96th Oscars Wrap Up

 THE 96TH ACADEMY AWARDS

Host: Jimmy Kimmel

Winners: Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan, Cillian Murphy, Emma Stone, Robert Downey Jr, and Da'Vine Joy Randolph

Notable Occurrences/Trivia: 

+Second year in a row that the Best Picture winner takes home 7 awards.

+Oppenheimer is the highest grossing Best Picture winner since Lord of the Rings: Return of the Kings 20 years ago.

+Third year in a row that the Best Picture winner opened before Fall. 

+The show airs an hour earlier than its usual 8/5PM time, but is delayed for minutes due to protests interrupting traffic. 

+Billie Eilish was the first person born in the 21st century to win an Academy Award. Now, she has two. 

The Good:

+"I'm Just Ken" and everything about it. I'm not even a fan of that song, as I thought the other two original songs from Barbie were better. But Gosling is an absolute star and someone that crowd was there for. Turning his co-stars into fangirls and bringing the audience to their feet, it was easily the best performance since "Shallow" from 5 years ago. 

+I got my wish of more past winners/nominees. About 3/4 of the presenters were past winners/nominees. 

+In addition to that, I'm glad more people from the ensembles of the nominated films were in the audience. 

+One thing they have got consistently right over the years is the stage. It looked great, and I love the color changes throughout the night. 

+Lots of cutaways to Sandra Hüller and Messi. After the controversy over Messi not being there, he ended up being a big part of the night. Funny closing the show by him peeing on Matt Damon's Hollywood star. (ETA: Apparently that was not the real Messi. LOL. Oops.)

+The anniversary of the streaker bit - I didn't expect that.

+The comedy bits in the middle worked really well. Kate and America together, John Cena naked, and John Mulaney recapping Field of Dreams, the Twins reunion facing off with Keaton = gold. 

+The show clocking in at under 3.5 hours and moving pretty briskly. See it can be done! It probably helped that two of the winners weren't there. It also helped having presenters do two categories so they aren't constantly introducing people. Doing the Best Picture clips right after the commercial break and having an announcer intro the songs also helped. 

+I loved how the screenplay clips showed fave lines from the movies. The sound clips were also good, and they did the thing with Makeup where they show the actors getting madeover. Love that!

+Lots of standing ovations. It just adds energy, I know some people don't like it. 

+Great speeches, I don't think there was a dud speech of the night. Cord Jefferson, Emma Stone, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Jonathan Glazer, and the 20 Days In Mariupol people were all great. 

+And such a fun bit with Blunt and Gosling. Ryan really won the night. Also cool to give stunts a shoutout. Now, just give them their own category. 

The Bad:

+So Michelle Pfeiffer apparently had a family emergency and couldn't present...

+...thus leaving Pacino to do it on his own. Pacino announced the Best Picture winner without any fanfare - no clip package, no drumroll. Even though everyone knew what the winner was, it still left the evening with an anticlimactic end. I think this is partly why we don't get many of our elder winners/legends presenting. They just seem lost by themselves.

+The five presenter format didn't work as well this time as it did 15 years ago. The men - outside of Nicolas Cage - just can't sell this. The women did better, their writing was better, and some nominees were clearly moved, but I suspect the clips will be back next year. The first time it was done only Best Supporting Actor previous lineup didn't get a standing ovation, this time only the Lead Actress lineup did.

+Perhaps she didn't want to present, but Sissy Spacek was there and I and many others would have loved to have seen her on the stage. 

+The one thing the winner presenters did do was add a sense of history to the occasion. Outside of that and the stunt montage, there was a distinct lack of history and film clips. You know I love those.  

+Actual clips from the Best Picture nominees instead of trailer excerpts or montages, please. 

+The non-Barbie/Flower Moon performances were limp.

+Despite some good comedy in the middle, Octavia and Melissa bombed. That was painful. 

+The In Memoriam continues to be a problem area. It should be easy to get right, and yet we get dancing, names/faces in the background, people left out, etc etc. I've said it before, but maybe the Academy should just make a tribute video like TCM does and leave it off the broadcast. 

