Hellllo, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Trastel. My name is Trasmall
and old boy. When I'm here, I'm alive. I'm sorry. I'm
gonna finish off this event. This Vince has not gone away yet. Yes,
I am back. Maybe I shouldn't say this back. I don't know,
I can't. I'm just trying to look. I can't remember last time
I've been on the airwaves here, but yes, if you checked out the
Doom review, which big shout out, you know, that's why one thing
that's exciting about another hasn't always been that way. But I'm just very excited
to have those three gentlemen with me in the thickened thinning at all. When
was the last time I podcast said? Oh boy, oh my goodness,
most last time I was on main feeds. I know we've released stuff for
the patrons and stuff, but the last time I was on main geek first
was a madam Web review. That can't be right, is that right?
Oh my god? Because I've been on side quest but uh yeah, it's
been in a minute. I was deadly, deadly sick, so I've only
listened to the non spoilers pigture out to Kirkland, Taylor and Dylan for covering
for the doing review very bombed. I hate this. It's like two years
in a row, missed Avatar, which will be the biggest one, and
then now Dune. That was the one I was probably most excited for,
next to Deadpool and Joker and stuff film wise, I think right, because
I don't know what those two are gonna be like. But I feel like
what we're talking about today is there's best in favorite, right, and Dune
was the one I looked for to the most. Like film Why So suck
big time. But yeah, So what's gonna happen? This is the Oscar
predictions. I'm going to predict the oscars, but it might be joined by
some people. This fucking mint will knock go away? Let me drink here,
My God, should all be going now, Jesus? So what's the
plan? Oh and my camera just died too. Look at my camera died
at that point. Look at the camera. I should just leave it there
for if anyone else comes in. My camera's been messing up lately. I
don't know. So God, I've been sick in bedroom in the past three
days. Brutal flew my uh milk child Logan had it. But what's gonna
happen? I guess before I'll kill some time. What's happening is the first
ten minutes just a regular trast told you, I'm gonna just whatever, kill
some time, talk a little so that people get in there, and then
I'm gonna send out links to the patrons. So if you want to join
this, we decided a couple of weeks ago, like, hey, let's
do an oscar pool and I always do oscar predictions, usually try to.
I thought, hey, if anyone wants to join me, come on board.
So hey, maybe it's just me and it's just a regular oscar tras
prediction, or maybe have some guests that I'll make it a better episode.
So the link's gonna go in about six minutes. So anyone on the Phase
two tier, it's in the comments down below or the description you can join
on and we're gonna go category by category. But yeah, I apologize,
is my voice sounds like a little rasp because I even feel it hurts.
But so this gonna happen, And like I said, it's just me and
just retular predictions. If not, hopefully some people enjoy me and we'll have
some fun and if you'll can't make it, I've asked them to give me
their predictions too. That's why head over to our discord because we have an
oscar pool channel in our discord and we're gonna see who is going to win
this. I'll be excited to see if anybody he beats me. I don't
want to say that, but notoriously, me and Liam who Liam's shout for
an old school listeners. You guys would probably all know him if you were
more listening in the first five years. But me and him stopped a couple
of years ago because he moved and like even right now where he lives,
it's ten pm his time, so too late. But we did it every
year and I beat him every year. I'm undefeated, so and I think
that's gonna happen. No, but I'm always excited to see what's gonna happen.
So in a couple of minutes people will be joining me. I'll be
talking about some of that. But yeah, I was super sick. Josh
are right. Hopefully there's no spoilers in here. I'll trust you. Josh
also tell me too. In the confetti do you like josh or Joshua,
because I was talking about somebody I hate, Trav. My mom calls me
Trav. She's the only person I let and my sister does, but I
call her mother and response, so I don't want to speak out of turn.
There and stuff done. Two theater experience was absolutely the throck as someone
who just watched, as you can see, the breath is a little a
little shortened who just watched June one for the first time a couple weeks ago.
That will probably be the best overall film franchise for a while. And
yeah, that's what sucks. I keep hearing great things. I think the
lowest score out of the people in my community is like a four, which
is still pretty good. I'm excited because would Doune too. The opening I
heard that Dylan Taylor were on the same page, which I was quite surprised
by. But they felt there's maybe some stuff missing, or there's some stuff
they want more explanation on the sudden, so like, I don't get just
a sense that hey, this would make the film better. So I'm curious
where I'm going to be. But luckily because I could not see it.
But yeah, I had the flu I was. There is a day and
a half where I was just I was at work, and it's like one
the thing I usually tell people, Josh, but I don't really mind either
way. Okay, that's fine, So either way, okay, cool.
I still want to because I know I don't like when people call me trap,
and I know somebody like Carl will do in the future and piss me
off. But uh and I So I was at work and it was like
a forty five minutes, feel like shit, I'm gonna throw up any second
now, and then I didn't. But then forty five minutes but oh,
completely fine. And I was so bummed because we were gonna be filming stuff
for a project, one of our films coming up, and I was like,
perfect, where a tailor. My camera's messed up again, my idea's
gonna come over, We're gonna film and then go right over to Doune and
oh man, it was touch and go. And that's where I couldn't decide.
So I took my break and my lunch at the same time, and
I was like, oh, maybe if I got a nap in the middle
of the day of that, I'll work. So I slept for about forty
five minutes. That didn't work. It made me feel even worse, so
that wasn't good. And then it was, and then after that it was.
I slept for about twelve hours. Anytime I'd wake up, I'd take
some gravel go right back to sleep. It was awful. It was just
like the chills cold. I was to the washer many times, stick multiple
ways. It was back and forth all the time, and luckily it was
just eventually just woke up, felt a little not so bad like after the
like on day two, but still the flu, but not as bad.
I could eat like some pretzels because for some reason I do good with salty
foods. I'm not saying like a hey, I want some Miss Vicki's ketchup
chicks those or gross, but like just something where it's like I need some
sort of going on. Like there's a type of sesame cracker I like,
which I didn't have either, so I had that, and I feel like
today is the first thing like I'm fine. And it sucked too because I
knew this was coming up, and I don't like announcing canceling thing, but
today is the first day where I feel I'm on the man. But I
had a head cold, throat was sore, closed, volmiting, stomach all
over place, chills, fever for everything it was. It was bad.
It was real bad. And yeah, it just sucks because I'd already ta
get some dime off from work, so I felt really bad. I tried
to hang on the whole day because I usually can power through most of the
stuff that I did. I got through six and a half hours because I
I know it's lots people. Oh it's just your job takesing. I get
that. But my boss has been really good for time when I need stuff
with like my kids and like, hey, I need this day off and
stuff, so I try to especially I work from home too, so I
feel like a little bit sometimes where it's like I gotta be sick unless I'm
actually throwing up. But it was at close. So yeah, that's why
I missed Dune, So I don't know. Luckily, I was going to
see it on Tuesday because Emily couldn't see it with me on Thursday, so
as long as and then she got sick. Oh thank you very much,
Kyle, And hopefully you should join after nine because like I know you said,
Oh, I watched the movies That's why I wasn't saying like, hey,
don't join because I watched it there just because like I don't want someone
to join. I've seen it before. It's like, oh, I got
nothing at this topic. You know, I've been there on vodka stream where
it's like it's an hour and it's like I got nothing to say here,
but no, thank you very much. But like I said, after Nime,
we will be doing an after nine. It's like gonna be a poke
Craft nine. So make good on our stream one we didn't do, but
it's gonna be an after Nieme where we're just still talking. So if you
don't want to play poker, you can just chill. That's why we chose
poker because like many times, we can just hang out. We tried to
do it during the Cherry stream and it was just causing too many issues.
But luckily Emily, but she is now more sick than me. Luckily the
kids are skiing now. So it was Logan was sick, and then I
was sick, and then she was sick, and she was sick longer than
me. So we had a day. We literally had a day planned off
from work for a date day. We're just both sick, do nothing.
We watched Appenheimers. I made her watch that, but oh, I know,
we watched the leging movie with the kids and stuff. But yeah,
so hopefully she's feeling good. Tuesday, I'll go. But we have tickets
to here, thank goodness, because it would have been sold out, so
no problem. I'll be around. I've played poker, so dust off my
old skills. And like I said, yeah, it's poker for fun.
It's not gonna be actual money. And if you just want chill and hang
out, you can. We've done game nights before. People just comeing and
hang out. So Patriots, I'm gonna drop you the link right now,
and then what's gonna happen is we will sit around for ten minutes, catch
up, shoot the shit, if anyone wants to join, and then after
ten minutes I'll know I have no one wants to join, no one has
to join, and then we'll go down here. I really have no rhyme
or reason. I think I've just pulled up where is the oscars? Seeing
what am I on? I'm on CBS. I don't why CBS. I
don't know. I think I liked it because, oh, lots of them
have like the picture slide show. But yeah, I feel pretty confident in
my Oscar skills this year, I think so. I'm usually pretty I'm pretty
spot on and pretty good. I think there's the odd ones, and I
think this year too, there's a couple I'll take a chance on. But
I'm pretty good with the Oscars. Like is it to say I'm excited for
the Oscars? Like yes and no, Like I'm not exactly. I can't
wait to see the Oscars. I have a fun time watching it. I
go with my family and we're gonna go to my mom's and watch it there
because I don't have a cable with two who used to watch them all together?
Who's host? Oh just Kimmel. That's hosting, right. I like
Kimmel, but it's just like you know what you're getting with Kimmel, right,
So yeah, that's pretty much about it. So so we have someone,
Oh my goodness, look at this. I wish I had something very
cool. April got some cool I had literally, ah, it's not with
me. I had to wear sometimes when I don't have my headbands, I
had to wear my daughter's, Like can you cat? I was doing chores
so to hold those back, but very nice on like the Sparkle Years.
That's cool. Thanks, how are you doing? I'm good God to hear
that you're doing better. Oh, thanks, somewhat better. I figured like
seventy five percent, So you know, I'm I'm happy. I just don't
like being sick in general. I don't mind head colds. Head colds,
I can power through like no other. I can do anything. But the
stomach bug, Oh my goodness. Not not good. And it brought me
back to because recently, I'm not sure, how do you feel about the
Hobbit films? It'll make sense why I'm asking about how you feel about them.
I don't know if we've talked about those. They're okay, yeah,
that's the same thought I had because we haven't watched them. I've watched them
since like twenty sixteen. But when we finished The Lord of the Ring by
old Star Gwenn was like, oh, is there more movies? And like
no, but like there is these other films and they're so we're watching the
Hobbits because she's interested in them. So I thought, okay, may as
well like experience those again. But that was not the last time. But
I remember when I saw the Hobbit. I don't know if it was I
was sick or the I don't know. Did you see Hobbit the first one
in the theater when they did like that high frame, No, they did
like that. You know what that is, that high motion frame where things
move very fast, and they did that. I think it made me sick.
But one of the most embarrassing moments in life is I remember after the
Hobbit, I was feeling like the whole last hour. I ran out and
I was throwing up outside and everyone was leaving the Hobbit just passing me as
I was like all my hands and knees just throwing up outside. So embarrassing,
and it was not like a one I was done. I was there
for like a saw a couple of minutes. Just felt like man like high
school like dream like Nate dream like you're naked and a high school sort of
thing, or just people walking by like, oh my god, like they
just saw the Hobbit and here's this random guy just getting sick and oh my
goodness. So that was, yeah, it was. But now we're you
watching the Hobbits now, and all right, Luckily we're watching them in like
parts because they can't sit through a whole like three and a half hour thing.
But uh, you know, that's what we're doing. I'll bring him
in here. I didn't want to bring him a drink. Looks like he's
swallowed, now, Clay, there, I have swallowed. That's a good
thing, you know. Confirmed. What's up, guys? That's going bad?
