Oh how I hate when people say that animated movies are meant for kids only and that as soon as you reach a certain age you can't watch them anymore... there's no rule saying that, you can watch whatev

That's a good thing, current events shouldn't lead to episodes being removed. Finally a positive note about Community

A few hours to the Oscars, I leave my predictions here. This was mostly a disappointing year for cinema in my opinion, and the first time in some years I didn't watch more than 95% of the nominees (mainly because I didn't had the time). Anyway, here's my picks, and I hope to do better than 17/24 of last year - I did this in a hurry so don't mind possible mistakes. ["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" it's a way to remember other notable movies].

Edited with correct predictions. Managed to get the same score of last year (17/24), missing 7 categories. I picked the correct winner as the "alternate" prediction in 6 of those. The only one who was really surprising for me was Heaven is a Traffic Jam on the 405 winning Documentary Short (but it's a great little film and the best of this category, so I'm glad it won). Three Billboards underperforming and Blade Runner 2049 overperforming killed my predictions. Boring ceremony, almost no surprises, and I would prefer Get Out winning Best Picture - but at least wasn't Three Billboards.

Rather interesting choice and it would be huge for Danish movies to have an Oscar winner in one of the "production" categories. Would be the first since 1931.

      Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.

      Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.

      Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig

      2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.

      Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.

      Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
