I actually managed to see five (CODA, Dune, King Richard, Don’t Look Up, and Power of the Dog) of the films nominated for Best Picture this year. I was hoping to bump that up to eight over the weekend, but I just wasn’t feeling a lot of the films this year. I definitely want to watch Drive My Car and Belfast at some point though. I honestly wouldn’t describe any of the nominees I’ve seen as groundbreaking, phenomenal cinema. That said, I thought CODA, King Richard, and Dune were solid, easily enjoyable films (definitely worth a watch if you get the chance). My ranking for the five films I did see would be: 1. CODA 2. Dune 3. King Richard 4. Power of the Dog 5. Don’t Look Up I wasn’t able to finish Power of the Dog, and Don’t Look Up was to “on the nose” for me. I think the acting and camera work in Power of the Dog was superb. It just definitely wasn’t for me. The only other film mentioned on here that I saw was The Hand of God. Like @vinipereira I would have nominated it as well. I was quite shocked it wasn’t nominated. Edit: Oh, I should also add that I was furious The Summit of Gods was not nominated for best animated film. Beautiful storytelling and animation.

Here’s a playlist of songs for tonight:

First Qualifiers show for the American Song Contest is less than 24 hours away. The 11 songs for tomorrow’s show were just released a few hours ago. It will be interesting to see how the ASC is received.

I’ve copied/pasted some of the main relay rules above. Here’s a link to the rules and regulations as well: https://www.paralympic.org/sites/default/files/2021-10/2021_09_30 WPNS_Rules and Regulations_2021-22_0.pdf

Masters after the finish (very audibly this time), “I want to race against honest people!” She yelled, “fuck!” immediately after crossing the line and looking at the timing board. She went over to (I believe) Aaron Pike, who tired to calm her down/stop her from voicing her frustration, but she still shouted that comment right into the camera.

Yes, there are livestreams on YouTube via the IPC. However, Arena Sport bought the television rights for Montenegro according to the IPC.

PLANTEY!!! No matter what, this will be Argentina’s best result at the Winter Paralympics to date. Edit: He finished one spot off the podium, but that is now the best result for any athlete from South America at the Winter Paralympics. @LDOG @konig

Two races down, two comebacks completed. Course conditions aren’t great, but the racing has been pretty solid today. Santeri Kiiveri just won Finland’s first gold medal in alpine skiing at the Winter Paralympics as well. @Finnator123

For what it’s worth, I thought she said, “not when they’re misclassified and cheated.”