Yourself? Pretty good? Yeah? Real good? What's that behind your
left shoulder? Is that a blanket? Blanket? Yeah? Okay, I
just wanted to take it. Looks like all color blanket. Okay, yeah,
it looks very like maple Canadian bacon as well too. Yeah, so
I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, how are you doing so
good? I'm not going to spoil anything, but I saw Dune last night
and I'm still riding off that high I haven't seen I checked my letter box
a while. What did you do to give it in April? Four?
Okay, so you're like period to talk to you all about it. It'll
be fun in the next afternoon. Okay. Yeah. I'm curious because I
actually thought it was gonna be one. Not that that's not like four as
a bad score, right, but I thought it was gonna be one of
those of like across the board. It's like I thought the low score might
see as a four point five. But now I've heard a few more people,
I guess that almost happens though. Two. When you get a month
of this is a masterpiece, it's the next Empire strikes back or two Towers
as well. Like that hype really builds up there, so it's tough to
match that. So and there's just so much in the movie. There's like
so much in it that there's stuff to like and stuff to not like,
Like you're bound to not like something. I feel like, yeah, because
there's just so much in it, so much going on. It's a lot.
Yeah, April, I was gonna asek you because sounds like your score
is maybe seem like we're because Dodn't doesn't drop scores, so I kind of
get I can suck them up. Okay, I know what number you're given
here, he said in his non sports which I was very surprised. He
said he wouldn't be that excited for a three. Are you in that same
way now or would you still be like bringing on number three? No,
I'm down for number three. Yeah, Okay, So the four score wasn't
like a kind of all that's I'm doing, like doing enough for me?
No, it was too long, I think, was my Yeah, I
was gonna ask if you could say without spoiling anything with cons were but that
was a big one, got it? Yeah, that's fair because if you
have if you feel movies too long, that like each minute grades on you.
It's like it's like taking down your score by a decimal each time and
like doing doing dude, like going so, okay, that's fair because what
was this one reached the full three hours? Or is it two fifty?
What is it again? I think just under Okay, it's not too bad
then, so we'll see. But yeah, I'm gonna see you on Tuesday,
so I'm excited to catch it and see what's going on. How we
haven't Also, we're not gonna give our picks. But how confident do you?
Guys? What is your like Oscar prediction history? Are you like?
Do you have a method? You just go wild? Are you pretty good
at your thoughts or you do a lot of heart picks and stuff? I
usually do pretty well mm hm, So I try to go with my head
with like a couple of extra heart takes. Yes, you're muted, but
I all agree with everything is said. I think he's muted. Either I
muted, I muted while I took a drink or while If either, I'm
like, oh that's the ultimate. He's muted and can't hear it's nothing.
No, no, no, I was just saying, I think I'm pretty
similar to April, where you know, I like to think I get a
decent amount right and go with my head and hit some there and then go
with my heart and always lose when I go with my heart. But I
was kind of thinking. My my thing going into this tonight is like,
I feel like Oppenheimer is just running away with these oscars this year, and
I kind of want to, like try not to pick just Oppenheimer, Oppenheim
er Oppenheimer, but if I want to win, I would just pick up.
I'll give you the at least two things. But we used to do
every years. I still ask what you think, think and what you want.
So if you don't want to waste your actual prediction, you can say
what you want to win. But if you want to go for the point,
you can still do that. Yeah, That's what I'll do, just
so I can voice my opinion. Yeah, I feel like there's a I
think this is gonna all come down to like the bottom categories and are not
bottom in the sense of like less importance, but just like the ones that
will happen in the Mill Show, I think those will determine the winners for
us in this pool, because I feel like other than a few, other
than like i'd say, lead actors, we'll get the lead actor. There's
like a chance maybe Paul going. But I feel like all those top awards
we know, but it's that like production or screenplays or international films or short
films, those are always the Okay, I gotta hope my best here because
I don't think I've seen I've not seen any of the shorts or animated ones,
so neither. So I will bring in the two m's right here.
We got Maddie and Mike. How's it going general plan? Yeah, said
no, and the two ms you at all? You know you got classes.
You need a tuke mic and you guys could just be the same person,
you know, I was thinking, but it's too hot. O man,
how's it going right now? I'm good man? How you guys doing?
You're better? Travis? Yeah? Mostly like I'm the up slaying like
I could have seen him Dune today, but like waiting till Tuesday now,
so it's even more like you must have been bummed that you had to missed
a review with them. You know that sucks. It was, but it
was what It wasn't like Avatar, where I wasn't end up being bummed because
I saw my daughter's concerts. I was fine, but that was like a
conscious mound. I was so sick that I didn't give a ship. I
was like, I'm not making it. It was that's how bad I was.
It'd be different. It was something else because you're just sitting there.
When I woke up and the review was done, I I'm not gonna be
I woke up, I saw the YouTube. I was like, oh,
they're good. Like that's where if I was awake and seeing like oh,
like I had no time. Even the next day, I was still sick,
like I had no kind of process like missing it. So my mind
is like okay. At that point, it's like, okay, I was
starting to really feel conscious. On Friday, it's like Saturday Sunday to like,
okay, only three days now, that's fine. But on the Thursday,
at first, I was like, oh, like that's like almost a
week, but three days now it's like, nah, that's that's nothing.
So now I'm as more excited because not that I've heard mixed, but I've
heard not everyone give it like a full straight five, so that's I'm like,
Okay, that's that's exciting. So you're gonna give your thoughts in the
future on an episode ever the last I'm gonna ten years from Hour of You,
Dude. No, I probably will in like a solo or email news
or something. I'll talk about it. But I'm sure we'll get a lot
of golden gigs next year, I think. So yeah, that's I imagine
lots of acting and visuals and stuff. What of this year and everything?
What about you, Mike? Have you sick? Because, like I said,
I've been around. Have you seen Dune? Are you seeing Dune?
I have my tickets for March twelfth because I'm going to see it with a
friend of mine and we want to make sure we saw the first time together,
and March twelfth was the date that we had free, so I am
eagerly witting that day. Nice. Nice you. Luckily we get the spoilers
chat, which is good. I hopefully you won't because I've not been spoiled.
But it's seen memes, and that's memes about the new spoilers where it's
like you'll see a meme and I'll move past, but you start to read
it and you go, oh, so it doesn't spoil anything per se,
but like oh that moment when it's something funny like oh no, well,
the thing like Dune, I feel like the story is like so like,
at least in my circles, like all the books and everything are so talked
about that I kind of know things that are gonna happen like that I can
piece together. It's just like smaller details I'm not sure about still, so
see, and that's been lucky. I know nothing. We've purposely not watched
I think I saw it when I was like a wee lad. But we've
not watched the David Lynch one because we thought about retroing it before, but
we kind of took the vote that we don't want to know too much.
I think we're gonna retro that for three because that David Lynch re that just
covers the first book, right, Yeah, okay, so that's where we'll
be safe after this one to retro that, so we will. But yeah,
I'm that's the same thing with like Invincible. I know nothing about Invincible,
so I know like Brent for Marvel Alliance always tells me like, oh,
you should watch, you should read. The comics are great, you'll
love them, which I believe them. But now it's like this is one
thing that I won't get spoiled on or no. So it's like, Okay,
I want to actually enjoy it. So like comic book stuff, whether
it's because the arcs or it's just the rumors, I feel like I always
get spoiled on. Like I'm still mad, Like I won't even say people
don't know, but like I'm still mad that certain actress came out, you
know, like of that role. I was like, oh, I wish
we didn't know that, Like why should all have the red carpet, Like,
come on, but keep hitting away. Our spoilers are more important to
her going on to the carpet. Yeah, exactly. You don't need to
do this. You've got a career, so okay, so let's do this
all. Like I said, I'm using just a random CBS link here.
You were saying before when I jumped in, you hadn't seen like some of
some of the other ones, like animated shorts and things like. Yeah,
no, none of those this year. So I'm gonna be going off feeling,
going off feeling and if I've heard anything and stuff. So let's see
here, did you end up watching often anywhere? I'm watching that tomorrow afternoon,
so I am at a disadvantage there. Yeah, it's like the one
big one. I haven't seen it. I don't know why. I've just
been saving it for a while. Yeah. Yeah, So I watched Poor
Things tonight and love that so nice. Nice. I thought Poor Things just
hit Hulu. So I actually went to watch it earlier today and it hasn't
yet, and I tried booting it up on a janky website and it just
did not want to go. And I'm not spending the twenty bucks. Yeah,
I'll watch it then, But I haven't seen Poor Things tonight. I
haven't seen American Fiction and Zone of Interest. Those are the three that I'm
gonna try to do over the next week. You plan on watching them,
though, I think so Poor Things, Poor Things for sure. Yeah,
I'm gonna try and get to all three if I can. We'll say,
because it's next week, yeah, yeah, I know, yeah, I
got a I got a hustle. But yeah, I'd very much like to
watch all three of those because they all have, you know, bits and
pieces that interest me. I know, April April, you've seen them all.
No, you just watched the Zone of Interest. Yeah, I've seen
all the best pictures. The only big one I haven't seen. Yeah it's
Napoleon. Okay, is that even up for any I think it came out,
Yeah, costume effects, it's got a couple. Yeah. What did
you think of Zone of Interest? It was really good. It was depressing,
but it was yeah. Yeah, it's hard to say, like,
oh I want the Zone of Interest for Best Picture, Like it's tough,
Like what's the last most depressing movie that had won? I'd think, like
I feel no bad Land maybe, Yeah, I was just a depressing watch
overall for my Yeah, I liked It's still Actually never I never watched that
one. It wasn't for me, Like I said, Closet is just not
Travis director for me. So finally got one man looking in a bigger arena.
He Yeah, when you're on for wrestling, they should host hoscars at
the w W event. You know, I'm sure that. I'm sure all
the fans are really appreciate ate all the awards and everything like that, but
there's one No wrestlers went to Oscar yet. You know, we're waiting for
Big Dave to do it. Maybe the Rock's gonna do a Smashing Machine four
movie, right, Yeah, yeah, guys, speaking of my buddy just
showed me some footage of the Rock from last night, and man, while
I was cracking up some good stuff, he's having a fun time. He's
yeah, it's nice to see him like play a bad guy again. So
it's it's gonna be a good time. It only took like seventy million dollars
that they're paid him for. Yeah, yeah, only that. Yeah,
s bubs, What is your history with the Oscar predictions or pools or anything
like that? Are you is this a new Like I don't really like predict
them often, Like there's sort of ones I want to win, but I've
never like made a list I think of, like these are all the ones
that I think are gonna win. M hmm, Well here we go.
This is you're on record. Now if you win, you can be like
undertake to be undefeated, start to shriek. You know. So these are
ones like a lot of my picks this time where like it's like I saw
that, like everyone has the same stuff on their list. I'm like,
for these ones, I'm just gonna pick. Like, if this one wins,
people would be mad, but I'd got a point. So there there
is a few that I have that era like not the wild Swings, but
I feel like most we are going for. Okay, if I in order
to win this, I gotta go for something else. Yeah, A couple
of underdogs, A couple of underdogs. You gotta sprinkle in there, you
know, because the prizes still do happen, Like we kind of know a
lot of the ways before, but some of them do happen. So all
right, let's start with makeup and hair styling. The five nominees are Golda,
Matt Maestro Oppenheimer, Poor Things in Society of the Snow. What is
Golda? I've never heard of Golda because that was like one in a few
categories that you're like, where did that come from? Like, yeah,
I haven't seen that one. Oh yeah, fake? Does she wear a
prosthetic nose in that or something? A lot of stuff and looks like some
cheap bones too and eyebrows. So yeah, big year for pros like noses,
you know stuff. But April, I'm gonna let you go first.
