Speaker 3: then we got a little bit of forest green going
Speaker 3: on and the like that.
Speaker 2: I like that a lot.
Speaker 3: It's very Lumberjack esque.
Speaker 2: I like it. I love it.
Speaker 3: God, thank you, you're handsome. Thank you you really are.
Speaker 2: What is what is a handsome guy? Like you been
Speaker 2: watching lately?
Speaker 3: And you know, I had to get prepared for this.
Speaker 3: I watched a lot of Academy Award nominated films, so
Speaker 3: I figured I would shy away from those since we're
Speaker 3: going to talk about so many of them. But a
Speaker 3: recent one that I did watch, I watched the newer
Speaker 3: Robert Zemeckis film that's on Netflix now and it's called
Speaker 3: Here with Tom Hanks and Robin Wright.
Speaker 2: Oh, I've been sort of meaning to watch that as well.
Speaker 2: Tell me what you think.
Speaker 3: I wasn't from the preview. It wasn't something that I
Speaker 3: was like, Oh, I need to see it. It looked
Speaker 3: a lot like the CGI and stuff was going to
Speaker 3: throw me off because they're aged throughout the year, so
Speaker 3: it's when they're younger.
Speaker 2: And I was just like, oh, I'm just going to
Speaker 2: be thinking about one perspective, so that's kind of.
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. So, yeah, it was a different concept
Speaker 3: where the entire film shot from one camera shot that
Speaker 3: is like looking in the living room of this house.
Speaker 3: And the house was like a colonial so it was
Speaker 3: like over one hundred years old, and so it wasn't
Speaker 3: just Tom Hanks and Robin Wright. It was a lot
Speaker 3: of different families that lived in this house over the
Speaker 3: years and the different struggles and the you know, the
Speaker 3: different great moments that these families had. I thought it
Speaker 3: was really well done. That's actually And it went all
Speaker 3: the way up different like political like periods and went
Speaker 3: all the way up into like COVID and it just
Speaker 3: like it was. It was crazy, dude. It got a
Speaker 3: little bit Tree of lifey for me because they went
Speaker 3: way back in time, like yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that was in one of the previous
Speaker 2: maybe or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dinosaurs, So that's how they started it. And I
Speaker 3: was like, oh god, I don't know if I'm.
Speaker 2: Like this is it linear the whole way?
Speaker 3: No, they go they pop back and forth. They pop cool,
Speaker 3: but it it surpassed my expectations quite a bit. I
Speaker 3: ended up really liking it. I even got kind of
Speaker 3: emotional at the end. It was it was a really
Speaker 3: well done film. And Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Kelly Riley
Speaker 3: from Yellowstone, Paul Bettany. So yeah, it's uh, it's definitely
Speaker 3: worth checking out. And it's it's currently on Netflix, so
Speaker 3: I would I would see it on there before renting
Speaker 3: it or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's cool. Nice. Yeah, yeah, that's definitely what I
Speaker 2: intend on checking out at some point.
Speaker 3: You should.
Speaker 2: I love it. You should.
Speaker 3: It is worth watching. What have you been watching?
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to remind me because I can't remember
Speaker 2: if I've talked about this one. If I have, I
Speaker 2: can pie of it. Have I talked about your cordially
Speaker 2: invited yet?
Speaker 3: You have not one.
Speaker 2: I didn't think I had, but I couldn't quite.
Speaker 3: It's a pretty new one. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is on Prime right now. I believe
Speaker 2: it's where I watched it. This is a movie with
Speaker 2: Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell. Really great. They each have
Speaker 2: a family member who is getting married and they have
Speaker 2: this like small island that is very important to them
Speaker 2: and their families and has been for years and years,
Speaker 2: and so the kind of fun thing is it's Will
Speaker 2: Ferrell's daughter, but Reese Witherspoon's sister, and then like things
Speaker 2: happen and they have to like share this place to
Speaker 2: have weddings because there's a snapho, right, and comedy ensues
Speaker 2: from there. His daughter is Geraldine Viswanathan, who we love,
Speaker 2: who we've seen in so many things. She's so fun.
Speaker 2: I love her. She's really great in this. And then
Speaker 2: Meredith Hagner was the person who was Reese's sister, and
Speaker 2: I don't remember really seeing her. She was hysterically funny,
Speaker 2: really really good. Good that Jimmy Tatro guy was her
Speaker 2: like fiance, who's really funny. You'd recognize him. He's been
Speaker 2: in a bunch of stuff. This movie really surprised me.
Speaker 2: It was kind of rom comy and dumb at moments.
Speaker 2: You know, It's what I think others would say. I
Speaker 2: loved it every second I was in. But I also
Speaker 2: think it's just genuinely super super funny. I was like
Speaker 2: gut laughing at several points throughout it. I think it's
Speaker 2: really well done. Love I mean, we all love Reese
Speaker 2: and Will, so like it makes sense. Yeah, but this
Speaker 2: was like a legitimately really funny, really cute movie. It's
Speaker 2: got a couple of heartfelt moments. I was a little
Speaker 2: worried it was just gonna be like a straight to
Speaker 2: streaming type movie. You know.
Speaker 3: They're kind of kind of made me think of when
Speaker 3: I saw that. I think I'll watch this one like
Speaker 3: a few times. I really enjoyed it a lot.
Speaker 2: I think it has a little bit more depth to
Speaker 2: it than that, and I really liked it, so I
Speaker 2: recommend it. I think you would really enjoy it. It's fun.
Speaker 3: I love Will Farell. I've watched pretty much every dude.
Speaker 2: He's funny in this too, and kind of like a
Speaker 2: different a little bit of a different character. But it's
Speaker 2: it's really good. And and Reese is just always great too.
Speaker 3: She's a delight.
Speaker 2: She's so funny, Like she's such a great actor that
Speaker 2: I feel like I forget that sometimes, you know, but
Speaker 2: genuinely hysterical. So, yeah, check out, you're cordially invited. It
Speaker 2: was really fun. Yeah, I'll have you been streaming anything?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so my house has gotten completely rocked.
Speaker 2: Get into that.
Speaker 3: I'm just getting over it. And over the weekend, I
Speaker 3: was hit pretty hard with it. But I watched the
Speaker 3: SNL fiftieth let's.
Speaker 2: Talk about amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you did get a chance to check it out.
Speaker 2: I did. Yeah, I think I watched it after the fact,
Speaker 2: but it confused me a little bit that it was
Speaker 2: on Sunday not on Saturday, which seemed weird. I mean,
Speaker 2: I get it, but I was like, what is happening
Speaker 2: on Saturday?
Speaker 3: We saw that they were doing a big concert. It
Speaker 3: was like all like the musical things for like, it
Speaker 3: was like a lead up to it.
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't see that was that fun? Did you?
Speaker 3: Was fun? I didn't watch the whole thing, but bits
Speaker 3: and pieces. Yeah, there was a big The big viral
Speaker 3: thing was that post Malone joined the other members of
Speaker 3: Nirvana and they did smells like teens. Fe was pretty crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I was in the midst of feeling like
Speaker 3: butt from the flu. I got a text from our
Speaker 3: buddy Brandon and it just said goulay and it reminded
Speaker 3: me that I was missing and fiftieth I missed like
Speaker 3: the first fifteen minutes of it, but I got in
Speaker 3: during the The Lawrence Welk Show, where Will Ferrell. I
Speaker 3: was doing his Robert Goulay.
Speaker 2: Imprecious, so happy they brought that back to that Krysten.
Speaker 3: Way De nice character has killed me with the little hands.
Speaker 3: Oh it's so good dude. But yeah, it was pretty awesome.
Speaker 3: So many huge stars were there in the audience and
Speaker 3: on stage, Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Paul McCartney
Speaker 3: closed it. Adam Sandler's song was so good.
Speaker 2: I loved that. Yeah, man, that was really great.
Speaker 3: But apparently Dana Carvey got hit with the flu so
Speaker 3: he had to miss.
Speaker 2: I was wondering, Okay, I was. I figured there had
Speaker 2: to be a story because I was like, where's he?
