What's your favorite Oscar nomination this year? Let us know in the comments!

[@blackforest825]

Anette Benning for sure. She killed it. Least favorite: America Ferrara. What fresh hell? Shoulda gone to Moore or Cruz.

[@BottleConcreteBlond]

Definitely Coleman Domingo. He won't win, but I'm so happy for him!

[@tanosdiveinotoive123]

Oppie in every category maybe except costumes.

[@rebekahp4083]

I’m so glad you brought up the True Detective connection, this is my new favorite conspiracy theory that starring in True Detective helps your chances at the Oscars. Not only did True Detective help Jodie Foster this year and Matthew McConaughey in 2015, but it goes deeper. Rachel McAdams got a surprise nomination for supporting actress in Spotlight the year she was a costar of True Detective AND Mahershala Ali won best supporting actor for Green Book the year he was the star of season 3 of True Detective. Coincidence? I think yes but given how conspiratorial True Detective is, I love this weird connection that seems to keep happening.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

It's a fun theory!

[@HistoryfortheAges]

Oppenheimer was excellent. As a history professor I really enjoyed it. Much better than Napoleon! I made historical reviews of both if anyone wants to check them out.

[@redatticus7606]

Loving listening to you guys on a Saturday morning with coffee in hand - We want MORE LIVE LIVE LIVE.....pleeeeese 🙏🤣

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Good morning, you got it!

[@ramirezs316]

Honestly, Chris Nolan is a legend for including that quote during that scene 😂

[@SuperWhofan1]

Hollywood has already made up its mind to award Oppenheimer as best pic. I would pick Flower Moon as the best.

[@422katieleigh]

Would you guys be open to doing a (future) stream slightly later in the day?

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Yes, certainly! What time do you like?

[@kellyrob4296]

Gosh, l concur with Alonso saying Emily Blunt was basically having a fit in slow motion. What a fabulous description! He didn’t say that during the review, did he, cuz I feel I would’ve remembered that line?!!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

He’s got a way with words!

[@pesky716]

Across the Spiderverse not being nominated for Original Score is the largest omission not being discussed.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Very good point!

[@nikosvault]

I doubt anyone under 35 saw that movie. Certainly not most Academy members.

[@patcurrie9888]

Oppenheimer for the win! Finally Christopher Nolan will get his Oscar. Barbie was a fun popcorn movie with way too over the top messaging no wonder the Academy isn't taking it too seriously. Maestro doesn't have a chance, too slow. I kept thinking when will he perform? in the 3rd act finally. Poor Things was very artsy and well acted. I didn't need to see all of Emma Stone or the too porno scenes. One graphic scene could have been okay and the rest suggested scenes. We felt shocked several times, all three of us. Still have to see; The Holdovers, American Fiction, Nyad, All of us Strangers and Anatomy of a Fall.

[@C_M_R]

For clarity: I only think Lily Gladstone will win due to the trauma endured by her character because it reminds me of how Lupita Nyong'o won her Oscar for 12 YEARS A SLAVE. Emma Stone should win, IMO, because her role in POOR THINGS is so bold and complex.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Thanks for clarifying and sharing some of your time with us!

[@KnarfStein]

She definitely deserves a nomination, but I almost don't want her to be nominated, because that crying scene is beyond ridiculous.

[@OldBluesChapterandVerse]

The English Patient is a masterpiece. Braveheart has problems, certainly, but it’s beautifully shot and scored. Say what you want about Mel Gibson, the man is one helluva filmmaker. And that Alonso didn’t ever finish Gladiator is shameful. I just saw Claire Foy’s Letterboxd four favorites reel, and she chose Gladiator as one of her favorite films of all-time. I recently rewatched it, and I think Gladiator is probably the best-acted film of its kind ever made. As to The King’s Speech: I’ve probably seen it four times.

[@jimakosdimitri]

Anybody feel that there’s a chance that Sandra will be a spoiler between Lily/Emma similar to how Olivia Colman was for Glenn Close/Gaga?

[@jamesonstalanthasyu]

Spealing of cast/crew problems, i recall all the hoopla and anger when Cooper said he doesnt allow chairs on his sets, when so many of the Oppenheimer cast said Nolan did the same too and i dont recall all the social media impact.

[@bev9708]

I fell asleep waiting for you last night!🤷🏻‍♀️ My favourite nom was the special effects nod for Godzilla Minus One… I literally yelped out loud!! Also it’s the first ever special effects nom for Japan!! I was particularly happy for the Nyad ladies too , though neither of them stand a chance , AND for Ryan , not because it is unquestionably richly deserved but mostly because we ALL surely wanna see him perform at the ceremony !!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

We yelped too! Sorry to miss you, Bev.