What do you think is take in? What do you want? And what
do you think? I'm gonna go with Poor Things for for both of those.
I know that my show is the favorite, but I really wish that
doesn't win anything. So you're the favorite, I think. Really, I
saw a lot of people saying Poor Things as the favorite, so I saw
the betting odds. Yeah, my show is my show's favorite because every time
I heearople talk about my show the makeup, they make fun of it.
Yeah, it's like I feel like it's like it's like pretentious, like they'd
be like wow, like they made it so accurate, like we have to
give this the link, Like yeah, I just feel like even that nose
is not compared to half the stuff in that movie, like even just Willing
to Fall Alone, Like he looks fantastic nose. I not know that was
the favorite, So I will double down. I'm the same as April.
My boat. My both want and think will be poor Things. So we'll
do the top half your clay. We are you on the makeup. I'm
going I'm going with my stro just because I think the Academy really likes Brandley
Cooper and they want to give him something, and they're going to give him
this sad consolation prize and I think it's gonna be embarrassing and he's gonna be
mad. He's gonna go out there accepted on the makeup with the fake nose
on. My man needs to talk to his agents. He's talking about these
dad shower He's talking about loving his kids. I like Bradley Cooper. I'm
hoping that he's just like saying stuff trying to be funny. It's just not
coming off as funny. But uh yeah, he needs they need to.
Yeah, he had some interesting takes. So I watched you just sit down
the interview off. I haven't I haven't watched any of this. It was
the one of him and Emma Stolee like to sit down the interview each other
and yeah, boy, yeah, that's some interesting things in the group chat
or something. There is one where he talked about yesterday that he's very comfortable
around nude in his house because he said he used to chower with his all
the time. He said he didn't. He said he didn't love his daughter
for the first eight months of her life. It's like I thought he was,
Yeah, I ge't what I think he was trying to go for.
But like, which I haven't experienced that, but like that is a thing
that people say like sometimes, especially males, like it takes long to connect,
and I said that luckily never happened for me. But it's like it
was the way he says, like, oh no, like he's just I'm
what. I'm very curious though about Cooper's which it's sad because what's his name?
David Chazelle said this week, like he's working on his new script and
he doesn't think we'll get made because he won't get the funding. So that
sucks because I like Babylon. But it reminds me after what was the space
movie he did, First Man? First Man? Yeah, we did that.
I've always said that. Everyone said that movie was boring. So he's
like, Oh, I'm gonna go out and make Babylon show everybody. So
I feel like the next movie Cooper makes is gonna be crazy. Why,
Like I think he's gonna go all out. I think he's gonna show everyone,
like, hey, I'm not pretentious. I'm not I can do this
and everything too. Yeah, watch him just to Hangover four, and I
know I know his next thing, which is if it comes out next year.
Definitely my most anticipated him next year is he's starring in Spielberg's Bullet remake,
right, which, yeah, I'm so. I feel like there's like
no news about that. They announced it, like you have to dig deep
Spielberg. Filberg's like, if you don't win the ospits off, that's why
they're waiting for more news after. I think they're still working on the script.
Yeah, I think that's where it's happened. What about you on the
makeup and hairstyling. Yeah, I picked my stroke for for the reason I
was saying before, like I feel like this is like the Bradley Cooper one,
like yeah, just get just get it. So all right, Mike,
what about you. I'm gonna go off script. I'm gonna take Society
of the Snow because I think that's the one that's gonna get. I could
have sworn I heard it win that for another in another award show, So
yeah, go with that one. That'd be a big one because I don't
know if anyone else. Nice, Maddie, what do you got over there
for makeup and hairstyling? So my my want is poor things. But I'm
I'm gonna I'm gonna ride the Bradley Cooper train. If they don't win,
it will be entertaining nonetheless to see his reactions. Okay, and then Hands
wants poor things to you? Nice? Yeah, okay, you want poor
things, and Hansy poor things as well. So she's the cool So it's
all poor things are Maestro, except for Micro's Society Stone. So Mike,
you get a big win there. If you get that right there, that's
not bad. I like it off the Okay, let's see what alse Okay,
production design, don't know why I said that. Why I'll blame the
sigas production design. Barbie, Killers the Flower Moon, Napoleon, Oppenheimer,
poor Things, Clay. I'm gonna let you start this time. What do
you think is taking it? What's you're thinking? What's your want? So?
I think my my pick is going to be Killers of the Flower Moon?
Hmm, okay, and man, my want I'm staring at the list
right now. I think I was more of a Napoleon fan than most and
I thought that movie is but it's production design. Well yeah, because those
battle scenes. I mean, if you count that as a field though,
do you count the field as production design? It's in there, so I
guess they have an exploding horse that's like the coolest, do you actually?
I think location scouting is a part of production design, so I kind of
fish that's fair. Yeah, I thought those sets that would be my heart.
But I'm gonna go with just no one's talking about Napoleon, so I'm
gonna go with Killers of the flower Man. We'll see, yeah, and
then what Ridley Scott just get another whatever? For gladiare just taking down studios
one by one, sucking all their money dry. That's a good thing to
have. But as buzz, where are you on production design? I think
I'm gonna go with Poor Things. I haven't even seen it yet, but
I just feel like it's gonna win, just like also what I've seen,
and like I just feel like before I think before Poor Things was like getting
the hype, I probably would have thought like like Barbie or something. But
I think I'm gonna go with pour Things. Okay, poor Things for I
suppose what we you Mike uh want and think is gonna be Barbie. I
want to think that. I think it's that's everyone talks about how great the
Barbie town is or the houses, and yeah, I think that's the one
that's it has the highest like like the chance of winning. For Okay,
Maddie, what about you, I am going to work there. It's production
design. Yeah, we confirm poor things, poor things, poor things.
Barbie close second though, Okay, April, I also have poor things,
poor things. Yeah, I'm gonna go poor things as well. I think
that this was Barbie's award at some point, but I do maybe the spoils
a bit of my picks, but I feel like Barbie has a chance of
being that one that doesn't win a single thing, and it's just got a
lot of gnoms and everything. But I still think there's a couple categories it
could. But yeah, Hantsy also had poor things as well. I just
think because my only thing against it, I do think if poor Things wasn't
around, Barbie would win. But I think people might vote on poor Things
is like kind of original in a sense where Barbie, you still they still
brought that world to life, which is really cool, but they had stuff
to work on at least right at least like, oh, make it look
like this, make it look like that, where Poor Things is completely just
out of this world different. So but yeah, that's true. It could
be like my show where that could be the ward where they're like, okay,
we gotta give Barbie something right because I think poor Things will win elsewhere.
So all right, yeah, let's go or see what they got next
here, Sound the Creator, Maestro, Mission Impossible Directing Part one, Oppenheimer
and Zone of Interest. For people that don't know, they just put spoke,
sound, editing, and sink together now, so it's just sound in
general. So that's what this is. So uh s, bubs, I'll
let you start. What are you thinking of sound? Uh? I saw
that I wrote the the on my list, like the Zone of Interest,
but I think I might have just like copy paste the wrong things locked in.
I'm picking off v Onenheimer. I feel like that's like a lock pretty
much like yeah, yeah, okay, Mike. I haven't seen Oppenheimer,
but out of protest, I usually do not like the sound in Nolan movies,
so I've heard good things about the sound and the Zone of Interest.
I'm going for that one. So he is going Zone Interest. Okay,
there you go. I think it's one of the better ones as far as
hearing stuff. There's there's some moments, but you know you'll get there.
So okay, Maddie sound uh man, it's hard to go getting Stoppenheimer,
but I'm gonna actually go zon Zone of Interest as well. Really, what
that's someone that hasn't seen it? What what is like the pitch for why
would that win? Sound over? I'm playing a hunch. I'm playing a
hunch. I've heard some things about the film. I mean again, like
when you're thinking of Oppenheimer, you haven't seen yet either though of interesting?
Yeah right, yeah, so when you think of Oppenheimer, I feel like,
on paper it's an easy win and it's going to definitely rack up awards.
So in that sense, it could just be another one that it cleans
up. But I don't know. I have a sneaky feeling. I'm going
with my guts. Really okay, So I'm going to go with Oppenheimer.
But Zone of Interest should win. It's probably got the best sound design of
anything I've ever seen. Can we hear? Why? Actually you don't.
So for those of you probably have a general idea of what it is.
So it's they live next door to Ashwitz, so you don't see anything that's
happening next door, but you hear things that are happening next door. Oh
yeah, yeah, that's that's a perfect way to put it. Yeah,
thank you, Okay, Yeah, I still I might try to get to
it this week. I just need to set aside him how much talking is
there actually dialogue? Why isn't it Then there's a dialogue. There's plenty of
dialogue from the family and their business. I just got to set time aside
for dialogue movies, not because I'm opposed them, just because you can't throw
those all like, I need to actually read them, right, So her
subtitles not dialogue movies. April, Sorry, I just want to ask April
quickly, do you have a because I know the actress from Anatomy of A
fallows also in that's in that movie. Did did you have like a preference
between the two performances. How would you compare them? I'd say she was
she got more to do in Anatomy of than in Don't of Interest, But
she was really good at both of them. Good for her. I feel
like you're going to see her span in American films very soon then usually like
if you're a big hit in a one, but there are two of those
that's really yeah, so good for her there, what will you Clay?
So uh, I've got a couple of things on this one. First,
you said that she that she might blow up after the Anatomy of a Fall
and what Sandra Huller, right, I think that's her name. That and
Zone of Interest the one weird one where I saw something about it the other
day. Somebody wrote in like a review on letterbox or something, whatever happened
to Sylvia Hooks Hooks and she's the She's the gal from Blade Runner twenty forty
nine. Who's the villain I know happened to her? I looked at her
IMDb. She's been in nothing since, like nothing, so weird she was.
She's like legitimately okay, because yeah, she was really good in twenty
four and I remember seeing her and be like, oh, she's been stuff,
but just like like very like VOD stuff. I think I don't know,
she's weird, but yeah, no, just that was just an observation.
But I think I'm going with a Zone of Interest too, even though
I haven't seen it one because of what April said. And then two I
remember seeing the trailer and the trailers sound was like that grabbed your attention real
quick. And then three, that guy Jonathan Glazer, the director. His
other movie was Sexy Beast. When I watched that, I was like,
Wow, this had some weird sound design. So I just think he's unique
and I'm I'm excited to see what he does with the sound in that movie.
So I guess I'm kind of going with my heart in this one and
just guessing. Oh, that's tough, because I'm just trying to think,
like do do I go with like the technical movie that's like all about clicking
buttons and moving yeah, or like that is a really good thing. Oh
man, that's the feel looking light with you guys here, it's some of
interesting. You're up and high, right, I'll join you on Oppenheimer.
I'll play open higher. I'm not feeling good about it now because those are
some good pitches, but I feel bad about picking something that I haven't seen
for sure, But uh no, those are good pitchure that that made me
at least interested to watch it, even though, like I said before,
I don't have much interest in Hull call World War Two movies anymore. I've
kind of tired them. But I mean there's a good chance Oppenheimer sweeps,
and if that's the case, then yes, it's gonna win this one too.
Yeah, And that's why I don't feel so bad. It's not like,
oh, I'll just pick it. It's just like it could just be
iron. Plus there's a chance we've literally heard this before for many Oscar voters.
If they don't see the foreign films, what's their next gonna be,
Oh, we'll just go to the Oppenheimer, you know. Yea Hansy also
had zone of interest. So there you go. And for like a want
It's not like I'm sitting here like I sounded like I'm really happy for anybody
that just cats shout out to all those sound movies. Those are all all
five of those have awesome sound. Yeah. Yeah, So film editing,
I'll go first and seem like na last. Every time it's taking people's picks
here, I'll go with the Oppenheimer. I think there's just many things moving
around it. You got three different not decades, but timelines as far as
Strauss, the interrogation and then the making of the bomb, to make those
all flow perfectly to the point of like you're literally jumping in between decades,
sometimes within three minutes of each other, and it usually flows pretty well.
