They say the Oscars only like prosthetics, but they also snubbed guardians 3, which has the most prosthetics of any movie ever

Barbie and Priscilla not making it into the hair and make-up category is a HUGE crime! Also Past Lives not making it into score?? The Academy needs to be put on trial asap.

You guys didn’t mention it but Wish didn’t get shortlisted for Song either, Wish will be the first Disney musical to miss an Original Song nomination since Mulan in 1998.

Them not knowing what "The Last Voyage of the Demeter" was had me dying, I saw that movie in theaters lol

I really would love to see Godzilla Minus One make the final list for Visual Effects. The fact that the movie looks SO good on such a tiny budget is absolutely mind-blowing. Of course it might not get in for much more stuff, since the Oscar crowd usually has their favorites picked out LONG before Minus One came out. I’d at least like to see it get in for that.

'The Last Voyage of the Demeter' is actually one of the reasons for Barbenheimer. Nolan had an agreement with Universal that Universal won't premiere any of their movies within a certain amount of time before and after Nolan's movies. Universal wanted to have digital release of 'Last Voyage' (if it fails in theaters) right before the Labour Day while being able to have 'Oppenheimer' still in theaters during Labour Day - so, they only had one possible option for Oppenheimer premiere.

No Priscilla in hair and Makeup is a joke. It’s a rubber face award clearly.

I honestly wish that Diane Warren was banned from being nominated at this point. The Best Original Song category is constantly throwing away a nomination slot. From the last 9 years of the Oscars, Diane Warren has filled 8 of those years. It's essentially a 4 nominee category at this point. I'm genuinely sick and tired about it.

I need to know what Diane Warren has on the Academy voters lmao

GOTG vol. 3 would have deserved the nomination for makeup and hairstyling!😉

I'm so happy that Am i dreaming from spider man across the spider verse made the list for song

You didn’t take a look at the Animated Short Shortlist but TheBrave Locomotive is gone too. Got a huge following for capturing Disney’s old cartoon’s heart, and ironically now left the opening for Once Upon aStudio to go all the way in.

even tho voyage wasnt the most well received film im just happy to see horror representation hopefully its actually considered for a nom and isnt just like crimes of the future last year only making it onto the shortlist and being immediately forgotten

"Godzilla minus one" deserves to be on the list for best original score.

Wait KOTFM did have some gore didn’t it? In the explosion scene? And the stuff with Molly’s illness

I'm totally in the opposite camp: I think Wes Anderson in short film is one of the biggest locks of the Oscars this year. Not only did it get rave reviews across the board (with some saying it's among his best work), but even with their tendency to gatekeep from time to time, they're not exactly adverse to star power, either (Steven Wright, Brendan Gleeson, and Riz Ahmed have all directed and/or starred in winning films in this category, and Kobe Bryant won Best Animated Short, as well). And with John Travolta, Ben Whishaw, David Oyelowo, AND Pedro Almodóvar, Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal all directing or starring in shortlisted shorts this year, this year is especially star-studded. Also, to me it seems like what they gatekeep is when, say, a Taylor Swift submits a long-form music video into the category; someone who they feel may not deserve it from a filmmaker perspective. But Wes Anderson is the epitome of a well-respected filmmaker, and at the same time, it's also not a guarantee (based on his last few polarizing, divisive films) that he'll be making bangers decades from now like a Scorsese or Spielberg. This could be their best chance to honor one of the most influential filmmakers of the last 25-30 years, and I think they'll take it.

Actually sad none of the songs from Wonka made it. The music in that movie was very charming

"The Last Voyage of the Demeter" was quite good. Felt very reminiscent of "Alien" and "The Thing" in terms of its approach, and the creature effects are gnarly enough. Would make a worthy nominee.

The Teachers' Lounge for Germany! YAY! People finally need to see it and realize what a masterpiece it is.

The last voyage of the Demeter is based on a part of the novel Dracula

Killers makeup was probably for the oil scenes and all the prosthetics and makeup for the dead characters

Good news for the Zone of Interest - hope it bodes well for my biggest nailbiter: Best Director nom for Glazer. P.S. I love Brother Bro's shirt

Feeling like Barbie will over-perform in either Score or Sound but I have no clue which 🥴 and that scares me

I'm very upset Priscilla & Barbie did not make Makeup & Hairstyling just because The Academy likes transformative prosthetics for like Maestro, Oppenheimer, Poor Things, Ferrari, or like Golda. Past Lives not making Best Score is upsetting, but now I'm worried it'll miss other categories too.

