Okay, I was nine for twelve on my predictions (including the Perez joke). And two of the ones I missed were my Oughta Wins. So there.

Conan O’Brien on “Anora” having a good night: “2 wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.” #Oscars #Oscars2025

Conan should host every year. Or alternate him with Jon Stewart.

Ariana's dress is designed to keep people away. Like prom dresses in the fifties.

At the #Oscars screening, Fox theatre. There are a few people in costume. Maybe I should've come as Anora.

Speaking of Oscars... here's my wildly unpopular historical Oscars opinion. Are you sitting down? Got a drink? Shakespeare in Love deserved Best Picture more than Saving Private Ryan did. Not because SiL is especially great (though I remember liking it), but because SPR is seriously overrated.

I know there are far more important things going on now, but... BEST PICTURE Gonna win: The Brutalist (but likely upset by Anora) Oughta win: I’m Still Here BEST ACTOR Gonna win: Adrian Brody, The Brutalist Oughta win: Daniel Craig, Queer (of the actual nominees, I’ll go with Chalamet) (1/5)

Holy fuck. I thought I was watching a YouTube video on how to spot malignant narcissists. Trump and Vance are textbook — the minimizing, the reframing, the gaslighting, the outright lies. www.bbc.com/news/videos/... #TrumpZelenskyy

To a degree, I feel the same way about Doug Ford voters.

We've lost Gene Hackman. A lifetime of great performances, but my favourite is Harry Caul in The Conversation. Atypically shy and introverted role for Hackman; a largely silent performance that relies on expression and reaction more than dialogue. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlBX...

The whole thing about the U.N. vote in which the U.S. (along with Russia, etc.) refused to condemn the Ukraine invasion reminds me of social-deduction games like Resistance, Avalon, etc. -- the moment when you hold a late vote and it's obvious who the bad guys are. We're playing that game now.
