Re: CAS Nominations
Oppenheimer as expected, though the absence of Zone of Interest from the nominees leaves that race faintly alive.

Re: Visual Effects Society nominations
We somehow neglected to note that The Creator won the top prize here. But, since Godzilla wasn't among the contenders, it's hard to know how dispositive that is.

Re: USC Scripter Nominations
As noted elsewhere, American Fiction is the winner. Once again, Oppenheimer, despite a quite commendable script -- and being seemingly poised to trounce at AMPAS -- can't win over the writers. The comparison I come up with is The English Patient, which had a finely textured screenplay but couldn't g...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Adapted Screenplay
Put me down for "four of the five here could win". I can't bring myself to believe so determinedly a non-dialogue piece as The Zone of Interest could win in anything other than a free-for-all pure accident. Of course, if I'm saying the other four are all in it, that's precisely the thing t...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Live-Action Short Film
I belatedly realize that I never came back to comment, after seeing Invincible. It turned out, that was my least-favorite of the bunch, simply because it felt like the thinnest storyline. As Magilla says, we know what happened from the get-go, and what follows doesn't particularly illuminate it. The...

Since information has begun to be released, a thread to collect anything of potential interest.
To lead off, the return of a format some here loved and others, as I recall, despised:

Re: Categories One by One: Best Original Score
I HAVE done the due diligence -- sat through all of Dial of Destiny, even ate the $5.99 cost (curse you, Netflix disc, for disappearing in my hour of need). And I can confirm your sonic-only impression: occasionally I'd find myself thinking, Oh: there's some new music...and then, a few minutes later...

Re: SAG Thoughts/Winners to be Added
Mister Tee wrote For best actor and supporting actor, it's 2002. In 2003, Bill Murray won the BAFTA but Jonny Depp won the SAG. And Sean Penn won the Golden Globe (and the Critics Choice). Which means Penn pulled in Giamatti’s tally (also the previous nominations guy) while Depp and Murray were… we...

Re: SAG Thoughts/Winners to be Added
Well, they tried hard to take all the fizz out of the Oscars, but faltered at the last minute, saints be praised. At least one category is genuinely alive. (And thank god the WGA's are late this year, so they can't ruin the screenplay competition.) That guy doing the "interviews" during wh...
