Seeing Matt burst through that door just made my day lmao You guys are the best.

first Film Drunk and now Matt.... honestly more award predictors should collab with each other, this is fun!

the point about Fabelmans having a literal film editing scene in the movie and then missing editing got me hahaha

Y'all's performance in the beginning of the video truly deserves the oscars best actor sweep

That’s it, I’m flying to the east coast rn

When Cole mentioned on Twitter he was doing a collab for Oscar predictions, I was hoping it would be Matt!

Now this is a hell of a collab, Excited to watch!

I'm not getting Power of the Dog vibes, I'm getting Shape of Water vibes. People like it, but we're all like "but it's weird" for one and "remember Green Book/CODA last year" for two, but I think when it comes down to it, obvious frontrunner was obvious.

I feel so much smarter after watching you guys. Fun and informative. Invite Matt back!

I can totally see Butler taking SAG or BAFTA and then giving an emotional speech thanking Lisa Marie Presley which would make him front runner in my mind

It’s honestly so exciting that the main categories are still so up for grabs. That said we might still be underestimating the possibilities of that EEAAO sweep

My favorite people together! I admire you all so much since years ago. Thank you for all your contributions

The Whale missing best picture is what really hurts Brendan Fraser’s winning chances. An actor hasn’t won the best lead actor award for a film that missed best picture since Jeff Bridges won for crazy heart. And that was all the way back in 2010.

In my eyes, the backlash about Viola Davis and Danielle Deadwyler missing Best Actress is going to help Angela Bassett. Supporting Actress is the only category where a black woman stands to win an acting Oscar, and it's possible that a lot of Academy members will be scared of the backlash the organization will face if that doesn't happen.

As a fan of yours and Next Best Picture this was so awesome!! Thanks guys!

Omg Matt! Collab of the century

I really hope Michelle Yeoh and Brendan Fraser win the Sags and the Oscars. I'm so tired of biopics winning all the acting awards. We need original ideas to be more recognized.

It's pretty sad that people will vote a performer an Oscar based on a speech they give at SAG or BAFTA.

You guys are terrific

*Mr. Peanutbutter voice* Matt Neglia, the Oscar Expert and Brother Bro in the same room? What is this, a crossover episode?

Regina king and Allison Janney both won oscar without a best picture nomination and they were up with nominees from best picture nominated movies. I think Bassest is safe

My boys 😍 the Matt arriving intro is what should be winning best picture this year ❤ I had so much fun watching this vid. Xx

Awesome show! Great collab with Matt.

I'm glad Justin appreciates the betting market, Vegas really knows. De Armas was a top 5 betting favorite the entire year and look what happened.

cant believe you made Matt do the awkward outro. I respect it

You guys make the best trio! More cross overs, please!

I fully believe that Director is a race between Daniels and Field. Fabelmans needs more momentum for director, and it's dwindled big time, people can feel the pull. I'm actually more convinced of Fabelmans winning Original Screenplay as it's consolation prize and Everything Everywhere and Banshees flocking to Director and Acting awards for their awards pre-Best Picture announcement. If Fabelmans wins Original, Spielberg is still awarded, as well as in a way he's never been before, AND it finally gets Tony Kushner his first Academy Award, one of the most overdue writers in Oscar history. Director comes down to Daniels Vs Field, because it's the passion pick between the auteur pick. Sometimes the two are the same (Campion, Zhao) and a sweep occurs, but this feels like a Mendes Vs Joon-Ho. Mendes/Daniels with the clear technical achievement that pushes one element of the film form to new heights (cinematography for 1917, editing for EEAAO), while the auteur pick (Parasite, TÁR) is almost less showy on the surface but it's grasp on film elements is so co-ordinated that it becomes clear no other director could direct their respective films like that.

Ommmgaahhhd best trio!!! Yayyy Matt

Their little moment of silence and reminiscence after Brother Bro brought up Green Book winning over The Favourite for adapted screenplay was great, with the zoom ins and everything.

So glad you guys brought Matt on and would love to see him here again. Huge fan of all of you!

No way, is that the frequently mentioned Matt Neglea from the one and only Next Best Picture!

Yessss!!! Love the collab!!! Next can we get Austin Burke, Perri Nemiroff, and Breakfast All Day (Alonzo Duralde)

Haha love it! Hope you do more collabs soon

OMG MATT! I squealed with joy seeing Matt burst in.

"the other two performances are COVERED in makeup and prosthetics" "Angela Bassett's got a crazy hat on" Oscar Expert with the laugh lines!

For me it’s up to this point, it’s Best Picture ( personal favorite): EEAAO, Director: Daniels (Personal Choice), Best Actress: Cate Blanchett, she’s the frontrunner and I feel deserves it. Although I would be ecstatic if Michelle Yeoh wins. Best Actor: Frontrunner is Brendan Fraser but in a controversial opinion, having watched all the movies, it should go to either Colin Farrell or Austin Butler. Colin had an amazing performance plus is Overdue, Austin Butler did the impossible and became Elvis not some impression. Supporting should go to Stephanie Hsu but it’s going To Angela Bassett, Ke Huy Quan for best S Actor and Best Screenplays, Banshees and Women’s Talking.

