00:00:15
Speaker
Ryan Coogler, Amy Madigan, Michael B. Jordan, Lost in the Frame. These are just some of the winners from last night's Oscars.
00:00:27
Speaker
And today, Lost in the Frame is here in person to recap how they felt about the night. So welcome back to the show. I'm your host, Malik. I'm your host, Sachi. And I'm your host, Alex.
00:00:38
Speaker
The 98th Academy Awards have ended. Awards season is over. Yep. Kind of a brutal one, I think, in the last couple months. lot of discourse going around.
00:00:49
Speaker
Kind of exhausting. they There were some moments. There were some moments. There were a lot of moments. But, I mean, ultimately, i'm I think I'm happy with how it last night went.
Oscar Predictions and Surprises
00:01:02
Speaker
remember you screaming at a couple times. I did scream a couple times. But, overall, you know, how do you guys feel after after the Oscars?
00:01:15
Speaker
I feel like I don't know anything. I feel really uninformed. How do you... be Okay, so we obviously made our own picks to see who would who was the most accurate by the end of the night. We'll disclose those results at some point. But, I mean, how do you... Dachi, how do you feel like just after seeing the winners? Like, are you overall like happy with it or...
00:01:39
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, the results themselves are fine. ah for the most part, I think there were a lot of clear winners that I should have anticipated that I just didn't for some reason.
00:01:52
Speaker
um I think there were a couple surprises, like genuine surprises. Yeah. Like um Amy Madigan, but we'll get to that. um Yeah, I don't know. i think I have some self-reflection store.
00:02:07
Speaker
Yeah. Self-reflection. That's the word. What about you, Alex? i feel when leg go i feel mostly good. i feel left out of one, and I'm utterly perplexed by one.
00:02:24
Speaker
Which is, feel like part of the course. Yeah. I think it keeps it interesting, you know? Like, i don't ever want to, like, 100% know everything that's going to happen. Like, I don't want the site with that. Like, I want to be surprised. I want, like, the upsets. I think that's, like, what makes it fun.
00:02:41
Speaker
But... There were a lot of surprises for me. I do wish that there were crazy upsets. Like, one year, I think we're going to get one that's so left field. Coda winning best picture.
00:02:55
Speaker
I wasn't that plugged in then, so... The Will Smith slap. I keep watching the clip and how crazy it actually was. richard The whole lead up to it, but also the three minutes after Will Smith exits the stage and Chris Rock has to continue with the show.
Oscars Hosting Debates
00:03:15
Speaker
He's about to introduce the documentary feature and he's just so out of it. He's like, and he has he tries to tell a joke that just doesn't land. And he's like, and we're here to, uh,
00:03:26
Speaker
um doing the feature of document documentary. feature You know what? Just show the nominees. Like, he's so just frazzled. It's insane.
00:03:38
Speaker
I think they should give him another shot. Like, he kind of got his completely ruined. Yeah. But I like Conan. I love Conan. He's not bad. Yeah, i' I'm pretty happy with him.
00:03:53
Speaker
I'm a big Conan head. think he's better than Jimmy Kimmel. Touchy or a cone head. Yeah, I'm a cone head. I grew up watching him. I like Conan. They made the bit the joke at the end that he can be host for life.
00:04:08
Speaker
I'm down. I'm also down. He's dead now. Didn't you watch the clip? Now we get Mr. Beast. Yeah, Mr. Beast going host. That's my worst nightmare.
00:04:20
Speaker
Does he do the face? Yeah. yeah He's so, like Mr. Reese is so, um he's something. I don't know what he is, but like his face, like he just has, he can't like convey emotion properly.
00:04:34
Speaker
Like I like watching beast games, but like whenever something kind of serious happens or a sad moment happens, his face just doesn't emote. And he's always, he he always kind of has
Animated Films and Oscar Trends
00:04:44
Speaker
like a half smile. He's like, oh man, I can't believe you did that.
00:04:47
Speaker
i think he's always just trying to pose for a thumbnail. And then, and they're never good. But he's insanely rich, so at the end of the day, who cares? money is something right yeah Money buys happiness.
00:05:00
Speaker
That's they say. It's um thousand percent true. All right, the opening. Conan running through the multiple movies. I really enjoyed it. Thought that that was very well done. Great way to open the show.
00:05:12
Speaker
For sure.
00:05:15
Speaker
Best actress. Let's just dive right into it.
00:05:19
Speaker
Amy Madigan. really ripping through these. i mean, we got a lot to get through, so I think we'll be okay. um Actress in a supporting role. Went to Amy Madigan.
00:05:30
Speaker
Thoughts, feelings, are you upset, confused, or hurt? I'm not confused or hurt. I'm really happy for her. Let's preface it this way. Everything I say, the end of the day, I'm very happy for this person. i don't have any problem with them or their performance.
00:05:48
Speaker
a I thought it was Teyana's to lose. Same. Me too. Like, it just didn't, I don't know. Like, I think it's cool they gave a role like that in Oscar. I'll i'll say that.
00:06:02
Speaker
It was really cool they gave role like that in Oscar because it kind of widens the scope a little bit like what can be done. And I am really, really happy to see an actress role not go to like a punching bag, like an emotional punching bag. hmm.
00:06:21
Speaker
except for the end there where she was like a real like an actual punching bag um but i i because i do think that the oscars for a while was like typecasting the kind of awards that actresses could win into like very like sad like melancholy roles i'm just basing that purely off vibes like yeah no data to support it i'm just ripping it from the dome I'm sure there's some data to support that a little bit.
Horror Genre Recognition at the Oscars
00:06:48
Speaker
Like it just, it just feels like it's like, oh, she's crying. That was electric performance. Like, yeah okay, you know, we can, they can do other stuff. Like they can do other stuff. So I was happy to see Amy win in that regard.
00:07:01
Speaker
It does feel like a very different performance to reward. And I think for that, um I'm happy with it. After we first watched Weapons, like if you would have told me, like hey, she's going to get an Oscar nomination from this, I don't think I would have believed you.
00:07:14
Speaker
um But I'm not upset by it. And I did choose her. I had her um as my choice. Did you guys have anyone else as your choice that you thought might have taken it? had Teyana. Oh, you did have Teyana. Okay. Yeah. Hachi?
00:07:27
Speaker
Yeah. Uh, I mean, two of the five were from a movie I didn't see, so I couldn't really weigh those options really heavily. i didn't think, you know, not to take anything against Win Me, but, um, I don't know if I would have ever picked her Agreed.
00:07:46
Speaker
But it is nice to see more, um, more of the horror genre starts to sink its claws into Academy Awards. Yeah. I mean, slowly and slowly.
00:07:57
Speaker
Yeah. If we, I'm sure some people might consider Frankenstein quote unquote horror, but like if we are three horror movies getting not just nominated, but awarded throughout the night, Frankenstein weapons and sinners, I'm,
00:08:12
Speaker
Very cool to see. It was almost a Frankenstein sweep. If yeah Jacob already won. The Franken sweep. That's what they're calling it. yeah um All right. Animated short film and animated feature film. We can quickly go over short film because I don't think we saw them.
00:08:29
Speaker
I think it was just a free guess. Nope. well None of us got it right. No. Yeah. None of us got it right. I picked a butterfly. also picked butterfly. Okay. Tasha, you.
00:08:40
Speaker
I picked, was it Three Sisters? yeah You did pick Three Sisters, yeah. And it went to The Girl Who Cried Pearls. Which looks pretty good.
00:08:52
Speaker
It did. Small clip that we got. Yeah, so definitely want to check these out. um Animated feature film. Winner. K-pop Demon Hunters. Yeah.
00:09:05
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know. Tell us your pick first. I loved K-pop. But I just thought Pixar was just going to take it again. Is Zootopia Pixar?
00:09:17
Speaker
Is it? No. no Elio is Pixar. Yeah. Is that why you picked Zootopia 2? Kind of. And just based on box office numbers. Sequels never win though.
00:09:28
Speaker
True. Because remember Across the Spider-Verse lost to ah Boy in the Heron. her I see. Well, yeah, I don't know. I should have gone K-pop, but.
00:09:41
Speaker
I thought I was going with um what was most expected. Disney's not a bad bet, like, his numbers-wise. Not a bad bet at all.
00:09:53
Speaker
But I do feel like K-pop was just... There's a few categories of the night that were, at least I thought, were just, like, absolute locks. Just, like, that's a free point. This was one of them for me.
00:10:04
Speaker
Yeah. It was a moment. Um, after we got those two, who were, did, and did we have any notable, um, presenters at this point?
00:10:18
Speaker
Channing Tatum, Will Arnett. That's right. They were funny. Channing Tatum was so funny. Channing Tatum saved it. Yeah. We'll, we'll talk about a few of the other presenters as we get to them, but like these presenter jokes just really hurt sometimes. There was one that was atrocious.
00:10:38
Speaker
There's, yeah, there's a couple. Like, there's one that I can think of the top of my head, and it was, like, at least a little bit meta, but the whole, I'm like, this isn't even funny. Yeah. I think, which, I'm kind of jumping ahead, but...
00:10:54
Speaker
The fact that they cut people's speeches off, but we have to endure however many minutes of these bad jokes. I think the world is in agreeance. Let's cut those and just give people the time that they need to make their speeches after winning.
00:11:11
Speaker
So like the Anne Hathaway one, I thought that was pretty funny because it was short and it was, you know, on par with the the performance. But I don't even remember which it was in front of where it was the the the bridesmaids.
00:11:27
Speaker
Yeah, Brian Jermaine was doing score and sound. That was it, score and sound. And they it was like 10-minute joke. Yeah. And none of it, would the only funny bit was when they cut to the actors yeah of whoever they were like targeting with the joke.