At least for me it did, and I don't think there was a complaint.
Most people had like, oh, got confusing here. So for me,
I think you have to be really on part because I think if a
few missteps happen, there's confusion, or it's repetition, or it doesn't flow.
It's like no one's trying to do a twist, but with already presenting
the information. So I'm gonna go Oppenheimer for my Oh sorry, I forgot
to list off the nominations too. Sorry it is now you have a Fall,
The Holdovers, Kills, the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, and Poor Things,
And that's just for me, it's just like all the rest of those.
It's not that they're simple, but it's just like I feel like Oppenheimer's
there's so much more vast than like like Poor Things. I love, but
it's like still from A to B right, it's Bellow and she's on the
table and then Bell to the end of the movie. It's not like Oppenheimer's.
That's where I think i'd be the want and the want and to pick,
so I will go there, April, what is your pick for editing?
I also have Appenheimer Oppenheimer as well. Okay, remember, okay,
my heart is Anatomy of a fall. But I'm going Oppenheimer s Bubs,
Mike. I almost want to say Killers of the Flower Moon, but Oppenheimer,
Maddie, you gotta make us a lock it in. You can win
for someone else. Got a massive point there, you know, Hey,
the last the last category that was nice. That was a nice four to
three splits, that was almost That's one. All right. Now here's where
it's really gonna come down to, stuff like this documentary short a VC is
a book banning the barber of Little Rock Island in between Last Repair Shop,
Naya a web pow. I hope I said that right, April. You
get to start us off first with these what do you pick of a documentary
short one? Have you seen anything in twos? I've seen two of them.
Two of them are in Disney. Plus i've seen the Last Repair Shop
cool and Nina and Wipo nice, which we're both really good. But I'm
going to go with the ABC's of book Banning. Okay, Clay, I'm
going to go with the barber of Little Rock because it's fun to say.
Always go with the best title. I love it, I love it.
You know. It all sounds like it could be like a serial killer too,
like Sweeny. Yeah yeah, April's a Clay the barbershop. Okay,
s Bub's what's your song? I picked twenty days in. I saw that
this was like a favorite some places about like UK documentary, oh, full
documentary, Lost the Point, that's it, Last repair Shop. Then I
saw this, I thought, I, like Mike, I haven't seen it.
I'll go with the book Banning one because it sounds the one I just
based on the title that I most want to see. So, m Maddie,
I'm going at the Last repair Shop, Last repair Shop. Okay,
I agree with kind of Mike's assessment. I'm gonna go with ABC the Books
of Banning because that that I've not heard of any of these, and I
heard them like, okay, that that sounds interesting that one MTV produced one.
I think I read them on like oh wait a second, yeah,
we're locked in, And then Harry said the island in between, so she
gets some big points because no one else has that one, So there you
go. I feel like the last repair shop is a good pick. The
last anything is usually pretty good. I'm trying to think of the last something
that I don't like, and I can't think of once. Yeah, live
action short film, The After Invincible, Night of Fortune, Red White and
Blue and The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. Yeah, Clay, you get
to start us off wile you pick in for it live actually, sure film
My favorite movie last year, Sugar because everyone else loved it. I've missed
this what's your beefigure? Yeah, he's been grinding right. I'm don't you
have like a massive letterbox reviews or something like that about it. I like
Wes Anderson's earlier stuff a lot. I just like, I'm so bored and
annoyed with his newer stuff. It's just not my vibe. I don't know.
I'm with you. I'm with you because I know. I'm so glad
he didn't pick it, because I think they don't pick four things. But
one point, it's not like he was talking about what was the other film
he did last year? Yeah, he's just talking about me. But I
was like, oh please, God, no, like I just have no
interest because I could never say they're bad, they're not well made, but
just like they just feel like they almost are too pretentious for me. Now,
Like I get it, these films look beautiful and I like to grant
pooda pest hot tell, but anythink I'm just I don't know. I just
think I know exactly what I'm gonna get. I know people who before right
there just feel like that a Tarantino where I know what a Tarantino film is.
That's not for me, and I go, Okay, that's fine,
that's like Wes Anderson for me. Now it's like it's kooky characters. It's
all these people are rude, but no one calls them on and oh there's
a tragedy, just not I almost feel like he's like set into this like
style and he like it's expected of him, and so he's like kind of
like he doesn't want to like veer too far away from it, and now
he's really just like going full throat into it. Like ever since grand Buda
Beest to me, he was him perfecting it, and ever since then he's
always tried to reach that point. He never quite seems to so Cadence just
kind of bothered, like they all speak at the same pace with the same
dead pan. It's just after a while, I'm like, okay, yeah,
so I'm missing the I missed in the midst of all that. Did
you make an actual pick? Yeah? That one? Oh, I'm sorry,
wonderful. I'm sure. I love that. I love does that's the
Yeah? First the game? Yeah, what about you? I'm going with
Red, White, and Blue. I really don't know anything about it beside
seeing like a picture of it. But I was like, I don't know,
it's the title that this title that wins. Yeah, that's fair,
Mike, Henry Sugar all the way, I'm sure. Yeah, Sugar,
Maddie, I'm Henry Sugar as well. I'll go Sugar as well. I
don't want because I'm seeing aprol. Are you gonna Yeah, I'm going with
the wonderful story Penny Sugar, your sugar. Hansy's also sugar, So s
bub is maybe a big point. Get her here, but I feel like
it'll just be like but none of those place. Yeah, it'll be something
else that none of us go out here. So okay, let's see what
else has got next to us. Animated animated short film Letter to a Pig
ninety five senses our uniform patrioderm War is Over. Inspired by the music of
John and Yoko s Bobs. They know we're a big pro on animated short,
so I'll let us know what you're what you're thinking here of the animated
short. I'm going with Wars Over again. Like I didn't really know any
about anything about any of these until I was like reading the list, but
this one like popped out to me. I guess as a title at least,
I'm thinking this one. Okay, Wars Over, Mike, how are
you feeling about this? Letter to a Pig? Sounds either extremely adorable or
terrifyingly depressing, So I'm going with that one. Yeah, that sounds like
one of those films where that you've learned about how they slaughter things and you're
like, why do I eat any meat and anything? Or it could just
be about a nice pig. Who knows? Could be Yeah, Maddie,
uh a letter to a pig, Letter to a p Okay, I'll go
Wars Over. I have to, you know, John, my favorite Beatle.
I feel like anything John Lennon is attached, they're gonna get like,
you know, just for some sort of nice we love John, right,
we can't give anything else. So and it's like a good it's it's the
time to the sentiment of like war, we hate war. And I'm sure
these people will make a great speech and stuff like that. Hopefully we see
them. I hope we haven't heard that they're doing that stupid like reduced short
speeches again, right that they're like gonna have like three in a row where
they show us ten seconds. I remember that year they did that. Was
it last year? The year before? They don't do years? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, I don't do that. I've always said the people watching
the oscars and the people that you got, just make them longer. You're
not getting the mainstream people back unless will slapping somebody like they're gone. They're
gone. It's not happening to tease another slap like yeah, we have like
the Rock this year. Oh yeah, I guess Jimmy. It wasn't Chris
Rock, wasn't even the host. It was somebody else. It's oh god,
who who's Yeah, it's like five years. Oh, I know who
is most likely they to hit somebody now though Bradley Cooper. Oh, I
have it, I have it, Killian, I have it. Aaron Rodgers
slapped Jimmy Kimmel one. Yeah if he's there. Yeah, that Rogers is
gonna be there, probably not, No, thank you's on a sound editing
team for Oppenheimer. Yeah. Like I said, I'll go Wars over as
well, April, where you're going for Ani made sure Wars Wars okay,
go clay it to him going with War is over inspired by the music of
John and Yoko, like the full title it's huge and then haansy have Let's
see here is anime Wars over as well, So there you go. So
a couple couple of pigs in there, but h heavy, War is over,
so we'll see what happens al right. Next category here is costume design.
Okay, here's some more back to where we can maybe actually have some
thoughts here. Oh yeah, uh Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon,
Napoleon, Oppenheimer, poor things really stat category to be honest, like that's
one of these, like if any of these won any year, but yeah,
that's sure, and I can see any of these really winning because I
feel like the because I think costume aren't they one of those that just they
have a particular body that just votes for the winners and not the whole thing.
Yeah. Right, So that's where I feel like it's not just like,
oh what did Robert Downey think of you know, Napoleon. It's no,
it's the costume community. So I thought that was all the categories.
Now it's the people who are in that field that vote for it only No,
usually it's them and then everybody, but costumes. It's like something to
do with the Union and Mike, you get to be the one that kick
us off first with this one. It's a costume. Ah. You know
what, just because I think they're gonna want to try and give everything an
award, I'm gonna go with this is gonna be the one Killers of the
flower Moon gets. Oh okay, it's Kills the flower Moon. You're going,
okay, what about you? Like you said, man, this this
category is stacked. Honestly, that's some solid picks. Oh man, it's
just tough your macro break when you can lose by one and be like,
oh, costume design, bit me, I'm gonna go, poor things,
gotta go, poor things. Oh boy, Okay, I don't like it
coming to me because I'm not really decided. Yet let's see here, bart
because like I said, I feel like Barbie could get one, and I
just feel like, where do they throw the one? You know? That's
but this is the costume community, right, so I'm gonna go Poor Things
as well, just because those are some really crazy, crazy outfits. Napoleon
has the historical accurate thing kill the Flower Moon does as well, but I
think there's just less varieties. There's a lot of brown suits, like with
the like the white people, like, all the costumes they wear are just
very just okay, it's an old tiar suit. Barbie is very flashing Napoleon.
I think it's a big style. And sometimes, like when Leem and
I did these, he'd always just pick the oldest movie because I would always
win because just like the historical. But I'll say poor Things just because they're
so unique. But really, I'm not like pulling for anything here. I
think they all look really good here. So April, what about you?
I think this is the one that Barbie gets. Nice, are we okay,
Clay what I'm going with, April? I think this is the one
that Barbie gets that those costumes are awesome, that whole world that they set
up just looks so good. Yeah yeah, plus taking the old costumes from
the toys also making them life size. That that's just fun. It's fun.
Plus just like for Margaret Robbie having the decency that all pressed to her
to wear an outfit for Barbie Carpet, like just that alone. I know
they had nothing to do with it, but that's just like a bonus,
Like, Okay, they cared, And I think it is almost like Barbie
costume that should be destiny to win that one, almost right, that should
be the one Barbie, even if it was not nominated for anything, should
have been nominated one for but uh, spells, where are you on this?
I feel like people of it saying like this is the one Barbie's with
egg for like six months. So that's why I'm going with poor things.
I love I love poor things, all right. And then Nancy also went
with poor things, so got I feel like if we knew the names of
the people who did it, like sometimes you can see like all this person
won like five times and they're eligible this year, so they're gonna probably win.
Yeah. It's like when Craig Frasier or god, why am I Roger?
He didn't win for a while, but then once he won, he
just started to win, like almost a year and stuff. So, okay,
here comes a big one now, cinematography El Condon. Hopefully that's it
kills the flower Moon, Maestro Oppenheimer and poor things. Maddie, you get
to start us off with this one. Who's taking cinematography. I'm gonna go
with Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer, I will be saying the same thing I would say,
that's my one. I think a lot of these look good, but
out of all, the one I would feel strong about is Oppenheimer. So
that's my want and my think as well. April. I'm gonna go with
Oppenheimer. But I really liked El Conde. Yeah, okay, what is
what is Elkonde? I've actually never heard. Yes, it's about either vampire.