+I'm not sure about that hallway where presenters are waiting, winners walk off. It just seemed like everyone was awkwardly avoiding the camera. 

+Some of the transitions: a Past Lives clip ends with the Beetlejuice music into'ing Keaton & O'Hara, and then "I'm Just Ken" after the 20 Days In Mariupol win. Maybe read the room a little more?

+I like Kimmel and have mostly enjoyed his four times hosting, but he's always felt like a placeholder. I hope this is his last time hosting, as there are clearly some great potential hosts waiting in the wings. "Isn't it past your jailtime?" was an all-timer, though. 

Best Dressed:

Ooof rough night for fashion. It feels like fashions have really been off for the past several years at almost every awards. I liked Danielle Brooks, Carey Mulligan, Anya Taylor-Joy, Sandra Hüller, and Greta Gerwig. In the end, I'm going with a tie for Best Dressed for America Ferrera and Zendaya.

Good show overall! And that's it for Award Season 2023. I'll probably just update my Movies Watched List throughout the year until the fall. I know I've stopped doing box-office predictions and trailer postings. I guess this blog will just be award season, horrorfest, and keeping track of what movies I've watched. I am going to do a ranking of 10 previous winners in the top 8 categories. I did it over 10 years ago, so it's now due. 

After last year, I was glad I didn't have to look up how to type TÁR anymore. This year, it was Hüller. Next year...???

BEST ANIMATED SHORT: WAR IS OVER

BEST DOCUMENTARY - SHORT SUBJECT: THE LAST REPAIR SHOP

18/23 (+5 alts).

Minus a few hiccups, I thought that was a good show? It started out a little rough, and the five presenter thing was much better the first time, but it was one of the shorter ceremonies and the 2nd hour until the end was filled with memorable moments. 3hrs 20min-ish, and it would have been over earlier but the celebrities got held up because of protests. 

It seemed like they went with the "right" (i.e. internet approved) winners until Best Actress. I'm seeing lots of backlash already (as expected) to Emma, but her speech was great. 19 years ago, men of color won supporting and leading, but it's yet to happen to the women. 

"I'm Just Ken" was an absolute all-timer. Gosling may have been the big winner of the night and he didn't even take home a trophy. John Cena, too. 

I like Kimmel but it may be time for him to retire this gig. John Mulaney is right there!

But I must know - WHERE THE FUCK WAS MICHELLE PFEIFFER?!?!?!?

Watch the Oscars!

Gosling rehearses his big number

The 96th Academy Awards airs Sunday March 10th on ABC at 7PM Eastern, which is an hour earlier than usual. The show will have just half an hour of official red carpet coverage beginning at 6:30PM, and an episode of Abbott Elementary will follow the broadcast. E! will be doing coverage starting at 2:00PM Eastern, and will have post-show coverage at about 10:30PM. ABC will also be running coverage early in the day from 1-4PM. 

Jimmy Kimmel returns as host for a fourth time.

The producers of this year's telecast have smartly decided to bring back the five previous winners presentation format that helped make the 81st ceremony (aired in early 2009) one of the best ever. I'm a little disappointed they announced the presenters in advance, as the previous time the lineup was kept under wraps. In fact, they didn't even announce they were going to do that last time, but it leaked right before the ceremony. I've been advocating for more past winners for years, so this delivers that. Last year's show was a vast improvement over the previous two, and fingers crossed that this ceremony continues the trend. 

Kate and America get ready for some banter

Scheduled presenters for this year include Mahershala Ali, Bad Bunny, Emily Blunt, Nicolas Cage, Jamie Lee Curtis, Cynthia Erivo, America Ferrera, Sally Field, Brendan Fraser, Ryan Gosling, Ariana Grande, Chris Hemsworth, Dwayne Johnson, Michael Keaton, Regina King, Ben Kingsley, Jessica Lange, Jennifer Lawrence, Melissa McCarthy, Matthew McConaughey, Kate McKinnon, Rita Moreno, John Mulaney, Lupita Nyong'o, Catherine O'Hara, Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ke Huy Quan, Issa Rae, Tim Robbins, Sam Rockwell, Octavia Spencer, Steven Spielberg, Mary Steenburgen, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlize Theron, Christoph Waltz, Forest Whitaker, Michelle Yeoh, Ramy Youssef, and Zendaya. 