Speaker 2: I'm sure he would have came and their podcast all
Speaker 2: the time, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dan Ackroid wasn't there, which was a bummer because
Speaker 3: like all the original folks were still there that are
Speaker 3: still with us, and Bill Hayter was a big I
Speaker 3: couldn't believe he.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's Bill Hayter doing? That's interesting?
Speaker 3: I don't know. So those because everyone was there, it
Speaker 3: was very noticeable the people. But one of my favorite
Speaker 3: things that happened is when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler
Speaker 3: were taking the questions and Ryan Reynolds, It's like, Oh Ryan,
Speaker 3: how are you great? Why what have you heard?
Speaker 2: Great?
Speaker 3: It was so good spot on.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 3: It reminded me of when Paul Rubins had his whole
Speaker 3: deal where he he had gotten arrested for the theater
Speaker 3: and then his next public appearance he just like heard
Speaker 3: any good jokes lately. It reminded me a lot of that.
Speaker 3: Not to that extent, of course, but I hear you.
Speaker 3: But let's make a comedic moment out of probably some
Speaker 3: pretty stressful times. Yeah, yeah, but I loved it. I
Speaker 3: loved every minute of it. I kind of watched another
Speaker 3: three hours of it. I loved that show, have loved
Speaker 3: it since I was a kid, so I was I
Speaker 3: was super into it.
Speaker 2: I really liked that show. I for some reason, it
Speaker 2: was It's never been like appointment viewing for me. I
Speaker 2: don't really know why. It doesn't make a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: I really loved it too. I thought it was really fun.
Speaker 2: I've like recently got into more with the podcast, and
Speaker 2: I think I read an SNL book and watched that
Speaker 2: movie and stuff. So a lot of the like Saturday
Speaker 2: About Saturday Night, which I really liked. I don't know
Speaker 2: if I talked about that on here yea, but man,
Speaker 2: what a fun movie. I really enjoyed that, agreed, But yeah,
Speaker 2: I just thought it was super fun. It was it
Speaker 2: was very clear that everyone was having a pretty great time.
Speaker 2: There was some microphone issues, which I like kind of understand,
Speaker 2: but I'm also like, we mike hundreds of live events
Speaker 2: every day with like a ton of people, why can't
Speaker 2: we do this here?
Speaker 3: It's my Rudolph one was the worst.
Speaker 2: Scratchy the whole time. And yeah, it was really weird.
Speaker 3: I loved that that how they got Mike Myers as
Speaker 3: Linda Rich.
Speaker 2: I mean, all the bits were really funny, I thought.
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, they were like if you're a fan,
Speaker 2: you're gonna love these, right, They're all kind of fan service.
Speaker 2: But I love that. I think it's so great. I
Speaker 2: loved all the tributes. I'm with you. I also loved
Speaker 2: at the end, you know, they have everyone on stage.
Speaker 2: At the end, they showed like shots of the audience.
Speaker 2: There was like four people out there stuff. Yes, everybody
Speaker 2: was out there, which was really fun. Uh yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know. The vibe was just great and a ton
Speaker 2: of these people are getting older and you know, it
Speaker 2: just felt like, oh, hell, this might be the last
Speaker 2: time we see Garrett Morris, like I didn't even know
Speaker 2: he was still alive, to be honest, and all these
Speaker 2: people who are just so great, and yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I thought it was I thought it was really fun.
Speaker 2: I was personally happy I got to watch it without
Speaker 2: commercials because it was long.
Speaker 3: Oh sure, it was very long. Yeah, but it was
Speaker 3: like the only time of the day that I was
Speaker 3: actually up. I slept the entire day perfect, so so
Speaker 3: you were like, I was good and then I fell
Speaker 3: asleep for another twelve hours after Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, I thought it was really fun and
Speaker 2: they seemed like they did a great job and all
Speaker 2: the things you said, I was I was just saying, like,
Speaker 2: where the hell is David Spade and then he came around,
Speaker 2: you like all the things right, And I was wondering
Speaker 2: about Dana Carvey, so that that makes sense though I
Speaker 2: didn't even think about so I'm smart. Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 2: I thought it was really fun and I could see,
Speaker 2: you know, watching clips of that later and everything, like,
Speaker 2: I thought they had some great bits, and yeah, it
Speaker 2: was fun. I liked it. It was super fun with
Speaker 2: you also Eddie Murphy playing Tracy Morgan. So fun with
Speaker 2: Tracy Morgan right next to him, was really great. Got
Speaker 2: of one it was so good.
Speaker 3: It was amazing, really really funny.
Speaker 2: He's like, I don't get it, you know, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't really say it really really fun. So yeah,
Speaker 2: well what do you say about you? We do? If
Speaker 2: you plug runs here?
Speaker 3: I think we should.

Speaker 3: do usually do a top five draft that pertains to
Speaker 3: the movie we're talking about, and for this episode, we're
Speaker 3: not doing a movie, but we're talking about Oscars, and
Speaker 3: so we thought, let's do our top ten best director
Speaker 3: Oscar winners.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 3: Nice, We're gonna do top ten.
Speaker 2: Good time, and they're all pretty good movies. Yeah, as
Speaker 2: you would presume.
Speaker 3: You would assume as much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, if I seem weird, I feel like I've
Speaker 2: had to sneeze for about five minutes and it's just
Speaker 2: just so if anybody's watching the video and it's like
Speaker 2: he seems a little extra twitchy today, you know why.
Speaker 3: This is also the most I've talked in like four
Speaker 3: or five days, so I feel like I'm a little
Speaker 3: tongue tied as well. So we're not at our best
Speaker 3: right now. Yes, just bear with it.
Speaker 2: It's pretty close to our best though, We're honest it
Speaker 2: It means it doesn't get much better what it is,
Speaker 2: but you know, uh, it's I don't know into best
Speaker 2: Supporting Actress.
Speaker 3: All right, great, let's do it. Yes, I'll start this
Speaker 3: off so our Our nominees for Best Supporting Actress are
Speaker 3: Monica Barbero for A Complete Unknown, Ariana Grande for Wicked,
Speaker 3: Felicity Jones for The Brutalist, Isabella Rosselini for Conclave, and
Speaker 3: Zoe Saldana for Amelia Perez. Now, usually we'll do who
Speaker 3: we want to win, who we think will win. I
Speaker 3: would love to give this to Ariana Grande because I
Speaker 3: thought she was so good as Glinda. She blew me away.
Speaker 2: I did love her in that.
Speaker 3: I didn't expect her to be as good as she was. Now,
Speaker 3: I know she's funny, and I know she sings well,
Speaker 3: I agree, but I didn't. I didn't know that she
Speaker 3: could sing like that. It's a different style. You know,
Speaker 3: you got your pop stuff, even musical theater, but she's
Speaker 3: got to do like, oh, operatic things. I was very
Speaker 3: impressed with her. But I also think that I think
Speaker 3: Zoe so Daniel is going to get it. She is
Speaker 3: by far the front runner for this. She's won so
Speaker 3: many awards for it already. She had to do a
Speaker 3: lot in that movie. And had to sing and dance
Speaker 3: as well. Yeah, she's a wonderful actress. She deserves and
Speaker 3: so yeah, I'm I'm good giving it to Zoe Soldania.
Speaker 2: Well, that's why I picked as well. I feel like
Speaker 2: she's gonna get it. I feel like that movie has
Speaker 2: to get at least a few thirteen nominations. It's also,
Speaker 2: this is just gonna come up that that movie doesn't
Speaker 2: make much sense to me. I like it, but I
Speaker 2: also I'm so confused by it. So I know we've
Speaker 2: talked about this before, but why you would make a
Speaker 2: musical without any decent songs or people who can really
Speaker 2: sing is a very strange move to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was my exact feeling because I was kind
Speaker 3: of into the story me too.
Speaker 2: I like that. I was compelled by it a lot.
Speaker 2: I'm with you, the.
Speaker 3: Story is crazy. Yeah, it's I feel like it could
Speaker 3: have been just a good drama and everyone.
