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.

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

1/3 so far tonight

Here are my predications and pick for the Oscars, borrowing @vinipereira formatting as usual If I haven't seen a film yet, it is left unranked.

I live somewhat close to Vegas, and I like a big artistic swing, so it worked for me. "Beautiful That Way" should be one of the front runners in original song, but it didn't even make the shortlist

We have a very similar acting shortlist/honors

I still haven't seen everything I wanted to, but here's my personal top 10 heading into Oscars Sunday... 1. The Remarkable Life of Ibelin 2. Nickel Boys 3. The Seed of the Sacred Fig 4. The Brutalist 5. The Substance 6. Green Border 7. The Wild Robot 8. How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies 9. Anora 10. The Outrun Honorable mentions: The Last Showgirl, Challengers, Dìdi, Memoir of a Snail, Black Dog, We Grown Now, The Girl With The Needle and No Other Land

Thrilling sprint finish to start the Volta Algarve today. Unfortunately, it took place on the wrong side of the finish chute. https://youtu.be/Xgj5YJxwb0M?si=lWEr-uxDDh73SPSb Edit: Stage was cancelled.

Group B of the boys ice hockey tournament was rather interesting, with winning one game each.

Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show was the most-watched in history: https://www.si.com/nfl/kendrick-lamar-performance-super-bowl-lix-most-watched-halftime-show

Freestyle skiing big air finals were moved up a day. They're now schedule for this morning.

I really liked what the slopestyle course offered at these Games. It was a little unorthodox with one rails section, followed by two kickers, then a modified pipe feature and finally two more rails, but it produced some fun runs

I posted about it in the multi-sports games thread (along with the Asian Winter Games and Invictus Games), but live-streaming is available on EOCTV: https://eoctv.org/live/ I assume replays will be available at some point, as they were for previous editions, but there aren't any (other than the flame lighting and opening ceremony) posted at the moment: https://eoctv.org/channel/eyof/bakuriani-2025/

Kendrick Lamar with an all-timer of a halftime show

Yep, website works a lot better once I connected to a VPN

Yep, that's the page I meant. It kind of works for speed skating, but if I select a different sport, the options don't change from speed skating. Also, The URLs beginning with mis. and einfo. won't even load for me now.

Results system is still not fully functioning for me. Is it better for anyone else? It's almost impossible to find/load a PDF.

@intoronto does the results system work for you?

Beautiful sunny day at the cross country skiing venue

There was an issue with his license. He’s been allowed to compete, but will not receive a medal and FIS points. More here: https://oca.asia/news/5930-oca-eb-meets-in-harbin-on-eve-of-awg-opening-ceremony.html

It looks like ski mountaineering won’t be broadcast

Pretty feisty first period in the v. match. Referee and linesmen staying busy.

The results system has been buggy/down for a few hours now

scores first in their match against with a place in the quarterfinals on the line.
