My ranking of best picture nominees:

 

1. I’m Still Here
2. Dune Part 2
3. Anora
4. Wicked
5. The Substance
6. The Brutalist
7. Conclave
8. A Complete Unknown
9. Nickel Boys
10. Emilia Pérez

 

Of those I loved 1 through 5, I liked 6 through 8, I respected (but didn't like) 9 and I have nothing good to say about 10.

Worth mentioning that Flow is the first ever Oscar win for a Latvian film!

I was already expecting Anora to win best picture going in, but at this point giving the editing win it's hard to see how anyone else wins.

Jacques Audiard winning an Oscar for Emilia Pérez (even though it's "just" in best song) is very hard to stomach. He did not deserve to be rewarded for a movie that was offensive and, even worse than that, boring.

Yeah, I’m feeling the same, but it’s been an odd year, so it’s not certain until it’s announced.

I didn’t predict any of the short category winners right, but I’m not mad about it. The winners were more in line with my personal taste than what was predicted.

I am so, so relieved that I'm Still Here, one of the best film of the year, has beaten Emilia Pérez, a movie that has already won two Oscars more than it desereved.

Our first ever Oscar!

Pretty sure I just heard the whole of  scream with joy

People at the carnaval parades and parties stopped to watch the award 

 

I'm doing terrible at the predictions but I don't care. The trio of winners Flow + I'm Still Here + No Other Land is sooo good.
