I actually wonder if someone like Radio Silence would have any interest in helping revive this project, especially with their connection to SMG. Kind of seems right in their wheelhouse.

Sadly the only one that I think actually doesn’t stand a shot is Ethan Hawke, who IMO gives the best performance. But that’s more on his film being so niche than his performance. The rest are in powerful Best Picture nominees that WILL result in a win between the 4.

My biggest thought bubble about Best Actor this year is that so many people are confident it’s MBJ, or it’s just MBJ v Timmy, when actually I think the vote tallies are probably so even and so close between like 4 of the 5 nominees that anything realistically could squeak out in the end, even Leo.

Cutting Through Rocks (2025) being completely unavailable to watch means I’m not going to have gotten caught up on all the Oscar nominated features before the show this year.

Came so close.

Caught up with one of my very last Oscar nominees to watch KOKUHO tonight.

Of all its mesmerizing crafts (cinematography, COSTUMES, production design), is it a hot take that I actually found it’s nominated-Makeup work to be the least impressive element by a mile?

Kabuki work=solid. Aging work= 😬

Happy to have had an Oscar year where I love any outcome that occurs, but every time β€œSixteen years later, the world has changed very little.” *smash to Dirty Work* hits, I can’t help it. Don’t care if it’s been the default opinion all season. That’s Best Picture right there.

It seems both wrong to bet against at this point and wrong to go all in on. I still think it’s Taylor because the OBAA love seems so overwhelming and Perfidia feels like a β€œwinning role” but Mosaku winning a huge industry award in a film that won SAG Ensemble has me so tempted to switch.

Not enough people talk about how the direct to video Aladdin sequel The Return of Jafar is one of the most profitable films ever made.

Currently two chapters deep into MY UNDESIRABLE FRIENDS PART 1: LAST AIR IN MOSCOW. Had to take a break for now and while it’s been a heavy and patient build, the closer we crawl towards the inevitable, the sense of dread lingering underneath everything is undeniably effective.

Timmy might not win the Oscar on Sunday and there will, guaranteed, be people on the bird app claiming it was because he upset the ballet community.

Heed my warning!! That new McD’s Big Arch burger is one of the most vile things I have ever eaten. Literal wet garbage on two β€œbuns”. Maybe the worst thing that has ever been on their menu. Never had something that wanted to leave my body that quick.

I refuse to believe someone’s name is Markwayne. You’re either Mark, Wayne, or Mark (space) Wayne. It’s madness.

And what if I said I think I’m not predicting Sinners for Picture, but I did switch it for the win in Best Original Song?

The only way Timothee wins now is for a film where he wrestles a bear.