Speaker 2: Did a really good job acting. I thought, except for
Speaker 2: the singing, I do. I will say though, Zoe's Adnet
Speaker 2: is not a bad singer at all. I thought she
Speaker 2: was actually one of the better people in it.
Speaker 3: For sure, she can dance really well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, she's not bad by any means, but it's
Speaker 2: just it is strange. But so I'm picking her. I
Speaker 2: hear you on Ariana Grande. I like her a lot.
Speaker 2: I had a hard time picking who I want, but
Speaker 2: I ended up saying what I who I really want
Speaker 2: to get it is Monica Barbero from a complete unknown.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe biass wonderful. She was great. She was she
Speaker 3: sounded great.
Speaker 2: Ah, sounded so great, cus Button, you know, like had
Speaker 2: to do a lot of emotional, you know things during that.
Speaker 2: I felt like that performance had some pretty good depths.
Speaker 3: So honestly, I felt like all all of the nominees
Speaker 3: had to do a lot except for Isabella Rossellini. I
Speaker 3: felt like she was in for this for about five
Speaker 3: minutes and I like, she was fine. I didn't think
Speaker 3: that she was bad anyway. And I mean she is
Speaker 3: a legendary actress. Yes, but I was a little shocked
Speaker 3: that she was nominated for them.
Speaker 2: When I first was writing these down, I went and
Speaker 2: made sure that I got that right, because I was like,
Speaker 2: was she even ate it? Like I don't even remember really,
Speaker 2: you know, so I'm with you. And again I thought
Speaker 2: that she was bad or anything, but no, no.
Speaker 3: She was mine.
Speaker 2: Not a memorable same level because all these other ones,
Speaker 2: I'd be like, if any of them won, I'd be like, yeah.
Speaker 3: All right, great, well, and the stuff that Felicity Jones
Speaker 3: had to do in The Brutalist, like, yeah, she's great.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know how you put those two
Speaker 3: in the same Yeah, very strange category, very very strange.
Speaker 3: I'm with you anyway.
Speaker 2: So but yeah, so we both picked Zoe's out of
Speaker 2: the we did.
Speaker 3: Why don't you tell us about Best Supporting Acts.
Speaker 2: Best Supporting Actor? The nominees are from Anora, You're a
Speaker 2: Bozov from a real pain, Kieran Koolkin, a complete unknown,
Speaker 2: Edward Norton, The Brutalist, Guy Pierce, and the Apprenticed, The
Speaker 2: Apprenticed the Apprentice Jeremy Strong. I was like, why did
Speaker 2: I say apprenticed?
Speaker 3: Dumb dumb idiot.
Speaker 2: I picked the same person for this with a sort
Speaker 2: of a caveat, But I think it's going to be
Speaker 2: Karen Culkin. And he was wonderful in that film, so
Speaker 2: I think that makes a ton of sense. A weird
Speaker 2: not a weird character, but just like a nuanced, strange,
Speaker 2: outside the norm character. And I thought he did such
Speaker 2: a good job. So, yeah, why don't you tell me
Speaker 2: who you had and I'll tell you my other person
Speaker 2: I really wanted to lift up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I one hundred percent think it's going to
Speaker 3: Kiaran Culkin. We're two for two. He also is winning
Speaker 3: every award he is. I think this is the biggest
Speaker 3: lock to win. Good dude. He yeah, in everything everybody's
Speaker 3: going on and on about.
Speaker 2: Him, it makes sense.
Speaker 3: It kind of feels like he's playing himself a little
Speaker 3: bit when I see him in interviews with Greens, Yeah,
Speaker 3: a little bit, But I think he's just I think
Speaker 3: he's pretty great. He's pretty funny, and he had to
Speaker 3: really emote in some stuff. It was a great performance.
Speaker 3: All the actors were great, though, if I had to
Speaker 3: give it to somebody else, honestly, I was super impressed
Speaker 3: with Jeremy Strong in The Apprentice. Yeah, it's funny. Two
Speaker 3: dudes from Succession.
Speaker 2: That is really great.
Speaker 3: You know that movie was tough to watch, but he
Speaker 3: was pretty pretty great and you could see they were
Speaker 3: really going for let's see how Donald Trump became who
Speaker 3: he was and that this guy was such a huge
Speaker 3: influence on him. And I thought he was great.
Speaker 2: No, he was really wonderful. Yeah. I liked that a
Speaker 2: lot too.
Speaker 3: That's all I got.
Speaker 2: Ed Norton is Pete Seeger I thought was also wonderful.
Speaker 2: He's always amazing, and that's why I think he won't
Speaker 2: honestly like make a bigger push or anything, because he's
Speaker 2: just always great. So it's like a little like, oh, yeah, okay, cool,
Speaker 2: But man, I thought he was great even, just like
Speaker 2: because you know, Pete was such like a hey, it's
Speaker 2: cool man, you know, like his whole was just perfect.
Speaker 2: I loved it.
Speaker 3: And he had to do some singing and playing yeah too,
Speaker 3: I thought, yeah, I'd never really heard him do anything
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 2: So it was cool. Also, we need Pezzeger. Petez Seeger
Speaker 2: is gonna come around again, Okay because of the current
Speaker 2: climate of the world.
Speaker 3: By sure, you want to bring us to Best Actress,
Speaker 3: do I ever? Our Best Actress nominees are Cynthia Revo
Speaker 3: for Wicked Hell, Carla Sophia Gascon for Emelia Perez, Mikey
Speaker 3: Madison for a Noura, Demi Moore for The Substance, and
Speaker 3: Fernando Torres for I'm Still Here. I think Demi Moore
Speaker 3: is going to get a legacy Award here. I wasn't
Speaker 3: able to see Fernando Torres and I'm Still Here, which
Speaker 3: I heard. She was fantastic in.
Speaker 2: Saying that's my one that I didn't get. I just
Speaker 2: I had a couple of shots and I just couldn't.
Speaker 2: I couldn't compel myself.
Speaker 3: They were only playing it in a couple of plays.
Speaker 2: Is really weird times and yeah, that was.
Speaker 3: So Yeah, I think I think, to me more, that's
Speaker 3: who I'm gonna pick.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: I thought Cynthia Revo was incredible and wicked, so I
Speaker 3: would have probably I would have given this to Mikey
Speaker 3: Madison and Anora. I guess she had to do so much.
Speaker 3: She was definitely deserved for a nomination. She really carried
Speaker 3: that film, and it's such a crazy film.
Speaker 2: She had to do a lot, so much, she had
Speaker 2: to amount, she had to like crazy sex scenes and
Speaker 2: all that. Like, yeah, just so many things.
Speaker 3: I think I think she would be the front runner
Speaker 3: if it wasn't to me more, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I also picked to me, I think I would
Speaker 2: love Cynthia Rebo to win. I think everyone did other
Speaker 2: than I haven't seen I'm Still Here, Like we said,
Speaker 2: so I don't know that she did, but I Fernanda
Speaker 2: Tory as everyone is going crazy about, so I'm sure
Speaker 2: it is also great.
Speaker 3: She has a very big following on X everybody because
Speaker 3: it's a Brazilian movie. The Brazilians are really just going
Speaker 3: on and on. She's interesting, ever, so yeah, making a push.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I honestly I agree everyone did great in
Speaker 2: this Carlo Sophia Gascon. I mean a lot of controversy
Speaker 2: around her right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's just like tweeting things that are bad. I
Speaker 3: didn't really get into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just doesn't have like the the general progressive you know,
Speaker 2: Hollywood kind of stuff is not her deal. I forget, honest,
Speaker 2: if I'm honest, I don't really remember even what.
Speaker 3: I don't even know what the controversy is.
Speaker 2: There is controversy around that stuff. I think she's talked
Speaker 2: about maybe Palestine and Israel stuff too, which gets real murky.
Speaker 2: And I don't have any answers about any that's you know,
Speaker 2: but just not very welcoming to folks. So yeah, but
Speaker 2: I thought she was awesome in that movie, like not
Speaker 2: as a singer perhaps, but no everything else. But yeah,
Speaker 2: well let's go to best actress then, Tour. I mean,
Speaker 2: of course, yes, yes, I can scroll appropriately.
