I seem to have gotten 18 right but I imagine with the tie breaks and everything I probably ended up with a lot less than that, expecting Monkey to take this one once again.

yassssss, I'm not even mad I could've gotten so many other correct guesses if I'd gone with my first hunches, I'm so glad Emma Stone won, restored some of my faith in the Academy. Also very ballsy and somewhat unexpected for sound to have gone to Zone of Interest, I'm happy to think they...

I hope so. Likely a hot take, but Lily Gladstone did absolutely nothing for me in the film. Yes she has a presence, but she's barely in the film, and I guess that's sort of the point? While Emma Stone is quite literally there throughout the entire film, and not only that, it's one of those...

If it were up to me, Poor Things would sweep it all, but alas we all know that's not gonna happen so my picks will reflect that. :pwnge tell us about some of your favorite films from last year ~ I think I've come up with my final picks, will submit later. I'm going for more "will probably...

No Oscars thread? :feelsbadman

:cookiestare I was actually surprised at the low number of favorites I ended up with this year, 9 out of 220 total films, almost half of the usual number, maybe I'm getting a bit too critical... I liked "Past Lives", really incredible, especially for a directorial debut, but it was missing...

My favorites from last year: Godland Pacifiction Fast & Feel Love Poor Things Riddle of Fire Perfect Days Riceboy Sleeps Saltburn Inside The Yellow Cocoon Shell I hope Poor Things sweeps but Best Picture feels like it will be a strange and unpredictable race this year.

What would that look like? Would be cool but I wonder if there's enough people for it :feelsbadman Gonna be honest and say exactly what someone else said in the replies: I understand French and I have 0 clue what they're talking about or how they're getting to that conclusion, the words used...

Got 13 but yeah shorts don't count, I had forgotten, that's what it was, yeah!

Not a big deal for me, but I would've been even more disappointed if turns out I got 12 instead of 13, I checked my own marked pics I made and it's 13, but it's entirely possible I might've gone with another pick (by mistake?) on here, no worries.

I know Monkey has said last year that they still want to keep an air of mystery, but I'd be curious to hear more from you in the movies thread, about like some of your favorite films in recent years, others you're looking forward to, obscure recommendations and so on :heh

I thought I got 13, not 12? Unless I'm missing something. Also damn, only 15 for #1? Damn I probably could've made it this year :cookiestare Congrats to the winners of course!

Should be an easy sweep for @George Monkey :)

13 points.

Naturally IRL situations shouldn't really have an "impact" on this sort of stuff, but since his "cancellation" was all industry related, it could be that they also want to give him the Oscar so they can pat themselves on the back ("see, look, he's one of us again"). I agree, watching Tár was...
