Oscars 2024: Who Should Win Every Award (And Who Actually Will)

[@HoneyBee-vb7bb]

Cillian Murphy deserves his Oscar, by order of the Peaky Blinders

[@riddla11]

I agree. Paul killed the role as usual, but this shouldn't be a discussion. Cillian helmed the biggest movie of the year and did it spectacularly.

[@SceneWins]

Umm you mean the Peaky fookin’ Blinders!!!

[@CashelOConnolly]

@@SceneWinsfookin is more Mancunian than Brummie

[@jocelynsimpson]

You obviously know very little about Cillian Murphy’s work if you think he is a ‘veteran supporting actor’.

[@muhammadshehryar3344]

Look I disagree strongly with the giamatti opinion Murphy should win without a doubt

[@trinaq]

I'd honestly be happy if either Murphy or Giamatti won, but I ultimately think that it's Murphy's year, since he had the more memorable performance.

[@TiagoCavalcanti-ji6hu]

Giamatti more than nailed it; he made that happen. Feels like it was written for him.

[@KSchorrWriter]

I feel like Zone of Interest should win sound. The backdrop of the horror that you never see on screen is haunting and carries the point of the film.

[@robswystun2766]

Agreed. The fact that the main focus of the film is told entirely in background noise is phenomenal.

[@TiagoCavalcanti-ji6hu]

Obviously.

[@sounaksengupta347]

​@@robswystun2766 that doesn't necessarily imply that Oppenheimer's sound was bad or it would be an undeserving winner

[@ogur1990]

my thoughts exactly. I'm glad I watched this movie in the cinema because of the sound quality. Watching it from some streaming service will be an inferior watch unless with some good home stereo

[@TheBeShiny]

Good job

[@bryanmoody2251]

Cillian all day long

[@nicholaslindsey7087]

Why Shouldn’t Cillian win? He’s earned his time to shine. Is it because he’s not a typical Hollywood elitist? Or that he’s not American?

[@David-dc3nk]

Cillian Murphy will win!

[@walterude6323]

"I'm just Ken" is better than "What was I made for"??? Lmao. Even Ryan Gosling would disagree with this take.

[@KidFresh71]

Cillian Murphy carried the movie of the century. Giamatti's win would be a lifetime achievement award. The Holdovers was a cute little film, but Oppenheimer was a billion dollar juggernaut of historic import. Give Murphy's his due- he was a powerhouse and completely transformed into that character physically, mentally, verbally and emotionally.

[@sylviabergman509]

[@DrMetalpin]

Lily Gladstone was good but the length of the movie watered down all of the acting because of the pacing. Emma Stone deserves it. It was a way more demanding role.

[@trinaq]

I reckon that the Actress with Stone in her surname will nab the Best Actress Oscar!

[@evelynboyle5255]

After seeing both holdover and Oppenheimer I don't really understand why Giamatti is getting so many kudos. The movie was no average. I felt I had seen it all before. Giamatti was good, but by no means gripping. I have seen this kind of character many times before, played better. I was stunned when I heard he was nominated, let alone a favorite. He didn't get great reviews when the movie came out.

[@johnnydripp]

Cillian deserves to win.

[@DrMetalpin]

Love Paul Giamatti, but Murphy’s role was way more demanding and better overall.

[@lacygood5873]

Godzilla Minus One RULES!!! Sucks for everyone who didn't go see it bcuz God forbid they had to read a little!

[@jayfiggs4656]

The Holdovers is one of those movies we haven't seen in some time. I really appreciate it.

[@jennywhite5531]

Emma stone SHOULD win best actress. Lily Gladstone is definitely a supporting performance.

[@sundance0611]

Some odd things here - Lily Gladstone won the SAG award, which is usually the best indicator. So I reckon that prediction should be flipped. Emma Stone did something no one has ever seen before. If that doesn't win there is something wrong with people's judgement of acting. Gladstone is fine. She is the emotional core of that film but awards should be given to something exceptional which Stone gave us. And Past Lives? Is that the attempt to be cool? Probably my favourite film of the year but it's not an Oscar Best Picture winner. It's too slight. Best picture needs to have everything which Oppenheimer certainly does... I would like to see more wins for Poor Things. That was the innovative outlier that did something new.

[@Timberella3003]

Gotta say, I feel Society of the Snow should have been a Best Picture nominee. Talk about start-to-finish visceral storytelling! I can't say what should be bumped to make room for it but it definitely belongs up there.

[@tungdil_1458]

Usually I agree with most you say Ewan, but this seems more like a video for you to vent about how great you think Killers of the Flower Moon is.

[@ashi5305]

How ignorant and disrespectful Cillian should win this award he deserves it. Not becauae you dont know his body of work doesn't mean he doesnt deserve it.

[@whiskyandpoetry]

What makes you think Emma Stone's going to win? Lily Gladstone has won almost everything this year. And you know the Oscars are gonna do that First native American to win an Oscar thing. Hell, I wish you were right. I think Emma Stone was astounding. A one of a kind, truly unique performance.

[@evelynboyle5255]

Emma Stone has won several of this seasons awards. Gladstone one or two. Hopefully you'll get your wish and Stone will win win.

[@As-jj2rc]

Well, Emma won, so...

[@bluestocean3462]

As someone, among many others. Who have followed Murphy's work for decades. You would understand what incredible range, he have as an actor. Im convinced there's nothing he can not play. The arguments made for him not to win. Are utterly ridiculous and fall short.