Society of the Snow is kinda all over the place here…

how did you two not freak out when past lives score didn't make it😭

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Voyage of the Demeter because the script really let that movie down. But that was such a well made and well acted movie and I’m glad it’s got shortlisted for one of the techs. I thought the lighting, sound and set design was also very good.

Im so happy with The Zone of Interest love!!!

As a Flora and Son enjoyer I was also not expecting them getting 2 LMAO

The International Feature Oscar is one of my things, so I travelled hundreds of miles on an overnight coach to attend a film festival in order to watch the Lithuanian submission Slow. It won awards at Sundance and I thought it was one I NEEDED to see. Since I'd put in the time and expense I also checked out the other films that were in the same screen that day. I didn't think much of the new Hamaguchi and the Swedish awkward humour film was not to my taste, but the first film I saw was Bhutan's The Monk and The Gun. I ended up really liking it, to the extent it was my favourite film of the day over Slow. This surprises me, because I didn't like Lunana as a film and thought it should have been disqualified the year it was nominated because Bhutan had tried to submit it the year before. I walked out of the cinema thinking "It's a shame that won't get shortlisted when Lunana did" I'm glad to be proved wrong. Kokomo City not even being on the shortlist is an absolute travesty.

At this point, the only thing that could stop Diane Warren from getting a song nomination is if she wrote something for a Marvel movie.

Change of setting means it's Xmas time and they're at their parents. We want a cameo from Miss Sister Krueger!

I will laugh again if France's The Taste of Things gets nominated eventually. People watch that one single high-profile French film per year and don't even know the alternatives, then bitch about how it deserved to be the submission and nothing else - CLOWNS! It was the exact same with Les miserables and Portrait of a Lady on Fire.

Society of the Snow has to win something the effort that the actors put into this movie is insane

So sad that our Polish "The Peasants" didn't make it. That movie was absolutely stunning. I would love to hear your guys' thoughts on it

Please no John Williams. No Diane Warren. Enough!!!! They could both write music about farting and get nominations.

NO PAST LIVES IN SCORE?!? yuckkkkkkk. Christoper Bear & Daniel Rossen crushed that shit

Assuming it gets nominated, I think POOR THINGS is your Best VFX winner. This category usually favors Best Picture nominees or films that came close to getting it (including pre-release Oscar buzz).

I’ll be proper pissed if Dial of Destiny gets into score over Boy and the Heron, Zone of Interest and Spider Verse

Poor Things is the only Best Picture contender in vfx and they almost ALWAYS nominate something from BP in vfx. It's 100% getting in

Definitely rooting for Godzilla to make it in

Thank God Peaches isn’t there, honestly.

Can't get over how much you look alike now with the same haircut. Looking almost like identical twins.

Camp isn't home from Theater Camp SNUBBED

No past lives in score is wild

imagine how emotionally intense the performance would be if KOTFM is nominated for original song

I thought The Holdovers score was nom-worthy for sure

I’m so happy that Metro is being considered for an Oscar nomination. I hope to God it happens.

No Barbie in Makeup Category, thats mean Ryan Gosling abs is real bro...!!!💅

i would give best score to spiderverse/oppenheimer. miguel o hara theme alone gets it up there but oppenheimers whole score is so good. i think best makeup and hairstyling i would give, Poor Things, or Priscilla

As far as score goes, there were five I wanted to see nominated, and only one has a chance and that’s Oppenheimer. I thought Godzilla minus one had the best score that I’ve heard this year.

love the layout and editing -

I would be so happy if The Boy and the Heron or Elemental won score. 🎶

The Color Purple is dead. I said on its best day it couldve gotten Picture, Actress, Supporting Actress x2, Supporting actor, makeup, costumes, sound, and song. Globes and critics snubbed songs and now it cant get sound or make up. Colman and Taraji arent making it. That means 2 acting noms? Thats not a BP nominee

About Dry Grasses exclusion... expected but still stings.

They should let Dora and the fantastical creatures be nominated for best animated short film

"Totem" International Feature

No Past Lives in score is absolutely outrageous. This year’s Titane snub, for me

I knew it was a long shot, but I'm disappointed that Demi Lovato's Still Alive from Scream 6 got snubbed.

