JudyJudyJudy Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Its the first time I can recall its on " council " telly. Never seen it live so ill be watching it tonight. Clearly not as star laden as my favourite golden age of the 1930s 40s 50s etc but still a good watch. Heres my predictions for the main awards . Best film : Oppenheimer Best Director : Christophere Nolan ( but maybe Johnathan Glazer for " The Zone of Interest" as its really picking up momentum) Best Actor ; Cillian Murphy ( lots of affection for Paul Giamatti so this might be an upset ) Best supporting actor : Robert Downey jnr ( a shoo in ) Best Actress : Lily Gladstone for " Killers of the flower moon " ( possible upset is the wonky Emma Stone in " Poor things) Best supporting actress : Da vine Jo Randolph ( a shoo in) No really worth putting a bet on this as they are mostly favourites.

I'm going to see Oppenheimer for the second time next Tuesday night. Mme U hasn't seen it, and it's being shown as a once-off in town, so it's her chance to catch it on the big screen rather than on TV. Murphy was excellent, but I really liked Giamatti's performance. And I can't see the supporting acting awards going anywhere other than your predictions. They're the hottest of hot favourites. Apparently, The Holdovers is being accused of plagiarism by some Scottish fella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s paid his dues . Although happy for Cillian to win as him and the film are truely outstanding . Wish I saw it on the big screen . I’m going to see “ Dune 2” on the big screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 The Zone of Interest probably won’t win but should in my opinion. A very powerful piece of work. Go and see it if you can. Stayed with me for a while afterwards. Clever direction. Asks you, the viewer/listener to see the horrors in your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