00:11:46
Speaker
Did not need to be that long. No. Agreed. And I think the show ended like 15 minutes early, too. From like the schedule. Which is nuts because the most the craziest thing I've seen in minute on this show happens and it was like to save time.
00:12:00
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. we'll We'll get to it. After the animated feature and animated short was the live performance of I Lie to You by Miles Caton and other cast of Sinners. What would you guys think of it? It was sick.
00:12:13
Speaker
It was really cool. It was awesome. Jack O'Connell kind of stole it with that one little throw. He didn't steal it, like obviously, but it was like... It was so memorable just seeing him like.
00:12:24
Speaker
Yeah. Like walking. And he was in the shot for five seconds. I know. We love Jack. I love him so much. Man, we needed to see him on that stage. i for yeah ah we skip I think it's coming.
00:12:37
Speaker
Yeah. We skipped some movie news, but I saw that Jack O'Connell's in the new a Quiet Place that is now in development. That's. One of the movies of all time.
00:12:49
Speaker
One of the series of all time. What's crazy is like the concept of A Quiet Place. I think I feel like it's overdone at this point. But the movies that have come out, I really have really enjoyed that. A Quiet Place day one.
00:13:01
Speaker
I was not really looking forward to that. i was like, they're literally milking it. But I watched it and I was like, genuinely surprised. Pretty good. Yeah, I did. I didn't see that one. that It's pretty good. like Pretty good.
00:13:13
Speaker
no I have a question. Yes, sir. Jack O'Connell. Okay. Do you think Amy Madigan getting nominated and winning means we might have a Sir Jimmy Crystal nomination for Bone Temple?
00:13:31
Speaker
No. I'd be surprised with the slate of movies that we have this year. okay with the slate of movies, what about the slate of supporting characters?
00:13:42
Speaker
I... unfortunately think it's going to I don't even think I know it's going to be forgotten at least by the Academy like I enjoyed 28 years later the first one a bit more than the Bone Temple 20 years later was completely not talked about at this year's Academy Awards I don't see a world in which the Bone Temple gets any type of recognition from the Academy how's that how's that I could see it going to Ralph Fiennes
00:14:14
Speaker
even then, i would love that. But even then, is that even supporting? That might be lead. Ray Fiennes is lead yeah for Bone Temple, and then Jack O'Connor would be supporting. But i just I can't see it happening. We can start their campaign right now. It's March.
00:14:28
Speaker
We can start early. I think we should post some graphics. We should. We'll get our voices heard. Yeah. All right. We do have a graphics department, so we can we can pass it to them.
00:14:40
Speaker
Costume design. Went to Kate Hawley for Frankenstein. Fair. Fair. A lot of these, I'm just going like, ah, that's fair. Yeah. Did you guys pick anything else for this one?
00:14:52
Speaker
No, I think I did. I think I did. Let me see. I think I put ah Marty. Let me see. Okay, wait. Can we just say real quick how many we got right out of 24?
00:15:07
Speaker
Sure. I got 18 out of 24. Alex?
00:15:11
Speaker
alex ah i don't remember. was like 15, 16. I think you got like 16. I got eight. Not 18. 80 right out.
00:15:26
Speaker
All right. Yeah, costume for Frankenstein. Pretty easy. I think we all knew. Most of us. I did put Marty. That I see it.
00:15:38
Speaker
Makeup and hair styling. Also went to Frankenstein.
00:15:43
Speaker
I don't know why I didn't pick it. I picked Kokuho or whatever it was. I want to watch that one. It looked cool. It looked like a good pick. It did. because Sometimes when they nominate those like random one-offs, it's like, oh, that could do it. Godzilla minus one. Not that that was a random one-off because that was my favorite movie of that year. but yeah um It just was like the only thing it got nominated for and it won.
00:16:09
Speaker
I think the random runoff on this one would have been either that or the ugly stepsister. Like heard that's just like a B horror movie that got nominated. I didn't even hear of it until honestly, like, and I had read the nominations a couple times before the show. Obviously it didn't even register as like a movie to me until they played the bit from it. And I was like, Oh, it exists.
00:16:35
Speaker
Like, yeah, that's the thing. It's a seat filler. Honestly, i I think I like the Sinner's makeup more than Frankenstein.
00:16:46
Speaker
but I should think it yeah it's a little bit more like low-key, I feel. Like Frankenstein just feels like the like the most makeup, like the the loudest one, you know? all Sinners does have its moments. I get what you mean, though. I like makeup Sinner's makeup. Half of the Sinner's makeup is like in the dark you can barely see it. It dark, yeah.
00:17:05
Speaker
That's fair. But it also, like, that's also the point of it. Like, it looks really good. Like, the the first big dude who gets, like, half of his face bitten off. Cornbread. Yeah, cornbread, and it's kind of just, like, pouring out.
00:17:18
Speaker
Like, in the dark, like, you can clearly see what it looks like, and it looks painful. Gnarly. It's insane. Yeah.
00:17:27
Speaker
All right. i a corn bread first ah First year with the casting award. And this one went to one battle after another. this is learned Well deserved.
00:17:39
Speaker
I think I put sinners. Sinners also would have been well deserved. But I think one battle. Because they're so similar right. Yeah. You have.
00:17:52
Speaker
Two movies that have such a deep cast. Like both are really really deep. And both feature like a complete no one. getting like star treatment.
00:18:05
Speaker
Yep. And both feature like great performances by legacy actors and, you know, good villains, very memorable villains.
00:18:20
Speaker
It's close. I think one battle, why i ended up picking one battle was i think there were just more of the Like, especially in, like, the... Among, like, the the weeds and stuff, those performances, I think, were a lot better than Sinners.
00:18:39
Speaker
Like, the the um interrogator guy in one battle. Like, pulled some actual, like, an army interrogator in...
00:18:51
Speaker
And they have him be like a very memorable character. Whereas Sinner's like, they lost it in like um ah from the bench players. Sinner's starting lineup was great. The bench players, like it didn't come through. Yeah. One battle went deep.
00:19:05
Speaker
I picked Marty. I don't know if you guys want to start some of the Marty discussion. Let's do it because this is also a super deserving one. Yeah, I felt pretty good about it. But then as the award show kept going on, I was like, oh man, is Marty Supreme really going to get blanked? like It's just not getting any any accolades, any respect.
00:19:28
Speaker
And...
00:19:33
Speaker
yeah, that's just what happened. I don't know if it's due to the scandals with the Safdies and Timothy, um, the last couple of weeks and months, but, Yeah, just way less hype on Marty than I thought.
00:19:48
Speaker
Lumping in Timothy's scandal with the Safi thing is insane. I know, I know. I know what you mean, though. I know, I do too, but the fact that they're both... like These are both scandals that could have brought down the movie, and one of them is like sexual assault, and the other one is...
00:20:05
Speaker
Literally just an opinion. Just being disrespectful. and Not even like not even like an opinion that has like political weight. like It's not like a racist thing or anything. It's just like, not a big fan opera and the ballet. like He's like, that's not what I want to do.
00:20:20
Speaker
It's the most doing it non... like consequential opinion ever. And it was blown up so much. It was, it was too much. Like, could he have worded his ideas a little bit differently?
00:20:34
Speaker
Yes. But the fact that we were having this discussion for like two weeks and we're just getting all the bits about it in like in the actual like Oscar show, it's just, it's just exhausting. That's, that's like the worst part of the internet is these,
00:20:51
Speaker
bad smear campaigns where I'm just like, you guys aren't even trying. I will say there was that offhand comment he made about losing the 14 cents in viewership. And yeah, I do agree that is it is kind of messed up to, i guess, equate your, your fans or viewers as pennies.
00:21:11
Speaker
But um yeah, I did not think
00:21:18
Speaker
that it was going to hold that much weight yeah for the votes. But here we go. there There's been some big blanks this decade, and this is going right up there with him. had Banshees of Inishirin, zero. And then I think Killers of Flower Moon was zero as well. Tar also had zero.
00:21:36
Speaker
Tar was zero. And Tar and and Killers, I both thought, best actress locked up. Insane movies. Yeah. Yeah. um I felt I had for this pod, Marty Supreme rated the lowest and I still had them for at least one or two categories. So was, I am shocked that it got completely blanked, but we'll get to those ones. um can't wait for like three years when you're like, Marty Supreme was the biggest Rob in that Oscar field. Yeah. I have no idea what I was thinking. You never know.
00:22:15
Speaker
You never know. ah Best live action short. This was presented by Kumail Nanjiani. He's a good time. He's funny. m ah This was a historical tie. The seventh time in history that there was a tie in the 98 years of the Oscars. And it went to and it was the live action shorts.
00:22:35
Speaker
That's actually kind of insane. It went to the singers and two people exchanging saliva. I can't believe that they don't have like a runoff process.
00:22:47
Speaker
So, I mean, I think they, the only runoff process they have with that, which I i don't even know if there would actually be a runoff process, but that's like best picture is calculated differently than all of the other categories.
00:23:01
Speaker
Like besides the best picture, it's just for all the other categories. It's whoever has the most votes wins, but best picture is the only category that doesn't do exactly that. Who, I mean, and who, how many people didn't watch these and then just both randomly picked?
00:23:16
Speaker
What did that's, I think that's what makes it even crazier. Is this the year that they they mandated that all the Academy members have to watch everything? Yeah. what did next it was It was this year that they made that change.
00:23:31
Speaker
um You can still get around it, but like the blocks that they have in place, would kind of it's kind of meant to like guilt trip them if they're not. So it looked like from some of the anonymous ballots that came out is because of that, that some people just skipped voting that category altogether.
