If I Chose the Oscar Winners 2024!

[@SoYouWantToBeAnImagineer]

Anatomy of a Fall had the single best "cut" of any movie this year. The moment where we abruptly cut from the footage of the argument to the audio being played in the courtroom as soon as the fight escalated to violence literally took my breath away. It was like a really well executed and built-up jump scare in the form of an edit. Not the first category you'd think of for the movie, but that particular scene was THE moment of the movie for me so I'm very stoked for the editing nomination.

[@laurajones1773]

I hope it beats Oppenheimer at the Oscars for film editing. I think Anatomy of a Fall has the best editing from last year. I don’t think Oppenheimer should have won especially considering I think that movie should be 30 minutes shorter.

Yes!!! From your mouth to God’s ear, Cillian Murphy for the Oscar. We have watched the film 6 times since July and every single time we are (wait for it) blown away. The performance is nuanced, he draws you in with that incredible eye-acting, and we love to watch how he expresses all the conflict, arrogance, naïveté of the man with just his facial expressions.

I’d love to see Paul Giamatti win an Oscar one day for a role that feels completely new. The Holdovers just felt totally in his wheelhouse of his usual bag of tricks. It didn’t feel challenging or interesting or different. He’s great in it like he is in everything but I wasn’t blown away. I found Dominic Sessa to be the showstopper & Da’Vine Joy Randolph to have the incredible storyline. I think Cillian Murphy is unmatched this awards season. No contest! How he hasn’t been sweeping is baffling to me. The level of commitment he gave to Oppenheimer was extraordinary. He carried the film, he embodied the person he was playing & he gave the performance of the decade while doing so. His acting was top tier. Never seen anything like it. Beyond impressed & haven’t been able to shake it. Give him the Oscar!!!

I don't think the Academy has an issue awarding actresses twice in a few years. Jodie Foster did it easily. Katherine Hepburn won back to back Oscars. Meryl Streep won twice in only 4 years. I think Emma Stone is joining them.

[@johnnzboy]

I'm so torn in regard to Best Actress - I really liked the Gladstone performance and think it would be the worthier win (yeah PC choice whatever but the Oscars has always been as much a popularity/vibes contest as a pure 'best' assessment) but there's no denying that Stone's performance is just stratospheric and she totally carries the film, being the centre of attention for 90% of the runtime, unlike Gladstone's lesser onscreen time. If only Gladstone had been nominated in Best Supporting Actress, that's a more suitable category for her role and she'd be a shoo-in (sorry, Da'Vine). I do agree that Stone's recent win might handicap her but on a pure comparison of which role is more demanding/integral to the film/distinctive then Stone should have it in the bag - honestly, I didn't think that she deserved it for the overrated La La Land, I would've preferred Negga or Huppert, and if Stone hadn't won it then, no Academy voter in good conscience could deny her their vote this time.

[@jaylouis8227]

With regard to the acting categories, so far, best supporting actress is the only one I've seen each performance. I agree that this race is between Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Emily Blunt, but I also really enjoyed the heart of Jodie Foster's performance. I would probably vote for Da'Vine Joy Randolph. I've seen most of the supporting actor performances, and though I agree Robert Downey, Jr will win, my favorite performance was Ryan Gosling in Barbie. I also really loved Annette Benning in Nyad, and I'd like to see her win, but to be fair, hers is the only lead actress performance I've seen so far. I loved Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer and Paul Giamatti in The Holdovers. I'd love to see them tie, but since a tie in the acting categories has only happened twice (I think), Cillian Murphy will probably edge out Paul Giamatti.

Love the video, and enjoy hearing your takes! Couldn't disagree more with your cinematography pick, though. I think I'd rank Oppenheimer in last among the five, it's shot in the same way as many of Nolan's films, standard medium close-ups throughout and very few shots that particularly impressed me. I actually prefer Maestro's cinematography (that oner during the conducting scene, or that first black and white shot of Bernstein's silhouette before tracking him into the concert hall are two stunning shots in that film). I think I'd personally go with Poor Things, its approach to filming Emma Baxter, with its usage of fish-eye lenses for example, I thought displayed some of the more innovative cinematography choices of the year.

