And my apologies to anyone who goes through life now thinking Carey Mulligan looks just like Jeffrey Wright because of this video. 🙂 Also, if you’re reading this… I’ve officially changed my prediction for animated short to War is Over.

Hello all... somebody says I got it all wrong, but here is my ballot for Sunday: 1. The Loan of Interest 2. The Holduppers 3. Fall of Anatomy 4. Oppensesame 5. American Science Fiction 6. Past Tense 7. Porn Things 8. Flowers of the Killer Moon 9. Maestro card 10. Barbie-Q

Um… Your pictures are off on best actress. You have Carey Mulligan labeled as Sandra Huller, and you have Jeffrey Wright labeled as Carey Mulligan. Regardless, I’m rooting for my favorite movie Oppenheimer!! I’m pretty positive it will win too! 😊 Also, I’m still waiting for the Oscar stack video! I love that series! One final thing, I hope they remember to add Akira Toriyama(creator of the Dragon Ball franchise) to the “In Memoriam” section. That anime meant soooo much to sooo many people.

I agree with most of your picks but I think Henry Sugar in Live action short is a red herring. The things that the academy usually go for in this category - political resonance, tear-jerking emotion, a clear-cut message - aren’t there with Henry Sugar. Red, White, and Blue has everything that the Oscars usually go for in this category. Any other year, it would be the clear winner. I think folks are too focused on Wes Anderson being a big name and not having an Oscar. I predict Wes Anderson to lose

Great video! I'm predicting pretty much the same, which I hate! It is a little too predictable this year!

Great stuff Ryan as always. It feels like this year, we all get at least 20 correct. Last year, Costume and Production Design were from left field. Something tells me that Oppy will win Production Design, but I am probably going to say Poor Things. My only disagree would be on Gladstone's performance being subtle. I don't necessarily buy that narrative. I have seen the film multiple times (absolutely dig the film), and I think her performance is both subtle and loud. When you look at the scenes where she's ill and the scenes where she's grieving the loss of a loved one (no spoilers from me), there's a lot of passion and heartbreak on the screen. I am going to go with Gladstone as well. I think the Academy likes her narrative. They like her symbolic representation. Plus, you have that High School photo of her winning "Most likely to win an Oscar". My only hesitation is that she didn't get a BAFTA nomination. Since 2000, only Swank and Bullock won Best Actress without a BAFTA nod, and both of their films had screener issues and got 0 BAFTAs. But then again, Melissa Leo, Regina King, and Denzel Washington didn't get BAFTA nominations either and they still won. So I think it is a toss-up between the Stones. Nobody should be surprised if either one wins.

Do not get the sex thing with Poor Things. They were all very brief sex scenes. Much more to it than that.

There was so much fuss about it, I watched it expecting something scandalous and it was... almost tame.

Actually we are almost completely the same Ryan, I just went with War Is Over! for Animated Short. I went with Lily based on her SAG win (there was so much enthusiasm from her peers when she won), I think that win tipped the scale in her favor. I too split Costume Design/Production Design. For some reason in Costume Design they like to reward the same designer plus there are so many more costumes on multiple characters in Barbie where as in Poor Things they just center mostly around Emma Stone. Poor Things won both the BAFTA & Guild over Barbie in Production Design so that's why I'm leaning in that direction. As for Visual Effects any of those 3 movies could win & in a category with no consensus or Best Picture nominee I'm going with the best received movie & passion pick in Godzilla Minus One. Good Luck on Sunday Ryan!!! Cheers.

As for Costume Design/Production Design I think it either splits the way we think it will or Poor Things will win both. Visual Effects is definitely the hardest category to predict outside of Actress and will be either Godzilla Minus One or The Creator. Of course, we have to have some sort of challenge otherwise it would be too easy LOL. I didn't realize until after that the only movie we don't have winning something is Past Lives. They don't typically spread the wealth that much so I hope we're right, fingers crossed!!!

😂 They already have the wrong actress

I'm predicting a surprise upset in Lead Actress for Jeffrey Wright. No guts no glory.