Speaker 4: Adrian Brody from The Brutalist, Timothy Chalameat from a Complete Unknown,
Speaker 4: Coleman Domingo from Sing Sing Ralph Fiennis Ray Fines from Conclave,
Speaker 4: and then Sebastian Stan from The Apprentice.
Speaker 3: I think totally redeemed yourself on The Apprentice right there
Speaker 3: by the way, good job did I What did I do?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you redeemed yourself totally.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Adrian Brodie for The Brutalist is probably
Speaker 2: gonna win this.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: I really want Coleman Domingo to win it, though, I
Speaker 2: really get that.
Speaker 3: Dude.
Speaker 2: God, he was good in that movie.
Speaker 3: He was so good. That was a great movie.
Speaker 2: Again, this is pretty stacked with some great people. But
Speaker 2: Adrian Brodie I think is going to win. I think
Speaker 2: he was pretty great in that movie. Honestly, he's not
Speaker 2: a character I like, which is always a little hard
Speaker 2: for me to hear. That well, and speaking of Sebastian
Speaker 2: Stan did a really good job. But also like that
Speaker 2: yeah right, yeah, but yeah, Adrian Brodie, I think he
Speaker 2: did a wonderful job in that because that's a real
Speaker 2: and it's like seven hours long, so oh man, you
Speaker 2: know that movie a lot of screen time. But yeah,
Speaker 2: that's why I had who would you have for that one?
Speaker 3: Well, Hollywood loves a biopic, and we've seen best actors
Speaker 3: go to a lot of biopicks, So well you had
Speaker 3: Jamie Fox, and Rae had Joaquin Fienix, Love Line, Ronnie
Speaker 3: Mallick and Bohemian Rhapsody. But I used that exact same
Speaker 3: logic years ago when Austin Butler was up for Elvis
Speaker 3: and I got hosed for Brendan Fraser in the Whale.
Speaker 3: So I'm not gonna get burned this time, and I'm
Speaker 3: gonna guess that Adrian Brody you turn it around way.
Speaker 2: I know, but.
Speaker 3: I honestly think it's a coin flip between him and
Speaker 3: Timothy Shallow.
Speaker 2: Was awesome too, But he was so good.
Speaker 3: He didn't like overdo the Bob Dylan like go like
Speaker 3: way too intense because everybody always does a and he
Speaker 3: was really subtle with it.
Speaker 2: Had to do a lot been singing.
Speaker 3: He had been practicing it sounds like for like five years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is pretty cool.
Speaker 3: So yeah, you see somebody put that much work into it,
Speaker 3: and I mean he's gonna win an Academy Award at
Speaker 3: some point. He's an incredible actor.
Speaker 2: It's kind of surprising he hasn't.
Speaker 3: I kind of That's what I'm almost wanting to pick
Speaker 3: him right now because of that, because did win. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Adrian Brody, but I want Timothy
Speaker 3: shall Made to win.
Speaker 2: I think that's inspired. Thank you.
Speaker 3: So let's move on to Best Adapted Screenplay. We have
Speaker 3: A Complete Unknown by James Mangold and Jay Cox. We
Speaker 3: have Conclave by Peter Strawn, Amelia Perez by Jacques add
Speaker 3: with some other folks. We got Nickel Boys screenplay by
Speaker 3: Ramel Ross and Joslyn Barnes. Then we got Sing Sing,
Speaker 3: which I love that that was the real thing that happened.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 3: So everything that I've read is pointing to our Conclave
Speaker 3: winning Best adapt at Screenplay. I really think all of
Speaker 3: these films have a good chance.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was really impressed with how they shot Nickel Boys
Speaker 3: and have it all from the main character's point of view.
Speaker 3: Super interesting, Yeah, super interesting. I thought Sing Sing was
Speaker 3: a pretty amazing story led by Coleman Domingo, but Conclave
Speaker 3: was also great. So I'm gonna go with what I've read.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Conclave.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm kind of doing the same thing Conclave. I
Speaker 2: would I think I would like it if Sing Sing
Speaker 2: won the most out of the rest of them.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm kind of with you.
Speaker 2: I'm not mad about any of it, right, like, if
Speaker 2: any of that happens, right, Yeah, that's pretty great, so nice.
Speaker 2: I love that. I think we've agreed on almost everything.
Speaker 3: So every single thing, not almost single Well, that make
Speaker 3: things interesting.
Speaker 2: Well, either it either means Rob You're gonna do a
Speaker 2: lot worse this year or I'm gonna do a lot
Speaker 2: better this year. There's no in between. All Right, let's
Speaker 2: go to Best Original Screenplay now. Sorry, I'm just navigating
Speaker 2: over because I like that you had their names. I
Speaker 2: should have done that, so Anora. Nominees for this are Anora,
Speaker 2: Sean Baker, Sean Baker four and Noura Brady Corbett and
Speaker 2: Mona Fastfold for the Brutalist, Jesse Eisenberg for Real Pain,
Speaker 2: Cora Lee is it for yet Forget?
Speaker 3: I'm not sure either the.
Speaker 2: Substance the substance, And then Moritz Binder, Tim Fell Boum,
Speaker 2: and Alex David for September five, Which did you see September.
Speaker 2: It looks compelling, it looks good. Yeah, I really want
Speaker 2: to see it. I'm interested, and I think this is
Speaker 2: like one of the only things it's up for, right
Speaker 2: is uh yeah, is screenplay, So that's interesting. But no,
Speaker 2: I haven't had did you see You haven't seen it either?
Speaker 3: Then no, no, no, I just saw a trailer for right.
Speaker 3: I just wasn't able to get it in before this,
Speaker 3: But sure, I'm going to definitely try and see it
Speaker 3: before the awards.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Same here, same here. I think I feel like
Speaker 2: I read and this kind of makes sense to me.
Speaker 2: I think Nora is going to win this one because
Speaker 2: I just think Anora is gonna do great and it's
Speaker 2: it is a really compelling idea for a screenplay because
Speaker 2: it's a little out there, right, like it's a, you know,
Speaker 2: a different kind of story. I think I would like
Speaker 2: if The Substance won, though, because I thought that was
Speaker 2: really an inventive idea, which I really I liked. I mean,
Speaker 2: I I don't love the entire movie as we've talked about,
Speaker 2: but but man, it was it was really a cool
Speaker 2: idea and they pulled it off really well. So but
Speaker 2: I'm going to take out or for this one. What
Speaker 2: are you taking?
Speaker 3: We are again? Oh? No, in lockstep? Yes, we are
Speaker 3: right there. I also didn't see September fifth. I kind
Speaker 3: of thought the substance had a good shot here. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's gonna take sure stuff. But yeah, I noor. The
Speaker 3: fact it was so funny with all the drama centered
Speaker 3: around it was really impressive. So I'm right there with you, dude.
Speaker 2: We do not have.
Speaker 3: One that's different yet, which is crazy.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's got to change, right, or I'll
Speaker 2: just start picking what I think will win rather than.
Speaker 3: Right, we'll see. We'll see here with the best animated features. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we had Flow, Inside Out, to Memoir of a Snail,
Speaker 3: Wallace and Grammet, Vengeance, Most Foul, and The Wild Robot.
Speaker 3: I only saw two of the five nominees here. I
Speaker 3: kind of reposer.
Speaker 2: I just watched the last one last night, so.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I've only seen Inside Out two in the
Speaker 3: Wild Robot, I think either of those films could win,
Speaker 3: and I think Flow won the Golden Globe. But I'm
Speaker 3: gonna go and give this one of the Wild Robot.
Speaker 3: Pretty beautiful store.
Speaker 2: Yeah, really good. I picked that both for for both
Speaker 2: I wanted to win and I think it will win.
Speaker 2: I will say Inside Out too was great, and we've
Speaker 2: talked about that. I just think for whatever reason, those
Speaker 2: Pixar ones get kind of overlooked now. I don't know why.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't get that at all.