Just like any category, score shouldn’t be chosen based on whether you like to listen to it outside the film. It should be about the most effective score. To me, it’s no contest. Poor things, while not beautiful, is so perfect for augmenting every single scene in the film.

[@musictrippp565]

I think that Paul Giamatti really really is going to win. I get the critic that he is doing the "same character" in Every movie. But first of all we can say the same thing of Katherine hupburn and we love her for that. Second i think that without paul, the Holdovers dosnt work. He is the glue of that movie. Everybody and Everything works un the movie because of Him. ITs a masterclass in acting what he does

[@lehcaraz1]

Do you really think Cillian doesnt have to be great for a three hour movie to not fall flat on its face? Talk about glue. Cillian is in 95 percent of every scene. Holdovers is a ensemble piece with Paul playing Paul. Cillian is steering the entire movie. Talk to actors and find out what they think a masterclass in acting is. Cillian is lauded for being a masterclass thespian. He is at home on the stage, or film, or streaming as in Peaky Blinders. Much more diverse actor than Paul.

When in doubt, I’ll go with The Boston Pops Conductor Emeritus JW but I just love Oppenheimer, Oppenheimer for Life 🙌❤️

[@shadykatie100]

I personally couldn't stand "Poor Things", but I just might be the only one who didn't care for it. It is going to win a lot of awards.

[@vincevinnyp9224]

I find myself agreeing with most of your choices. I would (Boringly perhaps) give Oppenheimer best picture and RDJ best supporting though. I think it's wrong that the Holdovers wasn't in production design, but would agree with Poor Things to win. I am a long way from Saltburn for screenplay though it's a great cast with good performances in a poorly written story.

[@Rashmibhattachan]

Past lives was good but a bit too slow paced. editing could've been better. greta lee did a good job but the actor did a better job.

[@kirilivanov8226]

I dont get what people see in past lives....i have no clue

[@tofansultani8472]

Mi pick: Picture : Oppenheimer Director : Oppenheimer Actor : Oppenheimer Actress : poor things/ maestro loved both Supporting actor : Oppenheimer Supporting actress : Oppenheimer Original screenplay : holdovers Adapted screenplay : Oppenheimer Animated picture : Spiderverse Best score : Oppenheimer Best original song : Barbie im just ken Best sound : Oppenheimer Best production design : poor things Cinematography : Oppenheimer Makeup and hairstyles : poor things Costume design : Barbie Editing : Oppenheimer Visual effects : Napoleon

[@mgariepy42]

My picks too. Oppenheimer is just a behemoth of great skill in every category.

[@tbam73]

So Emily Blunt for that 1 scene? We love Emily Blunt, but this absolute should NOT be her year. We dont need another JLC win two years in a row

[@mgariepy42]

My score card too. But you know the perverse Academy will not give Oppie the sweep it deserves. I think the backlash from its choices last year weighs heavily on its collective mind.

[@dashx1103]

Adapted screenplay: American Fiction.

[@jacquesboyadjian9449]

Can u make an oscars nominations + winners if they were both decided by u? Not what u predict the academy will nominate uk

[@marcelle8828]

The fact that McNamara stripped the novel from its framing devices, that allowed the reader to always be questioning what they're reading and from whose perspective, speaks volumes regarding his approach to the film + the male gaze and I personally would hate to see a win for him. I'm excited that Lanthimos is reteaming with Filippou for Kinds of Kindness and I hope McNamara quietly goes back to his disney films.

[@dylanluffy334]

you forgot Killers Of The Flower Moon and Martin Scorsese for you we should not reward this film I have the impression that people no longer want to see arthouse films it's selfish

[@Rashmibhattachan]

Sandra hueller, Paul giamatti, davine joy randolph Anatomy of a fall justine triet The holdovers blew me away!!!!

