
Supporting Actress - Amanda Seyfried, Mank
Supporting Actor - Daniel Kaluuya, Judas and the Black Messiah
Original Screenplay - Judas and the Black Messiah
I haven't see all of them either--but I think there is a certain "PC" element going to to happen tonight.....

Did you come up with these? at these three in particular.The Father- old guy can't find his watch
The Sound of Metal- Guy sells his RV, regrets it and tries to buy it back
Promising Young Woman- love is in the air as a med school drop out catches up with her old classmates
Plus this year, all the really big prestigious Hollywood movies didn't get released for obvious financial reasons. It created a really wide open race for smaller, independent movies.3371 new voters from 68 countries, and disproportionately younger, female, and not-white.

I did, thanksDid you come up with these? at these three in particular.
Aw, that's fantastic! Loved it!While I don’t have a hoodie from the Husky Homestead, I have been there. Awesome place.
Yeah, I was worried he was going to win just based on his name recognition.Happy with the first award. As long as it wasn't Aaron Sorkin for that garbage he put out...
Has he won before? Maybe for The Social Network?Yeah, I was worried he was going to win just based on his name recognition.
Yeah, pretty sure he won for that which was well deservedHas he won before? Maybe for The Social Network?
Agreed. I need to watch that again. I didn't love it (but did like it) the first time and feel like I should revisit.Yeah, pretty sure he won for that which was well deserved
Well, I thought they were doing Supporting Actor next. I do not expect him to win for Foreign Feature (though he is foreign and has great features).Go Daniel Kaluuya!
Loved itI watched the first 45 minutes of Best International film Another Round but it didn't grab me enough to go back to it the next night. I guess I should finish it now
Jeez man the guy is talking about his daughter who was supposed to be in his movie died 4 days before shooting, give him a break.Why is this guy still talking?
Yeah, that was ####### cold.Jeez man the guy is talking about his daughter who was supposed to be in his movie died 4 days before shooting, give him a break.
No, I think Anthony Hopkins had under 25 minutes for Silence of the Lambs. Pretty random.Odd that both the title characters of Judas and the Black Messiah are considered supporting actors. Is there some threshold of screen time or lines to qualify as a lead?
Before he got to his daughter, he was on for about 34 minutes.Loved it

Person and cliff's notes? I respect your opinion but I keep turning away.Awesome speech.
Daniel Kaluuya. Sorry, I hate when I'm not watching something and people make comments like mine without context, and didn't realize I was doing it, too! I'm not sure how to describe the speech. Maybe someone else could do a better job. It embarrassed his mom.Person and cliff's notes? I respect your opinion but I keep turning away.
Could be recency bias on my part but I think there are a lot of strong films this year.Kind of a bad year for movies. Not really excited for the ones nominated.
Yeah, a lot of times it also has to do with what award the studio in question lobbies for, which I think they base on their perceived quality of the competition.No, I think Anthony Hopkins had under 25 minutes for Silence of the Lambs. Pretty random.
Cool, thanks. I'll find it in the morning.Daniel Kaluuya. Sorry, I hate when I'm not watching something and people make comments like mine without context, and didn't realize I was doing it, too!
