You guys are literally sports center for film people

I wonder if anyone feels the same, but I almost have a theory that Emerald Fennell might be like the new Adam McKay if that makes sense? Like she's a provocateur, some people utterly loath her style but many adore it, and despite divisive reactions she'll just get in anyway? Like Promising Young Woman and Don't Look Up are almost on the same level of divisiveness and they both performed terrifically. I think there's a real chance that she has enough support in the industry to squeeze Saltburn into Picture, Screenplay, Editing, Cinematography, and maybe even Rosamund Pike for a nice awards package.

Poor Things and Barbie are basically each other's main rival, as they can be pitted in almost all the same categories- Picture, Production Design, Costume, Actress, Suppoting Actor...I do think Oppenheimer is getting Picture, Director, Screenplay and a few technicals, while Barbie and Poor Things split up the rest of the technicals, acting and art categories.

Actress can go many different ways this year. My only locks are Mulligan and Stone.

Poor things will be the movie of the year

Emma Stone and Carey Mulligan for Best Actress, Barry Keoghan for Best Actor. Poor Things, Maestro and Saltburn are some of my biggest hopes this season, besides my TIFF to-do list Next Goal Wins, Dumb Money, Quiz Lady, Toll, Monster and Rustin. And Lee because we want another DiCaprio/Winslet reunion at the Academy awards 😍

You guys are so high off the buzz, Nolan will sweep director, he is way over due and exceeded expectations with 800million box office on a 3 hour biopic. Poor Things will win 4 oscars, Actress, Make Up, Costume, and production design

Letterboxd scores are still kind of a film Twitter bubble, not necessarily indicative of wide praise

Emma should have won her 1st Oscar for Favourite, in the leading role category even!!! Somehow I can't consider her win for La la land, I just couldn't buy that movie even though she did wonderfully!

i truly truly hope andrew scott gets nominated this year

great stream/video, thank you. this award season is bonkers and i cant wait for poor things no more. like it was my most anticipated movie in the beginning of the year and now it got moved to february 2024 in germany :(

Poor Things is getting me so freaking on, I'll watch it in New York, alongside with Maestro (Carey!!!), All of Us Strangers and Ferrari (which is turning me off rn but I'll give it a chance) Based on your Cannes reviews, I'll give a look to The Zone of Interest, Monster and Anatomy of a Fall at TIFF, specially excited for the Triet/Huller duet. Others that I'm on board is La Chimera by Alice Rohrwacher who got a Silver Medallion at Telluride and Toll by Caroline Markowicz who got the Tribute Award at TIFF, and I'll surely be waiting for your reviews on them cause I'm riding these awards hype (you didn't really review La Chimera, correct me if I'm wrong). Plus they're female directed films, which kinda matters - some of my favorites this year are female directed (Barbie and Past Lives) Others at TIFF that I already have tickets for are these ones you mentioned: Holdovers, Rustin, Nyad and Boy and the Heron. And some dark horses: Fingernails (Riz and Buckley!!!), Concrete Utopia and Woman of the Hour (also female directed by miss Anna Kendrick)

I feel like Andrew Scott will have to get full-on critics support to have a true shot. I think he could take Giamatti's spot.

I'm mostly looking forward the international picks, could be a year with more of that in Best Picture (Decision to Leave and all the International Picture films last year were Best Picture worthy) Hopeful to see less bias - and I'm a proud fellow american. Barbenheimer and Emma Stone are enough. And Scorsese.

Jigging on it is my brand new favorite phrase

23:38 Saoirse Ronan, Glenn Close, Amy Adams and Michelle Williams fans are laughing so hard

It would be a shame if Across the Spider Verse does not get a Score nomination because I find it hard to believe that the fall festival movies are going to have a better score than this one.

I want Carey Mulligan for best actress because she has been robbed for promising young women before but Emma stone also good performance in poor things.

If the critics won’t be giving Bradley Cooper the awards, then who do we think will be the critics’ sweeper? Cillian?

Poor things got lots of sex in it, including Marc Ruffalo, I'm not ashamed of admitting that. I wanna see the Hulk

And I do not know what to do with the Bening/Foster combo from Nyad. Toronto should provide some more insight. I have them both in right now but just barely.

Any opinion on the movie origin getting the awards buzz.

my zach and cody 😩😩

adapted screenplay should totally go to killers of the flower moon

So this is a "hella competitive" year. Do you think that was a reason for slipping Dune 2 into 2024? (I'm not suggesting that it is the only reason.)

Could Giamatti miiss out AGAIN?

I hope these "woke disciples" can put their biases aside and also talk about, surprise smash-hit, "Sound of Freedom"!🤔