[@jennywhite5531]

American fiction should win screenplay

[@willhouston588]

I want American Fiction to win something SO bad, but I'm not kidding myself. It's such a good movie, but it's up against some heavy hitters. Edit: It won one!!!

[@DustinGuidroz]

The writer was definitely a “Killers of the Flower Moon” fan.

[@jennywhite5531]

Mark ruffalo should win best supporting actor

[@kp2223]

I'm just gonna say anybody who feels that "I'm just Ken" shouldn't be performed or shouldn't be nominated due to its silliness should remember that ,once upon a time "blame Canada" was performed from south park at the oscars by Robin Williams.

[@nathanrosario9764]

No performance, male or female, came close to what Emma Stone has accomplished... She had the performance of the year, and one of the goats...

[@trayntp]

Most of your "shoulds" are ridiculous, lol.

[@Hipp0campus_1]

For "Best Sound" I would strongly argue for "Zone of interest" for the "should win". It's like two stories are told in this movie. On this side of the wall the story of a family, on the other side of the wall, mostly through sound the story of human suffering.

[@chaberio1335]

Deniro wasn't transformative in the slightest and shouldn't even be nominated. This is RDJs race for best supporting all the way. Completely disagree. Deniros accent and lack of movement were mediocre at best in comparison to the other nominees.

[@evelynboyle5255]

I agree re Robert Downey Junior. I did not realize it was him at first. They're is really no other supporting actor that comes close. He will win.

[@sundance0611]

Sorry, his 'lack of movement'? What on earth does that mean? And his accent? What are even picking up on? Neither of these things detracted or were an issue 'in the slightest'. And if you have ever seen a film with De Niro in it you would know that the character he portrays in this film is very different to his usual schtick. Hence why people are calling it transformative.

ALL OF US STRANGERS was my favourite movie of the year, beautiful, authentic performances by all the actors, it touched my deeply

[@kelleyceccato7025]

"Louder does not mean better." Agreed, absolutely. Quiet performances -- which I believe are more challenging for an actor than over-the-top ones -- rarely get the love they deserve. But even though I loved Gladstone's performance, I keep stumbling over the fact that her role just wasn't as big as it should have been. The menfolk controlling the narrative -- screenwriters, director -- didn't let her take center stage as she deserved, so that the movie seems less about her than about unnominated Leonardo di Caprio. Mollie should have been the movie's protagonist. She wasn't. The best LEADING performance by an actress I saw this year is another quiet performance, but was outrageously denied a nomination: Greta Lee in "Past Lives."

[@benmcfee]

How did _Oppenheimer_ get left out of the Best Visual Effects category? Simple: Aside from some compositing, there are no visual effects anywhere in the movie, since all the "effects" were shot in-camera. It's like asking why _Toy Story_ was left out of the Best Makeup category. Because it didn't apply.

[@DrMetalpin]

Christopher Nolan deserves the award. Love Scorsese but he missed the mark by not editing that movie down by 45 minutes to an hour. Great movie but the length watered down all the performances and story. At 3.5 hours it could’ve been better served as a 4-part miniseries.

Besides Past Lives for Picture (I haven't seen it), I agree with the majority of these and I'm happy to see some love for Killers of The Flower Moon. I found Poor Things and Killers far superior to Oppenheimer. Robbie Robertson should win for Best Score 100%. It's used more effectively than Oppenheimer (it doesn't drown out the dialogue). The individual tracks themselves are very memorable (especially Osage Oil Boom).

RDJ really was great in Oppenheimer, but De Niro truly blew me away in Killers of the Flower Moon. Especially when you consider his long career and all his diverse roles, it’s amazing that he was still able to play a role that felt so fresh and different from the rest of his work. And not just that, also expertly performed. Within that one film there are moments where he seems genuinely kind, helpful and empathetic. But then also malicious, selfish and downright evil. And the subtleties in his performance are masterful. The way he communicated so much with just certain facial expressions had me floored. I do believe De Niro is one of, if not the greatest actor of all time and I think this performance ranks very highly on that list. And that in and of itself is an astonishing achievement, especially when considering his age and already well-established career.

[@EDITSOUND1]

As someone who has a lot of experience working in sound for over 30 years, I can say conclusively that your statement that Oppenheimer should win sound shows a massive ignorance on your part. Zone of Interest is a arguably the most significant and perfectly done piece of sound work since Saving Private Ryan. And to compare that level of work to a reasonably good job which is Oppenheimer means that you should probably stick to areas you know enough about to a a educated opinion.

[@sundance0611]

Love it when people claim to work in a field to strengthen their opinion. Oppenheimer has amazing sound design - as does Zone of Interest. Two very different projects where the winner is much of a muchness. Zone of Interest is a more interesting and unusual approach to sound design which I hope wins as originality is always more exciting. But to say Oppenheimer is 'reasonably good'? Come on.

Maestro can't win ant major award because it's bordering on being a hagiography. It presents a distorted version of Bernstein, whose reputation is based on a false narrative from the sacred cow coverage in the press. I posted a video on my KZbin channel titled THE BERNSTEIN EFFECT that explains the collateral damage he caused to the arts. He used the Young Peoples Concerts as a platform to ruin the way symphonies and concertos are performed. His teachings eliminated the development of processing variables in bigger and bigger batches, which destroyed the intellectual development of conductors, pianists and composers. This ruined classical music as an art form and a business. Most of the classical recordings are now vanity records. I explain who's making the vanity records and who's paying for it. Maestro will only win for MakeUp. That's it.