00:23:47
Speaker
Which, I mean, is not ideal, but I think that's better than just... throwing a dart at a wall as an academy. Like we can do it. Like our votes are inconsequential. Right. But, um, I wanted to shout out the six other times that there was a tie in the Academy's history in 1931.
00:24:06
Speaker
Frederick March for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Wallace Beery for the champ in the actor category. They both tied. 1949, there is a tie in documentary, short documentary for a chance to live in so much for so little.
00:24:20
Speaker
In 1968, best actress, Catherine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand tied. I think that's the big one. What were the movies? Catherine Hepburn in the lion The Lion in Winter and then Barbra Streisand in the Funny Girl.
00:24:36
Speaker
Just a straight tie. 1986 for a documentary feature, Artie Shaw, Time is All You've Got, Down and Out in America. Short film, live action, Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life and Trevor.
00:24:49
Speaker
That was 1994. And then in 2012, there was a tie for sound editing between Skyfall and Zero Dark Thirty. Good movies. Yeah. zero dark theory did have crazy sound editing i remember that they tied that's so crazy like what are the like what are the odds i love how uh uh kumail had to clarify like four times that he wasn't joking i'm not i'm not i promise i'm not joking there's literally a tie He handled it very well. His joke saying it's ironic that the category for short film is going to take double the time yeah for the things.
00:25:32
Speaker
didn't they and Didn't they start to... Is this the one where they pulled the mic down during the speech? I think it was. Yeah, so this was the first of the really egregious cutoffs.
00:25:46
Speaker
And in this one, which is crazy, because again, like they had to double it and give both people equal time. The dude for the singers yapped. He yapped. And so the the two people exchanging saliva crowd comes up and they do the craziest bait and switch during their acceptance speech by saying, you know, the actress is from Iran. And then they like, then she's like, they can't be here tonight.
00:26:09
Speaker
Then they like pause for like five seconds and they're like, shit, a baby. And it's like, that was actually insane. I'm like, are you kidding me? Like for a second, like my hand literally went to my mouth. i was like, oh,
00:26:20
Speaker
Yeah, I'm like, is she trapped in Tehran or something? like She had a baby. She's doing great. Yeah.
00:26:29
Speaker
um But yeah I think that was the first case of them lowering the mic on someone. But yeah, like the mic drops. so For those of who didn't watch, the mic drops into the stage. It goes quiet and dark. It cuts to Conan.
00:26:41
Speaker
He's just standing there and he's like, He like throws up his hands and it cuts back and the mic comes back and they let him finish. It's good for Conan because he just stood there like staring at them on the stage. That way they were like basically forced to go back to them, like give them their time back.
00:26:58
Speaker
right and like Amy Madigan with her speech like lovely lady and everything, she went on for a good minute. That had to be maybe getting to three minutes. But like these below the line awards or like these like international awards, like that's when they're doing it.
00:27:15
Speaker
And it's just such a bad look and just gives such ah an icky feeling. Well, especially when you let Adrian Brody go for five minutes last year. Yeah. Although I think they tried a couple, if I remember correctly, they tried a couple times to stop it.
00:27:29
Speaker
They did. And he just kept going. He literally said, cut the music. This is not my first rodeo.
00:27:36
Speaker
I was like, honestly, you know what? A year removed. He's him for doing that. That's so sick. He's a hyper-periodist statement. I'm read the whole thing. He was saying a whole bunch of nothing, though. It was absolute just it made no sense. But you know what?
00:27:54
Speaker
it was still like an alpha move. He's the worst person to get like cornered at a party with. Just in conversational. Yeah.
00:28:04
Speaker
All right, ah best actor in a supporting role. This one was presented by Kieran Culkin, which I felt really bad for. Here's why.
00:28:15
Speaker
Before the carpet, he was talking. I think he was saying that he was like kind of nervous to do a presentation. He was having a conversation with someone like like weeks ago. And they made him feel better about it by telling him like that it's like a privilege to get to like hand off the award that you got to someone else. And it's like it's just like ah an exchange of like rights. And it's just like an honor to do that.
00:28:36
Speaker
And he said it made him excited to do it. And then it went to Sean Penn and he was not there, so he did not get the chance to participate in that ah tradition.
00:28:48
Speaker
That is ah pretty big bummer. have to hear him. and Where was Sean Penn?
00:28:55
Speaker
Do you know where Sean Penn was? I do know where Sean Penn was. Where was he? it was in the Ukraine. What exactly was he doing? He was in Ukraine. It's not the Ukraine.
00:29:07
Speaker
kennodi was doing Ukraine's a country, not a territory. um He was in Ukraine. He was meeting with the president of Ukraine, Zelensky. huh Zelensky tweeted about it today, a him a picture of him and Sean Penn.
00:29:22
Speaker
What I want to know is, during that meeting, do you think Sean Penn asked Zelensky if he liked black girls? He liked black chicks. He liked black girls.
00:29:35
Speaker
um let's The other nominees in this category were Benicio Del Toro for One Battle, Jacob Lorty for Frankenstein, Delray Lindo for Sinners, and Stellan Skarsgård for Sentimental Value.
00:29:46
Speaker
Tachi, you were saying you had picked someone in this category, but maybe you wish you picked someone else. Tell us about it. Yeah, I picked Stellan as sort of like the the Legacy Award for this year.
00:30:00
Speaker
Uh, however, i just rewatched centers two days ago now. And I really wanted to switch my, my pick to Delroy, but I was already locked into Stellan just cause I felt conviction about that.
00:30:12
Speaker
It doesn't matter cause I got both wrong, but i just want to give my respects to, uh, to Delroy. He was great. i to me, it was just, I couldn't see anyone other than Sean Penn. I think Sean Penn was my second favorite performance this year.
00:30:28
Speaker
Total. What's up there? He was just so like Anton Chigger levels of captivating the screen. But you're instead of being like this cold hearted killer, you're. ah Captain Goofy pants, a blue shirt.
00:30:48
Speaker
Yeah, I think this was another category where I felt like Sean Penn was was a lock. I think it was 90% on this one. I did see a world where it could have been either Delroy or Stellan.
00:30:59
Speaker
So I don't think you were wrong with either of those choices, Tachi. I do think this category was a little bit flexible. Thank you. As much as and as much as I love Benicio, I never quite understood the awards hype for that role.
00:31:15
Speaker
That's what I was saying. I think Kaji was saying the same thing. Yeah. I never understood. it Like, he had some very quotable lines. He was very, like, heartwarming character in a very, like, kind of cruel movie.
00:31:32
Speaker
i just, i the performance I thought was, like, it was obviously a very good performance, but it wasn't, like, Gotta award that bad boy. Especially when Sean Penn's on the screen doing the funny walk.
00:31:45
Speaker
But this is our first bit of Twitter drama that I saw that I want to bring into this. Okay. please Do you have any thoughts at all about Delroy Lindo not clapping when they announced the ah the winner?
00:32:03
Speaker
Because he just sat there. and He went, Just chilling the whole time. Any thoughts at all? Because I'll tell you my thoughts after. I'm not too familiar with Sean Penn's past. I know a couple of things. He's got rough... There's some in there. I know that, yeah.
00:32:25
Speaker
And so... For that that, he doesn't need to he doesn't need to clap. like If it was anyone else, like if it was Jacob Elordi that went up there and Delroy did the same thing, that seems petty.
00:32:40
Speaker
But with Sean Penn, it feels like it feels like a statement and a valid one at that. And Sean wasn't even there, so...
00:32:52
Speaker
you know, is it really a big deal? and It could be that too. Like it's, it's looking at who he is as a person and maybe just like the, I mean, it's his choice not to be there, but if Delaroy, like if it's a thing of like respect and like you can't even be there like on this big night, then I shouldn't have to clap.
00:33:10
Speaker
Right. I think it could be as simple as that. Like this could be Delaroy's like, lifetime achievement that he's been wanting, you know, the last 50 years and to lose to someone who didn't even show up to accept the award.
00:33:22
Speaker
I mean, I could understand feeling some bitterness there too.
00:33:28
Speaker
What are your thoughts? I didn't have any thoughts. Okay. I think people are just trying to start something like, yeah. He also just like, I think you're over like, not that you're overanalyzing it because there's many different reasons he could have not clapped. He also just could have been sad that he lost the award. Yeah. Like processing it for a second.
00:33:48
Speaker
Yeah. I think. Which is fair. Yeah. Could have been a number of things and he's valid in all of them. ah Sean Penn makes history as the fourth male actor to win three Oscars.
00:34:05
Speaker
Well, kudos to him. What were his other ones?
00:34:12
Speaker
That's a great question. It's ah it was milk and mystic river, I think. Mystic river. That's the one I missed. Okay.
00:34:21
Speaker
All right. Best. He is really good in mystic river. I haven't seen milk yet, but he's really good in mystic river. All right. Best adapted screenplay. One battle after another was the winner. And this one, this is another category that I feel was a lock.
00:34:36
Speaker
yeah i didn't slog through two months of thomas pension text to not have that be yeah the winner i would have been furious it was up against begonia frankenstein hamnet train dreams very simple and like a very easy choice in my eyes would you pick tashi for screenplay ah yeah yeah adapted adapted uh trying to find it.
00:35:08
Speaker
Was it one battle? I think it was one battle. I feel like you picked one battle. There were quite a few where we were all aligned. Yeah, it it was one battle. I got that one right. Yeah. Surprisingly. right. After Adapted, we had Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans come out to present original screenplay. No, I thought they presented Adapted, too.
00:35:27
Speaker
I think they only did original. No, it was a two-parter. It was a two-parter? Because their first joke bombed, and then Channing saved the second one. Okay, yeah. Let's talk about the bomb when they first came out. So they both came out for the 15-year anniversary of the first Avengers movie.