[@nancykerrigan]

Re: The Color Purple. I remember seeing Taraji discuss in her interviews the difficulties of being a Black working actor. Then I heard (through gossip no direct source) that the cast didn't get the best treatment. Like lack of craft services and transportation to take them to and form set. I, too, have never seen Gladiator in its entirety. 😆You're not alone, Alonso. I, too am pulling for Ryan to perform I'm Just Ken a the Oscars. I don't think he'll do it. He gives shy vibes to me. LOL. He didn't perform City of Stars for La La Land. I think RDJ is a lock mostly because he won most of the other awards and more of an "overdue" thing. I like Gosling's performance but think there are more stronger performances. I won't be mad at him winning because it's nice to see. Billie's song definitely a lock.

[@stevecatanio8532]

Thanks for the recap!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Our pleasure! Thanks for catching up with us.

[@matchesmalone2625]

Have you guys not watched all of Downey Jr’s speeches during the award circuit? He’s a lock for supporting actor!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Apparently we have not.

[@MALOSANMAKA13]

I think that Ferrera and Blunt totally doesn't deserve their nominations...Penelope Cruz was like a 5 times better than both of them, same goes for Vanessa Kirby in Napoleon and Julianne Moore in May December... - And Ryan Gosling nomination? If that cartoonish (and it was funny) performance deserve Oscar nomination... than for example Jim Carrey deserved Oscar nomination for every third role he is been playing in his career (and he obviously was robbed for The Truman Show and Man on the Moon nomination)...Dominic Sessa, Dar Salim in The Covenant, even Charles Melton and this young boy/actor from Anatomy of a Fall are a lot better than Gosling/Ken role. And also - Braveheart was horrible? And Alonso agree?!?! WOW, for me it's a masterpiece of historic movie genre 10/10 ...I understand that's all subjective, but horrible? That's a totally hating for some reason or something else...

[@martymascarin486]

PS FYI Indigneous nominees: Canadian-born Chief Dan George for Little Big Man.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Good to know, thank you!

[@MattB0610]

I asked this in the chat but I’m not sure if you guys saw it. Do we think the exclusion of Gerwig and Robbie could lead to something similar to what happened with the Ben Affleck film Argo back in 2013? Where he was overlooked for director and actor, and people were outraged and that narrative lasted long enough to get Argo to win best picture? I feel like we could be looking at a similar situation here…

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Hmm, that is an interesting theory!

[@fenixdelapenumbra]

Really hope that is not the case

[@Wiz83]

In Adapted Screenplay I would replace Barbie with Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, another movie directed by a woman and about women that in my opinion was way better.

[@tanosdiveinotoive123]

Oppie is going to sweep as it should. Its the best of the year and one of the best of the decade.

[@Slade347]

Regarding the International Feature Film category, I do agree that the way they do it now is unfair, especially with the politics involved. On the other hand, if they take away the one film per country rule, I can't help but think that 90 % of the nominees would be from western Europe and/or Japan.

[@dineshrashid2766]

Don’t worry Alonso, with Kimmel hosting again, I doubt he would let Oppenheimer (a film with Matt Damon in it) win best picture. He might even swap what’s in the envelopes and make sure Oppenheimer gets wrongly announced as best picture and then make Nolan and the Oppenhomies say Barbie is the actual best picture winner.

[@mark2graves-movies689]

Ryan Gosling is a great actor. His performance as Ken was entertaining. But it is not a better performance than some of the other nominees.

[@rogerbell8429]

Great to see Robot Dreams nominated. It had a really satisfying story.

[@juanvsreviews]

I mean, the message of the Barbie movie is one thing but actually being good at acting is something unrelated. I mean Ryan was great, Margot was ok, also Ferrara was ok. I had fun watching it but it’s in no waaay a Best Picture candidate in my eyes with all due respect. My favorite movie of the year was Past Lives and was suprised Greta Lee and Celine Song didn’t get nominated; now that’s a sin!!

[@JPM1942]

There is a movie The Zone of Interest made in 2024. Why is it nominated for best picture of 2023?

[@BreakfastAllDay]

It came out at the end of 2023 for Oscar qualifying. We reviewed it here if you'd like to check out our thoughts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmKon3Zviralea8si=Al6trPLrbhlg4Ibf

[@BobSullivanAKABuffy]

I had my issues with Maestro and I'm sure I would've hated it had I watched it at home rather than its Landmark run. I am not a big Bradley fan. I think I last liked him before he won Sexiest Man from People.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Ha, were you not a fan of his A Star Is Born?

[@lileray1983]

Another fellow Salinas resident here. Love your guys’ reviews!!

Saladtown! Thanks so much.

[@teddykgb9971]

I was at the optometrist during this livestream, and then finally went to see Godzilla Minus One and LOVED it. If they play it here in black and white, I will definitely see it again.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

So you could probably really see Godzilla once you got out of your appointment! Must have been terrifying.

[@kellyrob4296]

Maybe the Academy was being ironic with Ryan getting a nom. JK, I know it’s supposedly a numbers game. But I definitely don’t think Greta was ‘snubbed’ since she didn’t get a director nom; it’s just not her turn yet, clearly.

