  3. That time of the year... 

    Do remind me... Who has gone to the same school as Eurovision winner? 

    As for Serbia... Boy, did we take it too seriously this year. The whole selection process was hilariously ludicrous. There were even announcements of protests. But, luckily, it ended with two drunk guys embarrassing themselves.

    And the winner is Teya Dora, best known for her hit "Džanum," which went viral on TikTok in 2023. 

    Her winning song, "Ramonda," draws inspiration from the Natalie's Ramonda flower, an endemic plant with the remarkable ability to sustain life with just a single drop of water. Ramonda has become a symbol of fallen Serbian soldiers in WWI and is worn as a token of remembrance in November, much like the British red poppy flower. The song is about finding light in darkness, surviving even in toughest circumstances, bringing hope.

    The song is absolutely beautiful, blending clear influences from artists like Billie Eilish and Loreen, with the appropriate touch of Serbian spirit. Overall, very proud of her... Wishing her all the best!

    I get the feeling that the new batch of members aren't at all concerned with the whole spread the wealth outlook. Also, where any of this year's nominees as hyped as EEAAO? Because hype can get you additional awards, deserved or otherwise. 

    I've been waiting to write of the BAFTAs as a precursor ever since they announced that the winners are determined by a small select jury. Last year seemed like the start of it and yet somehow they bounced back.

    True. Voting body is significantly different from 10 years ago. They added circa 4-5 thousand members and significantly changed the demographics (IIRC, in 2014. 97% of Academy was white, aged 65+). There is a reason why we call them dinosaurs. 

    Yeah, it seems the old "spread the wealth" doesn't work. That said. it should be noted that 8 out of 10 Best Picture nominees got at least one Oscar. Five movies divided 8 above-the-line categories. We have three foreign-language movies, three movies directed by women in Best Picture ten. Another thing - it's a generational thing. "Oscar movie" as we define it these days was coined during 2000s and 2010s, as well as "Oscar bait". However, we see Oscar bait failing - best example: Maestro. Simply, the new generation, the new Academy and by default - the new Oscar movie. 

    Yeah, OPPENHEIMER didn't win anything they weren't 100% predicted to win. Which means that even love for Oppy had its limits. Oppy wasn't as big as EEAAO in terms of award hype, despite two movies accumulating rather similar tally of awards. 

    As for BAFTA, no precursor, despite its name, serves to tell us who will win the Oscar. That's not their mission, despite public, peers and critics looking at them that way. I would argue that every award-giving body wants to have great overlap with the Oscars as it makes it "the most important". BAFTA was a separate universe last year, but this year it's like they made a point to prove their relevance. That said, it should be noted that Nolan is British, Murphy is Irish, POOR THINGS and THE ZONE OF INTEREST are British movies and ANATOMY OF A FALL is French movie, and those always bode well at BAFTA. So, this year may be that BAFTA members were more connected with movies in contention. We'll see the next one. But BAFTA is known to do its own thing from time to time.

    Who won last year, I wonder? Nothing Christ-like about it. To win, you need to carry your movie, and when you are in less than a third of a film, much of it as a passive figure, you've got a big obstacle to arguing that you are carrying the movie.

    Well, EEAAO is a Second Coming in terms of awards, as it is the most-awarded movie in history. 

    I will argue that Lily is a heart and soul of Killers of the Flower Moon. She may not be in it for the most part, but her scenes, her narrative makes such impression that this movie feels undoubtedly hers. But, that's just my impression of it.

    5 minutes ago, Ran said:

    Above and beyond that, as you allude, Scorsese is repeatedly overlooked -- the Academy takes him for granted. Being the best actress in a Scorsese film is basically already entering with a strong handicap, not counting everything else against you. And then there's the argument from some that there was some category fraud, that she should have gone for Supporting Actress instead... though frankly Da'vine Joy Randolph simply had a meatier role and a better performance, so I wouldn't have expected Gladstone to win there, either. 

    I mean, throughout his career, Scorsese directed five Oscar-winning performances. Three male, two female. Yes, he makes male-centric movies, but he also knows how to direct a female actor into an Oscar winning role. 

    Lily had multiple handicaps, that is undeniable. For the reasons I stated, I don't think she belonged in Supporting Category. When we talk about category fraud, it is moving from more difficult to less difficult field. Like Alicia Vikander did in 2015. You can't claim Lily/the production committed category fraud because she entered the race from a disadvantaged position.

    That's the trouble with these things always, you cannot compensate one "undeserved" win with another in my opinion. It just creates a domino effect. Think of all the creatives who got an award just because they never previously earned one (in this year's Oscars, you had Christopher Nolan and RDJ in that category) and had a passable entry in the competition.

    That is true. However, I wouldn't call either Emma, Lily or even Sandra undeserving, each being absolutely brilliant in their respective movies. The meritocracy argument is a code word for  "that's my favorite performance". And these things are profoundly subjective so we can't speak in exact terms here.

    Career Oscar narratives is the oldest trick in the game. That's how we god Julianne Moore over Rosamund Pike in 2014, Laura Dern, Jamie Lee Curtis and yes... Robert Downey Jr. 

    11 minutes ago, Veltigar said:

    These wins screw other people out of awards that will then at one point will have to screw other people out of awards for their career Oscar. For example Mark Ruffalo and Ryan Gosling have both been nominated several times and are quite popular, chances are they'll shank someone in the coming years who might have been a more deserving winner.

