Saw Voight interviewed recently. He was hoping for the current wave against wokeness to have some impact in the film industry. That there were good scripts out there that have been turned down because of political climate.
He also bemoaned the cost of shooting in Hollywood. Between regulations and taxes, it's cheaper to shoot on location, even for interior shots.

Sorry Jon, identity politics is more important than ever.

Not sure how Wicked can be nominated for Best Original Score considering Hans Zimmer was shut out for his Dune 2 score since it was "too similar" to his Dune 1 score, or something like that. Then again, Interstellar wasn't nominated for Original Score even though it's (IMO) one of the top 5 of all time.

I read that The Brutalist is the favorite for Best Picture, Actor, and Director, but that could change? Culkin for Best Supporting Actor. I'm sure Wicked will win lots of the gay broadway categories like music and wardrobe.

Would be great for Ralph Fiennes to win best actor though. Very long overdue.
I read that Demi Moore might win Best Actress, too.
(Obviously the predictions are early before all the hollywood lobbying)

From what I've read, "The Substance" is
kind ofa weird movie. -

The film follows a Mexican cartel leader (Karla Sofía Gascón) who enlists a lawyer (Zoe Saldaña) to help her disappear by transitioning into a woman.

It ran away with the Golden Globes and is the front runner for the Oscars. Seriously.

And Karla Sofia Gascon is a dude that transitioned in his 40s…

Why do we care so much about these awards? The Oscars is just a huge marketing campaign which ends with a bunch of rich people giving a bunch of statues to a bunch of rich people who spend the evening telling each other how fucking special they are. It doesn't mean anything.

We can all speak for ourselves, but I don't care a bit, not even as a curiosity. The Oscars peaked for me when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. Wake me up the next time an Oscars broadcast leads to a live hour standup set from an all-time great comedian. Everything else is a letdown.

Honestly this is blowing my mind. That video is worse than stuff middle schoolers try to sing, choreograph, and videotape. W...T...FFFFFFFFFFFF
For me, I used to love the Oscars. I guess because as a dumb kid in high school I wanted to direct films when I got older. Even made some short films for competitions, but I learned during the process I (selfishly) just enjoy watching films and not knowing how they are made. Anyway...certainly a few years ago the Oscars became a tired platform of rich celebrities giving their political opinions and it turned me off. I used to watch it each year but not anymore... although it does give me a somewhat decent list of movies to add to my Netflix queue.

OK, sure, that is obvious.
But the identities are simply wonderful, very powerful.

By the way, @89th @George-K “Karla” is also up for Best Actress.
Looks like I'm going to have to start drinking early this afternoon.