Scheduled performers include Ryan Gosling with Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt; Billie Eilish and Finneas; Jon Batiste; Becky G; and Scott George with The Osage Singers. 

Something we'll see in the next few years...

Yes, O'Hara with 2 seems right.

After years of saying Sleepyskunk should be doing montages for the Academy, they finally listened. This is superb:

Happy Oscars!

If I Picked the Winners...

 (I only make my picks in categories where I've seen every nominee.)

Visual Effects: Godzilla Minus One

While I think The Creator's effects are overall better, I just can't help but root for this.

Sound: The Zone of Interest

It would be an entirely different film with a different sound design. 

Song: "What Was I Made For? - Barbie

Would love to have voted for "Dance the Night", but alas...

Makeup and Hairstyling: Poor Things

Production Design: Poor Things

Costume Design: Poor Things

Original Score: Poor Things

Cinematography: Poor Things

Film Editing: Oppenheimer

(Thanks to Neon for not releasing Robot Dreams until MAY - ?!?!?! - so I can't do Animated Feature.)

Adapted Screenplay: The Zone of Interest

Original Screenplay: Past Lives

Supporting Actor (ranked):

1. Ruffalo

2. De Niro

3. Gosling

4. Downey Jr

5. Brown

Supporting Actress:

1. Randolph

2. Foster

3. Brooks

4. Blunt

5. Ferrera

Leading Actor: 

1. Giamatti

2. Murphy

3. Wright

4. Domingo

5. Cooper

Leading Actress:

1. Hüller

2. Stone

3. Gladstone

4. Mulligan

5. Bening

Directing: I think I might actually vote for Nolan. If only because I find his haters just as insufferable as his fans. 

Best Picture - My Personal Ranking:

1. Past Lives

2. Poor Things

3. The Zone of Interest

4. The Holdovers

5. Oppenheimer

6. Killers of the Flower Moon

7. Anatomy of a Fall

8. Barbie

9. American Fiction

10. Maestro

96th Oscars Winner Predix!

VISUAL EFFECTS:

The Creator - Godzilla Minus One - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 - Napoleon

Probably one of the most up in the air races of the night. I'd say this is between Creator and Godzilla, though history would seem to lean Napoleon given the connection between Production Design and this category of late. Godzilla would be a very popular winner, but it's clear a victory would be more for the film than the actual effects work. That gives a slight edge to THE CREATOR.

SOUND:

The Creator - Maestro - Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 - Oppenheimer - The Zone of Interest

While Zone was a nice surprise at BAFTA, I think OPPENHEIMER will prevail.

ORIGINAL SONG:

"The Fire Inside" - Flamin' Hot

"I'm Just Ken" - Barbie

"It Never Went Away" - American Symphony

"Wahzhazhe (A Song For My People)" - Killers of the Flower Moon

"What Was I Made For?" - Barbie

Two-time Academy Award Winner Billie Eilish for "What Was I Made For?"

ORIGINAL SCORE:

American Fiction - Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - Killers of the Flower Moon - Oppenheimer - Poor Things

OPPENHEIMER continues its tech streak.

MAKEUP AND HAIRSTYLING:

Golda - Maestro - Oppenheimer - Poor Things - Society of the Snow

Maestro and Poor Things will battle it out, and I'm thinking the "Jewface" accusations might hurt the former. A mini-streak of wins for POOR THINGS begins.

PRODUCTION DESIGN:

Barbie - Killers of the Flower Moon - Napoleon - Oppenheimer - Poor Things

Barbie had all the heat at the start of the season, but POOR THINGS has won its share of awards in this category. 

