Also it’s a crime that Charles Melton was not nominated!

I’m most excited for Gosling’s epic musical performance and Gladstone joining the noble ranks of “historic” winners the Denzel way and not the Cuba Gooding Jr way (IYKYK) As for my should/will: “Killers” was in every way the greater cinematic achievement of this year but I accept that the giant boom filmed with the giant camera will win!

I think Emma stone was technically good in Poor Things but Lily Gladstone’s performance actually made me feel something.

I’m also rooting for Gosling for Best Supporting Actor for his performance and because there are so many Oppenheimer gifs that would fit it RDJ loses

too bad Barbie and Poor Things can't tie for all the technical awards, they're both stunning and have weirdly similar plots

Which man with a lot of bronzer will look more haggard? Cilian when he wins or Bradley weird comment Cooper when he loses?

the oscars this year are like a perfect mix of fun, in the sense that most of the nominees are deserving, and boring, in the sense that we know exactly what will happen 💔 Warren Beatty we miss you…

I think Emma is god-level in Poor Things - and I also loved the film. That said, I'm pulling for Lily - who was also incredible and who will not likely get another role as good as this one for a long time. Emma, in contrast, is on the Meryl Streep train.

Am I the only one who think RDJ's performance was just fine? I'd kind of like any of the other nominees to win but I'm still salty Charles Melton was snubbed.

Honestly it just feels like the leadup to the Oscars has been so long and so many of the awards aren't even competitive - I hope Kimmel is on his A-game to give us an entertaining evening at least.

I’m hoping for lots of awards for Barbie, very few for Oppenheimer, Lily Gladstone wins everything (including write in votes for the categories in which she is not nominated). Go Ryan Gosling!!

Is it mean to say I want Bradley to lose just so I can enjoy his misery?

Sterling K. Brown should win *something* just for how fine he looks in American Fiction

Most looking forward to seeing what Coleman Domingo wears & how weird Bradley Cooper behaves 😋 Oscars night is one of my favorite times to be online!

My feelings about American Fiction are as yet unclear, but the whole time all I could think was: why doesn’t he just sell the damn 3-story Victorian mansion in Boston to make money

Messi for Best Supporting Actor and it’s not even a hot take!
