Curious to what people think with Top Gun. If it wins PGA, will you pick it as the eventual winner, even if it didn’t get nominated in the BAFTAs?

Yes.

So happy I actually predicted Riseborough (at the last second).

Disappointed Deadwyler didn’t make it…

Upset at myself for replacing Top Gun: Maverick with She Said in Adapted Screenplay. I could have had a 5/5 in that one!

Well, just another half hour until the moment we’ve been waiting for all year. (And and as Jason said above me, it’s almost more fun than actual Oscar day…) Cheers, and all the best to everyone!

These are my final (until I overthink them 5 minutes from now) predictions. And yes, I am predicting a Daniels snub — I fully expect to be wrong, but the director category is entirely up in the air and anything can happen. Plus, I have much better odds on everyone else, so if I’m going to be wrong I mind as well go out trying…

Best Picture:

• Top Gun: Maverick (win)
• The Banshees of Inisherin
• Elvis
• Avatar: The Way of Water
• The Fabelmans
• Tár
• Everything Everywhere All at Once
• All Quiet on the Western Front
• The Whale
• Women Talking

Best Director:

• Steven Spielberg, The Fabelmans (win)
• Martin McDonagh, The Banshees of Inisherin
• Todd Field, Tár
• Edward Berger, All Quiet on the Western Front
• Baz Luhrmann, Elvis

…I don’t know about Women Talking, but it’s pretty clear Aftersun is not happening for BP now. I do think it’s been massively over-praised lately.

Agreed, but I have absolutely no idea what to replace them with! If not for the mandatory 10 Best Picture nominees, this would’ve been a 7 – 8 year at best…

apparent tidpids from the infamous anonymous AMPAS voting ballots: -Members really like Top Gun: Maverick and have it ranked very high, or at the top, of their ballots. No consensus as to whether this means Cruise is #5 for Actor or not … 

Yep, I’ve been feeling a Top Gun: Maverick Best Picture win for a while now. The passion is clearly there. It may just be the most universally-loved film this year, nabbing a 1-3 spot on most ballots…

So, I just went and watched this because the poster looked interesting. Oh man, I wasn’t expecting that! What a heart-wrenching film. Brought a tear to my eye.

Edit: I found a list (with viewing links) to most of the other shortlisted shorts here, if anyone’s interested: https://www.shortoftheweek.com/news/oscar-short-films-2023-shortlists/

Thanks Gold Derby team! Interesting nominations this year. I’m disappointed Elvis didn’t have much of a showing. It was my favorite film this year, and a wonderful technical achievement…

But…
1) I’m happy Top Gun: Maverick did well…
2) I LOVE that Apollo 10 1/2 made it in to Animated Feature…
3) And, I’m very pleased that Argentina, 1985 made it into International Feature!

Opinion, but are we giving too much credence to Critic’s Choice as a precursor for Best Picture? I just checked, and in the last 10 years, they’ve only lined up with the Academy’s choice 4 times.

The acting categories have been pretty equal, but there’s still some disparity there. I still think it’s a wide open race…

I know it’s getting close to the deadline, but I hope more choices are added before time runs out. There just aren’t enough movies and performances covered in what’s there now (which is, ironically, the same issue I have with the Oscars. They cast too small a net). As one example, Argentina, 1985 just won the International Feature category at the Golden Globes and it’s still not an option for Best Picture in this poll. Seems crazy to me.

I just came here to say this same thing. I know it’s terribly late, but is there any chance Argentina, 1985 could please be added to Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay? It’s an amazing, important, well-made film, and its Golden Globe win proves its merit even more. I’ve been wanting to select it as my #5 picture pick for a while now, but haven’t been able to…

So happy for Argentina, 1985! It’s a powerful, very well crafted film that tells a tough subject in a nuanced and expertly balanced light. I didn’t expect it to win, but had it 3rd in my predictions…

My thoughts: Quan just won his Oscar, but Bassett’s win may just be Globes-only, like Jodie Foster a couple years ago…

I don’t have her winning… I’m going to tank

Same here, my friend. I went with De Leon because
1) I have 100/1 odds;
2) the Globes has a history of surprise passion picks;
3) I completely overthought my predictions.

…Best Supporting Actor: Barry Keoghan, The Banshees of Inisherin (he was in and carried my very favorite acted scene of 2022, the one by the river with Siobhan)…

Yes! Such a heartbreaking and well-acted scene. “Well, there goes that dream…” It’s probably my favorite scene of the year as well, along with the “Caught in a Trap” sequence from Elvis.
