Happy Oscars day, everyone! I, and probably most on this board, would love to see Michael B. Jordan snag the trophy, even though Timothee Chalamet is the front-runner and look forward to Conan O'Brien hosting.

Yes, but I would say the wonderful Jessie Buckley for Hamnet is the only real lock of the acting categories.

He hasn't been for weeks, if he ever was. Him losing the BAFTA was the big sign. He's not well-liked, and that matters. You can see it in the ridiculous response to him pointing out that most people don't go to the ballet or the opera.

MBJ is the current favorite, but there's been enough of a racist backlash against him that I wouldn't be shocked if Ethan Hawke wins.

I think Marty Supreme is very good and Timmy is very talented, but he screwed himself in the last week or so with those silly comments and he'll deserve it if he loses for it. I've been rooting for OBAA and Sinners for a long time - I think OBAA is PTA's best and most substantial film since Phantom Thread, and less of a piss-take than some of his other recent ones I liked but found lighter - so I'll be happy if they take a lot of it (and Rose Byrne for Legs). Hamnet has some lovely performances and beautiful direction, I adore Jessie Buckley, Mescal is great and little Jacobi Jupe was stunning too, but the second half is classic calculated Weinstein/Miramax Oscar bait straight out of the '90s, heavy on thudding schmaltz, and so I found a lot of the latter portion of the film tedious. Billy Shakes improvising To Be or Not to Be like beat poetry on the docks was giving Good Will Hunting's more memed moments.

I am very happy for Amy Madigan tonight, even if I think it should've gone to Teyana or Wunmi Mosaku. Madigan has been a strong powerhouse and underrated stalwart for films even in leaner years, particularly the often forgotten, oats & dust indies of the '80s and other genre pictures where she first made her name. Weapons is not entirely the sum of its parts for me unlike Barbarian, but it has wonderful work from her, Julia Garner, Brolin, Austin Abrams and little Cary Christopher from Days. So I'll be glad for her win as is.
