“Hold My Hand” from “Top Gun: Maverick”
“Lift Me Up” from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”
“Naatu Naatu” from “RRR”
“This Is A Life” from “Everything Everywhere All at Once”
I- would say that I am split between "Naatu Naatu" and "Hold my Hand". This is a tough category for me
ANIMATED FEATURE FILM
“Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio”
“Marcel the Shell With Shoes On”
“Puss in Boots: The Last Wish”
“The Sea Beast”
“Turning Red”
This is a staked list, one that does not always happen. This list has two of my favorite films of last year, "Pinocchio" and "Puss in Boots". This should go to "Pinocchio."
ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
“All Quiet on the Western Front”
“Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery”
“Living”
“Top Gun: Maverick”
“Women Talking”
-"Glass Onion" in this category confused me. What was it based on? My guess for this is to keep the "Women Talking".
ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
“The Banshees of Inisherin”
“Everything Everywhere All at Once”
“The Fabelmans”
“Tár”
“Triangle of Sadness”
-The dialogue of "Banshees" should carry this category.
ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Austin Butler, “Elvis”
Colin Farrell, “The Banshees of Inisherin”
Brendan Fraser, “The Whale”
Paul Mescal, “Aftersun”
Bill Nighy, “Living”
I swear that if anyone wins besides Fraser, ill be pissed.
ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE
Cate Blanchett, “Tár”
Ana de Armas, “Blonde”
Andrea Riseborough, “To Leslie”
Michelle Williams, “The Fabelmans”
Michelle Yeoh, “Everything Everywhere All at Once”
-It is truly between Yeoh and Blanchett, my bet is Blanchett.
DIRECTOR
Martin McDonagh, “The Banshees of Inisherin”
Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan, “Everything Everywhere All at Once”
Steven Spielberg, “The Fabelmans”
Todd Field, “Tár”
Ruben Ostlund, “Triangle of Sadness”
The true heart this year, you can feel it in the film.... Spielberg for the win.
PRODUCTION DESIGN
“All Quiet on the Western Front”
“Avatar: The Way of Water”
“Babylon”
“Elvis”
“The Fabelmans”
"Babylon" nailed its look, my pick for the win...
CINEMATOGRAPHY
“All Quiet on the Western Front”
“Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths”
“Elvis”
“Empire of Light”
“Tár”
Im having "1917" flashbacks. Is it crazy to think that war movies should always win?
COSTUME DESIGN
“Babylon”
“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”
“Elvis”
“Everything Everywhere All at Once”
“Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris”
Im going to pick the hot take of Mrs Harris Goes to Paris".
ACHIEVEMENT IN SOUND
“All Quiet on the Western Front”
“Avatar: The Way of Water”
“The Batman”
“Elvis”
“Top Gun: Maverick”
.....The jet fighter one. "Avatar" has the effects but to get that in the air quality, "Top Gun"!!!
ANIMATED SHORT FILM
“The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse”
“The Flying Sailor”
“Ice Merchants”
“My Year of Dicks”
“An Ostrich Told Me the World Is Fake and I Think I Believe It”
LIVE ACTION SHORT FILM
“An Irish Goodbye”
“Ivalu”
“Le Pupille”
“Night Ride”
“The Red Suitcase”
-It is always great for anyone to get a nomination. As many know its hard to see the short nominations in any category. I do promise if I am able to see any, you all will here about it.
ORIGINAL SCORE
“All Quiet on the Western Front”
“Babylon”
“The Banshees of Inisherin”
“Everything Everywhere All at Once”
“The Fabelmans”
-"Babylon" should be the winner, it elevated us to another level..... The two people watching it, including me.
VISUAL EFFECTS
“All Quiet on the Western Front”
“Avatar: The Way of Water”
“The Batman”
“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”
“Top Gun: Maverick”
-It's hard to pick a favorite, this is a stacked category. Whatever your thoughts on the movie,,,,, the effects made "Avatar"!
FILM EDITING
“The Banshees of Inisherin”
“Elvis”
“Everything Everywhere All at Once”
“Tár”
“Top Gun: Maverick”
This is truly another stacked category. The fight scenes and the flight scenes of "Everything Everywhere All at Once" and "Top Gun" have me torn.
MAKEUP AND HAIRSTYLING
“All Quiet on the Western Front”
“The Batman”
“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”
“Elvis”
“The Whale”
This could be the year Marvel gets two oscars....Just saying.