[@mgariepy42]

People picking Holdovers and Barbie for Best Picture …😮 😳

[@TKTalksBooks]

Best Pic : Anatomy Best Director: poor Things Best Actor: Cillian Best Actress: Sandra Huller Best Supporting Actress: Da’Vine Joy Best supporting Actor: Ryan G Best Original screenplay: Anatomy Best Adapted Screenplay: American Fiction Best Cinematography: Oppenheimer :

[@SamBryans128]

Best picture is a preferential ballot. What would your ranking be?

[@DiviAugusti]

It’s weird how academy awards aren’t 100% merit based. They’re considering if you’re due for one or you already had your turn. There are also things like diversity considerations. A video breaking down all factors would be interesting.

[@isaacmartinez6904]

Best Actor isn’t difficult. It’s either Paul or Cillian.

[@thunderb4stard80]

The fact you didn't say one single name means it's not that easy

[@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719]

Which is why it's difficult 😂

[@mgariepy42]

Best performance is soooo Cillian Murphy. Giamatti will get an Oscar when he’s in a movie like Sideways.

[@BL-mf3jp]

*Willem DeFoe

[@pepperminttree]

with supporting actor, for me it'd be deniro and gosling as my top choices

[@ooofthedegenerate]

My personal ballot would be Picture-poor things Director- glazer or lanthimos Original screenplay- anatomy of a fall Adapted- poor things Lead actor- cillian murphy Lead actress- Emma stone Supporting actor- Rob DeNiro Supporting actress- Davine joy randolf And basically all the techs go to for me poor things or in case of sound zone of interest

[@Argeaux2]

Which original work was the Barbie screenplay adapted from? Everyone just think about that, for a moment. There is no clearer example of removing a chance for a female director to be recognised in another category.

[@samuelbarber6177]

It was based on characters from Mattel. Whether they were toys or not doesn’t matter, because they still count as characters, the same sequels are always adapted screenplays despite being original stories. And I’m really not sure what point you’re trying to make here given how multiple women are included in the Best Original Screenplay nominations.

[@frances1227]

I’ve been thinking that too, i thought best adapted had to come from a book, film, comic, radio show etc. To me it seems like a completely original screenplay as the story is new

[@izzyglove1800]

Jodie foster is fantastic in everything she is in ❤

[@thecinematicmind]

Even Nell, which everything around her is embarrassing.

[@mjlove07101996]

Past lives, like Tár last year, will be consired an all-timer in the years to come.

[@donivento]

hoping for Sandra Huller to win the Oscar, she is phenomenal in Anatomy of fall...and I've seen poor things & killers of the flower moon too...and for me Sandra has more depth in her performance compare to the other two lead actress Emma & Lily.

[@cynthiacrumlish4683]

Sandra Hüller is a gift to acting. The Real deal.

[@Dim4323]

Simple, Opperhimer for best pictue.

[@ink-_-]

Its the boy and the heron, and that is not even close.

[@225millionmilesaway]

For best picture you should order the films, that’s what matters due to the preferential balloting..

[@rebeccag8589]

My ballot (not who I think will win, just who I'd like to win): International: The Zone of Interest Animated: Spiderman Costume Design: Barbie Cinematography: Oppenheimer Film Editing: Poor Things Makeup: Society of the Snow (what they do with the survivors over time is incredible and really underrated). Original Score: Oppenheimer Original Song: I'm Just Ken (I'm a musical theater nerd, can't help myself with this one) Production Design: Poor Things Sound: The Zone of Interest Adapted Screenplay: Poor Things (and totally agree with about All of Us Strangers- that was my favorite film of the year and what a great screenplay) Original Screenplay: Anatomy of a Fall Supporting Actor: Ryan Gosling Supporting Actress: Da'vine Joy Randolph Best Actor: Cillian Murphy Best Actress: Emma Stone (Sandra Huller is also my very close second, and I would have loved to see Greta Lee nominated) Best Director: Lanthimos or Nolan Best Picture: Past Lives (my second favorite film of the year after All of Us Strangers)