[@andygilly14]

Hello guys! In my heart I would love for Lily Gladstone to win Best Actress but I won't be angry if Emma Stone wins becasue her performance is amazing...

[@jeremyslather]

I missed the live, but I will watch it now. It was full of surprises.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Thanks for catching up with us!

[@genlea9490]

Alonzo does not try even one bit to hide its unexplainable disdain of Oppenheimer. Can't wait for its kick on the teeth come Oscars night. Wait for it lonzi

[@BreakfastAllDay]

He just doesn't like it. We all have different tastes and that's OK :)

[@MovieJustin]

You both look great ❤

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Thank you!

[@Krb93205]

It’s interesting to say about May December that other films exploited real life tragedy, but that’s exactly what May December did, too. Exploited his real life abuse and trauma and then used direct dialogue from interviews of his in the scene where he confronts Julianne Moore.

[@rjl310]

Godzilla Minus One got screwed. Should’ve been nominated for best picture.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

We're just happy it got something!

[@laurajones1773]

Barbie wasn’t nominated for Makeup and Hairstyling because it wasn’t on the Oscar shortlist. The Academy prefer makeup and protestics than hairstyling.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Good to know, thank you!

[@riley9932]

Absolutely adored American Fiction as a film. I really don't feel Sterling's character was fleshed out or got much to do at all. To me it was very one note, thinly written, and stereotypical. A ripped masc closeted man who got caught cheating by his wife and has an addiction problem. He contradicts himself by complaining about living in Tucson with college gays yet we then see the young twink lovers he's getting with. Like we get presented with a messy flawed gay man and then there's no exploring of all these issues/complexities of his life. He was funny and Sterling is a great actor, it is a fine performance that compliments the sublime Jeffrey Wright who has a fully fleshed out character. But I do not see how this garners a nomination when Dominic Sessa, Charles Melton, Milo Machado Graner among others, truly shine and have lasting impact. Really feels like a lot of "buddy buddy good will" because he's so beloved by many in the actor's guild.

[@kandagger]

Remember the backlash that happened when Ben Affleck didn't get a director nod for ARGO and that propelled it to the Best Picture win so Ben could give a speech? Are there enough voters that can be zhooshed into protest voting for Greta and Margo by way of BARBIE for the Best Pic win?

[@SkolneyVikings]

The May December mass snub was ridiculous.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Disappointing for sure.

[@laurajones1773]

The Academy hates biopic documentaries. That’s the main reason why Won’t You Be My Neighbor? and Life Itself didn’t get nominated for Documentary Feature. I’m still annoyed that Won’t You Be My Neighbor? got snubbed.

[@thebrentrobinsonshow2882]

So basically Alonzo talked Christy into hating "Oppenheimer." This why I miss Siskel and Ebert, they would never back down.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Where do you get the idea that I hate Oppenheimer? Quite the contrary, it's on my top 10 list.

[@ChrisOliver4307]

@BreakfastAllDay umm, shoot I can't remember. You seemed to agree with Alonzo's disgust that it will win everything. Maybe that's because you love "Poor Things" so much

[@Phantoma3]

The biggest surprise for me was Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig missing out. What a joke.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Truly mind-boggling.

[@ClydeNut]

Robbie got nominated as a producer and Gerwig got nominated as a writer. Stop complaining.

[@Phantoma3]

@@ClydeNut Both of those are shared awards. Margot Robbie should have been nominated for best actress over Annette Bening in Nyad, which is not an Oscar worthy performance. Greta Gerwig should have been nominated for best Director over Yorgos Lanthimos for "Poor Things" which is such a dumb movie.

Thanks for posting this; sorry i missed your live stream; appreciated those noting what got overlooked; liked the question about over-rated Best Picture winners; though it was indeed entertaining, i agree with Alonso about CODA; interesting that Napoleon got technical noms only, perhaps reflective of the truncated theatrical release which really undermined Joaquin Phoenix & Vanessa Kirby; we're going to hold judgement until Apple posts the 4 hour version; Oppenheimer's female roles are BOTH under-written; Florence Pugh's dialogue was deliberately arch; and what the heck was that surreal business of her seeminly nude draped on Oppenheimer during his security clearance session, with her looking out of frame to a downcast Emily Blunt; and even the female scientists that worked on the project are nameless, reduced to being cheerleaders during Oppenheimer's address after the project. Appparently, Christopher Nolan apologized to Pugh for under-writing her character. Greatly enjoyed Poor Things, despite unlikely content. Thanks again for re-posting!!!

I utterly despise Gone with the Wind and Crash. Probably the two worst movies i’ve ever seen I don’t care if they’re a little well made or have decent casts they are so beyond offensive and cynical it’s nauseating to this day to even think about those films. Let alone the fact that they won best picture. Also can’t stand A Beautiful Mind, Slumdog Millionaire, Argo is fucking TERRIBLE and complete fiction despite selling itself as a true story, Green Book and Coda were so basic and surface level they honestly make total sense winning best picture despite being basically glorified disney channel original movies.
