Dann, I really wanted Poor Things to win score. I’ve been listening to it pretty regularly for the last  two months. 
 

Oppenheimer did have a good score too though.

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.

Oppenheimer is one of those films where I can’t really find a fault with it (at least any substantial one). It’s just a well-made film through and through, in my opinion. 
 

I didn’t captivate me as much or touch my soul to the same degree as Past Lives, but I can respect it‘s win.

 

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.

It definitely wasn't my favorite, but there wasn't really a standout in the category either, in my opinion. The Zone of Interest would probably be my personal pick.

I believe the Academy has finally thrown in the towel and started handing out awards to the commerically successful films the last few years? Times do change, I still remember some of the old days when extremely random movies floated around the palmares because "critics loved them" :lol:

 

This of course means some of these awards are extremely predictable but we're talking about an industry where everyone has a giant ego one way or another. If Tom Cruise was born 25 years later maybe even he would have won it! :p

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
