the only awards i am relatively convinced of are actress (Buckley) and director (PTA).

 

I am starting to think there’s gonna be a best picture/best director split between Sinners/One Battle

 

Watched F1 last night and I can’t think of many other movies that were so flagrantly made in a lab just to promote a separate product

 

I don’t think coogler is in 2nd for director

quick rundown using soggy's list.

 

Need to catch up on Sentimental Value and The Secret Agent before Oscars day, but of the others:

1. Sinners
2. One Battle After Another
3. Marty Supreme

BIG GAP

4. F1
5. Bugonia

BIG GAP

6. Frankenstein
7. Train Dreams
8. Hamnet

Very genuinely hated Hamnet, and very glad it has not made the Best Picture run some people expected coming out of the Globes.

 

Sentimental Value was very, very good and worthy of all its praise, but only really stands a chance in the Intl. Feature and Supporting Actor category which i more and more think is going to go to Penn anyway. I think Supporting Actress will go to Amy.

Curious about the Hamnet hate though lol

 

Why?

 

Thought sentimental value was good not great and I loved the last Trier

 

Yeah I thought it was fine at best

 

The Secret Agent
Marty Supreme
OBAA
Sentimental Value
Train Dreams

Hamnet
Bugonia

Frankenstein
Sinners
F1

 

I feel like expanding the Best Picture category to more than five films has not aged well.

I have ZERO desire to ever watch F1 and/or Frankenstein. It’s cool that there are some international films also nominated here, but isn’t that the point of having a category specifically for International films?

 

It was an overreaction during a time of a different academy but most years I’d say there are more than 5 worthy films. Ultimately they should go back to the flex where they can choose between 5-10 depending on the year

 

10 slots is good.
The academy’s taste tends to not be good.

 

Outside of Eddington and It Was Just An Accident what other major release was snubbed from BP? Weapons is a better film than Sinners. I’ve heard The Mastermind is good.

 

28 years later. No other choice. Testament of Ann Lee. The shrouds.

not that they all had any chance to get a nom but feel like snubs.

also lol wicked for good almost certainly feels snubbed even though it deserved to get blanked

 

2025 probably my favorite film year of this decade thus far

 

Idk 24 and 22 went off

 

2023 or 2024 had the most films I liked. 2025 had really good highs but also really bad lows
