I've seen a grand total of ONE nominated film but that ONE film demonstrates that category fraud is still alive and well.

Kieran Culkin is no way a supporting actor in his film. He's on screen in virtually every single scene. 

You're ahead of me -- I've send 1/2 of ONE of the nominated films -- Conclave.  It's good but so slow -- working on finishing it.

Very happy for Demi Moore and The Substance. Even Nosferatu got a cinematography nomination. Nice day for Horror fans.  

I have no interest in seeing Emilia Perez. The few clips I have seen I do not understand the love.  

Happy for Wicked and Anora as well since I actually saw those movies and liked them. I went to check out A Royal Pain but I can't stand Jesse Eisenberg.

Hello fellow Jesse Eisenberg hater! This film won't endear you to him. I basically watched it to see what the fuss was. I'm not opposed to the screenplay nomination but he does nothing for me as an actor. Too much association with Fuckerberg for me. 

The good news is that it is barely 90 minutes long.

Haha yes, let's rejoice in the hate lol. 90 minutes is not too bad thanks for the info.

Same with Zoe Saldana, she's in Emilia Perez more than KSG.  I don't know anyone who saw Wicked that would qualify AG's part as supporting and not lead.

Category fraud is nothing new unfortunately. 

So true, three years in a row the best supporting Oscar went to three actors in a leading role (Mahershala Ali in Green Book, Brad Pitt in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood and Daniel Kaluuya in Judas and The Black Messiah).  I feel bad for the veteran actors, character actors and newbies who got screwed out of a nomination because of studio strategizing.

The press behind Emilia Perez is so toxic that I do wonder if it will win anything.  Zoe Saldana was the frontrunner but Grande or Jones could get late momentum.  Best Actress seems to be a toss up between Demi Moore and Fernanda Torres.  As far as Adrien Brody goes I know he won the globe but Oscar seems to have a hard on for Chalamet that I think he's taking it.  I'm still hoping Ralph Fiennes gets his long overdue accolades.

Ralph Fiennes is my dark horse pick as well.

Oprah Winfrey, Selena Gomez, Ben Stiller, Willem Dafoe, Goldie Hawn, Sterling K. Brown, Joe Alwyn, Lily-Rose Depp, Ana de Armas and Connie Nielsen are set to take the stage as presenters during the 97th Oscars, per executive producer and showrunner Raj Kapoor and executive producer Katy Mullan who confirmed Wednesday.

Also booking a high-profile gig for the telecast is Nick Offerman, who will serve as the announcer. The versatile Emmy Award-winning performer will be making his first appearance at the Academy Awards, though he’s attended one of the night’s most coveted afterparties at Vanity Fair several times with wife Megan Mullally. Offerman follows in the footsteps of David Alan Grier, who served as the “voice of God” for the 2024 Oscar telecast.