00:35:43
Speaker
o RDJ comes out in a green suit a la Doctor Doom. Chris Evans comes out looking handsome as ever. Of course. But they bombed. It was pretty well that just happened.
00:35:57
Speaker
I could feel the energy in the room. I feel like it just like sucked out. I think the world is done. We have been oversaturated with those two.
00:36:09
Speaker
For years. And they're doing it again. They're bringing it back from round two. That joke was not great. Yeah, it was really surprisingly bad. Because I think they're both funny people.
00:36:23
Speaker
Yeah. I think, unironically, on the second part, when they came out for original screenplay, Channing Tatum saved him. Oh, yeah. For sure. Him yelling from the audience.
00:36:34
Speaker
Yeah. I need those back. I got work after this. pretty awkward. But I think Chris Evans really needs to get a ah good role pretty soon.
00:36:47
Speaker
Buddy's trying. i don't think... i Guys, I just don't think... do you think he's trying? I mean, there were attempts. what Was a ghost?
00:36:57
Speaker
He wasn't ghosted. Puncture. It seems like a combination of his agent hating him and also... it doesn't seem like he's too picky about his roles because he's been picking some Netflix originals or something like that. They're, they just, everyone knows it's not going to work.
00:37:19
Speaker
But he just does it anyways. Bro cooked and knives out and decided to never cook again. yeah I know. Dude, RDJ2. think that's what was so disappointing finding out that he was playing Doom was like... He went on that that insane like press run like during Oppenheimer.
00:37:34
Speaker
Talking about like how good it felt to be back doing... more complex roles and he's so good as Strauss and Oppenheimer to be fair they offered him like Shohei Otani money to come back as I know that's what I'm at the end of the day it it was the it was the dollar signs but and he doesn't need anymore if offered me that I would do whatever they told me to do on screen the world at that point I'm just like when is when is enough enough but if you have 50 million dollars you really need 10 million more
00:38:07
Speaker
I'd like to get to that point to ask myself that question. you know how how quickly I could go through $50 million? dollars How quickly? Pretty quickly. You think so? okay Yeah. How long do you need to spend $50 million?
00:38:19
Speaker
For me to like, I'm going to spend it. Yeah, like $50 million, two zero, how long does it take you spend it? Oh, I'd go to a a classic car auction and just go for it.
00:38:32
Speaker
Hmm. I'll buy as much as I can. I could clean it out in an afternoon. tacha
00:38:40
Speaker
Not that I would do that, like, actually, but... If you had to spend it. Like, if you were, like, spend $50 million, I could get it done in, like, a weekend.
00:38:51
Speaker
I don't know. m I don't know if I would spend it. You have to. It's you spend 50 million. Oh, I have to.
00:39:02
Speaker
Okay. Gun to my head. Or you or you die. Yeah. Okay. give me Give me 50 million. Yeah. Three months. Three months? I'll find a way to do it. Yeah.
00:39:16
Speaker
I think I could do it in a week. A week? Yeah. No way. For sure.
00:39:25
Speaker
Maybe two. What would you spend it on? A lawyer has to be involved. If there are six zeros. yeah but like Yeah. But think about Tosh.
00:39:35
Speaker
Bugattis are going for like five million bucks right now. So they're like Koenigsegg and like that that classic car. You put a down payment on or you buy one outright, like not even a down payment, i just like here it is, like deliver it whenever. Right. You could do that over like a weekend.
00:39:52
Speaker
And then just go to a classic car auction and bid on like F1 cars, old F1 cars. That's not what I would do though. Like that's not how I spend the money. That's why it would take me a little bit longer. Yeah, For you, I think that makes perfect sense.
00:40:06
Speaker
Vroom, vroom. Actually, i could do it in a day. i would put stock in a whoever in like. Stock doesn't count. No, I'd buy myself like a seat on the board for like Warner Brothers or something to make some real change. yeah I actually don't think that would be enough.
00:40:22
Speaker
It probably wouldn't be. And also you'd be acquired by Paramount in like a month. True. Well, I'm going to use the 50 million to get in between it to stop the merger. Use your 50 million to save it. You are yeah so optimistic. I'm throwing myself in the middle of it all. i You are so wholesome.
00:40:43
Speaker
You are not meant for this world. I'll take some of this for you guys. Sweet summer child.
00:40:49
Speaker
Good night, sweet prince. Okay. Original screenplay. This went to Brian Coogler for Sinners. Yep. How do we feel about it? Good.
00:41:02
Speaker
I know how a friend of the pod felt about it. Yes. Which was not. friend of the pod, you were not happy. How do you feel about it, though, Alex?
00:41:13
Speaker
It wouldn't have been my pick. Okay. It this' its wouldn't have been my pick. I think that...
00:41:22
Speaker
There's a lot to like from it.
00:41:26
Speaker
But I picked sentimental value. I thought that's what the Oscars were going to go with. I don't know why. I just did. I woke up that morning. and I was like, I could see him doing something like that. And I picked sentimental value.
00:41:40
Speaker
Who are all the originals again? Like what would have been my pick? Yeah, going to ask what would have been your pick. So we have Sinners, Blue Moon. It was just an accident. yeah Marty Supreme. Yeah. Then Mental Value.
00:41:52
Speaker
I'd say Marty or it was just an accident. That's what I would have gone with. I thought they were tighter, tighter scripts. Uh-huh. Did you guys watch Blue Moon? I did. Pretty good.
00:42:04
Speaker
Pretty good movie. Carried by Ethan Hawke. Great Ethan Hawke performance. like That's an Ethan Hawke movie, and we'll get to that in the in the when we get to actor in a leading role. But ah yeah, he carried that movie for sure.
00:42:15
Speaker
um I think my pick would have been it was just an accident here.
00:42:22
Speaker
i was and I was happy that that even got nominated for something other than foreign feature. That was impressive. I think that... You know, I'm happy for Ryan Coogler.
00:42:35
Speaker
I like sinners. like, I like, I tend to like his movies a lot. They're very fun. They're very good. It's good to see him, you know, get a dub after doing you years and years of hard work. Yeah. And very consistent work. Right. I mean, I don't think he's ever really put out a stinker.
00:42:51
Speaker
So there's something to say for that. Yeah, for sure. Now, does that necess, would, In my opinion, would that necessarily deserve an award?
00:43:04
Speaker
No. Because we're not about participation trophies. i Liberals. i'm I'm with you.
00:43:17
Speaker
like For me, i mean i also like Sinners, but the screenplay I think is one of the weaker parts of the movie as a whole. i think it's like I think it's the weakest part.
00:43:29
Speaker
and i wouldn't I wouldn't disagree with you. and It's a complicated emotion. and i think I think this year more than... Oscars awards in past, there was a lot of like feelings involved, like a lot of vibes, you know, like I really like Ryan Coogler. Like I want, like I was happy to see the nominations. I'm happy to see them take the wins, but like the win for original screenplay here, it's like, it's just the complicated motion. Cause I really like Coogler, but like I just said, I think the writing's the weakest part of the movie and it's among like some giants here with like, it was just an accident and sentimental value even.
00:44:10
Speaker
And Marty. And Marty, sure. You're a Marty hater. I'm not a Marty hater. I see. I see. You are a Marty hater, though. No, I'm not. You ranked it as the 23rd best movie last year. Out of like 80? That's not hating.
00:44:25
Speaker
that's that's like a That's like a B. That's like a B. Bs don't get degrees. Bs get degrees. It rhymes. Check your privilege.
00:44:38
Speaker
Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan have worked together on four to five movies so far. huh How many more you see them collaborating? think they're just going to keep going.
00:44:48
Speaker
I think they're forever collaborators, and I'm excited to see it. They're Yorgos and Emma. Chadwick was supposed to be in this group with them. Yeah. RIP.
00:44:59
Speaker
If Chadwick didn't pass, is he the lead for Sinners? Yeah, I think it's him and Michael B. Jordan. One smoke in one stack. i Yeah, 100%.
00:45:13
Speaker
There's a world where it was Jonathan Majors without the controversy as one of them.
00:45:21
Speaker
And now he's doing Ben Shapiro movies. It's going to be crazy in two years when Ben Shapiro's at the Oscars. Oh, oh God. Don't say that, please. Ben Shapiro in Majors.
00:45:32
Speaker
Sweet. He's ruined my day. Do not manifest this. Get that evil out of here. Anti-woke sinners. um this the original screenplay was followed by memoriam segment which i thought was beautiful we had um billy crystal come out with a rob bryner tribute rachel mcadams with uh catherine o'heron diane keaton and barbara streisand for robert redford among many others that were lost last year they skipped some people again
00:46:07
Speaker
They be skipping people. I always love when they skip like the kind of problematic but like very big name. yeah It's like, oh... Like, ah, you I knew you were going to do it. I knew you were going to do it.
00:46:19
Speaker
There was apparently, I saw this on Twitter earlier, someone they skipped who was a, ah I forget his role, but he was a he was a higher up at IMAX that helped kind of bring the film format to be more commercially available.
00:46:35
Speaker
um It was this girl on Twitter. It was her father. And they didn't have him in the main... presentation and she was just saying that she felt like he should have been with his contributions especially considering um like sinners for example utilizing these that ratio so heavily and having to be part of its marketing yeah i didn't even see that same um but overall thought it was a very beautiful and memoriam segment uh barbara streisand singing caught me off guard didn't think that was gonna happen same just that to say that it was a it was a bold choice it was thought she was done talking and then she kind of started going i went oh just ripped it out
00:47:22
Speaker
um best production design this was frankenstein two frankenstein yeah sure i picked one battle for this i don't know why I will say Frankenstein, while I had great set design, there were some goofy looking shots in that one. i I have to agree with you. I think I like Frankenstein the most out of this group, but I do agree.