Speaker 2: And I watched Flow last night and I really liked it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I checked the trailer out and my kids noticed it
Speaker 3: said adult animation. They were like, I don't think we
Speaker 3: can watch this. So I was like, all right, I'll wait.
Speaker 2: They definitely good. I don't know that they would look
Speaker 2: of it. There's there's no speaking in it at all.
Speaker 2: That was one thing we noticed. We're like, it's very so,
Speaker 2: and not to say they wouldn't like it, but I
Speaker 2: don't know. It would be interesting to know what they
Speaker 2: thought of it. I really thought it was. It was interesting.
Speaker 2: It helped my attention the whole time. And for an
Speaker 2: animated movie that has no you know, like speaking in it,
Speaker 2: I think that's really cool and good for them. So yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: the Wild Robot, I'm with you where we match again?
Speaker 3: This is crazy.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 3: Why don't hit us up with Best Original Song?
Speaker 2: That's right, it's my turn Best Original Song. The nominees
Speaker 2: are el Mall for Amelia Perez, the Journey, six Triple
Speaker 2: eight Like a Bird from Sing Sing Me Camino from
Speaker 2: Amelia Perez again, and Never Too Late from Elton John.
Speaker 2: It's all it says, which I assume is that a documentary.
Speaker 3: It was called Never Too Late.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh the actual thing, okay, and Elton John wrote it.
Speaker 2: I probably should have said who wrote all those as well,
Speaker 2: but it was.
Speaker 3: A lot of folks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go check it out. I picked Elton John Never
Speaker 2: Too Late because I believe it was him and Brandy
Speaker 2: Carlisle honestly, the only reason other than I don't like
Speaker 2: the song from Emilia Perez. I don't remember like a Bird,
Speaker 2: and I never saw six two from it from me
Speaker 2: and they, I just don't. I don't know. Yeah, they're fine,
Speaker 2: but I never saw six Triple eight.
Speaker 3: Either, so I didn't either.
Speaker 2: I don't know that. So I was like, ah, best
Speaker 2: original song, let's go with Elton John. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all I had. I totally feel you and I
Speaker 3: want the Elton John one to win, but I saw
Speaker 3: that Elle mall Is is kind of the favorite, but
Speaker 3: I would be so happy. Brandy Carlisle the one Where's
Speaker 3: That's really sad? And singing about no it is it's
Speaker 3: this crazy. It's the crazy scene where Zoe Saldania is
Speaker 3: singing and dancing in between like that whatever no no, no,
Speaker 3: in the entire like crowd that's in like a big
Speaker 3: ballroom and they're all frozen while she's singing and dancing
Speaker 3: around them, and she's like it, it's not that great
Speaker 3: of a song. It's more impressive what she's able to
Speaker 3: do with the acting in her movements. I was not
Speaker 3: that impressed with the song, but it is. It is
Speaker 3: the front runner, so I'm gonna go with it because
Speaker 3: I don't really know any of the other ones.
Speaker 2: Well, I hate it all right, great, yeah, well we
Speaker 2: have a difference.
Speaker 3: Though I thought it would. The one that could get
Speaker 3: nominated for that movie is when they're kind of going
Speaker 3: back and forth and it's like a power ballance. That
Speaker 3: was like the only.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 3: Neither one of that one was not nominal, and they were.
Speaker 2: I think it's because they were acting more than anything
Speaker 2: in that too.
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know, that's weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well I guess that does it for that.
Speaker 3: You want to hit us with best international films, I
Speaker 3: do from Brazil. We have I'm still here from Denmark,
Speaker 3: we have The Girl with the Needle. From France, we
Speaker 3: have Amelia Perez. From Germany, we have The Seed of
Speaker 3: the Sacred fig and from Latvia we have Flow. And
Speaker 3: it seems like Amelia Perez is the front runner here.
Speaker 3: But I've also heard that I'm Still Here was really good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sot between because I.
Speaker 3: Wasn't super into Amelia Perez. I'm gonna go with I'm
Speaker 3: Still Here. Uh, that's it. That's all I have. I
Speaker 3: haven't even seen it, but I'm going to pick that.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick Amelia Perez because I think that we'll win.
Speaker 2: So another two different ones. That's good, But I would
Speaker 2: really like it to Flow one because I thought that
Speaker 2: movie was very, very sweet and compelling.
Speaker 3: Cool.
Speaker 2: Uh and again I yeah, I know, we both said it,
Speaker 2: but Amelia Prez such an interesting story and then they
Speaker 2: just they kind of wrecked part of it for me. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so they'll get something out of it. Let's do best
Speaker 2: documentary short subject, everyone's favorite catalog category catalog too, maybe
Speaker 2: Death by Numbers, I Am Ready Warden and Instruments of
Speaker 2: a Beating Heart and the Only Girl in the Orchestra.
Speaker 2: I picked I Am Ready Warden, big fan of commas,
Speaker 2: so that was big basically the big reason I picked that. Uh,
Speaker 2: and I really want the only girl on the orchestra
Speaker 2: to win. For no particular reason, I didn't see it.
Speaker 3: Yeah about I am also picking I am ready warden
Speaker 3: because that is the front run.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that one especially, I was like, I haven't seen it.
Speaker 2: It is I guess I'll just look at what other
Speaker 2: people are thinking.
Speaker 3: I don't say, uh, this next one isn't as like
Speaker 3: they don't have a serious front runner. We have Best
Speaker 3: Documentary Feature. I mean there's it's between two, it seems like.
Speaker 3: So for best Documentary Feature, we have black Box Diaries,
Speaker 3: No Other Land, Porcelain War, soundtrack to a Coup d'eta,
Speaker 3: and Sugar Cane. I saw zero of these. I usually
Speaker 3: see one or two.
Speaker 2: I know I didn't see any of them. I know
Speaker 2: they need to make these easier to see, like the
Speaker 2: agreed the short and I feel like I would watch
Speaker 2: all these if.
Speaker 3: They their own streaming service, Academy Award streaming service.
Speaker 2: You want to get nominated, you have to let us
Speaker 2: show this on this thing or whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably a nightmare with all the work, but
Speaker 3: it wouldn't work. But but I wish it was a thing.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I saw it was kind of between No
Speaker 3: Other Land and porcelaind war and I'm taking No Other Land,
Speaker 3: dang it.
Speaker 2: That's what I picked too, for no real reason either.
Speaker 3: So cool.
Speaker 2: All right, Well let's go to best production design. We
Speaker 2: have for this category, the Brutalist Conclave Dune Part two,
Speaker 2: No Spatu and Wicked, and I picked and want Wicked
Speaker 2: to win.
Speaker 3: Same.
Speaker 2: It's just so great, and I thought they really did
Speaker 2: a great job of It's so vibrant, this world they
Speaker 2: created all, you know, everything in it. I just really
Speaker 2: like it so and it's different, right, So I just
Speaker 2: thought that was neat. But I really thought they made
Speaker 2: all come alive. I think they also did that for
Speaker 2: Dune obviously, but I I feel like June Part one
Speaker 2: had its sort of day in the sun, so people
Speaker 2: will maybe ignore that. I don't know, but you know,
Speaker 2: I don't really know what goes into this one, if
Speaker 2: I'm completely honest.
Speaker 3: So Wicked, Yeah, Wicked, I the exact same thing. Okay,
Speaker 3: I would be super happy if Dune Part two one
Speaker 3: is one.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Cool.
Speaker 3: Well, let's move on to cinematography. We have the Brutalist Lol, Crawley,
Speaker 3: Dune Part two, Grieg Fraser, Amelia Perez, Paul Gillum, Maria
Speaker 3: ed Lachman, and knows Faratu jarin Blashkey. I think because
Speaker 3: Greg Fraser won for Dune Part one, that they're gonna
Speaker 3: give Lol Crawley the Oscar for The Brutalist.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 3: I did not see Maria or ness Ferratu, which I
Speaker 3: feel bad about. But The Brutalist was shot beautifully. The
Speaker 3: fact that I was into that movie for three and
Speaker 3: a half hours, yeah, means that the filmmaking was great.
