Less blood perhaps but I like the added tension of that extra few weeks.
The Sunne in Splendour.
I prefer my roses whiteSad the nominations phase is over.
man they had good foresight to hold them early that year lmao
I remember seeing a picture of Taika Waititi and Bong Joon-Ho arriving at LAX wearing masks on Waititi’s Instagram that year and thought oh that looked cool. How times have changed lol.
Solidarity with the striking writers. Pay them the wages they are owed for bringing us the content we are all on here because of!
Are we under-predicting All Quiet?
All films have things going against them but except All Quiet being an adaption of a previous Oscar winner (and that was like 50,60 years ago) – it has so much strength.
? all quiet has a lot of things against. It miss picture( or something equivalent) in AFI, NBR, golden globes, critic choice, PGA, SAG,DGA. It only get in BAFTA. Could win the BAFTA not the oscar
Given some of the passion for other films in the category, I don’t think All Quiet winning International Film is completely locked up. I’m looking at how The Quiet Girl ends up doing with BAFTA.

The closest comparison to that would be Pans Labryinth losing FLF to Lives of Others when it had 6 oscar noms and 3 wins vs the 1 nom for Lives of Others. But Lives of Other did much better than The Quiet Girl at BAFTa. Funnily enough, Lives of Others was German submission that year and AQOTWF is the German submission this year and has a BP nom so I think it’s pretty safe to win FLF

Pan’s Labyrinth is exactly what I’ve had in mind. It’s a different BAFTA now, but The Quiet Girl should still get credit for its longlist performance and for actually landing the Adapted Screenplay nomination without any jury pull. This is a very competitive category this year, and given All Quiet’s opportunities to win elsewhere, I could see some interest in wealth-spreading.

Yeah but Lives of Others won NYFCC and LAFCC over Pans and got in Pic, Director, Screenplay and Actor at BAFTA (similar noms to AQOTWF without Craft) while Quiet Girl only got the additional screenplay nom at BAFTA and Pans was much stronger than Quiet Girl at BAFTA and Oscar’s (evident by the noms) and still got in CC and Globes while Quiet Girl didn’t even get in the latter 2.

I don’t know if the trifecta wins matter that much in this situation considering All Quiet didn’t win any of those either (in fact, EO swept). I actually think this speaks to how The Quiet Girl has been gradually building steam to have gotten what it has.
It’s not a perfect comparison – The Quiet Girl is a smaller scale film that hasn’t done as well as The Lives of Others, Pan’s, or All Quiet, but it’s still outperformed and feels more late-breaking than everything else in the category. It also has gotten some cross-branch support which we haven’t really seen for most of the other contenders besides All Quiet and Decision to Leave.

If I’m not mistaken, back in the day, the winners weren’t chosen by the Academy but the committee.
I have seen 4/10 of the Best Picture nominees so far. I don’t mind The Fabelmans going to win Best Picture and Directing. Spielberg really did a wonderful job. I didn’t even realized the film was long.

There is no world where International Feature is not going to the only film in that category that is also nominated for Best Picture,

probably was by committee like estrelas said, but something like that happend in 2001. In that year amelie has 5 oscar nominations ( screenplay, sound, foreign lenguage movie, art direction and cinematography). The movie had also 9 BAFTA nominations including best film. It was in a position similar to all quiet this year, probably was 8 in the race. So it was going to be nominated in best picture with more than 5 nominees. But it lose the oscar for foreign lenguage film against No Man’s Land, that won before the golden globe for foreign lenguage movie, but in the oscar had only the foreign lenguage movie nomination
Not so sure but I have a feeling either Todd or Tar might quietly hit the homerun.
well tar seems to be third in the race now

I have it winning Director right now
Don’t see Screenplay or Picture happening.
