Watching The Oscars is an exhausting experience. So many thoughts. Just so many.
But how did I do on my predictions?
In the end…I went 16 for 23.
My Nominations
Who Won: Will Smith – “King Richard”
WE ARE ALL FREAKING OUT BECAUSE WHAT HE IS GOING TO SAY???
It is happening. It is happening.
“”Richard Williams as a fierce defender of his family.” – Will Smith’s First Words of His Acceptance Speech
My Nominations
Who Won: Troy Kotsur – “CODA”
He won and rightfully so. His speech was incredible, and it was so sweet. The story about his father becoming paralyzed and not being able to sign…I mean tears all the way around. His speech is for sure a highlight, if not the major highlight of the night.
My Nominations
Who Won: Jessica Chastain – “The Eyes Of Tammy Faye”
I took my shot with Olivia Coleman winning here in a long shot. Not surprised by the result at all. Chastain campaigned her ass off and build up steam just the right way. Also this is no shots on Chastain because she very very very good in The Eyes Of Tammy Faye.
Who Should Win: Kristen Stewart – “Spencer”
I have flip-flopped on this category a lot as well, and I still can’t land on what I want too. I have struggled with Being The Ricardos in the weeks after I have seen it, and my mind keeps wandering to the silent acting of Spencer. The horror movie performance wrapped in a drama sticks with you like glue.
My Nominations
Who Won: Ariana DeBose – “West Side Story”
Easy money….it all led to this. I hope that Jessie Buckley gets nominated again and soon. Still think she deserved it.
My Nominations
Who Win: “Encanto”
Encanto got a massive ovation when it won. The speech was nice and short.
My Nominations
Who Won: “Dune” – Greig Fraser
When Dune won for best cinematography, you had to begin thinking really seriously about Best Picture.
My Nominations
Who Won: “Cruella” – Jenny Beavan
I dare you to not star at all of outfits of Cruella when you watch it. This movie is a ton of fun and it is worthy of your attention.
My Nominations
Who Won: Jane Campion – “The Power Of The Dog”
Her speech was very prepared…no mistakes this time. With that being said, she absolutely deserved it. 110%.
My Nominations
Who Won: “Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)”
Nobody cares about this award because it came right after Will Smith legit slapped/punched Chris Rock.
My Nominations
Who Won: “The Queen Of Basketball
I am so happy that I was wrong with this!!! The Queen Of Basketball won!!
My Nominations
Who Won: “Dune” – Joe Walker
HAPPY TO BE WRONG AGAIN!!!! DUNE!!!! Taking a surprise!! I personally would have cast my ballet for The Power Of The Dog, but my favorite movie taking home a surprise award is awesome.
My Nominations
What Won: “Drive My Car”
Maybe the locky of all locks.
My Nominations

My Nominations
Who Won: “Dune” – Hans Zimmer
HANSSS. I love his tweet.
My Nominations
Who Won: “No Time To Die” – Billie Eilish, Finneas O’Connell (No Time To Die)

My Nominations
Who Won: “CODA”
WOW. ACUTALLY SHOCKED. THIS IS REMARKABLE. WHAT A CRAZY NIGHT! Apple+ gets the award that so many others dreamed of before them when they started last. Wow oh wow.
My Nominations

My Nominations

My Nominations

All the momentum was building towards this. Happy for CODA. More people should see it.
My Nominations

It was between Belfast and Licorice Pizza and I went with the movie I liked more. Not upset about this winning at all. Happy for Brannagh.

I am really sorry to say that The Mandalorian has turned into Halo for me. Season three has been a slog for me and I am sad to report that it has been over a month since I have watched an episode of Din DJarin and Grogu traversing the universe. And the saddest part? I…
Call me crazy. Call me an idiot. Call me moronic. You can call me whatever you want, but most importantly, call me a Swiftie. Last week John Rich put out this hypothetical tweet out there talking about the price of reselling Taylor Swift tickets. I immediately replied saying that the Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert…
No. 6Scream 3 (2000) Horror movie franchises tend to jump the shark at some point. Scream 3 (2000) pokes fun at this nature…but also falls into the same trap itself. The setting for Scream 3 is right up my alley. It is set on the set of a horror movie. It is on the set…