00:47:49
Speaker
I'm sad that Frankenstein won this. Yeah. I wasn't kind of overall impressed. My pick was Marty Supreme for this one. Yeah.
00:48:03
Speaker
mine Mine was Sinners, but i i i was really torn between the two. I think either would have been a more fun and inspired choice than Frankenstein.
00:48:18
Speaker
Oh, well. Oh, well. What are you going to I think that's the last... though How was Hamnet's production design? It's like... they i just I didn't really even really think about it.
00:48:31
Speaker
You know, like... had the Glob Theater. That was cool. Glob? Glob. Oh. The Glob Shido Theater? Speaking of Globs... Perfect.
00:48:48
Speaker
The Grogu appearance. What a segue. i feel like only 20% of the audience members knew what was going on. Yeah. Yeah. i And you know what? One of them wasn't Kate Hudson. She was just vibing with it. She was like, ah, this green guy.
00:49:06
Speaker
what the What the hell is that? I know that guy. ah Disney's fingerprints were all all up in this award show. yeah You know whose fingerprints were all over this award show?
00:49:21
Speaker
Whose? The Lord himself, the Burger King. There were so many Burger King commercials during the Oscars. drowning burgers.
00:49:31
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. We're in Texas. I would love to hear anyone else that's not in Texas. If the Burger King ads were also playing this much for you. think those were the nationally syndicated ads. They seem too high production. Mm-hmm.
00:49:44
Speaker
It wasn't like the Roger Beasley Mazda ad that came on. Shout out Roger Beasley Mazda. You didn't sponsor us. And I don't know Mazda and I've never been in your store. It'd be cool if you were nationally syndicated.
00:49:57
Speaker
Yeah, a lot of Burger King. It kind of worked on me. It sounded good. I was, you know, like who was it? Miles that said it? it's like it's solid now yeah i mean what have they changed what is the rebrand i've never thought it was bad hands up it okay it's certainly the conversation before 2013 2014 good no tolerable tolerable yes good no it's more than tolerable it's more than edible
00:50:33
Speaker
I love a Whopper with the so you would go out of your way to have Burger King 10 years ago? Yeah, I've done it like months ago. and I literally got a How to Train Your Dragon lemonade.
00:50:46
Speaker
On purpose? I do remember you doing that. Yeah, we did talk about We have talked about this. Was it was it it was even the pod? It was on the pod. i don't recall. Because we after we were done recording, I said i was going to go do it, and I did.
00:51:01
Speaker
I'm a man of my word. You know what? you're He's right. He's right, Tashi. Oh, well. What are you going to Broken clock. All right. Grogu, Sigourney Cuiva, and Pedro Pascal.
00:51:14
Speaker
Bad presenting. Yeah, that was strange. It was. but Had they even met before they went on stage? Yeah. don't know it felt weird i didn't know sigourney weaver was going to be in the new mandalorian and grogan movie until we got that trailer to talk about the club shadow she is like and i love sigourney i love sigourney weaver But like she is the glove shadow of sci-fi actors. Her career really turned into glove shadow. Literally, it's just like we're got to put Sigourney Weaver in this. Yeah. yeah It was like it.
00:51:53
Speaker
I honestly think it stemmed from her being in Paul as like a meta joke. And no producer picked up on the joke. Paul, is that the Seth Rogen alien movie? Yes. That's hilarious. Was it good?
00:52:06
Speaker
I liked Paul. I remember liking it too. Yeah. It's because it's not like a Seth Rogen movie. It's, it's a Simon Pegg and Nick Frost movie. Yeah. Okay. That has Seth Rogen in it. Yeah.
00:52:18
Speaker
That explains it. Um, I'm going to say it. Pedro Pascal is not as handsome without the beard.
00:52:26
Speaker
He needs it. It was a little off putting. I don't think anyone was expecting that look. He looks better with the scruff and the messed up hair. agree.
00:52:38
Speaker
ah But they were presenting best visual effects. This was another lock for me. Or Avatar. Not me. Okay. i wanted to I really want to ask you.
00:52:50
Speaker
Why did you pick what you picked? What did you pick? I picked Sinners. There are two reasons why. It was Sinners or Avatar.
00:53:01
Speaker
And because Avatar was so, Avatar 3, Fire and Ash was so underwhelming just across the board with with critics, the general public, like no one has talked about it since it came out.
00:53:14
Speaker
I just thought with all the Sinner's hype and the the one scene towards the end with the the flame spiral as like one of my favorite great shots of the like whole past year, personally.
00:53:31
Speaker
I don't know. I just thought maybe, just maybe. Sanders could pull it off along with the the technical aspects of of Michael Jordan's two characters working on screen together.
00:53:44
Speaker
yeah Like the the cigarette passing in that first sequence when they're they're like both leaning up against their car. yeah they He passes the cigarette to himself. I thought that was so cool.
00:53:56
Speaker
So I don't know, just stuff like that. cause That's not that cool. When I'm when i'm on 6th Street at like 1 in the morning, I pass cigarettes to myself all the time. You can't ever doubt Big Jim, though.
00:54:09
Speaker
Bro's always coming up with some new technology for filmmaking on each movie set he's on. I'm sure he did one for this one. I don't know. I didn't see a significant step up from Way of Water to Fire and Ash.
00:54:22
Speaker
In fact, I think Way Water looked better.
00:54:27
Speaker
Yeah, but it still looked great. Yeah, it looked great, but... like You gotta think, it's like... not Not going for the visual effects for Avatar is the same way the Academy doesn't vote for Leo.
00:54:40
Speaker
We already expect it to be great. And it is. So we don't talk about it. Is it the same way that the Academy is not voting for Timothy anymore? That's a different can of worms.
00:54:52
Speaker
We'll open it soon. Sure. Just a side note for my parents. I don't smoke cigarettes.
00:55:02
Speaker
I smoke cigars. my God. You smoke cigars? No, I don't. I don't. Just cigars. Just And crack. Sometimes crack. Not always. Not not always crack.
00:55:14
Speaker
that's a That's a rare occasion. yeah It's just a treat. Yeah. Every four to five And last night was a treat.
00:55:23
Speaker
all right ah Me and my friends and yeah have them over at the place smoking some crack. I love a good crack party. Love a good crack house. It's so good.
00:55:35
Speaker
Documentary short film, documentary feature film. I hated this segment. Why? I hated it because I hate that I laughed at a Jimmy Kimmel joke twice.
00:55:48
Speaker
I laughed at one. I felt a little shame. but it was just of i his word choice. Yeah. for me It was both of them. I thought we're was like, fuck.
00:55:59
Speaker
Anytime someone uses the word incinerated, it gets me. love incinerated. Conan went outside, looked at the sun and was incinerated. That's not even the joke. I laughed at. I know, but I i would touch you. I do like that word.
00:56:17
Speaker
What got you out? Uh, the references to that guy. Oh, the Melania. yeah Yeah, the Melania. That was a good one.
00:56:28
Speaker
It was so funny, especially because I was the only one in the room who got it until like five minutes after. Yeah, like both Cam and I, like we didn't get it until way later. And so I think the commercial break, he said it and I was like, who is he talking about? You know what you didn't get until I did the voice. Yeah, I was like, oh, so not my not my brightest moment.
00:56:51
Speaker
Not my brightest moment. They're saying it wasn't Malik's brightest moment, just like it wasn't the Academy's brightest moment, not nominating my beautiful wife, Melania, for her best documentary. thought it was the best documentary.
00:57:08
Speaker
It was way better than any of the other documentaries. It was my favorite documentary. We love Melania. Someone get Jimmy Kimmel over here. I don't like Jimmy Kimmel.
00:57:22
Speaker
I did laugh at his joke and then I remembered he is fake news media. He's fake news. I'm going to sentence him for treason. His punishment is listening to Jimmy Kimmel jokes for the rest of his life.
00:57:38
Speaker
Very fitting punishment. Documentary short film winner. All the empty rooms. Haven't seen these ones. This is just a guess. Yep. Yep. think we all guessed that one. I think so. We all guessed that. Yeah. Documentary feature film. I guessed The Perfect Neighbor because it's the only one I had seen and I assumed that was going to win because I think it has the most commercial appeal.
00:58:04
Speaker
Yeah, but in hindsight, I don't know why i didn't pick the Putin one because that one, the Ukraine war always gets the Oscars going because I remember 20 Days in Mariupol won. Yeah.
00:58:15
Speaker
A couple of years back. Although I think that was. i mean, i haven't seen nobody against Mr. Putin, but. Actually, you know, they' they're kind of equal in terms of like dangerous in terms of filming, but ah just one's different than the other. No hindsight is 2020.
00:58:32
Speaker
I did like the speech for for that win. I did, too. was great. and mean i I like what he's about. Good guy. Next category was original score.
00:58:45
Speaker
wi work out tough this is This is when it started started to get tough. Winner. Ludwig Oranson for Sinners. Against Bugonia, Frankenstein, Hamnet, and one battle after another.
00:59:00
Speaker
There's something there. I like it. swears How do you guys feel about this one? About Sinners taking the taking to gold? This is my pick. Yeah. Great.
00:59:10
Speaker
We're good. I love what you I like this. You're a Bougonja guy, though. i know I like I like the center score a lot. And I also really like Bougonja. Bougonja would have been a very fun, crazy win. It was never going to happen.
00:59:22
Speaker
I am totally cool with the centers one. It's a great score. Ludwig now has three Oscars and Hans Zimmer has two. I have a question for the chat.
00:59:34
Speaker
What's up? How much does my goat have for Oscar wins? Ennio Morricone. Who? ah that Get off. Log off. Yeah, I don't know who that is either.