It's in Spanish. I think it's not. I think it's Spanish.
I think I remember what this one's about, isn't it? Like I think
it's from Argentina. I think I think. So. It's like it's like
it's like a dictateor like a real dictator that existed, but it's like what
it feels like a vampire? Oh? Interesting? It was really good Yeah,
it's like all all black and pink. It's on Netflix. Yeah,
it's on Netflix. Yeah. I know, like people are saying, like,
yeah, released with like no fair and fair, like it was just
out and they didn't promote it at all. Interesting. That's well, yeah,
because I hadn't heard about it till now, so that sounds pretty cool
and cool. It got in there for like there's tons of other big films
and stuff, but it got in there. So Clay, what you're going
with? I Oppenheimer open, that's bubs. People are saying Oppenheimer. So
I'm going with Killers through the Flower Moon. It's like a crazy Yeah,
there are some shots like if I'm if I'm thinking of like specific shots,
like I'd probably think of ones from like Killers of the Flower Moon faster than
when ones from Oppenheim, even though like I can think of ones from Oppenheim,
but I don't know. I just think of like stuff with like like
with the Fire and stuff and Killers of the Fire Moon, like I just
think of that. So yeah, what about you, Mike h My opinion
may change tomorrow when I see Oppenheimer, but for now, I really like
the poor things cinematography, so I'm gonna go with that. Nice Okay.
There was some really gorgeous shots there. What they did with color and everything,
the black and white to color. A lot of movies this year went
from black and white to color. That was a big sure. Yeah,
okay, and Pansy also had open ims, so s Bubs and Mike potentially
getting the big, big point turner right there, so we'll see. Okay.
Now, I don't know why they didn't include this down below, we're
back to this documentary feature film Twenty Days and Marpole, Bobby Wine, The
People's President, The External Memory, Four Daughters, and To Kill a Tiger,
the sequel to Letters Up Pick. No, I'm joking, that's not
that we don't have. Oh now, let's see, So that's I'm just
trying to think. It's I'm I'm up. I'm just trying to think if
I've had any like I'm trying to like, has anyone said any about anything
about these ones. I'm kind of surprised that Michael J. Foxx documentary ison
in there. I remember that being the big like what this didn't make it?
I'll go I'll go twenty Days, That's what I'll go with. I'll
go with the number title, I'll throw me down for twenty days, so
April, where are you? I also have twenty days in Marple. Okay,
Clay, I'm going with to Kill a Tiger because that's a sweet title.
Yeah, that's Bubbs. I spoiled and it was twenty days. Oh
he's okay, Mike, Yeah, I'm going with that one too. It's
Swart's about Ukraine. It's very topical right now. I think that has a
yeah, Maddie. Yeah, So I'm going twenty days as well. Days
okay, and then Nancy went with twenty days as well. So Clay,
maybe potentially you and that tiger could uh do a big swinger, but you
never know. That sounds like a good match. Clean Tigers. Yeah,
oh yeah, Taylor all you think you can take him down? Yeah?
I love to tigers, Anny Tigers. You think you could take half half
a tiger? Yeah? A baby? Yeah, best original song. It
never went away from American sympathy. I'm just ken from Barbie, what I
was made for from Barbie, The Far Ironside, Flaming Hot and Waza Ziza
A song of my people, Kilos of the flower Moon. April, you
are first what I was made for mm hmm, all right, Clay,
that'd be you next. I'm going with the only one I remember, which
is I'm just ken you don't you remember what I was made for? I
don't remember that one. Oh my, that's the other Bari one where it's
like when Barbie and uh part let's standing to Fdo's ex wife's name again,
like her, Yeah, yeah, they're talking about being a real person everything
like that. I remember that conversation. I don't remember the song. Why
doesn't they played during the montage when the mothers and daughters are playing together the
Barbie Dolls, I don't remember. I think it was a long time ago,
classic straight white male only. I'm just can yeah right, Jesus guilty.
I'll try to be next year like most of the Oscar voters. But
I'm just Clay about you. It's saying like I have, I haven't liked
the Billy Eilish from like since the movie, Like I thought it was like
okay, and then after a movie, I was like, this is the
greatest song of all time. So I'm thinking I'm just kid just for that.
I say this is the greatest song, big big stretch. But you
know, and and I like other Billy, I like, this is like
I didn't think it was bad, but it was just like I had no
no effect on me in the movie. Okay, fair enough, Mike,
agree with that, Bobs. I I really hope I'm just kna Win.
It's the one everyone remembers and Ilish one. It's a good song, but
I just don't think, like I really, I'm just can't go with that
one. If if I'm just kna wins with the r R one from last
year, that's like that's a top tier two years. Maddie, what about
you? I'm rooting for I'm Just Ken, but I'm gonna go what was
I made for as my official pick. Yeah, I'm gonna do that too.
I just feel like it's tough because Alish has already won an Oscar too
before, so I feel like sometimes it does play into it, But I
don't know. I just wonder if they look at it depends what they're voting
for. If they're looking for enjoyment on Artsy, and I think Artsy they're
gonna side with Billie Eilish, so I feel like I'll go with what I
was made for? So Best Original Score American Fiction, India Jones and Dial
Destiny, Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer and Poor Things, Clay,
this is you going first original score? My heart is with Indiana Jones because
once again John Williams delivers. When is he not sorry? Which category is
this? Sorry? Best original score? Okay, thank you. I haven't
seen Poor Things, but that I remember in the trailer, I was pretty
taken with the music. I was like, wow, that's yeah. I
was like, wow, that's interesting. Clear, I'm curious, like,
when you saw the trailer and seen it, do you yeah, do you
feel like, uh, like, what are your expectations? You feel like
it's gonna hit you? You? Are you a bit skeptical? Yeah?
When I am skeptical, I am skeptical. But I'm going in. I'm
going in wanting to like it because I I do like like the Lobster.
I like parts of it. I'm super conflicted on other parts. And then
I do not What was the Barry cue again? One? It is a
cool title? Yeah, yeah, awesome title. I was not a fan
of that movie. And then what else? Favor the Favorite? I've never
seen the Favorite? So I think you like this one the best. I'm
not saying you're gonna love it, like I gave it a four and a
half. But to me, his films I think always for me had a
falling off point before. I really love the concept. I love the setup.
It's always acted well and it's like Wes Anderson, where clearly he has
like a star and a feeling is going for I think with Poor Things there's
just he maybe because he just adds a lot more comedy in there. It
just feels like it fits better at times where it's like, oh, this
is much more of a laughing matter and said that like dark like dark humor.
That can make sure I watch it with other people. I don't want
to watch it alone. I feel like I'm not yes and no just depends
your audience. With my mom, watch with extreme nudy, like you're gonna
see everything of everybody. A lot of people like, so that's why.
Yeah, if anyone that doesn't like that, then don't want to live alone.
And I have a week to do it, So I got to coordinate
something with a buddy or something. But then if I drag a buddy over
into it, it's gonna be like what did we just watch? None of
my friends are into movies as I am, so it's always kind of a
crap. Shoot, I'll go why not. I'll go with Poor Things for
original score because during the trailer I did find that score interesting. Okay,
poor Things play there? What about us Bubs with Oppenheimer? I feel like
I feel like this is the one that's a lock. Honestly, okayph for
you, Mike h Yeah. I love the Indiana Jones score, but it's
repeating from other movies, so that's probably not gonna win. The Poor Thing
score is great in the movie, but I would never listen to that,
like just alone, like without images playing in front of me, be awesome.
But now I'm going with that Oppenheimer. It's Luterary Gordonson, right,
yeah, yeah, I'll go in with him. Yeah, the New Hans
pretty much. John Williams should have kept up that he was retiring until he
won the Oscar and then the day after. Yeah. Not Actually, honestly,
that's not a bad thing. Like I still think my like the pick
I have would have one. I agree, it's that I think whatever I'm
just saying, it's Oppenheimer. I'm gonna come back to that, but like,
I agree that's a lock, just because I just feel like that is
some of the best stuff. Lug Wig is on a different level. But
I wonder if he said he had retired, if there was gonna be maybe
like a thank you Oscar to But he has a bunch right already, so
he's probably okay. So Maddie, what about you? What's she going for?
Score? I'm gonna go Oppenheimer as well. All right, April,
what are you going for? Score? Oppenheimer? Oppenheimer? So good,
so good. Can't you hear the music already? You know? Yeah,
let's see. Yeah, Haansy had Oppenheimer as well. So music in this
New Dune was so awesome, totally different from the first movie. That's exciting,
so awesome. All right, visual effects, I think this is gonna
be a tough one. The Creator, Godzilla minus one, Gardens The Galaxy
Volume three Mission Impossible Dead, Reckoning, and Napoleon. Oh, I can't
who went first? Last time? I can't remember who went first? Used
to your first on visual effects? Now this one, I'm very like like
split on because I think they could give it to Godzilla minus one since that's
the one that's nominated for But then I also feel like Oscar voters like they
don't care about like the budget, the people working on it. So there's
see like one of the shots that doesn't look like as good and bad effects.
So I'm going with the Creator instead. I just I don't know,
I feel like that's that's a different pick than Actually I don't know what the
favorite is for this one, but I don't know if there is. Yeah,
yeah, I don't think it's not like when Avatar comes out, you
just know, Okay, that kind of has in the bag, right,
And I think these are all three very different movies or like they're all different
movies especially, so yeah, what about you, Mike, I feel like,
yeah, with you just reminded me of Avatar, But with the exception
of that one, I feel for the past few years, they've always given
it to like movies that have smaller effects but that are done really well.
So it's between Creator and Godzilla. I'm gonna go with the Creator because I
feel like everyone talks about how they did really well with the small budget they
had for what it is, so I think they're gonna want to reward that.
What about you, Maddie, I'm going to Creator as well. Oh
another creator? Okay, Yeah, I'm gonna go to the creator as well,
just because like I almost agree with some people on the nomination for Godzilla,
where I think that is great for what they did, but there was
multiple times in the film, even my first watch, I go, oh,
that just doesn't look good and it didn't take me out. I can
look past it, but it's stuff where it's just like I think it did
get nominated because didn't get nominated for anything else, and I had that hype
of like, look, how good they did, but technically the Oscar is
not hey, what what did you do with your budget? It's just how
good are you looking? Where the creator had a smaller budget but also never
to me had any shots standout where when oh that doesn't look good or that
doesn't look unpolished or anything like that. So that's where I'm gonna go with
the creator as well. But Pansy is the first one. Let's go minus
one. So she's going against us, April, are you also going against
us? Or you on my career? Yeah, this is my wild pick
up round, So I'm going with Napoleon. Wow, that's the fact that's
such a okay? Is there is there like a motive, like what's the
they like to reward period pieces in this category in nineteen seventeen one a couple
of years ago. So it's I yeah, outside of Outside of Guardians,
which I thought was like perfectly fine, but the other four like totally wowed
me. So it's a tough choice. But the creator, like, I
have my issues with that movie, but it the visual effects is not one
of the issues. Like that. Yeah, man, those visual effects check
ass. Godzilla. I think I have to go with Godzilla. Just for
me. I actually never noticed any and I'm usually pretty critical of that.
I never noticed any of the weird special effects that some other people did,
like some of the bad looking stuff. So I'm going with Godzilla. That
boat scene where they're shooting the mines back in the water, that is my
favorite scene of the last That was, like, I was so jacked up
during that scene. That was awesome. So Godzilla, there you go.