Its nice seeing a familiar voice!! ❤️

I don't think many people are considering how TÁR could become an unexpected alternative to EEAAO. Given the sheer amount of picture awards it's won from critics groups, Blanchett being a near lock to win Actress, and Todd Field being a definite possible winner in Director, I think the stars *could* align for a TÁR best picture win.

I'm loving the VIP guests lately!

4 Minutes in and absolutely loving this conversation. This is delightful!

I know Brendan is winning. I mean everyone was very good, but Fraser did something unique, that I have not seen before. It was beautiful his work.

Omg is it Matt... Is it that Matt? IT'S THAT MATT, OH MY GOD. NEXT BEST PICTURE AND OSCAR EXPERT TEAMED UP. I'M SO HAPPY. THREE OF THE GREATEST OSCAR PREDICTORS. Matt is my favourite Letterboxd reviewer omg

matt’s bald head is a nice contrast to the oscar expert and brother bro’s luscious locks

1 hour for this video but I felt like 15 minutes.

Great to see Matt haha

While it's not Spielberg's best, I don't get the slander against Fabelmans.

I honestly hope that Angela Bassett wins the Oscar but I’m not gonna get my hopes up because of the Chadwick situation!

It's funny that the Oscar would go to "whose speech at SAG and BAFTA got people to want to vote for". But understandable though as no way we can compare arts, Fraser, Farrell and Butler delivered the amazing performances, so the Oscar can't judge by their performances alone.

Didn’t expect and in person appearance of Matt

I actually think that Best Picture comes to: Everything Everywhere, Top Gun Maverick, Women Talking and Banshees Director: Spielberg, Daniels and maybe Field

Tar will win best picture…. EEAAO was hated by older voter

Brendan Fraser is really strong imo. In cinematoraphy, Empire of Light could make a surprise.

Great as always guys !!

"I haven't seen a 'Spotlight' reference since...probably 'Spotlight.'" 😂

This is my Mutiverse of Madness

EEAO is this years Eternal Sunshine, I see it winning Original screenplay and supporting actor. Director Todd Field and Picture Top Gun winning four Adapted Screenplay, Editing, Sound

Top 10 most ambitious anime crossovers of all time: Number 1. Oscar Expert + Brother Bro & NBP.

I don’t understand the Kerry Condon choice. I haven’t seen any love or momentum for this choice. If anything, I would say Stephanie Hsu has a lot of love for an upset. I mean, the way people have cheered tremendously whenever her name is amongst the nominees.

I feel like it’s a little silly to stay on Daniels if they lose DGA, that’s one of the strongest correlations.

collab of the century real

It's a shame that I can't comment the video of Quentin Tarantino screaming "Cate Blanchett" here.

I’m surprised with your lack of faith for Banshees, it’s my favourite by far. I’d love it to win picture/screenplay and fairly confident Farrell will win best actor.

my alternative to everything everywhere for picture is still top gun. despite its cinematography snub, lack of director and actor, getting screenplay is even better than getting all of those nowadays. Especially if they go with what brother bro said about the voters picking their favourite movie (but I can't remember a block buster action movie winning a screenplay before). I think when it comes to the older demographic, theres no movie that they would like more than top gun. A package of screenplay, sound, possibly editing and picture doesn't seem too impossible. And also, with long lasting impact, Top Gun is most definitely going to have impact. No one (general audience) is going to be talking about the fabelmans or banshees in the future, but top gun will still be a career high for cruise. It also is the most well rounded in reviews with high high 90s for both audience and critics (whereas everything everywhere has become a tad bit more divisive among audiences).

This is very entertaining however the following is how it will turn out next month. Congratulations to Austin Butler and now it’s on to the Academy Awards where Austin will win the Oscar for his dynamic performance as The King. It was before the Elvis movie was released and the prediction was made that he would win both the Golden Globe and the Oscar. It’s time for Elvis Presley to get his Oscar for his immeasurable contributions to the movie industry. The new book Elvis: The Quest for an Oscar was written with that specific goal in mind. When the Academy Awards are aired and Austin Butler wins the best actor Oscar, Priscilla should be standing right next to him accepting the Oscar for Elvis Presley. Please go to Barnes & Noble, read some reviews of the book and marvel at some of the photographs, how about the cover of the book. It is a fantastic image of Elvis Presley at the very beginning of his illustrious movie career. Spread the word, Elvis: The Quest for an Oscar.

I just realised that Everything Everywhere All At Once would be the first science fiction movie ever to win best picture, if it actually manages to win. That would be an awesome first movie.

