1. I am going to listen to this tomorrow.
   From what I’ve seen
   I rate the best picture nominees:
   1. Poor Things
   2. Oppenheimer
   3. The Holdovers
   4. Maestro
   5. Barbie
   6. Past Lives
   It’s hard to believe I will like a movie more than Poor Things but I’ll see.

   Best Actor – would pick Cooper slightly over Giamatti.
   Actress – Stone although I can’t wait to see Sandra Huller.
   Supporting- Ruffalo who really surprised me and Joy- Randolph.
   I was glad to see Poor Things get the tech awards, Godzilla get effects. I was glad Spiderman lost Animation and Barbie lost Screenplay.

   War is Over and Last Repair shop were deserving winners although I preferred ABCs of book banning.

   I disliked three of the 4 doc features. I haven’t seen To Kill a Tiger but I liked Bobi Wine a lot.

   The show was great. I agree with Ben Shapiro – for probably the first time ever – John Mullaney should host next year. I thought DeFoe should have been nominated instead of Gosling and Gosling pissed me off by complaining about Gerwigs not getting nominated but his number was a real showstopper and the highlight of the evening.

   1. You were also right that in prepping for the Oscars, there were quite a number of movies that would’ve made my Favorites of 2023 list. Godzilla Minus One being the most obvious, but also Poor Things, Past Lives, The Holdovers, Anatomy of a Fall right off the top of my head.

2. You are so right. I said the same thing about Poor Things and The Favourite. Enough with the fish eye lens!
