UPDATE: 8 OF MY 16 PICKS WON, WHICH IS ADMITTEDLY MORE THAN I EXPECTED BUT I'M STILL PISSED. THE ACADEMY IS COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF COWARDS SO DESPERATE TO REMAIN RELEVANT THEY'D RATHER GO WITH AN OVERHYPED BLOCKBUSTER RATHER THAN RECOGNIZE TRUE CINEMA. LILY GLADSTONE WAS ROBBED!!! HOW DARE THEY PAT THEMSELVES ON THE BACK FOR "HER HISTORIC RUN" THEN HAND IT TO EMMA FUCKING STONE, I MEAN NOTHING AGAINST YOU PERSONALLY, EMILY, AND EVERYONE KNOWS I FUCKING LOVED POOR THINGS BUT YOU DID NOT DESERVE IT LILY GLADSTONE BEAT YOU IN HER SLEEP. ALSO GIVING RDJ BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR OVER MARK RUFFALO? GET REAL. I MEAN I WOULD HAVE EVEN TAKEN RYAN THE KEN GOSLING, GODDAMN. AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON BEST ORIGINAL SCORE I THINK I'M GOING TO THROW UP, AT LEAST POOR THINGS SWEPT FOR THE ART DEPARTMENT

oscars 2024

the 96th Academy Awards

the oscars are just about here, and i've seen every best picture nom but Maestro, so i guess it's about time i declare where i'm throwing my support. i may add other categories or change things as i see more movies, so check back in the day of the awards! (not sure how long i intend to keep this up afterward, probably will delete it eventually).


as always, let me know your thoughts in my chatbox, especially if you think i'm wrong! if you don't want your takes to be public, you can also email me at itsonlyjoey@proton.me.
