No Nickel Boys (which must be complete toast if it couldn’t even get in here) and this must be the first slate I’ve seen without Emilia Perez

God, in CINEMATOGRAPHY especially. This movie looks like a Capital One commercial. Here's a good example: not only does the song look like it's being filmed during nuclear testing, the interview portion of the clip is more saturated than the actual number!

I almost never fall asleep at screenings (and never before at a matinee), but I conked out for at least a reel and a half at this. TBF, it was at an iPic, and I had a blanket covering my outstretched legs on a premium leather recliner, but I just couldn’t do it with Wicked

I HATED the stage musical, too, which I saw at the Pantages at least 12 years ago

Love Lies Bleeding received one BAFTA nom. I'm glad to see it get something from a major awards organization.

I'd be up for predicting the winners, maybe the nominees.

Maybe Nickel Boys is considered too gimmicky or experimental—it’s debatable whether the conceptually in-your-face camerawork is a wholly effective choice—but whether technically or creatively, it’s crazy for it to not make nominations for cinematography… What else here even comes close?

The way I see it, if enough people want to post their predix (like usual) we can just count them towards the total (easy system - one point for every correct nominee). If folks don't want to do that this year, we can just focus on the ceremony.

And Grand Wazoo still needs to pick a movie for us to watch!

Just came in here to say I'm Still Here (and to a lesser degree Nickel Boys) in Best Picture are big surprises, along with the screenplay and that's it nom for September 5 and Mangold repeating the DGA nom here (thought for sure they'd go for Berger since the Academy loved his last film so much). Sing Sing of course, as expected, was DOA

I was personally predicting September 5 in Original Screenplay, mainly cause, out of all the films for that final spot, it had the most Best Picture heat.

I mean, it had three nominations, so I'm surprised that support didn't translate over something like Nickel Boys.

Domingo was always going to get in, but it was also widely tipped for Best Supporting Actor, which didn't materialize. Surprised A Real Pain didn't make it into Best Picture either, and obviously I was a Stan doubter (and he got in for the film I wouldn't have predicted even if I was predicting him)

Not quite on topic, but I was just looking at Walter Salles' wiki page and was suprised to learn that he's the
third wealthiest filmmaker (after Spielberg and Lucas!) with an estimated 4.2 billion.

Not a judgement on the film at all because I obviously haven't seen it, but I feel like the whole drama behind it not having American distribution is part of why it was nominated.

Looking at GoldDerby, Dune missing in Editing and Costumes were another pair of big upsets, it was ranked first and second, respectively, in the lead-up predictions for those categories. Also missing: the song from the Wild Robot was second most likely in that category, A Bear Named Wojtek was number one in animated shorts and Once Upon a Time in Ukraine was number one in documentary shorts but both missed, and live action short was completely a mess with only two of the proposed top five making it. These are always hard categories to predict because most voters are just voting for the titles that sound good...

Do you think that since the third Dune has been announced, the Academy will wait (aside from some technical awards) for the third film, ala Lord of the Rings?

This is obviously from a UK perspective, but the Best Picture list bears out my feeling that there are more high-profile notably adult non-horror films coming out over the last couple of years. So far this century, just seven films with UK 18 certificates have been nominated for Best Picture: three directed by Martin Scorsese, three by Quentin Tarantino and Poor Things. Now we have at least three more: Anora, The Brutalist and The Substance, the last-named of course being a horror film. (I'm Still Here hasn't been passed by the BBFC yet, but as it's a US PG-13 I don't think it will be a fourth.) In fact, the last time there were more than one 18-rated Best Picture nominee was 1999 when American Beauty won and The Green Mile was nominated. This sort of thing was much more common in the 1970s, when the adults-only certificate was the X. In 1978, The Deer Hunter won and Coming Home, Midnight Express and An Unmarried Woman were nominated, and the only family-friendly nominee was Heaven Can Wait.

It's certainly the vibe that went around the industry the last couple months. Opening in the early part of the year rather than late in the year like the first (and upcoming third) film also hurt it down the stretch. Dune Messiah is not the most uplifting story by comparison to Return of the King, so it'll be interesting to see what happens in ~2 years.

Sidebar: The Apprentice is a fantastic film, one of the best of 2024 in my opinion, and it's largely owed to the two performances at the top of the poster. Trump fatigue is a very real thing, but if you are reading this - consider how unlikely I thought it'd be for it to be remotely tolerable to watch in this climate, and that it completely won me over. I think about Jeremy Strong's final scene all the time. A++ acting showcase even if the rest doesn't do it for you.

This is the better choice of the two Stan pictures (the other I absolutely detested), and I wondered why Jeremy Strong wasn't shortlisted elsewhere, but I'm delighted to see them both here.

I still have a lot of admiration for Abbasi's Border, though I went into The Apprentice on a whim - it's worth the time, even if it appeared in theaters at the height of Decision 2024 malaise (& would make for a great a double bill with Penn And Teller Get Killed).

As for Strong, he's absolutely peerless when it comes to Limo ActingTM, bless up.