Speaker 3: I give a lot of that to how it was shot,
Speaker 3: keeping me entertained for that long. So yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Lol Crawley and yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: that's a lot of coverage. That is a long, long film.
Speaker 2: So much, right, so much. I also picked The Brutalist,
Speaker 2: so we match on that one, and I think I
Speaker 2: want that one to win too, Although I will say no,
Speaker 2: Sparratu has great cinematography. You went and saw it, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I did see it. I don't I didn't really like it,
Speaker 2: to be honest. It you know, it's a horror movie anyway.
Speaker 3: But like it just Dinegger's creeps me out, bro it didn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I just didn't do anything for me.
Speaker 2: I don't know why. But it is beautiful shot.
Speaker 3: He has a very like particular vibe. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 3: always just makes puts me off a bit like it
Speaker 3: makes me feel great.
Speaker 2: I don't like it. I'm with you. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's you know, some people really really like it. I presume,
Speaker 2: but yeah, I don't whatever, but uh, you might really
Speaker 2: like it if you listener. If you want to go
Speaker 2: see that, go check it out one for.
Speaker 3: Me, check it out. But but I would be super
Speaker 3: excited if Greek Phraser won again for doing part two.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, that movie was insane.
Speaker 2: The only thing I thought was like so much there's
Speaker 2: so much computer animation in that that like, maybe you
Speaker 2: lose a few points for that. Again, I don't without
Speaker 2: really knowing what goes into it, because there might be
Speaker 2: in The Brutalist too. I don't really think there is,
Speaker 2: but there might be. I don't know. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be mad about that for show. Let's do
Speaker 2: best costume design. The movies we have for this are
Speaker 2: A complete Unknown, Conclave, Gladiator two No Saratu, and Wicked
Speaker 2: Wiki ah, and I picked no Satu for this one.
Speaker 2: They love a period piece number one.
Speaker 3: That's true, and it is true.
Speaker 2: There's some pretty great costumes in this that I thought
Speaker 2: were really really cool. So yeah, I picked up is
Speaker 2: that a different one?
Speaker 3: That is a different one?
Speaker 2: Love?
Speaker 3: We have three different ones so far. I kind of
Speaker 3: thought it was between Wicked and Gladiator two. I was
Speaker 3: thinking Gladiator two for the period piece. Like you're saying, oh,
Speaker 3: great point, but I'm gonna give it to Wicked.
Speaker 2: I have no complaints about that. I thought their production
Speaker 2: and costumes were wonderful in that movie, so kind of
Speaker 2: the same thing as before, right, like really beautiful, vibrant,
Speaker 2: yea cool. Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 3: And Gladiator two that was probably the best part of
Speaker 3: that movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not a bad movie.
Speaker 2: It's not bad. I had fun.
Speaker 3: But that's a big party.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's certainly no Gladiator one.
Speaker 3: No, I had a lot to live up too, for sure. Well,
Speaker 3: let's move on to best sound. We have a complete
Speaker 3: Unknown Dune Part two, Amelia Perez, Wicked and the Wild Robot.
Speaker 3: Let's give Wicked another one. I'm giving it to Wicked.
Speaker 3: Let's get some best sound. That's all I got.
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, yeah, I'm wondering if I should switch min
Speaker 2: because I don't really feel as strongly as I did
Speaker 2: about it last night.
Speaker 3: I don't feel super strongly.
Speaker 2: I feel like a number of these could win. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna pick du in Part two. That's what I wrote down.
Speaker 3: I could absolutely see that sound.
Speaker 2: For that was just really great, like we've said before,
Speaker 2: so like vast and I.
Speaker 3: Think it's between those two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, shout out to complete don't know. And I
Speaker 2: just thought, like the all the songs in that sound,
Speaker 2: it's so great that that's amazing. But you could say
Speaker 2: the same about Wicked, So yeah, I don't know. I'm
Speaker 2: not mad about any of those winning. I think you're
Speaker 2: right though, it's between Dune and Wicked, I'd think, yeah.
Speaker 2: I just think those the movies that are so closely
Speaker 2: tied to each other, like Dune and One Part one
Speaker 2: and Part two. If the first one gets a bunch
Speaker 2: of buzz, the second one, I feel like usually doesn't,
Speaker 2: or vice versa, you know, so I.
Speaker 3: Can see them totally.
Speaker 2: Who knows though, but yeah, so uh we're getting into
Speaker 2: the big ones now. Best animated short beautiful men in
Speaker 2: the Shadow of the Cypress, Magic candles, Wander to Wonder.
Speaker 3: And yuck, yuck. I think it's magic candies.
Speaker 2: Oh is it really?
Speaker 3: I think you know what?
Speaker 2: I wrote down candies originally, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: I must have misspelled candles. What a cool Well this
Speaker 2: is embarrassing because that's the one I picked to win. Uh, candies.
Speaker 3: I love candy, I mean candle.
Speaker 2: Candies and candles. Really, I'm in for both. Yeah, I can.
Speaker 2: If I could see all these, I would maybe have
Speaker 2: more of opinion, but I don't.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I have no idea either. Real well, I
Speaker 3: mean that's what it looks like on here.
Speaker 2: Here's probably right, bud.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got nothing. I'm going to pick Wander to
Speaker 3: Wonder because I like alliteration. I love it, you know,
Speaker 3: that's all I got looking to see.
Speaker 2: If it's candies, it is candies.
Speaker 3: Candy even more reason and I should have known.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so candies obviously the.
Speaker 3: One different one. I love it. I love different. Yeah,
Speaker 3: live action short, we have a lean a new huh,
Speaker 3: I'm not a robot. The Last Ranger and the man
Speaker 3: who could not remain silent. I think we all know
Speaker 3: the man who could not remain silent gets the win.
Speaker 3: Everybody's been talking about it. That's the buzz everyone I
Speaker 3: picked Anusia.
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about any of these.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's how I went with a
Speaker 3: new hat, A new hat, A new Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Yogging, I yogging?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but okay, cool, I knew you would correct my pronunciation.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to everyone that probably puts so much time
Speaker 2: and effort into those categories.
Speaker 3: No, we're sorry. There's only so many things you can watch.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Best original score though from this one we have
Speaker 2: the Brutalist, Conclave, Amelia Perez, Wicked, and the Wild Robot. Ah.
Speaker 2: And I picked the Brutalist because I actually thought the
Speaker 2: score in that I think it is getting some buzz
Speaker 2: that it might win too, but it is. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: remember being like, I really like this. This score a lot,
Speaker 2: like it's very It goes a lot of places. There's
Speaker 2: a lot of like sort of vista moments, whether it's
Speaker 2: inside a building or in an actual vista where it's
Speaker 2: just like score playing over top of that, And I
Speaker 2: really like that. So yeah, I picked the Brutalist.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it definitely sounds like it's the front Runner, with
Speaker 3: Conclave shortly behind.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 3: I definitely noticed that throughout it. Now that composer who
Speaker 3: did Conclave is a Vulcar Bertleman, and he won two
Speaker 3: years ago for All Quiet on the Western Front A
Speaker 3: BEAUTIFU lovely.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was super super cool.
Speaker 3: So I think Daniel Bloomberg or Bloomberg he's gonna get
Speaker 3: his first Oscar win for the Brutalist. I'm with you,
Speaker 3: love it nice, but I wouldn't be mad if if
Speaker 3: Vulcar Bertleman wins again.
Speaker 2: And the Wild Rubbi Great has some great scoring.
Speaker 3: Wicked, wicked, It's always good. And we had our guy,
Speaker 3: Stephen Schwartz. That's the only name I really knew out
Speaker 3: of all those folks.
Speaker 2: So nice wouldn't be mad at that either. And Emilia
Speaker 2: Press probably had nice meeting. I don't know. I was
Speaker 2: so thrown off by the singing I didn't pay attention.
Speaker 2: I guess no, no, this is me.
Speaker 3: Let's do best visual effects Alien Romulus, which I never saw.
Speaker 3: Still pretty mad about that. I need to check that
Speaker 3: out better man. Also have not seen Dune part two.