Makeup was so effed up this year!!! Also no Wish songs

Great vid, hoping that you’re not discrediting the quality of The Wonderful Story Of Henry Sugar and that you are moreso alluding to the fact that Wes Anderson is a high quality filmmaker that deserves to be recognized in “above the line” categories. I think that does discredit short films though which have been better in recent years than several Best Picture nominees even - this year included as the 10th spot could fit nicely into the open 10th slot (something the Academy will, unfortunately, not go for). That said, this is some of the best work he’s ever done. On par with The Grand Budapest Hotel, Fantastic Mr Fox, and, if you liked it as much as I did, Asteroids City. His golden globes speech for winning Best Original Screenplay for TGBH is probably the best Golden Globes speech I’ve seen. I hope he has his moment and his speech will be incredible.

I will never forgive them for not shortlisting Guardians for makeup. It is somewhat made up for by Spiderverse getting VFX, but I'm still not happy.

I think American Symphony is getting nominated for best picture

Shouldn’t Anatomy of a Fall be in the Foreign film shortlist?

I might go ahead and predict The Last Voyage of the Demeter in Makeup. It looks very showy.

Damn they snubbed the peaches song 😢

Op/Barb to sweep the noms for tech and win. Also who predicted Butler winning over Fraser? I’ll avoid their prediction for anything obvious

the guy on right has been working out a bit I think..

no anatomy of a fall in international feature ?!!!???

There can only be two Barbie songs? Sorry Dua Lipa, try again next year I guess? They'd rather have Ryan Gosling strutting his stuff on that stage, right?

I'm sad that Past Lives didn't get into score

5:07 😂😂😂

Jon Batiste is an Oscar winner… definitely can see the American Symphony song making it in

I refuse to not shut up about how Godzilla Minus One absolutely needs to be nominated in Visual Effects... and it also needs to win.

Can we please make a new Oscar category for Best Prosthetics at this point? This Hair & Makeup category is getting ridiculous at this point.

John Williams deserves the nomination for his amazing score, one of the best of the year, and not for being John Williams. I will be concerned if he is not nominated.

Golda is definitely getting nominated for make up!

W no Peaches

Now we need the Oscar Expert to sing us Dear Alien Very good showing for Society of the Snow Brother Bro's shirt is nice. Btw, I think he's working out. No fancy feline but you guys might be at another location. 😿 Does anyone know when the above-the-line shortlist comes out?

Catless

Brother Bro being sexy AF right here!!

I saw The Iron Claw last night and so bummed it’s getting completely overlooked! It should’ve at least gotten on the shortlist for sound because of all the wrestling scenes. It’s done now.

I think this proves that Barbie is next Shape of Water/Everything Everywhere It would be first PG-13 Blockbuster to win since Return of the King

Sad for Wonka they deserved A nomination

How’s Spider-Verse looking for a Best Picture nomination

80 for Brady apparently lol

Am I the only person who thinks Asteroid City and May December needed to be in score?

I'm honestly shocked that "I Am" by Stan Walker from the movie Origin isn't shortlisted. It's worth listening.

Why would Wes Anderson winning an Oscar for Live Action Short Film be a "cop out"? It's a really good short, and if this is the road for Wes Anderson to finally be an Oscar winner, I think it's a good one (I wouldn't say it's the best of his Roald Dahl shorts, but I understand it's the only one that played on a big screen, and is thus the only one eligible). I just listened to the 15 songs shortlisted, which was good, since I needed the reminder regarding the Flora and Son songs (which I was able to place within the film immediately, I forgot how much I liked Meet in the Middle when I first heard it), though most of the rest sounded like a lot of songs that have been nominated in the past (the Asteroid City and Killers of the Flower Moon songs are exceptions... both of those are pretty wild inclusions), and it made me kind of bitter that Camp Isn't Home from Theater Camp missed the shortlist (that would have been a pretty unique nominee). If nominated, this would be John Williams' last nomination (he announced he was retiring after the Indiana Jones score), so I'm not sure they'll be able to resist that nomination, even if it would be a pretty uninspired one.

excited to see your thoughts. also hahahah, been here for less than a year, first time being first ;)

I'm disappointed that the Chilean candidate "The Settlers" isn't on the list for best foreign language film. Excellent movie.

I cant wait for them to be wrong and react as if a bomb were going off

So happy for Oppenheimer and The Zone of interest 🎉

Let's go indeed

I hope they don’t snub Olivia/THG

Voyage of Demeter was Bad, but the makeup was cool. So I wouldn't complain if it got nominated

KOFTM for makeup over Barbie? What is wrong with them?

How does Barbie NOT get hair and Makeup??? Ryan was walking around with platinum for months, and it didn’t look bad.

When are they gonna reveal the other categories?

How is Godzilla minus one not shortlisted for international feature?