I have been watching Oscar videos basically all week, and when it comes to the best actress race, everything I hear about a possibly Lily Gladstone win is She has the narrative, she just won SAG, she will be the first indigenous person to win an Oscar, She will be the only win in KOTFM, Emma Stone already has an Oscar, Emma stone doesn't need another Oscar, Emma Stone will be so happy if Lily Gladstone wins.......etc etc...and nobody is saying Lily Gladstone will win the Oscar because Lily Gladstone gave a flat-out better performance than Emma Stone. Do you know why? BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T. Because Emma Stone's performance is MILES ABOVE AND BEYOND what Lily Gladstone did. I hope Oscar voters did not have their heads up their asses when marking their ballets and really focused on the quality and skill of the performance because If Lily wins, it will be for all the above things mentioned and not because it was the best performance of the year.

If the entire movie of Barbie took place in Barbieland, it should probably win production design, but so much of it took place in LA - that should tip the scales in Poor Things favor (IMO); Billie Eilish will likely win her second Oscar, but I still feel the best Barbie song is Dance the Night - hope Dua Lipa performs at the show!

Emma started earlier than Lily. Emma quit high school to pursue acting, but Lily finished college. Also, as an Indigenous American, it was tougher for Lily to get work because filmmakers typically write stories for white people (i.e. Emma could be cast as a half Native Hawaiian in 'Aloha' while someone full Indigenous like Lily could not), so Lily had less opportunity than Emma, hence Lily being a "newcomer" compared to Emma. Less name recognition because later start and less opportunity.

Curious as to how "both" sides of the aisle are banning books? Please tell me what books Democrats are trying to ban?? I too, think that "The ABCs of Book Banning" isn't the greatest short, but for reasons like it looked more like a powerpoint presentation, and that, it didn't convey all of the emotion it could have. In other words it could have been made better, and should have gone in even harder than it did. Censorship of any books is wrong, but when the books being banned are about the LGBTQIA+ community, or people of color, that's clearly saying something.

I personally don’t understand why Lily Gladstone is best actress when her role was a supporting one and she wasn’t the main focal point of the movie!🤷🏾‍♀️… People also need to stop doing the Michelle Yeoh narrative based on the race issue because MY is more of an accomplished actress with way more experience in Hollyweird unlike Lily Gladstone, who is more of s breakthrough actress!

Narrative shouldn't be the determining factor. Acting is acting. Lily is competing against an actress who played a child in a woman body reanimated, going through several human stages, carrying the whole movie as the focus of the entire story in a fun strange movie. Meanwhile, she has a supporting role, one that everyone agrees SHOULD BE THE FOCUS BUT IT IS NOT, in a long movie with very few surprises that suffers from a miscast Leonardo DiCaprio as the actual main character.

Lily will win because of narrative, the members are trying to feel good voting for her because of the genocide to the indigenous people, which is disappointing because she’s not a lead role. She will steal it from true leads like Hüller and Stone.

I think people should stop peddling this Emma/Cate front runner yielding to "history." Both Lily and Michelle won more critics' prizes against their competitors prior to the televised awards. Emma and Cate were not necessarily the de facto winners like so many pundits had fantasized. This idea that they gave "better" performances but in the end had to give in to the minorities is really insulting and dare I say it... "raci...."

Apologies if that’s how it comes across. The race is tight because both performances are exceptional in very different way. There’s passion for both. And in terms of the televised vs. critics prizes, we know televised awards are really the major force that pushes actors across the finish line. I hold no fantasies about Emma being the de facto winner nor state the performance as being better. They’ve shared the televised awards and it’s a close race. It’s that simple. So now we are just looking very closely on other minute factors that could be tipping points. Saying all that. I take what you say to heart and if the clinical approach came across that way, I’ll be sure to think deeper about my approach.

Sadly the oscars are very much about optics nowadays and if you look at anonymous ballots (if those are real) there seem to barely be any voters who just vote their favorite thing there‘s always some external factors and this whole „you‘re racist if you want this white woman to win over making history“ thing is very much looming over them as much as people wanna deny it it‘s real. There‘s too much white guilt in the wrong places in america. It should be in politics but instead it‘s in hollywood awards voting bodies lol. Michelle was disappointing ngl but her movie was the most beloved of the season by far so I get it. Flower moon on the other hand has had 0 momentum since before the nominations even came out and didnt win any guilds. SAG loves a narrative and Lily certainly has that but the actors branch is only like a 10th of the whole voting body and we dont know how close SAG was so we dont know how close Emma was and what other factions are voting for but I have a little hope for emma since poor things seems to be more widely embraced even if lily is kinda seperated from her movie.