00:59:49
Speaker
Log off. He's won twice. And one of them was an honorary. What's the name again? That's tough. Ennio Morricone. who i You know, the guy that, you know, wrote the ecstasy at gold for the good, the bad and the ugly soundtrack. you' just one of the most iconic soundtrack pieces of all time. He's basically like the father of the Western sound for Western movies and has done so many beautiful Italian films and days of heaven, Terrence Malick's movie and once upon a time in America and the untouchables and the mission and the hateful eight, which he won for.
01:00:22
Speaker
Would we know it if we heard it? Yeah, you absolutely would know the Ecstasy of Gold if you heard it. Okay. He sounds like your goat. It's in a Modelo commercial.
01:00:33
Speaker
No, is it Modelo? Yeah, it is. The mark of the fighter. He only has two? Yeah, and one of them is an honorary award. That doesn't count then. Poor Tom Cruise.
01:00:44
Speaker
Yeah, why are we giving honorary? What are honorary awards? Why? Sorry we couldn't give you one last year. Here's one. Here's ah literally a participation trophy.
01:00:56
Speaker
I think Willem Dafoe end up with one. Yeah. Thanks for saving cinema. Here's a participation trophy. Whatever. Anyway, happy with that one.
01:01:07
Speaker
ah Best sound went to f one I had F1 as my pick. Sounded great. Cars go vroom.
01:01:19
Speaker
I think I picked, wait, who did I pick? Oh, I picked one battle. You picked one battle. I did. but got such Black Chicks line delivery and was like, God, that's so good.
01:01:31
Speaker
That sounded incredible. Sounded good, but i guess that one sounded better. i dont need a rewatch argument I did see the argument for Sinners potentially because they shot with IMAX cameras before before they invented that thing that quiets the camera because apparently the IMAX cameras are really loud.
01:01:51
Speaker
So like you can't shoot dialogue on when you're shooting on IMAX film because it's so loud. They fixed it. Christopher Nolan worked with someone. And they fixed it for the Odyssey so they can get more dialogue.
01:02:04
Speaker
But they had to do like a lot of ADR with sinners if you're shooting on IMAX and you're ah you have dialogue scenes. So I saw that as an argument for why they could potentially win sound. but That's they've done it this whole time?
01:02:16
Speaker
for For the IMAX, yeah, shots. If they're if someone's talking on an IMAX shot, they got an ADR. That's crazy. I didn't know that. Isn't that insane? Yeah. That's a lot of work. Really loud cameras. Okay.
01:02:28
Speaker
Yeah. Good to know Yeah, but yeah, cars go room.
01:02:35
Speaker
I'm fine with that win. Best editing.
01:02:40
Speaker
This went to one battle after another. Nominated against F1, Marty Supreme, Sentimental, and Sinners. Who pick here? Who did you want to win? I picked F1. I should have picked one battle. i don't know why i didn't.
01:02:52
Speaker
I picked F1 too. Yeah. I actually think f one probably should have won it because some of those racing scenes were incredibly well done it's not a bad choice like it's it's it's not but one battle that the car chase scene uh-huh yeah the hill So good. The car chasing is just like the culmination of so many different like factors of filmmaking just in perfect harmony.
01:03:26
Speaker
The whole thing. It's just chase closing from getting there and then chase closing the door. And then you do the standoff with Leo at the end.
01:03:38
Speaker
i know it's just, it's perfect. chefski Yeah. i The best sequence of PTA's career so far. Yeah.
01:03:51
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I would agree. i would agree i need to look at filmography, but probably. Although the milkshake scene from there will be blood.
01:04:03
Speaker
i okay tom Although that one is carried mostly by Daniel Day-Lewis. Yeah. If we did top three, I would say, in no particular order, The Hills with the Road, Milkshake, Frogs from the Sky, Magnolia.
01:04:19
Speaker
Nothing from Boogie Nights. I haven't revisited Boogie Nights in a long time. It's worth a rewatch for me. Not one specific scene at the end of Boogie Nights.
01:04:31
Speaker
with Mark Wahlberg.
01:04:34
Speaker
fuck. Oh, PT is good. Dude's good at what he does. I need to watch. I didn't love licorice pizza, though. I didn't love that one. That would be at the bottom for me.
01:04:46
Speaker
I like it. yeah same You have to confess. Have you not seen any PTA movies except for one battle after another? okay. So I saw there will be blood like when it came out when I was in middle school, it kind of scarred me, but um i really don't remember. I never saw milkshakes the same. I do need to go through what he's made and take a closer look because it's worth it.
01:05:12
Speaker
He clearly knows what he's doing. You should. Yeah. I still got to see the master. The master is very good.
01:05:20
Speaker
Best cinematography. A historical win for Autumn Archipaugh for Sinners being the first woman to win and cinematography, which is insane.
01:05:35
Speaker
Good for her. Yeah. Yeah. Congratulations to her. Very happy. Not my pick. Not my pick.
01:05:45
Speaker
Oh, train dreams. What could have been? Train Dreams was my pick as well. It's so beautiful. I don't care if it was a Terrence Malick ripoff. It was so beautiful. It's so different than all of these other nominees that it just it just felt like the right pick to me.
01:06:05
Speaker
Would Sinners have been your number two? No. Sinners would have been my...
01:06:13
Speaker
Here's the thing. Train Dreams and One Battle. I think I would have put Train Dreams over One Battle just because One Battle obviously was going to go home with awards that night. Yeah. So I'd go Train Dreams, One Battle, Sinners, Marty Supreme, Frankenstein.
01:06:29
Speaker
Yeah. Sinners was my third choice. That sounds right. Mm-hmm. I might put Marty over c Sinners just because those ping pong scenes. electric. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
01:06:39
Speaker
Gas station center is pretty cool too. Yeah. Yeah. I'm putting sinners in third just because of all the different like film formats that they experimented with and all the yeah ratio changes. And there was a lot of thought. From a technical perspective sinners is it's incredible. It's it's an achievement. It's a work engineering. Yeah. Like I'm not mad again. Not mad at this win.
01:07:01
Speaker
But. it's It's like an F1 car, how well engineered that movie is. Yeah, 100%. um This was followed by the live performance of Golden.
01:07:12
Speaker
What'd you think of it? Kind of mid. Are you going to say it wasn't Golden? I don't think it was that Golden. Maybe it was Silver. It was Silver, yeah. that was good I'll go Silver. You know, Bronze is a little harsh.
01:07:24
Speaker
What'd you guys think? Yeah, it was fine. It's not my favorite song on the album, so don't know. There's better songs. Yeah. I kind of wish they incorporated the animated characters a little bit. Yeah. I said this during the night of, but like kind of like the Gorillaz did yeah during award shows.
01:07:41
Speaker
Yeah. there's a specific There's a specific performance of Dirty Harry they did that was very heavily using the animated characters. and it was so cool yeah the first time i saw i will never forget like watching the mtv video awards i don't remember what year i was like 12 maybe and then that was the first time they used the holograms for gorillas and i was like holy shit they're there this is insane this looks so cool and every time they did it it just the the mystique never went away it was always awesome
01:08:14
Speaker
changed you yeah but yeah coming off of the I lied to performance I think this one could have been um just turned up a little bit more yeah I kind of felt like it could have been played at any event yeah yeah the most like I think the most fun part was just having everyone in the crowd with their little I didn't see Leo whack around a A K-pop item, I guess.
01:08:41
Speaker
ah light. Yeah. yeah um Alex, this is when you're when you got upset. International feature film. ah A surprise for me.
01:08:55
Speaker
It shouldn't have been a surprise, and I i should have prepared mentally better for it. I was not prepared. this I mean, Centennial Valley won all sorts of awards, and I just think this was a year of I think, some just groundbreaking, you know very moving very moving features about some very touchy subjects.
01:09:23
Speaker
I mean, this is the second year that we've had like a movie surrounding like the Brazilian dictatorship and what was going on then, the 70s and 80s. We obviously had Hidden for Job, which we've talked about multiple times on the pod, just about how just...
01:09:39
Speaker
just like revolting of a movie it is in terms of its subject matter. mean, it's so well made, but it's just like, just you're sick the whole time watching it. And then it was just an accident.
01:09:53
Speaker
It's such a story on how that movie is, was made and how, you know, Jafar Panahi continues to make movies about, you know, the very regime that's like out to get him.
01:10:05
Speaker
And we, we picked the sad Nepo movie.
01:10:12
Speaker
What are we doing? What are what are we doing? feels a little tall What are we doing? It was not my pick. Would never have been my pick for this one. And I'm not yeah i'm not you know saying that like I'm not happy for Joaquin Trier or anyone who made that movie. not saying that.
01:10:30
Speaker
But there were a couple picks you could make here that I think really would have been special for a multitude of reasons. I don't think an Iranian film has ever won an Academy Award.
01:10:46
Speaker
I don't... Brazilian, maybe. Maybe City of God did. i don't remember, to be honest. But it would have been the first time in a while, especially considering I think I'm still... Or no, I'm still here one, right? Yeah.
01:10:59
Speaker
Okay, never mind. I'm on drugs. I'm still here one best foreign feature. um But, I mean, Henry Jha would have been... mean, the thing opened with... with Javier Bardem with, you know, no wars, free Palestine. Right. I mean like that's, you had two movies here at that were just so on the nose for current events and what was happening. And we completely ignored them.
01:11:27
Speaker
Yep. Completely ignored them. I was very shocked to hear sentiment. If all you get, to get called for it, all of that considered, like I really did not think that was the direction we were going.
01:11:38
Speaker
Yep. it's it's it's It's tragic. And it's it's... I feel... And this is one of the reasons why i don't love like the pontificating during award shows like this is because I feel like it's very surface level.
