Sean Baker on physical media after an Oscar win last night, captured from @letterboxd.social

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

‘FLOW’ director Gints Zilbalodis celebrating his #Oscar win at In-N-Out.

1. EEAAO 2. Oppenheimer 3. Anora 4. Shape of Water 5. Parasite 6. Coda Haven’t see the others but I’m sure Green Book is going to be at the bottom

Thrilled to see a rabid cinephile like Sean Baker - a champion of an indie film economy + the importance of both the theatrical experience + physical media - land so big at the Oscars with a labour of love like ANORA. 🧵

You get rid of the shorts & craft awards at the main event… you’ll also get rid of all hope for young struggling filmmakers… Soon we’ll have nothing to watch… 🎬🎥🍿 📺📽️ #Oscars #FilmSky

Anyway, go watch Nickel Boys.

Two Oscar winners

The first ever ghostface to win an Oscar 🔪🖤

BILLY! #Oscars

I love Sean’s “keep making films for the big screens” mantra which he has made a trademark on the Anora festival and awards circuit but the bit about parents sharing films in theaters with their kids felt especially resonant tonight. Do this, please. If theaters are meant to survive, they need kids.

Fuck yeah Sean Baker, he’s right.

I'm going to pretend Adrien got this for the #PokerFace pilot. #Oscars

Though this will always be his greatest role:

Brody absolutely needs to play another artist who survived the Holocaust for a threepeat

These clips of NICKEL BOYS are a painful reminder of this movie's embarrassing omission in the Best Cinematography category. Just absolutely legendary work. #oscars

Challengers should have been nominated for Best Score #Oscars

ISHTAR for best picture because of woke?!? What kind of world are we living in??? #participationtrophy 😔

NICKEL BOYS should have been the film with 13 noms tbh #Oscars

No Other Land Co-Director Yuval Abraham: "The foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path. Why? Can't you see that we are intertwined? There is another way. It's not too late for life, for the living. There is no other way."

Jomo Fray should be competing in Best Cinematography for Nickel Boys. I’d give him the gold. @samadams.bsky.social makes a good case for why. slate.com/culture/2024...

Nickel Boys should have gotten a Cinematography nomination - really used the format to tell the story in some incredible ways, just fantastic work. #Oscars2025 #HATM

This doesn't take into consideration the egregious absence Tony Todd.

My girl Gena 😭

As someone who watched a fuckton of shorts last year, Anuja should have won (I’m Not Robot is fun but not what I would have picked or even shortlisted) #Oscars

A meaningful powerful speech a most needed speech.

if i were winning an award for emilia perez (ew) i would simply fucking say anything about the assault on trans lives and rights in this country

NO OTHER LAND!!!! No Other Land now has more Oscars than it did distribution offers. a great and enduring shame upon the American film industry. free Palestine forever.

I WATCHED EMILIA PÈREZ AND I SAY NUKE THE FRENCH

The #Oscars orchestra when the Best Original Song winners from EMILIA PEREZ suddenly began singing during their acceptance speech:

There should be a tribute to David Lynch, where they just show 60 seconds of a static shot of a steam filled underground corridor, with a flickering fluorescent light backed with ominous washing and a distant scream

Also, and I know I'm FAR from the first to note this, but every time the camera lingers on Isabella Rossellini in her blue velvet my heart explodes with joy. Such a magnificent tribute.

we got a two-shot of Isabella Rossellini and Laura Dern and that will be my takeaway

I’m also at 7/9 this far (I got both screenplays wrong)

Isabella Rossellini wearing blue velvet. 👏

Isabella robbed #Oscars

one perfect shot

If you’re not Adele and you’re not singing it ironically, don’t sing Skyfall.

We have a perfectly good Adele, thanks

This Bond tribute has a real "end of an era, start of an algorithm" feel to it. #Oscars

I am so frustrated with Amazon’s rollout (or non-rollout) of Nickel Boys, which is truly why I believe it has been so massively overlooked. The film is a masterpiece and no one saw it.

#JusticeForNickelBoys

Actors gushing over craftspeople instead of other actors is the kind of Oscars edit I can absolutely get behind!

Igby Goes Down was foundational in solidifying my love of film as a young adult, so seeing Kieran Culken win an #Oscar warms my heart.

The little cat from Flow having a little Oscar..... 😭😭😭😭
