Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

Good start. I don't know if Colman Domingo will win, but he seems to be almost certain to be nominated again for Sing Sing , which if it had been released in 2023 might have given him a better shot than Rustin did. We've already had winning female directors, but we've never had a winning Black direc...

Wes Anderson's explanation of his absence: “If I could have been there, I (along with [producer] Steven Rales) would have said ‘Thank You’ to: the family of Roald Dahl; the team at Netflix; Benedict [Cumberbatch] and Ralph [Fiennes] and Ben Kingsley and Dev [Patel] … and more [of the cast and crew],...

There's a lot of information out there about adjusting for inflation, but has anyone done a study on adjusting for percentage of population? That would be tricky for movies such as Gone With The Wind which have had multiple re-releases over the years. They should just count box office attendance as...

Let the discussion begin.

I thought I said it here, but it may have been in another thread or someplace else, but I think they deliberately chose Gambon and Turner to confound people like us.

You mean the long list they flashed by that no one with normal or less than normal eyesight could see?

Not sure if he is the biggest name they missed, but where was Treat Williams?

She and her brother Finnias O'Connell at 26 are the youngest two-time winners.

I thought it was an average show but well done for what it was. There were no obnoxious presenters and most of the acceptance speeches were what you'd more or less expect. Cord Jefferson, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and a genuinely surprised Emma Stone came off best. Supposedly Ryan Gosling referred to hi...

Erivo never takes ff her nose ring unless it's for a part and they make her.

Congratulations, everyone. My line-by-line predictions were that Killers of the Flower Moon would go home empty-handed, but for some reason I left it out of the extra point mention which would have gotten me a few more points but not the win. I said in another thread that I thought they might mentio...

Update: That critique of Kimmel and the show that Kimmel read just before the Best Picture presentation was an actual post from the disgraced former president. Loved his response, "isn't it past your jail time?"

Confirmed: The in memoriam segment for the 2024 Oscars began with a message from recently deceased Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. The clip came from the documentary "Navalny," which won best documentary feature film at the 2023 awards ceremony. "The only thing necessary for...