01:11:59
Speaker
they like It's done to feel good about ourselves, about the Academy, but we're not going to do like the hard thing and put something into the spotlight that is tough. mean, remember when Zone 1 and Jonathan Glazer went up there and like made a speech that was so like out there that he probably won't ever get nominated for anything again? Yeah.
01:12:26
Speaker
I mean,
01:12:29
Speaker
like the Academy could have done that. They could have and you know a awarded a movie that would have been a very think powerful statement. there were And there were two of them. We went to the sad Nepo baby movie.
01:12:42
Speaker
Which again, if you like that movie, more power to you. I wasn't a big fan of it. I watched it a plane. So maybe I should watch it not on a plane. But just, I, you know. And especially considering No Other Choice didn't get nominated. Yeah. years's There's, ah I think...
01:13:03
Speaker
personally a lot more wrong than right or for this category so I I hear you soon ra is just there I really cannot wait to watch it it looks so interesting I did miss that's the only international feature that I missed but I am excited to watch it whenever it's available there was a little mistreatment of international contributors kind of across the board this year yeah Yeah, especially on this next category for Original Song is where a lot of the conversation is happening right now. So ah Golden and the team at K-pop Demon Hunters walked away with the Oscar for Best Original Song and their time for accepting their award was cut short.
01:13:47
Speaker
By about four minutes. Yeah. Like to the point where I even saw tweets of people like, of like seat fillers in the room and that there were apparently like booze and that it felt really bad, like in the room too. They're asking like, did it feel as bad at home as it did in the room?
01:14:05
Speaker
And everyone is in agreeance that we're here to celebrate these filmmakers and their achievements. Give them the time. And they didn't just cut.
01:14:16
Speaker
They cut the lights, the camera, and went to this way out shot and the sound. And they didn't turn it back on. yeah they shut that And you could see someone on the stage was freaking out about it.
01:14:32
Speaker
Deservedly so. But you could see his hands flailing like the whole time. it was i My jaw was on the floor. was nuts. Did not feel good.
01:14:44
Speaker
it's My jaw is still there. I need to go pick it up, actually. I don't know how I went to work without it. ah The Academy needs to do better
Award Show Critiques and Suggestions
01:14:51
Speaker
with this. Plus, the longer their show goes, the more ad revenue they get. So it's kind of a win-win.
01:14:58
Speaker
And there's not one person that watched this telecast and is like, oh, yeah, that was fine. So I really hope that they hear the feedback and from this point on, do better with that.
01:15:12
Speaker
Cut the bad bits. We don't need a 10 minute bridesmaids bit. Please. Let these teams say their thanks and soak in their moments with sufficient time.
01:15:25
Speaker
Thank you.
01:15:28
Speaker
um Best director. I was scared. was sweating bullets on this one, guys. ah Why? gone world Either way.
01:15:41
Speaker
yeah I think there were two choices. Yeah, I did really see like Kugler taking it. My choice was Paul Thomas Anderson and he did take the Oscar for directing.
01:15:53
Speaker
um
01:15:56
Speaker
Did you guys have anyone else as your pick or did you want anyone else? I had Kugler. It just felt like that's where all the steam was headed. But, you know, what can you say?
01:16:07
Speaker
What can you do?
01:16:10
Speaker
I think at this point, if Coogler did get this, that would have been the precursor for me to be like, start accepting a Sinner's Best Picture win. Because it's happening.
01:16:25
Speaker
Any thoughts on director happy PTA got his. Yeah. Finally, out of 14, Boy has been nominated 14 times. I know. Oh, I forgot to say, I did want to say, so the um the girl who accepted the award for casting, the casting director for one battle after another, made that joke directly to PTA that she got the Oscar before he did.
01:16:46
Speaker
And you could see him laughing in his seat, and i thought that was really funny because he's been nominated 14 times before this award show and hasn't won a single one. Yeah. But his so his first one technically was for adapted screenplay, but I'm happy he got his for directing as well.
01:17:01
Speaker
Is it is it mostly for his writing?
01:17:05
Speaker
i don't know many director now. I think it's been a mix of both for writing and directing. Yeah, yeah, he's had his films nominated. I think I think like stuff getting nominated for best picture too. Yeah, because like licorice pizza was nominated for best picture.
01:17:18
Speaker
Correct. Outcomes our boy Adrian Brody. Sanchez on the stage. Best of the night. So I'm sorry. Best best intro of the night.
01:17:31
Speaker
Did make me laugh doing the gum bit from last year. Yeah. I'm glad he can laugh at himself.
01:17:40
Speaker
and And him saying nothing and then just like, I have some really important to say. Yeah. No, no, no. Please let me get through this. The nominees are.
Best Actor Oscar Reactions
01:17:51
Speaker
Timothy Chalamet for Marty Supreme, Leo DiCaprio for One Battle, Ethan Hawke, Blue Moon, Vognamora, The Secret Agent, Michael B. Jordan, Sinners, and Michael B. Jordan took it.
01:18:02
Speaker
He sure did. let's Let's talk about it. All right. Who do you guys have?
01:18:12
Speaker
i I put Michael B. Jordan. I did too. I put it on the gold for who can guess the most who I wanted was basically anyone but.
01:18:25
Speaker
but
01:18:28
Speaker
But you love it. But. Yeah. I'm really happy for him. I'm very happy for him. because I like him as I want to give him his flowers.
01:18:41
Speaker
I do too. Yeah, it just it sucks that this is how the conversation has to be. yeah But yeah, I don't know. It's it's tough.
01:18:54
Speaker
Like, I don't want to be a hater and he's not a villain. Like, I really like him and I'm very happy for him. man michael be Yeah. And his speech was very heartfelt. It was emotional.
01:19:05
Speaker
Like you could feel it. Oh, you could see it on his face. Like I'm literally so stoked for him. yeah Like this is the most complicated like emotion I think I felt for a win. I think ever. Yeah.
01:19:18
Speaker
do i mean for me i rate it or it's like was it better than when he was vince in friday night lights like do i like that more and the answer was no he was great in friday night lights he was so good so good like he like vince is like one of if not my favorite character in the show and he doesn't even show up till the fourth season top five character easy
01:19:45
Speaker
Yeah, don't know. Okay, tit Tim Riggins is my favorite character. Vince is up there. He's up there. Coach Taylor's mine. Can't not love Coach Taylor. Okay, maybe Vince is my third favorite character.
01:20:01
Speaker
Yeah, shout out to Wagner Moore, though. Secret Agent was great. Or his performance in Secret Agent was great. Yeah. Wagner Moore was awesome. God, he's got such a good voice.
01:20:11
Speaker
Very good voice. Beautiful man. Beautiful man. He really is. i ah To this one, I think hurt the most though for Timmy. Yeah. This was like, this was his, that was his best performance he did. And I think that the my that was my number one performance of the year.
01:20:29
Speaker
I agree. i agree. He was so good. And it's like, if not now, then for what? and people are can People are comparing this to Leo's wolf loss.
01:20:43
Speaker
I've seen people compare it to Denzel's Malcolm X loss and then Pacino's like Godfather 2 and Dog Day Afternoon losses. like Does this feel like that to you?
01:20:56
Speaker
Maybe not to Malik, because he's a hater. doesn't It doesn't to me. it It feels like a big loss, but to compare it to those, not of that magnitude to me. Let's ignore movie and let's talk performance. I know your thoughts on the movie. Let's talk about his performance.
01:21:13
Speaker
Still. Really? Yeah. I just... the it's it's complicated the way I feel about Marty Supreme. This movie does not work without Timothy. This movie does not work without even like the marketing campaign that we got. Like there's not a thing about that that I would change.
01:21:30
Speaker
And like the movie's in dead water without him and without this performance. Agreed. But to go back to my feelings just about the movie overall, it's just everything we've seen from a Safdie brothers movie just reiterated like everything that this movie wants to be. i saw in uncut gems and I think I can gems does it a lot better.
01:21:53
Speaker
So like my issue is just the movie as a whole. I think Timothy puts on a great performance. And like I said, the movie does not work without him, but it's still just does not do it for me.
01:22:04
Speaker
That being said, i still would have taken him over Michael B. Jordan. If that says anything. A little that you hate Michael B. Jordan. You know what? I'm going to say it. I'm going to say it Malik is racist. yeah I'm black, by the way, listener.
01:22:22
Speaker
um I can say it. ah ah good but One last thing. um I hate that the conversation is surrounded around Timmy, but do you think that this...
01:22:38
Speaker
I guess his his strategy moving forward, does he double down on his attitude? Yes, he should. yeah Okay. you sure you don't You don't think he's going to change his his strategy? i think he needs to subject the world to Marty Mauser IRL.
01:22:55
Speaker
Everyone needs to terrorize the nation. he i need him running around New York City and it being on the news. And not TMZ.
01:23:07
Speaker
Yes, TMZ, but also like the New York Times is reporting it. the thing The thing with Timmy, bro's still himothy. I love the dude, okay?
01:23:17
Speaker
I'm on his side like probably forever, unless he kills someone in cold blood. What? guess What? Even then? What if they deserved it?
01:23:32
Speaker
i Timothy is very interesting. I think he's going to be interesting to watch for a very long time because he represents, I think, a new wave of actor that the Academy does not yet and will not yet recognize, at least for a while.
01:23:51
Speaker
I don't think he should stop the way he pushes his movies. I want to see that continue because he does bring something new and fresh to the table that i feel that the older members of the Academy branch and voters just do not vibe with.
01:24:10
Speaker
But one day the Academy is going to look like us and it will vibe. So I hope Timmy continues because he's bringing something new and fresh and I'm always excited to see what he's going to do next.