    This year was disastrous in Supporting acting categories. I can easily make two lineups with completely different actors and actresses that would be superior to the ones we got. The one that hurts me the most is Charles Melton, as he managed to be in a movie with Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore, doing all that ACTING, and he managed to steal the show. For me, the best Supporting performance of the year.

    13 minutes ago, Veltigar said:

    I can't comment on the fact that Stone was an undeserved winner on her first turn (I haven't seen many of the other films that had female leads nominated in the year of La La Land), but this year I thought she gave far and away the best performance out of all nominated thespians (including the male performers I might add, if this was a unified category, she would have smoked Cillian Murphy on merit).

    She was against Isabelle Huppert in "Elle" and Natalie Portman in "Jackie". Not mentioning not-nominated Amy Adams for "Arrival".

    Yeah, there is no doubt that one can make "she was the best" across the field, even if we expand it to make performers. Cillian won because he carried our such difficult movie and turned it into a glorious success. But Emma did something far riskier, far unconventional... This was potentially career-ending performance, and she nailed i, beyond any doubt. I am really not saying she is undeserving. Not at all. 

    17 minutes ago, Veltigar said:

    So it's a shame for Gladstone, Killers of the Flower Moon and Native American representation in general, but I can place it because at least she didn't lose to an RDJ-in-Oppenheimer-type of performance.

    True... I mean, I am just sad a bit today... Will be fine tomorrow :D But, yeah... At least Lily didn't lose to something like JLC or RDJ.

  7. Infused myself with some coffee and now I have a break... Time to recapitulate

    So, 17/23. Not great, not terrible. Allowed myself into thinking too much about Academy and how they vote and opted for Spiderverse instead of "The Boy and the Heron". Expected to see some spreading the wealth in Costume, Production and MakeUp and POOR THINGS just swept like they did in BAFTA. And the one that really stings is Sound when I went with OPPENHEIMER instead of rightful winner and probably the most inspiring choice of the night - THE ZONE OF INTEREST. Last mistake was Gladstone over Stone, but that was a tossup.

    So... OPPENHEIMER did a bare minimum. This is not exactly a sweep, given they won 7 Oscars out of 13 nominations. POOR THINGS was obviously second, given Actress + tech combo. OPPENHEIMER didn't win anything it wasn't supposed to win, like Screenplay and Sound, which really shows that even that love had its limits. 

    ANATOMY OF A FALL won big - Original Screenplay. Justine Triet certainly took her vengeance on French Oscar committee - she has won trifecta (movie, directing, screenplay) at European Film Awards, Cesar Awards and won in screenplay categories at both BAFTA and Oscars. This will be one of the greatest embarrassments of French Oscar committee for quite some time.

    Inspiring wins for Miyazaki's "The Boy and the Heron" and Sound for "The Zone of Interest". Probably international bloc had a huge impact here and I am thrilled about it. Despite being wrong in my prediction :D

    It really seems that Academy spread the wealth rater nicely this year, unlike the last year. Eight out of ten nominated movies went with at least one award, with PAST LIVES and MAESTRO going home empty-handed. Huge departure from last year when EEAAO went 6/8 above-the-line and Women Talking winning Adaoted Screenplay. This year, we had 5 movies winning in eight above-the-line categories. Honestly, this year's set of winners - far superior than last year's. 

    And now acting categories... No surprises with Randolph, Downey and Murphy. Not a hater of RDJ, but I think it's good we'll finally stop seeing him for some time. As for Best Lead Actress, can't say Emma was undeserving but this really reinstate the idea that POC actress needs a Second Coming of Christ to win an Oscar in this category. And please spare me the speech of meritocracy as I can easily name 10 white women who undeservedly won, including Emma (her first Oscar). And that is just in the last 15 years. Undoubtedly, Emma is worthy winner, she was absolutely brilliant. And yes, she was rather courageous in doing Bella, so one can't complain here. And I am not, just being sad for Lily, who really had absolutely amazing performance. Never mind me, just licking my wounds... :D Even I know Emma is more than deserving winner. 

    As for ceremony, my god was Kimmel awful. Some of the bits were funny - like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito and Michael Keaton and Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling. Not sure about John Cena. And "I'm Just Ken" was absolutely smashing. That was probably one of the best Oscar performances in recent history. 

    Scorsese went 0 out of 10 for the third time. Truly unbelievable. Another one bites the dust :D 

    And forgot... In terms of relevance for Oscar predicting, BAFTA returned with a vengeance. After going 0 out of 8 in above-the-line categories, this year the overlap between BAFTA and Oscars is almost 100%. I think they only differ in Visual Effects - BAFTA giving it to POOR THINGS, Oscars to GODZILLA MINUS ONE. BAFTA matters people. Never doubt the Brits.

    Venice is far more appealing to English-speaking producers who intend to engage in Oscar race, simply because of the calendar. It is the perfect place to kickstart the Oscar campaign. And the list of winners is usually nominated and even win Oscar in respected categories.

    Cannes is more internationally oriented (not that Venice isn't). Plus it is in May, so it is very hard to keep the momentum. Not that it doesn't happen, it is still one of the biggest, if not the biggest festival in the world.
