Haven't seen King Richard, Nightmare Alley, Belfast or Don't Look Up and not that interested in any of them honestly. I'll probably see them at some point.

 

nightmare alley is maybe the least bit better than shape of water if that means anything

 

I can't think of anything I'd rather do less than rank movies haha

best needle drop would be the best way for the Oscars to be populist

 

Best stunts/stunt work. I’ve seen the work they do firsthand and they deserve more recognition.

 

I really liked The Shape of Water so it does! haha. I also saw some people say it was on par with Crimson Peak though which I hated. Del Toro is so hit or miss for me.

 

seems like in recent years there's been a lot of folks who turned the corner on crimson peak resulting in a higher critical standing of sorts, for what THAT may be worth. have yet to hate anything of his* but there's been a couple i feel like should've been better than how they turned out (pacific rim, easily)

*haven't seen mimic, waiting on director's cut but hbo max for some reason has it listed with the same runtime as theatrical which sounds wrong

 

Yeah a friend and I have talked about wanting there to be an award for best soundtrack / best use of a song that already existed. But then the monkey’s paw is that every year Fortunate Son/For What It’s Worth keeps winning as best reminder that we are now watching a movie set in the 60s

 

stunt work is a good one. best first time director and performance. multiple performances in a year/“best year”

 

also it would be dominated by like Guardians of The Galaxy and Cruella haha

 

Best Opening Credits Sequence

Best Trailer

Casting also seems like one major production role that never gets any direct award. Idk how one would necessarily judge it, but it’s not like that’s ever stopped them for other awards

 

trailer seems like a weird one to me since it’s so studio-driven and we’ve heard time and time again about the director having no clue how the trailer would end up. whereas every currently existing category is still largely under their purview

 

Make an award out of it to let directors push for studios to let them have more of a hand in making them unique and interesting

 

6/8 for me so far

 

Best Sound: Dune
Best Film Editing: Dune
Best Production Design: Dune
Best Original Score: Dune
Best Makeup & Hairstyling: The Eyes of Tammy Faye
Best Animated Short: The Windshield Wipers
Best Documentary Short: The Queen of Basketball
Best Live Action Short: The Long Goodbye

 

Wow Zimmer finally wins after almost 30 years for his like 16th best score. It’s good for the movie but nothing near as monumental as Inception, Interstellar, Batman etc. but I guess that’s just how these award shows go.

 

Here we go

 

people are just besides themselves he invented an instrument. greenwood should have won.

 

This is a good intro

 

would be a lot better without amy

 

They didn’t bleep that?