My final predictions Best Picture Top Gun Maverick Best Director Daniels EEAAO Best Actor Colin Farrel Banshees of Inersherin Best Actress Cate Blanchett TAR Best Supporting Actor Ke Huy Kwan EEAAO Best Supporting Actress Angela Bassett Black Panther Best Orginal Screenplay EEAAO Best Adapated Screenplay Top Gun Maverick Best Cinematography All Quiet on Western Front Best Original Score Babylon Best Production Design Babylon Best Sound Top Gun Maverick Best Editing Top Gun Maverick Best Costume Design Black Panther Best Makeup & Hair Elvis Best Visual Effects Avatar Way of Water Best Animation GDTs Pinnochio Best Foriegn Language film All Quiet on Western Front Best Documentary Fire of Love Best Orignal Song RRR-Nattu Nattu

If Angela Bassett wins SAG she will have enough to win the Oscar. Kerry Condon doesn't have the resume and name recognition to be Anthony Hopkins.

The greatest collaboration everrr 😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This video gets my personal award for Best Editing of an Oscar Expert channel video.

In regards to production design, I feel like we're not addressing the fact that they built a city block (Beale St) and Graceland mockup in Australia. On top of having to recreate these realistic performance spaces like for the '68 comeback special and Las Vegas. I feel like the Oscar should be for more than just what the voters remember by watching the film or what's flashy but like the craft behind it. That's why all these behind the scenes craft videos and articles are coming out.

I am rooting for Triangle of Sadness. I really enjoyed that movie! I also really enjoyed Banshees… so I just don’t know but either of those two movies win. I was disappointed that Charlotte Wells didn’t get a nom for director or screenplay. Aftersun was such a really beautiful story.

36:00 Colin Farrell and Olivia Colman both awarded in Venice Film Festival also

Congrats guys! Love your videos! You should do a top 10 movies from 2022.

If he has a youtube channel besides the website and the podcast, can someone link Matt's channel I see this guy for the first time and he is great.

truthfully was hoping for the Film Drunk to make a surprise appearance LOL

Werid seeing Neglia as a person and not a disembodied voice on a podcast

15:24 i'm deceased

Cate also won volpi idk how well that correlates to the Oscar Same for Collin

Love a Spotlight reference

Mark my words: Top Gun: Maverick will walk away with film editing, adapted screenplay and Best Picture on Oscar night.

Thanks, OE! Thanks, BB! Thanks, Matt! #TheOscarExpert #Predictions

omg this collab is so iconic

What so special with Angela Bassett in black panther. I mean she was ok in a mid movie. All the other 4 performance was far better. Hope Kerry Condon wins or Hong Chau.

Nice surprise boys.👍🏻

Who else knew the guest was gonna be Matt Neglia by looking at the shadow 🤣

Intro deserves an Oscar😂

If you wanna give Yeoh the Oscar then give her a lifetime achievement award. Cate had the most magnificent and impressive performance of the year and therefore most deserving of the leading actress trophy. It's just tough shit that it has been a very competitive category.

Hard disagree on opening the show with a Naatu Naatu performance. A) You don't want your best performance of the night to come too early, and B) why would you give the massive Indian viewership coming just for this more incentive to click off 5 minutes into the show? I know, they'll probably stick around to see it win, but they could easily switch channels in the meantime. But point A) is still more important... Always play the song you know is gonna win LAST!

“there’s something about it feeling less accepted this time around” good save buddy😂 it literally happened last year with Chastain

I think The Banshees of Inisherin will win BP. It already has the Globe, it will win BAFTA and SAG/ PGA. But PGA will probably go for EEAAO. DGA will go for The Fabelmans or Tar. Right now, it seems like EEAAO is the frontrunner and after the guilds it will seem like a three horse race and that will pave the way for a Banshees win. I feel it will win Picture and Screenplay for sure. I'm also predicting it to win Score. It can maybe win (dare I say it) Director or Actor but I'll only predict those after BAFTA and SAG.

What is this, a crossover episode?!

Matttttttt

Well I have no idea who Matt is so it looks like his crossover (cameo) was worth it

Now we need Erik from Awards Watch!

Just enough Matt not enough cat

collab of the century

You guys! I thought you’d discuss the quality of acting performances in the other 3 like you did with Blanchett. Instead I watch you predicting Fraser, Quan and Bassett for sentimental (not to mention pc)reasons. Fraser had an emotional performance, no stretch there. Quan’s as zany and noisy like EEAAO, and Bassett because she’s a WOC. Wtf. Best QUALITY of performance goes to Farrell (range!), Gleeson or (brilliant) Keoghan, and without a doubt the very best in the category goes to Condon. So what they are white? They’re Irish! and that should count for diversity 😅 I’m sticking with my prediction now that I’ve seen the front runners at least twice. The Banshees of Inisherin has the best writing and acting ensemble hands down. The haunting score at least got a nom. The cinematography snub still has me scratching my head. EEAAO is a movie you either love or hate. Yeoh and company were terrific. But not the BEST. And the movie irritated hell out of me. A comic book on meth. I like Jackie Chan, Monty Python, Samuel Beckett and Timothy Leary. But not the mash up. Maybe bcuz I’m over 50?

Y’all should make a list of what you think should win, I would love to see that if you haven’t already. Cause your friend there is right, the Batman should be winning score, cinematography, and hair/makeup. At least, sound probably too.