Speaker 3: Loved that movie bro Kingdom of the Plan of the Apes,
Speaker 3: which I also did not see. And Wicked. Dune Part
Speaker 3: two is my favorite film last year and had a
Speaker 3: lot to do with the incredible visual effects. Going to
Speaker 3: give this one to.
Speaker 2: Them, same, Yeah, I picked the same cool. Yeah. I
Speaker 2: don't know that I have much other commentary on that
Speaker 2: any of them could win, probably, but yeah, that they
Speaker 2: just did so many weird, cool things with all the
Speaker 2: dude and stuff.
Speaker 3: If you're going to ride a sandworm, you're gonna win
Speaker 3: best visual fests for real, real, That's all.
Speaker 2: There is to it. I love that. It's great reasoning.
Speaker 2: Let's go to best film editing for this one. We
Speaker 2: have a Noora, the Brutalist Conclave, Amelia Perez and Wicked
Speaker 2: and then probably should have wrote all those people's names down,
Speaker 2: but I didn't.
Speaker 3: It's all good.
Speaker 2: Ah, editing is one. I feel like I need a
Speaker 2: short film on what that means and what makes it
Speaker 2: really good editing other than a few years ago we
Speaker 2: did the was it Ford Versus Ferrari where we were
Speaker 2: like they made that so exciting, like that was cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I picked a Nora for this one because I thought
Speaker 2: there was so much comedy in it that I felt
Speaker 2: like they had to probably massage some things with editing
Speaker 2: to make that work, and at the very least they
Speaker 2: didn't get in the way any of these could win.
Speaker 2: I don't really know, but I picked a Nora.
Speaker 3: I also picked Nora out, and honestly, I'm surprised the
Speaker 3: Brutalist is here for best editing editing did they edit anyway?
Speaker 3: Did we cut of a three and a half hour movie?
Speaker 2: What did we cut? That's a great point, but it does.
Speaker 3: Seem like this one is kind of the most up
Speaker 3: in the air, like a Nora, the Brutalist and Conclave
Speaker 3: seemed to all be kind of right around the same
Speaker 3: for favorites.
Speaker 2: I guess you could talk me into Conclave because that
Speaker 2: there's not a lot happening in that other than like
Speaker 2: the intrigue, and they're cool and they you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 3: I felt like they trimmed all the fat on that one.
Speaker 3: You know, it's not like, yeah, I was like, all right,
Speaker 3: let's keep going, you know.
Speaker 2: So yeah, interesting, we.
Speaker 3: Got the same on that one again. Let's go to
Speaker 3: makeup and hairstyling. I bet we get the same on
Speaker 3: this as well.
Speaker 2: I think so too.
Speaker 3: There's a different man. Amelia Perez nos Feratu, The substance
Speaker 3: and Wicked. Uh, the Substance really relied on the makeup
Speaker 3: in this one, and I'm going to give them the.
Speaker 2: Oscar so we don't have the same ones. I think
Speaker 2: the Substance is wonderful as far as makeup. I'm with you.
Speaker 2: There was a character who had green skin the entire
Speaker 2: film and it's and it's makeup. So I'm picking that
Speaker 2: because I thought she looked so great too. The Substance
Speaker 2: did as well, so obviously, like dude, now I'm not
Speaker 2: mad at either.
Speaker 3: That whole third act, well in the second Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's crazy. I'm with you, but man, I just I
Speaker 2: thought the makeup was so good for Wicked.
Speaker 3: I mean I would be happy with that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm gonna pick that and I'll take my
Speaker 2: loss like a chance.
Speaker 3: That monster in the Substance, so oh my, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: think about that.
Speaker 2: I like all the like back stuff and the just
Speaker 2: the body the body horror stuff, and you're probably right,
Speaker 2: it's probably the Substance. I'm still gonna pick Wicket, but
Speaker 2: I think you're did you see a different man by
Speaker 2: the way, No, I didn't. That's this that was also
Speaker 2: Sebastian Stan right, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it sounds like, I don't know what the
Speaker 3: term is, but he has a very large face.
Speaker 2: I don't know what that is.
Speaker 3: It's all like prosthetics, the kind of stuff exactly exactly. So,
Speaker 3: I mean that looked pretty impressive too. Definitely surprised.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3: Now we got the big ones. Now we're going for
Speaker 3: Best Director. Yeah, and uh we have Sean Baker for
Speaker 3: a Nora, Brady Corbett for the Brutalist, James Mangold for
Speaker 3: a complete unknown, Jacques Aldielle for Amelia Perez, and Coralie
Speaker 3: Fargiet for the Substance. It seems like this is kind
Speaker 3: of a two man race between Sean Baker for Anora
Speaker 3: and Brady Corbett for the Brutalist.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, I I know Brady Corbett won the Golden Globe.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, but I think I'm gonna go for Shawn
Speaker 3: Baker for Anora here. It's honestly what I preferred more
Speaker 3: and I could be wrong. They could go with the
Speaker 3: Golden Globe whinner Brady Corbett, but I'm gonna pick a
Speaker 3: Nora Seawan Baker.
Speaker 2: We are the same on that one. I picked a
Speaker 2: Sean Baker for an Aura as well. I just I
Speaker 2: think to be able to do a movie that has
Speaker 2: all these different levels of emotion is really impressive. And
Speaker 2: not that the Brutalists didn't have some moments of levity,
Speaker 2: because they had a few, but it certainly wasn't as
Speaker 2: funny as Honora was in parts. To me anyway, no,
Speaker 2: nowhere near. Yeah, so yeah, I'm gonna take that. I'm
Speaker 2: with you.
Speaker 3: I like it cool.
Speaker 2: That's a tough one, though, because I could see The
Speaker 2: Substance winning too, And this is a weird like whatever
Speaker 2: you think will win Best Picture usually also so you know, right,
Speaker 2: like right, which not always, not always, certainly not always.
Speaker 2: But yeah, well let's go into Best Picture. Now. We
Speaker 2: have the Best Picture nominees are Anora, The Brutalist, A
Speaker 2: Complete Unknown, Conclave, Dune Part Two, Amelia Perez, I'm Still Here,
Speaker 2: Nickel Boys, The Substance.
Speaker 3: And Wicked Boom.
Speaker 2: I I don't know even what I want to win, honestly,
Speaker 2: but I kept reading everywhere that Honora is probably the
Speaker 2: front runner, and so I just ended up picking that.
Speaker 2: I did like that movie. Is it a Best Picture winner?
Speaker 2: I don't know? But what does that mean? So it's
Speaker 2: super hard? I don't know.
Speaker 3: I feel maybe I want.
Speaker 2: Wicked to win just because that was the movie I
Speaker 2: enjoyed the most or thought was the most impressive or something.
Speaker 2: But yeah, again, the follow up might win next year,
Speaker 2: so that is, you know, a thing that might happen.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I picked a Nora. What did you pick
Speaker 2: for this one?
Speaker 3: I picked a Nora as well.
Speaker 2: We we picked.
Speaker 3: We really were right next to each other with all
Speaker 3: the main like the big main categories, because I didn't
Speaker 3: have any.
Speaker 2: Like hard opinions this year that were different.
Speaker 3: Well maybe so I saw nine of the ten, same
Speaker 3: as you, because you didn't see I'm still here as well.
Speaker 3: Like I said, Doom Part two is my favorite film.
Speaker 3: And I think it's a shame that Denny is not
Speaker 3: up for Best Director.
Speaker 2: Did he win last year?
Speaker 3: No, he didn't win.
Speaker 2: No, No, was he even up. I don't even remember.
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't think he was up.
Speaker 2: That's dumb. He made both those movies and didn't even
Speaker 2: get up. That's that's a travesty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so oh yeah, yeah, I would have certainly done
Speaker 3: that over over Amelia Perez. Yeah, but that's me. But yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give it to a Nora. I would be
Speaker 3: super happy if Wicked one. I would be super happy
Speaker 3: if doing part two to one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, damn, Deny, you didn't even get nominated last year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he's so good man, Yeah, but sorry, I
Speaker 3: kind of think it's a coin flip between Honora and
Speaker 3: the Brutalist.