Okay, so different different spread there, so original screenplay. I think these
are gonna be interesting. Anamey of a Fall, The Holdovers, Maestro May
December, and Pass Lives Mike, you get to start us off on both
these categories that don't think are really predictable. I think there's like front Runners,
but there's multiple ones and screenplay always usually too. It's like whenever there's
a surprise, Yeah, it's usually always screenplay, right, So what are
you going with, Mike? To set us up? I heard good things
about Anatomy of a Fall, but man, the screenplay for The Holdovers is
just fantastic. So I'm going with that one as my heart pick because I
really really loved it. Great dialogue and Maddy, is this sorry? Is
this this is best Originals? Yeah, I'm gonna go Anatomy of a Fall?
Oh the Fall? Okay, there, I go. Let me check
what it Handsy had she had an Enemy of the Fall as well. She's
with you there. I am in full agreeance with Mike on The Holdovers.
And I also think because I'm other than supporting actress, which whatever, that's
like a gift whatever. We'll get there. But like we all know what's
happening there. I think The Holdovers is in a bad year where I think
in another year, probably couldn't want a lot more. But I think with
what it is in, I think this could be another way to reward as
far as hey, I don't think I'm gonna get Best Actor. I don't
think Best Director, Picture and stuff, so I think this might be a
way, but it's tough because I heard falls all like about great dialogue.
I don't think maestro. And when I see Past Lives just looking at me,
that's such a tough one too, because that's all that. That's another
category two where screenplay they'll give it to someone like that, where it's like
a first film or a younger filmmaker, like I'm pretty sure didn't Damien Chizzelle
win for Whiplash. I think they want the screenplay and they want nothing else
other than supporting actors. So oh man, you know what, I'm talking
myself out of it. Action, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go pass
Lives just because I feel like they've done that before where it's like they would
love to give them something and it can't be because they didn't get anything the
actor category. I feel like if it got more nominations, it probably could
have gotten this one, but the steam kind of ran out of it right
before the Oscar period. It did, yeah, it did, But you
know, I'm gonna say pass Life just in case because I've heard so many
people like Nolan and Dani be like that was my favorite MOVIEO last year,
So there could be a bigger body of people like that that don't even get
interviewed or talk to, like the directors and writers that say, you know
what, pass Live is pretty great? So I talk myself out of it.
But I think Mike's onto something there. But I think all these have
a chance other than really Maestro. I don't think Maestro even May December.
I think it's fallen quite a bit. But maybe April proved me wrong.
April, what are you picking an enemy of a fall? A fall?
Okay, Clay, Yeah, my I do kind of think anatomy of a
Fall is gonna win. But I'm going with my heart on this one.
Like Mike, I love the holdovers, and I'm picking the holdovers Okay,
s bubs, Yeah, I love the holdovers, But I don't really see
like and I did think the dialogue is good, but I don't really see
people talking about how much they like the dialogue. That do see a lot
of people talking about, like, here's the only thing I hear about anatomy
of the dialogue? Okay, falls, I got a mixture there. Adapted
screenplay, American Fiction, Barbie Oppenheimer, Poor things and the zone of interest
just a murder's row of films there. Yeah, oh boy, Maddie,
you get to start us off. I'm gonna go Oppenheimer for Best adapt to
the Screenplay. Oppenheimer, okay o, and then know what a Hansy have?
She had American Fiction, which I was surprised because I think I've not
seen that from anybody else. But maybe she knows something we don't. I'm
really torn on this one because I think, like we said before, if
if it's an Oppenheimer sweep, then it's gonna be one of those where uh
that that was like Parasite right where it's like before Parasite happened, everyone's like,
oh is they gonna win those best awards everything? And then it was
like winning everything like editing so whatever. Just like it was like, Okay,
anyone that didn't pick Parasite, you're like, oh, I'm fucked now
because last year for everything everywhere, yes, right, that's right, it
started going and it's like it's gonna everything. Yeah, it's ten minutes and
you're like, oh, it's over. And that's where it's like that thing
if I don't pick Appenheimer, and I feel like we're like man, but
the same thing. This is the other one. I thought, like,
is this where they give it to bar because it's also like the Noah and
greta thing like that. Also could just be a cute speech of those two
up there, like husband and wife are talking like there's fun things, poor
things. I don't know why. I just feel like it's not gonna get
it here. But I think like he's won in this category before. American
fiction. I just don't think has the heat and zone of interest. I
only has that heat either. But maybe if they want to give it something,
this is where it is, so you just out of curiosity. Does
anyone know? I don't think there's a favorite here, So American is actually
favored? Is it by who are you looking at? Hands? Yeah?
Bet betting on. I don't know if people like I think for the Rumble
Goo thero was like the second pick or something like that this year. Yeah,
American fiction on the batht I think. I mean that's why I can.
I'd I see a lot of like I don't even see screenshots or clips
from the movie, but like people talk about specific lines and stuff like,
so I'm just gonna lean into the Oppenheimer, uh uh sweep. But I'd
say, like so far, this is the one even more than original.
I feel iffy about this one. I just feel like you go a lot
of ways, because I could see a case for many of them. But
are you April, I've got American Fiction. I really liked American Fiction.
Yeah, what is going on with American Fiction? It's on my listen,
you know this week it's gonna be so I'm excited. I just I don't
know, but I guess I want a BAFTA solo. I watched the first
five minutes of American Fiction on a sketchy website and then a froze. But
I really liked what I saw, but it's not enough to give enough to
give it the award. So I'm gonna I'm gonna go with Oppenheimer. There
you go. If you lose American Fiction, I know that would suck s
bobs. What about you? Yeah, I'm going Offenheimer. I feel like
there's so much dialogue, but at no point was like this like this too
much talking for me? Like, yeah, it's a lot of talking.
Who is the credited because this CBS terrible? Who is the credited writers in
Alpheimer. Uh, pretty sure. Christopher Nolan's one of them because that can
kills the flower Moon Big Year for him. That's so bizarre that he did
killers rewrite and the fact that it came out so late. It was really
really slapping whoever whoever takes he is on there that on IMDb just says Christopher
Nolan, kay bird and then Martin sherwins. So I'm not sure where is
like screenplay and story by But yeah, I feel a bit better because they
could want to do the bunge on whole thing right where it's Nolan at the
end of the night. Like for years everyone said like why is Nolan not
winning Oscar? I remember bunching Home he had like the three. I could
see them doing that with Nolan where it's like writer, director, film,
you know, like they could do that. And tarantels me pissed somewhere because
he's just, man, when's my year? I'm gonna retire? You see
hsing? Fuck man, you gotta give you this award. I'm retiring.
Oh man, Okay, Mike, where are you going with If you would
have asked me four hours ago, I would have said him, I confiction
And if you were to ask me tomorrow, I might say Oppenheimer, But
for right now, I loved the dialogue and poor things, so I'm going,
yeah, okay, nice. I mean, I just love good just
the way that Emma Stone's character talks in that broken English she has, and
that gets better over the course of the movie. It's so good. So
we're just gonna get some message midday after you watch Oppenheimer. Fuck, I
gotta go back. Okay. So now we have animated feature film that is
The Boy in the Hair and Elemental Nomona Cannemona. Yeah, there you go,
Robert Robert Robot dreams Spider Man. Across the Spider Verse, it was
Hansy next she had where was animating here? So she had the Boy in
the Hair and I was after her, and I'm the same thing. I
would have thought for sure in the summer Spider Verse was a lock, but
you never know. But like we talk about things losing steam, like that's
where I feel Spider Verse was. I just feel now because I remember when
the movie came out, I fell alone in saying that I like the first
more. But as time goes on, I bump into more people or hear
more podcasts, where they go, oh, I like the first one.
I don't know if that's because people are talking about it more because the oscars
or just the fact that maybe they've married. I'm not saying that's the right
take. I'm just saying that I feel like it's almost turned. And maybe
it was because the guy was also saying he was gonna retire, so same
thing, like, oh, we gotta give it to him, it's his
last one. But yeah, I just feel like there's been a lot of
heat for the boy in the hair and more than spiders. And also I
think knowing there's a third kind of hurts it because I've done that before in
Golden Geeks two, where you're like, ah, I know there's gonna be
a Batman Part two where everything ever all at once. There's not gonna be
a sequel. So I'm gonna like lean that way. Same thing with Dune.
Like I that's another reason where I was like, oh, part two,
it sucks if it's not as good, because like fuck, I should
get it the first one. But I feel like with part three, go
ah, we'll just give it to part three, and they already gave it
to it, so I'm gonna go with The Boy in the Heron, That's
where I am. So what about you, April, I'm going to Spider
Man. I haven't seen The Boy in the Heron. I missed it when
it was in the theater and now it's not anywhere to watch yet, so
it's no. I don't know how that works with those movies like being on
VOD I felt most Oscar movies are about to be on and Boy and the
Hair and there's like nothing about it coming anywhere. So Clay, Well,
Travis, if they do make a sequel to Everything Everywhere All once, I
really hope they don't miss the opportunity to call it Everything Everywhere All at twice.
That'd just be awesome. But I'm gonna I'm gonna go with Speaking of
sequels, I'm gonna go with Spider Man Across the Spider Verse, which I
also like the first one more. But yeah, I haven't seen I haven't
seen Elemental, Pnemona Robot Dreams, and I was really mixed on Boy and
Hair, and so yeah, I'm going with Spider Man, which I liked
a lot. All Right, that's Bobs. I feel like I'm going Oscar
Roters Brain here they're watching Spider Verse millions of times with their kids over and
over. They secretly hate this movie. So this year, isn't this Ki's
like last movie or something. That's what he said. Later he was like,
Oh, but I might have another Williams strategy. So that's another reason.
Well, that's what I'm saying, Tarantino. You need to stick with
it when you release that tenth film. Don't say fucking all about doing TV
or plays to say you'll never see me again. You better give me an
oscar man. But Mike, who you going with? Yeah? I feel
like with the Spider Verse, they're probably gonna do the Lord of the Rings
thing where they're like, we'll give it to the last one for all of
them. My heart to make the last one. Yeah, my heart is
with Pnemona. I love that movie so much, and I'm so happy you
got nominated. But I think it's gonna be Boy in the Hair, and
just because of Yazaki giving him the opportunity to get the award, I think
you're not going to miss that. Okay, we're pretty split. Mad are
you there to add sir? Or you want me to come back to you.
I'm gonna come back to you after the Best International Film. Let's go
here, International feature film. I owe Capitano Italia, Italy with the oh
you try to pronounce it certain ways doesn't go well. But look, thank
you Japan, perfect days Japan. I can read that. Society of the
Snow, Spain, the Teachers Lounge, Germany in the Zone of Interest,
United Kingdom. So oh sorry, who went first on that last one?
There was it? Oh? That was mean? That was me? So
the April Wu, where are you going for International Feature Film? The zone
of interest? I think that's pretty much. I mean one of these movies
is nominated for Best Picture. Yeah, yeah, I'm unfair when you think
about it. That's what I was gonna say to me. Does anyone have
not zone of interest? I might Society of the Snow just for fun,
but no, okay, I've seen a couple of people throw zone interest or
society this snows like, well, zone's there. I might win here,
but I just feel like, like Parasite, that happened where Parasite it got
the foreign in that? But I just feel like, unless it's a lock
that it's winning a Best Picture of something else, I feel like most people
won't go, oh, well, it's gonna win, Like I think that
was people's thing with Parasite, that oh it'll win Best Porn Film and then
maybe not overall. And that's why I feel like people won't vote against it,
because like, then you feel dumb if it if let's say, Zone
of Interest is your number one, but you're like, oh, probably win
something else, so I won't vote for there, and then wins nothing.
Then you go, oh, man, I just should have voted for it.
So I feel like that an anime film is always a safe bet.