01:24:22
Speaker
Well said. Was this the most Marty Supreme thing that could have happened? Yes. Yeah. 100%. Yep. one hundred percent
01:24:34
Speaker
I'm still gutted for him. Yeah. Any other thoughts on it and Michael B. Jordan? i I don't want to come off as like stingy. I hope we're not. I think it's crazy that there were two Friday Nights alumni that were in Best Actor conversation with jess Jesse Plemons being like the first guy out.
01:24:55
Speaker
And I would have taken Jesse Plemons in this category over him. I think that was the biggest snub of the season. I agree. yeah he was awesome he was He made that movie. He carried Begonia. He does not get the respect he deserves. not so accurate yet One day.
01:25:12
Speaker
When did this shift with Michael B. Jordan happen? Before SAG, it I don't think it was a valid pick. I think in January it was insane to insinuate that he would have won.
01:25:27
Speaker
Yeah. And then two weeks later, he just, it it just shifted. The the rocket ship just it blasted off. took off. Yeah. Literally to the moon. I don't know.
01:25:39
Speaker
I don't know either. It's it's kind of insane to see. Yeah. I don't know we'll ever know. Such a wacky, like, just couple months for his campaign, too. Yeah. I mean, the Tourette's thing. Mm-hmm.
01:25:55
Speaker
Like, what? maybe that helped in a backwards way.
01:26:05
Speaker
Do we think? I think there's a world war that happened during Oscar. like The Oscar voting was before the SAG though.
01:26:16
Speaker
It was before SAG. And so they were still voting for SAG and they were still voting for the Oscars. Either is in the middle of the Oscar voting or is about to happen.
01:26:28
Speaker
Hmm. I don't know.
01:26:34
Speaker
But I'm happy for Let's what he does next. Yeah. And he went to In-N-Out after. He did? That was cute. I'd go to Whataburger after. in l LA?
01:26:45
Speaker
Malik would go to Burger King. Fly it out. Fly it out. I'd be at Burger King. I'd go to Magic City after. In Atlanta. All right. Best actress, Jessie Buckley.
01:26:59
Speaker
Another lock. Yeah. But...
01:27:06
Speaker
Kate Hudson, not as much of a weird pick. Not as much of a dud as I originally thought. i think I talked my shit on a Kate Hudson nomination, obviously, before seeing the movie.
01:27:17
Speaker
i think I did, too. Just because it felt so out of nowhere. God, the movie was so good. It's a good movie. She's good in it. been listening to Neil Diamond ever since.
01:27:31
Speaker
who would did you guys Who would have been your pick for this, if not Jesse Buckley? From who was nominated? or Yeah, from who was nominated. Probably Rose Byrne. I do love Emma Stone.
01:27:45
Speaker
And i I do think she was good in Begonia, but I think Begonia could have still been Begonia with someone else.
01:27:55
Speaker
Interesting.
01:27:57
Speaker
I think Jesse Plemons makes Boogoo and you so i might have to agree with you. I think it's a different movie without Jesse. Agreed. My pick would have been Rose Byrne as well.
01:28:09
Speaker
I didn't see didn't see Song Song Blue. But I'll add it to the watch list. You would also like it. I'm a sucker for a sappy movie. Yeah. Alex.
01:28:23
Speaker
You don't know.
Best Actress and Best Picture Discussions
01:28:28
Speaker
I'm abstaining because my pick wasn't nominated. What was your pick? You know it. Oh, Chase. Duh. Yeah. It's okay.
01:28:39
Speaker
It's not okay. I should have gone three for three with my best actress campaigns. Would have been insane.
01:28:47
Speaker
Yeah, it was tough after Lily lost, but ah yeah the last two years were kind to me, so I guess I was due for another another whiff. She'll be back. But it wasn't a whiff in my heart. Do you think if they considered her character as a supporting role that she would have taken it?
01:29:06
Speaker
Does she even win over Tiana?
01:29:11
Speaker
I think she wins over Tiana because she's in the movie like longer. Because I think the thing that hindered Tiana Taylor the most is it had nothing to do with her performance, which is kind of absurd to think about.
01:29:24
Speaker
It's the fact that she doesn't show up after the first 30 minutes. Yeah. Yeah. Her screen time is very low. That was my grade as well. It's low, and that's not necessarily like a bad thing, but the way it's packaged does her a disservice.
01:29:39
Speaker
Yeah. If it was spread out in like flashbacks over the movie, I think she i think she gets it. I think she has the perfect amount of screen time to for someone to be considered a supporting character.
01:29:52
Speaker
Not an hour and four minutes and your Jacob Elordi and your Frankenstein's monster and have a and your supporting performance. Yeah, that makes no sense. Victor.
01:30:05
Speaker
Category fraud. Category fraud everywhere.
01:30:10
Speaker
Last category of the night. Best picture. I picked one battle.
01:30:18
Speaker
And it went to one battle. I did the same. Thank God.
01:30:24
Speaker
Yep. I could. I don't know if I would have been ah been able to handle a Sinners win. You wouldn't have heard this episode if Sinners had won. We would have been done. wouldn't have posted it. We
01:30:38
Speaker
would have gone on a hiatus. It was close. ive I feel like it was close. I would love to see the amount of votes that each category nominee got.
01:30:50
Speaker
I would love to see how the but like the how it shook out. I'd love to c see the Oscars Electoral College. Yeah, I wonder who gets to see them because they exist. The Academy probably.
01:31:01
Speaker
But like who in the Academy like and how many people? Do you think they sent out a mailer? I think there is a high council. think they send it like a mail order. Which one of you dorks voted F1 for best picture?
01:31:16
Speaker
It's so funny that F1 got in there. I would love to know how many best picture votes it got. It couldn't have been zero. There are people out there that thought F1 should be a best picture winner.
01:31:28
Speaker
it It could have been. They're walking amongst us. There's there's like over 11000 people in the Academy. Statistically, one of them had to think F1 was the greatest movie ever. Oh, they did. I saw it on a variety article with the anonymous ballots.
01:31:42
Speaker
Someone had put F1 for their choice for best picture, like on their number one spot. And you know what? they said It was a good movie. That's sick. That's probably Brad Pitt. I kind of have to respect it. You got to respect the take like that. It's just like, you know, that person knows what they like and they got it.
01:31:57
Speaker
Yeah. They're like, no, none of this arts. Like, i just want cars. It's like that movie gave me cars. If not one battle, who gets it? If one battle. OK.
01:32:09
Speaker
Yeah. If sinners isn't considered. Oh, who's the third? Yeah. Who's who's number three? Oh, maybe Marty. I think. No, I think it's I think it's Hamnet.
01:32:21
Speaker
How far down do we have to go to get Marty? Oh, he's
01:32:29
Speaker
mate Okay, I think it goes one battle, Sinners, Hamnet,
01:32:37
Speaker
Sentimental Value, The Secret Agent. Frankenstein, because that swept probably. Frankenstein, Marty Supreme, Bugonia, Train Dreams, F1.
01:32:52
Speaker
Hmm.
01:32:56
Speaker
ah yeah I don't think Marty Supreme comes into play until at least five, at least fifth place or the back half, which is crazy. Like good nominees. I think a very good year for movies.
01:33:10
Speaker
Yeah, I agree. I hope this year's better. think this year is going to be stacked.
01:33:19
Speaker
I want to make a, ah a tick tock prediction like tomorrow for best picture. I have four already. We should have filmed some during the Oscars. We should have. You guys want to hear what i have right now for please Best Picture?
01:33:33
Speaker
Yeah. yeah ah I think the first five are really easy. I have to take some time to think about the last five. um In no particular order. The Odyssey. Of course. Digger.
01:33:45
Speaker
What? Digger. What's that? It's new Tom Cruise movie. ah Oh, that's right. That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. By the guy. I think it's... who's it I forgot who was directed it. I don't have it in front of me. um Obviously, Dune Part 3.
01:34:00
Speaker
m Disclosure Day. Oh, yeah, yeah. And the Michael Biopic.
01:34:08
Speaker
I think and another easy one, based on early reactions, is Project Hail Mary. Do you think so? i I thought about it, and I'm like, I don't know if it'll have... They're saying it's transcendent. will.
01:34:21
Speaker
Okay. It will. Because The Martian was nominated for Best Picture 2, right? I think so. I want to say it was. pretty sure it was.
01:34:33
Speaker
Man, is Timmy to be back again next year? Oh, man. Timmy in a best actor race with, it'll be Timothy, Matt Damon, Ryan Gosling, Tom Cruise. thank and oh It's going to be insane. who Maybe we finally get the rivals of Omzia King this year and McConaughey's back in the race. That would be insane.
01:34:56
Speaker
Who's the lead in Disclosure Day? um or All I know is it's Spielberg. All I know is Spielberg, Emily Blunt. I've avoided trailers. I've avoided everything. Emily Blunt's in it. Isn't Josh O'Connor in it? Josh O'Connor. Oh, that's right. That's who it was. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man. I love him. my ho I don't think Disclosure Day is going to get nominated. You don't think so?
01:35:16
Speaker
No. Why? why i just I just got a feeling. I don't think it does. I think it's like a good, flo good fun movie. I don't think gets nominated. No, I don't think it flops. think it gets nominated. Or Best Picture. You're going to have some weird artsy fartsy ones in there that you've never heard of until they come out. For sure. That's why that's why I got like the first five. I think those are like the big names. And then I'm going to try to do some deep digging and pull some um inspired picks. Do you think a Spielberg movie comes out and it doesn't get nominated for Best Picture?
01:35:44
Speaker
when is When is the last time that happened? He got nominated for The Fableman's West Side Story. think those were the reason too.
01:35:57
Speaker
We'll see. Keep this podcast on lock. We've got... we yeah We'll go back in the archives and see if we're correct. Overall, I feel like this was a pretty good award show.
