The Oscars will do away with Best Original Song performances starting in 2025

Boo. That’s one of things I watch the show for

Same!  Well to be honest I never watch awards shows but I do like to see the performances from the Oscars and from the Tony's.  Last year's I'm Just A Ken was amazing IMO.

We don't have--or really need--separate threads for the Directors Guild Awards or the Producers Guild Awards, but, as there is some overlap between the voters for those awards and the Academy's voters, it should be noted that Anora's director Sean Baker won the big prize at the DGAs last night. Anora also won the top prize at the PGAs last night. 

There isn't any overlap between the Academy's voting members and those for the Critics Choice Awards, but it's still noteworthy that Anora won Best Picture there on Friday night, too.

It would appear to be a strong frontrunner for BP at the Oscars after this weekend's victories.

Right now, after those three award ceremonies, Anora is the one to beat, it's the undeniable front runner.

I wonder if the AI controversies that have plagued The Brutalist have anything to do with this.

I think it's a combination of the AI controversies and Brady Corbet's public declarations, which have had an unmistakable air of self-aggrandizement.  Also, I liked The Brutalist very much, but it's definitely a movie people might admire but not love.

I liked Anora, but I don't think it's that good.  However, far worse films have won Best Picture, if it indeed wins BP.
