I agree with these:

Best Picture: 1917
Director: Sam Mendes, “1917”
Lead Actor: Joaquin Phoenix "Joker"
Lead Actress: Renee Zellweger, “Judy”
Supporting Actor: Brad Pitt, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”
Supporting Actress: Laura Dern, “Marriage Story”
Animated Feature: Toy Story 4
Best International Feature Film: Parasite
Original Screenplay: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Adapted Screenplay: Little Women
Cinematography: 1917

Although I hope Pesci beats out Pitt and I'd like to see Parasite win for original Screenplay over "Hollywood". I'm really hoping Parasite picks up the Oscar for editing.

I think Parasite has a decent shot at original screenplay and/or editing. I don't think Pesci has any chance whatsoever at beating Pitt. Pitt has won all the major supporting actor awards possible this season.

[–] samoanjoes (50752) 4 years ago

I agree. Pitt has been winning everything and he'll probably win it, but I liked Pesci better.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

I really liked both Pesci and Pitt.

Pesci vs Pitt is a big convo...great category this year, not a slouch in the bunch

[–] ShogunofYonkers (71429) 4 years ago

Margot Robbie...looking nice!
She deserves an award

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

I agree she looks gorgeous.

[–] samoanjoes (50752) 4 years ago

She won "best performance by feet" for her daring yet memorable movie theatre scene in "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood." Tarantino gladly accepted.

DiCaprio always comes off likable
The dude seems like a gent👍

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

I agree.

[–] Mrmojo4700 (20411) 4 years ago

Yes he does. 👍

I hate the fact that there is no host.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

Yeah, I like having a host.

I can't say that I'm really loving anyone's outfits this year. I thought Kaitlyn Dever, Laura Dern, and Margot Robbie looked okay, but I think I've seen them in prettier dresses. Maybe I just don't understand fashion. Rooney Mara always looks so grumpy as well.

How's the wokeness been so far?

[–] ShogunofYonkers (71429) 4 years ago

It's not been terribly obnoxious spurtle, it's been a fun little time
Some big stars and they all seem sweet

Some big dude in a dress keeps popping up and I said WTF? and my wife told me to shut up, 'it's how things are now...'

She generally knows better than me so whatever, I'm shutting up

Good show, tune in spurtle👍

[–] spurtle467 (1498) 4 years ago

Ok, cool. I'm watching right now and seems ok but not sure for how long it'll hold my attention.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

I enjoyed the opening song and dance number.

[–] sslssg (27403) 4 years ago

Me too.

[–] sslssg (27403) 4 years ago

That's a lot of introduction for the nominees
