Updated with the results, only got 13/23 which is indeed my worst result ever. At least correctly predicted Picture, Director and all 4 acting categories 

 

Liked Anora but I think it was kinda overrated at this award season. It could be much worse though (Emilia Pérez).

[NearPup 3,198]

I could have gone with one or two less Oscars for Anora, but in a season without a clear front runner I'm more than okay with it winning best picture.

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.

Expand  

I've read that he might be a recordist for Césars, with 13 wins and 26 noms. We could say it's the contemporary "quality French cinema" (to borrow a Truffaut expression regarding the 1950s national cinema)

For me, I'm Still Here, Anora and Conclave were the top3 from the 10 BP, but neither made my yearly top20 (posted today on a rush on instagram without their titles, tomorrow I can post here).
