    Not sure if I'm wording this exactly how I mean it, so just to be clear: what I mean is that I hope one day (which sadly doesn't seem to be close) being gay, bi or anything is considered just as normal by society as being straight, and it's not a matter of 'if you don't explicitly come out, you must be straight' anymore.

    I see some progress in the newer generations. Some younger athletes who are gay are just living their lives freely and I feel there isn't so much of a pressure to came out anymore. But of course each case is different and for most of them the possibility of living their truth comes only after they retire from the sport.

    What is so sad is how few Open men there are. Still more acceptance for gay women in sports than men.

    Yeah. For Brazil I can only think of Arthur Nory (Gymnastics) and Douglas Souza (Volleyball) when considering active athletes who participated in the Olympics (both Rio 2016 medalists). And I don't think they will be in Paris (Nory has a slim chance of being selected, but Douglas doesn't want to play for the NT anymore). Maique (Volleyball) might join them but probably won't be on the team.

     

    There's also a few that are pretty much "out" on social media but have never officially spoken about it.

    Anderson Melo, a Beach Volleyball player who recieved a lot of homophobic chants and hate from the crowds (and possibly from the rival pair, could not really understand 100% from the video). The referee was totally inept and let this happened.

     

    In Brazil, homophobia is a crime, so Anderson started a Police Report on that. 

    What a sad way to start this thread. I don't want to state the obvious, but it's truly unfortunate that things like this still happen. That crowd was despicable and the other team should take some accountability.

    There really aren’t any winners I totally disagree with outside of War is Over! Inspired by the Music of John and Yoko in animated short.

    Yeah, it was nice that except for this one they voted for watchable shorts in the other categories.

     

    Although it was totally expected, I despise the screenplay win for 'American Fiction'. For me it was the worst of the category.

    Oppenheimer takes the big prize. It was expected, and a good choice in my opinion.

    Yeah, since they don't have the guts to award something like 'Anatomy of a Fall' or 'Past Lives', it was a good choice.

     

    Something noticeable is that they awarded the same winners of BAFTA in ALL categories except Visual Effects ('Godzilla' wasn't nominated there). Predicted 17/23 but I wish I had paide more attention to them.

    The fact that the Cheetos Song, nothing more than a cheap jingle IMO, got a nod indicates that the Academy prefers to look inclusive rather than do a thorough job with nominations.

    As @Olympian1010 reminded us, they'll nominate any song Diane Warren writes. In the past decade she has been nominated multiple times for abhorrent work.

    My predictions are holding strong so far…only one miss in makeup :yes

    Yeah, they really love "Poor Things", thought "Barbie" was stronger but apparently it will only win Best Song. Strangely enough they're leaving all the Oppenheimer awards for later.

    Out of curiousity I thought I'd check if there's nice betting options there, but other than Best Production Design, all of the 'Will win' options are the betting favourites as well, too bad :p 

    Honestly you should go with @Olympian1010 predictions hehe. He has some picks that are being considered "spoilers" by the experts, such as "The Zone of Interest" in Sound and "Red, White and Blue" in Live Actin Short. Also the combo of "Poor Things" for Costume Design/Production Design is safer now than my picks for "Barbie".

    At the moment i think Brazil gonna win onle one or two Gold medals, our chance. We have a lot of good shots for medals, but no one of them (maybe surdina?) looks favourite for a Gold medal.

    I agree but I hope for at least 4 gold medals, which would be better than the 3 of 2008/2012. No way we can repeat the 7 golds of 2016/2020.

     

    Don't know what names/teams Gracenote is predicting for gold but maybe they were considering another one in Football which won't happen since the team didn't even qualify. Rebeca will only win a gold if Biles somehow fails in Vault. Isaquias, Ana Marcela, Martine/Kahena are not as regular as before and probably will contend for bronze. I guess Beach Volleyball/Surfing/Skateboarding are our best chances but nothing too sure. Maybe another surprising gold in Boxing or even Judo?

    If I was a Oscar voter, this would be my top 10 (alphabetic order):

     

    Anatomy of a Fall

    The Killer
    May December

    Monster

    Of an Age

    Oppenheimer

    Past Lives

    Perfect Days

    Robot Dreams

    Society of the Snow

     

    Special Citation (Documentary):
    The Eternal Memory

     

    Still have a lot to watch, especially international movies. Now that Oscar season is over, I'll try to catch up. Some of the films in my watchlist include: The Boy and the Heron, Close Your Eyes, The Delinquents, The Goldman Case, Green Border, La Chimera, Menus Plaisirs - Les Troisgros, The Missing, Origin, The Taste of Things, Tótem.

    Great Performances:

    Ben Whishaw, Passages
    Catalina Saavedra, Rotting in the Sun
    Charles Melton, May December
    Greta Lee, Past Lives
    Koji Yakusho, Perfect Days
    Lily Gladstone, Killers of the Flower Moon
    Natalie Portman, May December
    Paul Giamatti, The Holdovers
    Paul Mescal, All of Us Strangers
    Rachel McAdams, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.
    Sandra Hüller, Anatomy of a Fall
    Seydou Sarr, Io Capitano
    Teo Yoo, Past Lives
    Teyana Taylor, A Thousand and One

  11. Here with my annual Oscar predictions post. After some good results, last year I only correctly predicted 17/23 winners, which was my worst result in a long time. This year I'm also not sure about some categories, although 'Oppenheimer' is guaranteed to win Best Picture and at least 7 (8?) Oscars in total. I hope we have some surprises, but I think this will be another boring ceremony. I watched all the nominated films except for 'The Boy and the Heron' and 'Godzilla Minus One', which are not yet available on streaming/VOD.

     

    ["will win" is my prediction / "could win" is my alternate prediction / "should win" is my personal ranking from what I've watched / "shoud have been nominated" is a way to remember other notable work].
