I live for the Academy Awards ! It is the highlight of my year. I make sure I see every movie in the runnings. I research each movie and actor/actress.

I can hardly contain myself.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Well. People have different interests.

For different reasons as well.

The only film I have seen in the running for the awards is "Dune: Part Two," and I would hardly consider that a winner for best picture. Perhaps for cinematography, however. The film was well shot, although... David Lynch's version of the battle scene at the end was better in every way.

Same here and it will stay that way for me. I have zero interest in the other films in the list.

Haven't seen any of the movies, recognize only 2-3 names and I couldn't pick any of them out of a lineup.

Dune: Part Two, The Brutalist and Conclave are the only three movies of 2024 that I have any interest in. I have seen Dune, and I loved it, and need to see the other two. The movie industry as a whole is in the trough of a huge wave these days. I am done with the Marvel universe, it was fun for a while, but now it has just become silly. It seems that most other movies are either remakes or sequels no-one asked for.

It's ok. I'm sure 90% of all Europeans do.

Here's a glowing review of Emilia Perez. I can hardly wait.

I watched a few minutes of "Emilia Perez" and it was instantly obvious to me why the Oscar committee promoted this one.

It uses the same premise as "Avatar" and "Dances with Wolves" but it was well executed IMHO.

The last Oscars I watched in full was around 2015 but that was only because my wife's friends had an "Oscar party" so I went for the free food. biggrin