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, I think Emilia pres had gotten better pub
Speaker 2: maybe you know, I don't know. Yeah, that movie is
Speaker 2: just so weird, I want to be clear, very polarizing.
Speaker 2: The trans part of this movie is not the part
Speaker 2: that either of us says, any him a little bit, like,
Speaker 2: I know, I know, no one probably thinks that. I
Speaker 2: thought that, like, the story was really compelling, and then
Speaker 2: they just wrapped it in the weirdest It was like
Speaker 2: a hot dog wrapped in cotton candy or some thing,
Speaker 2: like why did.
Speaker 1: We do this?
Speaker 2: I don't understand.
Speaker 3: I would try that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would too. I should have thought up a
Speaker 2: better example. Yeah, worse one gotten candy wrapped in bacon. No,
Speaker 2: I'm me in again, damn it, man, No, I'm just hungry,
Speaker 2: but I gotta call.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, I don't know. There's some great
Speaker 2: movies though, I don't.
Speaker 3: Know there are. Yeah, it was it was a tough year,
Speaker 3: and I'm glad I ended up getting to see so many.
Speaker 2: I had to really cram the last like saying, I
Speaker 2: expected to like Nickel Boys more than I did. Even
Speaker 2: though I thought it was good, it just didn't the
Speaker 2: thing you think because you read it too correct.
Speaker 3: Yes, so the thing like you. I was wondering how
Speaker 3: they were going to make Nickel Boys work as a movie,
Speaker 3: because yes, there's a pretty great reveal that happens in
Speaker 3: the film or in the book. It's much harder to
Speaker 3: do that with absolutely the film, and it wasn't as effective.
Speaker 3: It felt like it took They did as good as
Speaker 3: they could, but it took some of that or something
Speaker 3: or like. But by having it as the POV, you know,
Speaker 3: from the character's point of view, it was so close
Speaker 3: to being able to work. But it made that reveal
Speaker 3: just it not as as effective as the book. I
Speaker 3: get that, but I thought it was beautifully shot at
Speaker 3: that part. I'm with you, was was it even up
Speaker 3: for cinematography? Because I feel like it's it was not
Speaker 3: up for cinematography. I feel like that's kind of a
Speaker 3: shame because it was a really beautiful movie. It was
Speaker 3: very kind of an artsy film in that sense. But no,
Speaker 3: I mean I was. I was happy with it, and honestly,
Speaker 3: angeneu Ellis is so good, great, like I wish, And
Speaker 3: then I think, well, dude, I would have picked her
Speaker 3: for supporting actress over Isabella Rosselini. Are we kidding?
Speaker 2: No, that's a super good point, super good point.
Speaker 3: After seeing that, now, I feel like that's kind of
Speaker 3: a snub.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah, that's a good call. That's a good call.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really I liked the movie making part of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I get that. I really like to complete
Speaker 2: Unknown too. I thought that was sound was really fun. Again.
Speaker 2: I don't know, like I'm not going to be mad
Speaker 2: when it doesn't win more. But I was like, man,
Speaker 2: this is really good.
Speaker 3: Like well, and especially those biopics a lot of times
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, let's move along.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't feel that way in that one very much,
Speaker 2: if even at all. I don't remember thinking that.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it didn't try and jam pack, you know,
Speaker 3: a whole life into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, which is such a yeah, but yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: with you. Well, we'll see what happens, Bud. Congrats on
Speaker 2: winning again. Good for you.
Speaker 3: I don't know, we like we only differed the ones
Speaker 3: where we're like, I don't know, maybe this one. So yes,
Speaker 3: enjoy the Oscars everyone. It should be fun. We'll see
Speaker 3: who wins the what do we call the GROUCHIESE?
Speaker 2: Yes, all that stuff too. What do you remember offhand?
Speaker 2: Rob when they are Is it like Mark?
Speaker 4: It is?
Speaker 3: Yes, it's the first Sunday in March. March second time?
Speaker 2: Okay? Cool? Nice?
Speaker 3: So yeah, let's want to play gaap babe too. Well.
Speaker 3: I went to X just a little while ago and
Speaker 3: I was like, Hey, why don't you give me the
Speaker 3: name of an actor actress that's one in Oscar and
Speaker 3: also has a large filmography. I wish I would have
Speaker 3: done it longer ago or a while ago, because I
Speaker 3: didn't get a lot of option. That's fair, but it
Speaker 3: could I there is one option I don't think that
Speaker 3: we've ever used it. I'm going to start with the
Speaker 3: one I think we should go. Okay, and that's Sandra Bullock.
Speaker 3: We also had, We've also had Betty Davis, Alec Guinness,
Speaker 3: Laurence Olivier can't do any of those, and then we
Speaker 3: have Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren. Meryl Streep, I would
Speaker 3: be shocked if we haven't used Meryl Streep, but if
Speaker 3: we haven't, I don't know for sure. I could definitely
Speaker 3: do Meryl Streep or Sandra Bullock.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna get my ace kicked. Let's do Sandy B.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'll have a better shot there.
Speaker 3: Right, Sandy By, thanks to everyone. Yeah, I think so. Well.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Meryl Streep's done all your movies, dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go with Sandy B.
Speaker 3: Sandy B. It is thank you Nancy Hamer, Nancy and
Speaker 3: everyone for responding to us. But we're going to use
Speaker 3: your suggestion, Sandy Be. Let's go with it. What you've got.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Speed.
Speaker 3: Nice. We did that one just this last year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that movie. It's really really good.
Speaker 3: It's a great movie. Let's go Speed to Cruise Control.
Speaker 3: Then let's just get that out.
Speaker 2: Of the way. That was what I was holding on to.
Speaker 2: No I knew it, Ah, Sandy B. I think the
Speaker 2: one the Blindside's what she won the oscar for, right,
Speaker 2: she sure did.
Speaker 3: That was gonna be my next one. What is Oh,
Speaker 3: let's go Miss Congeniality.
Speaker 2: Miss Congeniality two.
Speaker 3: There we go. I think, oh it does.
Speaker 2: I know what it is? I do geniality too.
Speaker 3: M mm hmmm. I think I know what it is.
Speaker 3: M m. You can have, but I think it's armed
Speaker 3: and fast, right, it.
Speaker 2: Totally is because that sounds right. Yeah, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 3: I'm going to pick the heat.
Speaker 2: It's a great I really liked that movie that. It
Speaker 2: was so funny, really really good.

Speaker 2: Yeah, that doesn't help me. Yeah, bird.
Speaker 3: Bird. Oh yeah, we did not do an episode on that.
Speaker 3: Scary but what is it called bird? There's another word
Speaker 3: and it also starts with the it's not black bird

Speaker 2: what my problem is right now.

Speaker 3: were pausing so much. But we have The Net, which
Speaker 3: I also watched a lot back in the day. I
Speaker 3: remember her ordering a pizza and.

Speaker 3: that I loved back in the day. Those very well, okay,

Speaker 3: She kind of was the star in Ocean's.
Speaker 2: Eight right, Oh yeah, good call for.
Speaker 3: A really terrible movie called All About Steve with her
Speaker 3: and oh yeah, Bradley Cooper. Yes, that's a good one
Speaker 3: for the what's it called movie grid Game? She directed
Speaker 3: one called Hope Floats that I didn't care for. I
Speaker 3: never saw that, and she played Harper Lee in the
Speaker 3: Doppelganger film of Capodi called Infamous.
Speaker 2: Wow, look at you.
Speaker 3: I mean I could keep going. There's murder by numbers there.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's just no practical magic.
Speaker 2: Oh I did see that. I was gonna say, like,
Speaker 2: I haven't seen any of these movies you're saying, so
Speaker 2: maybe I just.
Speaker 3: Real forces of nature. I remember I. I was definitely
Speaker 3: into Sandy b Man loved me some Sandy be.
Speaker 2: Not producer actress. Yeah, fifty four movies. Bullet Train should
Speaker 2: have got that, uh, the unfreak.