COSTUME DESIGN:

Barbie - Killers of the Flower Moon - Napoleon - Oppenheimer - Poor Things

Same as above, POOR THINGS takes this over Barbie. Just barely. 

FILM EDITING:

Anatomy of a Fall - The Holdovers - Killers of the Flower Moon - Oppenheimer - Poor Things

Another win for OPPENHEIMER. 

CINEMATOGRAPHY:

El Conde - Killers of the Flower Moon - Maestro - Oppenheimer - Poor Things

Yet another trophy for OPPENHEIMER. 

INTERNATIONAL FEATURE:

IO Capitano - Perfect Days - Society of the Snow - The Teachers' Lounge - The Zone of Interest

THE ZONE OF INTEREST has the Best Picture edge. 

DOCUMENTARY FEATURE: 

Bobi Wine: The People's President - The Eternal Memory - Four Daughters - To Kill a Tiger - 20 Days In Mariupol

20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL wins. 

ANIMATED FEATURE:

The Boy and the Heron - Elemental - Nimona - Robot Dreams - Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

I know the internet would love a Heron win, I just think SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE is just too big to lose, but it will be close.

ADAPTED SCREENPLAY:

American Fiction - Barbie - Oppenheimer - Poor Things - The Zone of Interest

Interesting to note that this is one of the few times Barbie has been put in adapted, but it probably won't be enough to beat AMERICAN FICTION. 

ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY:

Anatomy of a Fall - The Holdovers - Maestro - May December - Past Lives

The Holdovers and Past Lives will get a decent share of votes, but it won't be quite enough to take down ANATOMY OF A FALL.

ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE:

Sterling K. Brown - American Fiction

Robert De Niro - Killers of the Flower Moon

Robert Downey Jr - Oppenheimer

Ryan Gosling - Barbie

Mark Ruffalo - Poor Things

ROBERT DOWNEY JR will complete his sweep. 

ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE:

Emily Blunt - Oppenheimer

Danielle Brooks - The Color Purple

America Ferrera - Barbie

Jodie Foster - Nyad

Da'Vine Joy Randolph - The Holdovers

DA'VINE JOY RANDOLPH will complete her sweep.

ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE:

Bradley Cooper - Maestro

Colman Domingo - Rustin

Paul Giamatti - The Holdovers

Cillian Murphy - Oppenheimer

Jeffrey Wright - American Fiction

21 years later, CILLIAN MURPHY wins an Oscar.

ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE:

Annette Bening - Nyad

Lily Gladstone - Killers of the Flower Moon

Sandra Hüller - Anatomy of a Fall

Carey Mulligan - Maestro

Emma Stone - Poor Things

One of those years where it would be great to see the final tally, but I suspect LILY GLADSTONE wins. It's gonna be close. 

DIRECTING:

Justine Triet - Anatomy of a Fall

Martin Scorsese - Killers of the Flower Moon

Christopher Nolan - Oppenheimer

Yorgos Lanthimos - Poor Things

Jonathan Glazer - The Zone of Interest

CHRISTOPHER NOLAN wins an Oscar. And corners of the internet rejoice/meltdown.

BEST PICTURE:

American Fiction

Anatomy of a Fall

Barbie

The Holdovers

Killers of the Flower Moon

Maestro

Oppenheimer

Past Lives

Poor Things

The Zone of Interest

The big debate will be what was second to OPPENHEIMER, but it's almost pointless.  

Oppenheimer is a bit of a unicorn that the Academy desperately needs. For the past decade and a half, a good amount of the top eight winners have matched the Independent Spirit Awards. The Oscars needed a big studio film to win across the board, and now they have it. Throw in that the film has a 90 on Metacritic, appeared on over 400 top 10 lists, has a cast featuring A-listers and award winners, has a timely subject matter that Hollywood can pat itself on the back by honoring, and one of the top directors currently working. Now take all that, and then add that it made nearly a billion dollars worldwide, which would make it the highest grossing Best Picture winner in 20 years. It's easy to see why Oppenheimer swept through award season.
