I got 19/23 on the ballot at my friend's party. Missed all the shorts and editing. Unfortunately KY doesn't allow betting on the Oscars!! Or fortunately, I'm not always this on top of it lol
The last person to win four oscars in one night? Walt Disney in 1954.
Hugely happy for Sean Baker. He's been an incredible filmmaker for 20 years, and really deserves this.
No Other Land winning best doc is deeply deserved and Yuval and Basel's speech will go down as one of the most important in Oscar history. I teared up. Absolutely incredible moment.
My predicts are Anora for BP, director, OG screenplay.
Conclave for adapted screenplay and editing.
Actor - Brody, Actress - Madison, but fr in a toss up w Moore, supp actor - Culkin, - supp actress - Saldana.
Nickel Boys is now available on Prime if you're not in the US, and on MGM+ through Prime if you are in the US (free trial available, just cancel immediately). It can also be rented for like $5. This is a must watch, one of the best movies of last year and criminally underseen right now.
They'd never admit it, but I do think it's Karla Sofia Gascon's fault. They were originally going to do the 5 previous winners buttering up the nominees like they did last year again, but switched. Which I'm fine with cus I wasn't a big fan of that.