But yeah s, pubs, are you on that as well? A zone
of interest? Yeah? Okay, I'll pull up Pantsy's here. She was
on an interest as well. So Maddie, can you give us your animated
one from the last round and then your international film that invest international? Yeah,
so animated is gonna be a Boy and the heron an international zone of
interest? Zone of interest? Okay, so there you go here alright?
Best director, Jonathan Glazer Zone of Interest, yourgo's anthemos for poor Things,
Christopher Nolan for Oppenheimer, Martin Scorsese for Killers of the Flower Moon, and
Justine Trite for Anatomy of a Fall Clay, What are you going with for
best director. I am gonna go with Christopher Nolan. Mister Nolan, al
right, is that anyone sorry, did anyone not choose a zone of interest
for international film? No? We all want zone of interest. So if
you want to change, got a big point. You never know. I'm
good. I'm good s Bubbs for wait, look categories director. I think
this is Nolan's I feel like Scorsese, he's already announced like five movies a
little late for which everyone said last yeah, Mike, Yeah, it's Nolan's
zero. I feel like he made this movie just to be like, come
on, guys, give you an Oscar already, so I could go back
to making crazy science fiction movies that you won't meet. Yeah, it'll sweep
this year and then we'll get like then by Monday, like Hollywood Observer Tenant
two. You know, I am the protagonist, Maddie, I'm also Christopher
Nolan. Yeah, Fantsy was Nolan. I was as well. I said
this after all, Pheimer. It's like it's just his year. Sometimes you
feel that with a director, it's just it's just time, you know.
It's one of those even I don't think it is, because like the film's
great, but even though it was like a thank you, Oscar. It's
like the amount of films these guy's put out that has like changed the landscape
of filmmaking the past just decade alone, Like this is like even just a
make good for the fucking dark Night. I don't care one says Danny Boyle
and some dog millionaire should not have won to know nine and fucking talks about
that movie here. Yeah, that's the one that no one talks about.
That movie no one cares about. Not no one cares about. I just
be like, in the grand scope of things, she gave movie, No,
they didn't give to dead Patel. He's like he was that movie gave
us. Oh yeah, sure it gives dead Patal, but like that was
the thing and went like nothing else, Like it was not that. And
I'm not saying you need to bump that one out. I'm just saying,
like this was. This is a fucking decade over crime that needs to be
fixed and no one should have had this a long time ago because it was
a guy wearing a bat costume. He didn't want to give it to him.
It's I'm still bitter about it, and he's gonna fucking win this Award
and sucking too all the Oscar voters because he should have won it years fucking
to go Departed moment, Yeah even that, we know what one in twenty
eleven? What was better than Inception? Let's just just take a fucking look
before we do this, Hey, best picture? Sorry? So, so
did he get any other nominations like Interstellar? Inception did not get nominated?
No, done, Kirk's what's the one he want? I don't. I'm
not saying he should have won for Doune Kirk because that like for me,
like I like Dunkirk, but I don't think it was not even anything technical
though, like no cinematography nominations. I think they probably won for that's yeah,
yeah, okay again I like the movie. Does they want to talk
about the King's speech over inception? No? No, I'm talking about king
speech over inception? Like this guy should have This should be his third off
Scars you're talking about now. But no, it's just because they knew how
good he was and they didn't want to give it to him yet. They
want to make him wait, They wanted to make him hungry because they were
worried if they gave it to him one he just make that films the rest
of his life. So look, you did your job, right. He
did a fucking three hour bio pick about a bomb, and like Gesu said,
now, I hope he just does. I hope he fucking makes nightmare
on Elm Street. He's talking about horror films. I hope he makes Nightmare
on Elm Street. And y'all hate it and I love it. All the
dialogue is just undecipherable. Oh yeah, you can't hear Freddy. You just
hear screams. But I'm just saying, fucking Cody Rhodes is year, and
it's Christopher Nolan's year. What you wanted to imaginary to be? But no,
no visual close your eyes and just like it's yeah for three hours April.
Are you do you have any hot takes? No, it's Nolan,
It's no, there we go. It is Christopher Nolan, Christopher by god
Nolan. Watch him not fucking win. Imagine. I was gonna say,
if there was if you guys had anybody, let's say, there was a
surprise, was it, would it be Scorsese? Like would there be anybody
else in here? You would think yours? Yeah? And then just because
yeah, man and I would hate. That would make me hate poor things.
I don't want it. But if I see your ghosts, I love
four things. But if gredit was there, would be gredit over your yourgost
I think yeah, I think so too. So best supporting actress Emily Blunt
and Oppenheimer, Daniel Brooks in the Color of Purple America for Our and Barbie,
Jody Foster Naiad and then Divine Joy Randolph in The Holdovers kind of same
thing. Does anyone have a take that's not Randolph? She's like won every
award known to man this season. It's a solid category though they're all.
Did anyone hears Yeah, okay, Yeah, that's what I've heard. Yeah.
Both the performances in there are like they hold the movie together. And
it's very very interesting, like talks about a thing you don't think about,
like professional swimming in the ocean. I recommend it's very interesting. I don't
think about professional swimming at all, a little on the ocean. So like
in the nominations, like I feel like I hadn't heard a single person talking
about this movie, like until it got nominated. I heard a lot of
Oscar podcasts I listened to kept talking about Naiad as like a potential sleep when
it came out as festival. Yeah. Yeah, And I was like,
I don't see it, like I don't feel mass people talking about it,
but I had enough people that for some reason like that, I'm not saying
it's back and I've heard it's better than I expected, because I don't even
seem think it seems like, oh this is like a like an out there
pick. I just haven't really heard of it. Yeah, so yeah,
she's getting that. She's one of those actresses. Good for her. You
just she just gets to sit there and fucking knows that she's winning like that.
That must be nice. You just know your night set going to kick
back, gets some good food. Supporting actor, she can do what Pedro
I thought he was doing the other night. To Hope you you go,
Well, no, I was gonna say, to Hope it's an early one,
but that's definitely yeah, Well it might yeah, well no, you
should start with supporting actress so they might give it. They might. I
feel like they start with actor and I'll give away. Is it always first?
It's always first? Really? I just was okay, there you go,
it's always first. Sterling K. Brown American Fiction, Robert de Naro
kills the Flower Moon Downey, Junior Oppenheimer, Ryan Gossling, Barie and Mark
Ruffalo poor things. I just love the meme I saw laugh last week after
the Sag where it's like anytime they say Robert and then Robert den Arrow just
like, but I mean, I do the same thing. Does anybody else
have a take that's not Junior in this one? I'm hoping I'll be proven
right about it tomorrow, so I'll with me if if Robert you're Cody rose
Rest thirty just look interjected, He doesn't. Yeah, no, we just
I just watched it again today, and man, like, he is just
so good in that movie, and it's just like, I like, let
me look at this category, like I like all these other people, and
I like Mark Ruffalo a lot. To Naro, I thought he was good,
but I just don't think any of them are like close to down in
this one. It's not like supporting actress. Oh there's some other good ones
in this one. It's just like to me, it's like a it's a
ballpark runaway miles between all of them. You know, Gossling, but I'd
never get to him for Barbie Ruffalo and poor Things. I did not like
him when movie started. I was like, why is he nominated? Should
have gone to the focus insane. But then as the movie went on and
he started to get crazier, I was like, okay, okay, I
see it now. I think the de Niro pick is such a miss,
Like he's fine in that movie, but he's not. He's not in it
that much and we've seen him do this kind of thing so many times.
I really think it should have gone to the kids, the kid from Holdovers
for that last slot. Absolutely, I'm with you. I like a lot
of Unfortunately, de Naro and Arkans like last and not to say anything is
ARCS just passed. I feel like their last like two to three nominations have
been just like they're pretty similar, you know, And I'm somebody liked Irishman
a lot more than people. But I love that Yeah, as the resident
kills a flower Moon hater with you, Clay, I'm with Younaro should not
have been that kid that that guy deserved as for way more first performance,
I just found him. Yeahs like theater, Yeah like that. He he
should have been there. But I get it, like I'm not trying to
be like Denar is not gonna be around forever, right, so it's like
give him his flowers now. So guys, Mark Man he was He's so
funny comedy man. Like, it's like a performance you've never seen from him,
just yeah, character, and he just nailed that. It's such brilliant
casting. Also, him in the last act is like kiss, Oh my
god. I would take Like, I know it sounds obnoxious, but I
would take a full hour half movie just that Ara. I know he's a
piece of ship put. I would just love to see that performance so like
it just it's so good. He definitely deserves the nom, I think because
it is so comedic. He goes through that's for sure. Yeah, he
goes through a journey. I think it's so comedic. I don't know if
they would have ever actually given him this award because it's just it's very like
cheesy in a good way. But I'm glad he just went full man And
that's gonna be one of my fair performances. All just the reaction when she
slaps him, just that little like like that little tidbit like that three seconds
of just his reaction just quickly. Did you watch Oppenheimer in one sitting.
Yeah, because we were just six so we were had No, we're just
on the couch, So yeah, that was time. I think it was
the third time. So I'm nowhere near your numbers, Maddie, but yeah,
still I have rate it again. But yeah, it's still just like
a five and five. I just love them, man, I got no
cons. I can't really think about it. So here's a tough one.
I hear at most of the biggest categories. I feel like this is the
one that's still like contested. Best Actress Annette Benning Naiad, Lily Gladstone for
Kills the Flower Moon, Sandra Horror, how do you say that name me?
In April you said, I don't know, Sandra Holler Holder Sandra Holler
for Anatomy Fall, Karrie Mulligan for Maestro, and Emma Stone for Poor Things.
So I feel like this is a like GV Discord like division right here
between the two. So who oh right, I've just been doing it all
a little bit. So I'm gonna start with you, April. Who are
you going with for the best actress? You think in your wand I've got
Lily Gladstone for both. I love Emmastone, but I think it's Lily Gladstone.
It's gonna get that this show. Okay, I will, I'll counter,
I'm gonna go. I want Emma Stone for both. I think it's
tough because one's won the Bafta and one's won the SAG, and usually it's
like, if you win both, it's a lock. So this is one
where it's a thing. Now. Most people have been like, well,
if you look at the SAG actors, I think the past ten only two
have not won, like the actor and the Oscar. Right, But the
last time that happened was when Glenn Close. I remember Glenn Close the whole
year, everybody fucking and I watched That's not stupid that meh filmed the Wife,
and I thought it was fine because everyone told me Glenn Close was gonna
win the Oscar that year. And I love Glenn Close. He's like,
oh, great for her, and she won the SAG yet da da da.
But when it came to Oscars, you know who won. It was
for Olivy Colman for the favorite. The last time this surprise happened was for
a your Gros movie. And I feel the reason I'm picking this is because
every time actors talk about this, like, oh, it's Emma's best work,
I'm so proud of her. I knew her when she was eighteen.
To look at her now, it reminds me so much of when Walkinge Phoenix
won everybody, when it was like, oh, that's a controverst movie.
Everybody was like, Walking so good. I remember Kate Blan Shedder talking to
her about her Oscar and no, She's like, but walk in this year
is so great, Like it felt like such a force thing. It wasn't
forced, but I think it's a fifty one forty nine of who could take
it, and I want it is just because I just feel again for me,
it's not Lily's performance. It's purely a the quality of the stuff she
was given. I think she need to be in that movie more. And
when someone might look at the leading actresses, which doesn't matter, right because
fucking Anthony Hopkins won for twelve minutes in What Is It in Science of Lamb,
so screen time doesn't matter. But I'm just saying, if you start
to go okay when you're really tough, because I think it is really close,
I feel like it is more Emma as a lead actress, but you
never know. And I hope if Lily wins that we see her in a
bunch of stuff. I hope it's not one of these people that wins and
then that's it, you know, like we don't see like when we saw
the person from uh what was the movie? Not prosper it was. It's
that super long title, right, it's like blank the story of oh Man,
it's moniques in it. Yeah, she won the Sporting actress, same
things like oh she'll be around, the same thing with Divine Randolph. Like
I feel like there's people that they're in small role as a whole career.
They get a big role and then they win something and you don't see them
ever because they only were cast for that certain role. I don't whether Lily
wins or not. I don't want to say it happened. She's great and
I want to see her a bunch more stuff. But for me, I
just give the edged Emma just because of the quality. For me was more
that I had issues with Kilos and the character just writing wise and what they
did. But I'm this is one that I'll pick Emma, but I'm not.
It's it's a coin flip. Right now both have won so much,
so where you play on the Best Actress. Yeah, I'm kinda I'm kind
of with you. And and before Sandra is she's German, right, Okay,
I think it's I think it's Hula Hula. He's walking back now,
so he got nervous. Well, my mom my mom is like fluent in
German, and I hear her speaking German all the time, and I think,
I think that's like hula. I think I don't know. We're gonna
find out next week, but I think I'm with you, Travis for the
same reasons, like lilligal Edstone is awesome in that movie, but I don't
think like she doesn't. It doesn't seem like she's in it that much.
And I just have all my similar script issues with that movie. So I
yeah, I'm going with I'm a Stone, even though I've not seen that
movie, so that's kind of fraudulent, but I continue the time. Aunty
all also want Lily Gladstone. She's on a side, So Spol's where are
you on this this one? I'm like really torn about because like, I
do want Lily Gladstone to win, but then I also see like the like
Emmstone winning a lot of the other like awards and stuff, so and I've
gone with like the opposite pick. But since this like it's so down the
middle, just go with the one I want to win. So Lily Claud's
soon going with Lily. Okay, Mike, what you're going with? Battle
of the Stones? Yeah, I'm gonna go. First of all, I
just want to say Terry Mulligan was the best thing about Maestro, and I'm
happy to see her there. I agree. I've found to go with Emma
Stone for the wind. I think Emma Stone. Well, Maddie, you
got to be the tiebreaker here because it's three three right now, so we're
mixed, probably much like the voting body. What are you going with?
I'm I'm really rooting for Emma, but I'm a kind of a choose Lily
to win it. But yeah, I am rooting for em but me,
yeah, they're both worthy, but my heart wants Emma. But yeah,
I think it's a little Lily. Yeah, only, oh, go for
it. Mine's a separate sidebars. I was just gonna bless you. I
was just gonna say I really wish Carrie Mulligan hadn't done that weird. What
was it like transatlantic accent that she does, and especially when she started yelling,
because I agree, I think she's the best part of that movie.
I think there are moments where she's awesome, but man, there are moments
where she gets upset and she's doing that accent. I was just like,
I can't take this seriously, just cracking me up. There's some stuff that
feels like tropic thunder, like in a way where it's just like thunder.
Yes, I wish Bradley Cooper would show up in like his old person makeup
to the Oscars. That would just be the light sing on the cake like
that. Like that year what's his name? Donald Glover showed up as like
the Michael Jackson character from his showed at the Creepy. Yeah, creepy he
addresses that, so wow, that's creepy. Yeah. No, Because I
just speaking of Carrien mulligan because I remember she was dominated for prost the Young
Woman. I thought she should have won for that because like, look,
France mcdorm won for Nomad Land. No, I don't think so. And
that is also another instance where Viola won the SAG and she she didn't win
that. From my Raine's Black Bomb, so again only happens a few times,
but we never know. But yeah, France and France Story won before,
like just the same thing every movie. She's always good, but she
does the exact same thing every movie and it just sucks. I don't know
if it's like last time, but I just feel like I don't know if
Carrie's ever gonna get a chance to I shouldn't say that she's got nominated again,
right, so she'll she'll win one year. I just think she's so
prompted. Yeah yeah, well well unfortunately, but Glenn Closes never won though.
Still, so that's the good thing. I don't want to be you
knew Glenn Close, because then she's just Glenn Close. So oh man.
And then finally we are at the final one here or no final two sorry.
Best Actor Bradley Cooper from Maestro, Colman Domingo for Rustin, Paul Gimoni
for Holdovers, Killian Murphy for Oppenheimer, and Jeffrey Wright for American Fiction.
I'm just gonna start out by saying I think it's Killian. I think people.
I think there was a time where I don't know, maybe Paul was
talked about, but I just feel like it's just kind of that discussions died,
and I know that doesn't mean anything right. Discussion can still be with
the voters and the bodies. But I just feel like he led that film.
It's gonna be winning Best Picture. I just think there's something too of
like Killan Murphy's whole career has just been like this character actor. I think
there's a really good story to it. So I don't know. I just
feel like some people are trying to make it out like it's Lily versus Emma,
where it's really close. I just don't think it's that close. Maybe
I'm wrong, may so I'll also go that way, but uh, I'm
going Killian April where you won Best Actor. Yeah, I'm with you on
that one. I think Killian's gonna it. Killian Clay yep. Also,
even though I love Giamatti, that's like the performance that's more near and dear
to my heart. But Killian Murphy is fucking awesome, Like I would watch
him do that for five more movies. He's so good, five more often
the best Picture. I think I gotta do this again. I gotta make
together. He teased the JFK. That's his next movie he did, Yeah,
who's that young hot start? That'd be great, And even just the
way Einstein like works like Nick nick Fury in that movie sometimes where he just
appears out of nowhere, like, oh yeah, just do it, get
them all back, you know. And that's as much as I love Giamatti,
I just feel like Killian's performance is like a bit more testing, you
know, Like I feel like he has to do a bit more than Giamati.
But I don't know, s Bubbs, where are you? Yeah,
I'm going to Killian Murphy, Killian Mike. So I'm just reminded myself that
of the time that everyone thought Chadwick Boseman was a locked win, the point
where they even pushed that award to the end because they thought they're gonna get
him a send off, and that Anthony Hopkins out of nowhere that was sleeping
at the time one of the most embarrassing moments in Oscar history. And that's
saying a lot. But this year, I think I'm going with Killian,
even though I haven't seen the movie. I'm hoping I'm going to be right
tomorrow. So I think so too. Sorry Hopkins was sleeping at h at
the Oscar. Well, it's we accept the award on his behalf. They
cut to a seat, just passed the fuck out gip about that. No,
it is a hole. Yeah, it was shitty the way they did
that because it was just where he was living at his home. It would
be nighttimes, it's like he's probably sleeping, he's not there, and then
the next day he just has an acceptance speech on like Twitter, like,
oh I thank everybody and shout up to Chadwick. Was like it was just
all like this thing sucked, man, Like this not good at all.
So oscars sucks sometimes awesome yeah again, Like and it's because like I love
Chack with the performance. I don't think either him or Hopkins say it's gonna
be performances that I talked about for generations. But it's the same thing.
I like, then just give like I would have went Chatwick in that.
It's not like to me, I don't think Hopkins gave such a performance where
I feel like he needed to get this one. But you know what,
do I know Maddie complete in the Sicilian seven because that's also mister Killian Murphy,
mister Killian Murthy, because yeah, that's Rancies as well, so we're
all going killing one of the few. I think there's only two categories where
we're I guess three categories where we're all locked on one person anyone. Curiosity,
yeah, no planning to it. Yeah that was on Netflix too,
right, I think wrong, it is, Thank you Netflix. Those are
the eas those are the first off the list. But I really don't have
much interest. I don't know why, just because like with biopics and stuff,
but because it's Coleman Domingo, that one I will watch before Ostros because
I'll just watch that dude and anything. So finally, Best Picture, the
American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Barbie, The Holdovers, Killows of
the Flower Moon, Maestro Oppenheimer, Pastalize, Poor Things, and the Zone
of Interest. So April starts off on the final category. What do you
think is taking the big one? I think it's gonna be Appenheimer. My
heart is still with Killers of the Flower Moon, but I think it's gonna
be Appenheimer. Okay, there you go. So I was gonna ask you
with your heart on director, because I don't know if igot that is,
where would you go for director? Then for your want, not your prediction.
I think I think Nolan deserves it. Yeah, okay, that's fair,
the good old Split, Okay, Clay Best Picture, I'm thinking ant
Man in the Wasp, Quantum Aeimer, the Big Sneak in Johnson Angels accepts
the Warren Disney dies in Best Picture for the budget was so high and he
had to grease the wheels, right right, yeah, subs Oppenheimer, Mike,
uh just point out this is I think, in general, probably the
best ten Best Picture nomies I've seen in quite a while. Like I don't
know the ones I've seen. I wouldn't give any of them under like an
eight point five out of ten, so that's a damn good rate. But
yeah, Oppenheimer, I think it's it's it's a big one, so I
think it's gonna win. Maddie, it is, Appenheimer, it is times
Doolen's time. Maybe let's go better be with the amount of times you saw
that movie. How many times have you watched it, Maddie, I'm not
sure. Plus yeah, well I watched it in theaters four times. At
home at least like probably like two times. I'm actually I'm planning about watching
him this week with I would have Buddy a nice rewatched before the Oscars,
Yeah, and then put on Poor Things right after. I will not the
same night, but I'm planning on watching Four Things too, Like there's a
bunch that I that I want to rewatch, so yeah, yeah, yeah,
Ancy at Oppenheimer and I have Oppenheimer as well. If there was any
So that's another one. So we have all four categories. Well, if
there's any surprise, d you see, like what would be your top if
there was one to like, sneak it out? Let me look good,
Barbie, do the big sneak Barbie? Somehow sneak it out? You imagine
could you imagine like crazy sneak it out? I'd go like hold Over,
Yeah, I'd say it's like a crazy like like it doesn't win like any
of the other ones, and I just yeah, that's my heart picture,
especially if like if they gave Oppenheimer like every single other one and then like
Holdover just sneaks out of this picture zone of interest isn't crazy either, because
like there's a stat of like how much of the foreign bond now is voting
on these, So it wouldn't be like crazy. I feel like the Holdovers
could do it like what green Book did that one year. Everyone was shocked
that one on so I could maybe, but no, Yeah, like I
said, I want Barbie just for surprise, just to see what everyone's reaction
would be. You said it, Yeah, Like I kind of like I
feel like that, like Barbie, like it wins none of the other ones,
and it's like, wow, they snubbed it this year, Like I
can't believe this, Like what's the what's the what's another song that's not either
the two Barbie ones like that one, just like Curious, I would love
to be a big mix up to that. They say it and they get
up stage, just like the Lala Moonlight things like it's Barbie Wanted. It's
written in like the Pink Barbie spot and it's gonna slap slap credit gig.
They're gonna break the rules and they're gonna give it to Barbenheimer. That's gonna
get to the box office achievement of where and they just they split it in
half. I guarantee you they don't like they don't do it, but the
SAG you can tie in the SAG Awards. It's happening for if the Oscars
did that, I guarantee you they would pull that off and try and be
like, oh my the Olympics, or they were both. The two guys
are like really close and they both they shook hands and decided do a to
split the gold. We make a to see which one's best. Yeah,
man, I would just love the chaos pickup Barty just to see what would
happen to everyone. That movie would become the most hated movie of all time
now, like I think other movies, hold Over RS goes down to like
a two point one. Like the only movie I think that would be worse
than Bari winning would be my show because I think their fucking ship ship everyone
hate. Yeah, at least with Barbie, it's like, ah, like
we love Gret and stuff. After Brady, who's been in a week talking
about his naked dad and he's fucking being over the Oscar, Like everyone hate
this man. He never work again, but he'd have an oscar right over
and all, and so it's really for stars born. Yeah yeah, yeah,
give it to you that sorry here is but well there we did it.
We did it. Thank you guys very much for joining better than me
