1
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: Another year is in the books. Let's recap the twenty

2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: twenty six Oscars. Overall, I thought was a really strong year.

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: I think twenty twenty five has the potential to be

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: the best year of the decade, clearly the best year

5
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: in movie since twenty nineteen. We are on the up

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: and up, and I think going into this award show,

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: everybody thought Sinners was going to dominate, had a record

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: amount of nominations. But I warned you, anytime the Academy

9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: loads up on a movie like that, usually that movie

10
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: doesn't end up winning all the awards. Whenever it happened

11
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: to Killers of the Flower Moon, where it had all

12
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: these nominations, everybody thought it was going to dominate. But

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: sometimes I feel they just give certain movies all those

14
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: nominations and that's kind of an award in itself, and

15
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: then they're like, all right, but we're gonna definitely vote

16
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: a different way. That is what I felt. Well, what

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: happened this year, But let's talk about the big awards.

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: Best Picture went to one battle after another. I will

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: give you how many of these I got right in

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: my prediction episode that one I got right. I think

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: I am on a streak since twenty nineteen, I always

22
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: nailed Best Picture. To me, that is the easiest one

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: to identify. I just kind of know how the Academy

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: votes in this category specifically, so I continue my seven

25
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: year winning streak on that and in this case, I

26
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: do think it is well deserved. That was my number

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: one movie out of all these where I thought it

28
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: had the right amount of action and had the right

29
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: amount of directing and cast. Everything about that movie I

30
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: felt was great. I knew it was going to be

31
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: one battle after another and sinners fighting all night long.

32
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: I would say the biggest winner here is Warner Brothers,

33
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,919
Speaker 1: who it didn't matter what was going to win. Warner

34
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: Brothers was going to win. But that took home the

35
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 1: big award. Paul Thomas Anderson, after eleven nominations, finally picked

36
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: up his Oscars again. I think sometimes the Academy just decides,

37
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: we've been wrong for so long, we need to give

38
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: somebody their flowers. I think that was the case back

39
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: when Leonardo DiCaprio finally won for the Revenant, even though

40
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that was the role he should have

41
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: won for. It was just the Academy saying, okay, we

42
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: have been burning and snubbing these directors and actors for

43
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: so long. This is gonna be the year we finally

44
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: give it to them. So I was glad to see

45
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: that movie take home the Best Picture award. Best Director

46
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: also went to Paul Thomas Anderson, which I got.

47
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: That one right. I just knew.

48
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: Even though I really wanted and would have loved to

49
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: have seen Ryan Coogler win that award, I just think overall,

50
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: one battle after another just pushed it a little bit further,

51
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: and that movie was just a little bit more dynamic

52
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: to me. Best Actor went to Michael B. Jordan, which

53
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: to me was a surprise. And I think it's because

54
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: Sinners came out almost a year ago now that whenever

55
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: award season rolled around, I just couldn't really place him

56
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: on that stage accepting that award, and with Marty Supreme

57
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: coming out at Christmas time, the entire campaign around that movie,

58
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: Timothy Shallow May just basically screaming that he wanted to

59
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: win the Academy Award for Best Actor. Maybe he campaigned

60
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: a little bit too hard, and maybe I just bought

61
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: into the hype. And right after December release, I was

62
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: so excited about that movie and it was weird watching

63
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: the Award Show and seeing Marty Supreme lose category after category,

64
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, but we're going to get to

65
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: the big one and he's gonna win. But when I

66
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: started to see how Marty Supreme felt stacked up to

67
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: these other movies, it kind of clicked with me that

68
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: I thought, Man, maybe that movie wasn't as good as

69
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: I thought it was, at least in the Academy's eyes.

70
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: Still think a highly entertaining I stand by my four

71
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: point five out of five rating, but seeing it stacked

72
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: up to a Sinner's one battle after or another a

73
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: sentimental value, even I throw the Secret Agent in there,

74
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: it just didn't really have that same caliber of comparison

75
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: to these movies. And maybe the ping pong thing just

76
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: gets to be a little bit cheesy in comparison, But

77
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: something about that, and just Timothy Shadow May in the

78
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, I feel like even my perspective

79
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: has changed on him a little bit. And I know

80
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: what he said about ballet and opera came after everybody voted,

81
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: so that didn't really factor in, but to me it

82
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: kind of did. It felt that way, at least because

83
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: they were taking jabs at him all nine long. The

84
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: only time he got screen time was when people were

85
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: roasting him or making fun of him, or making claims

86
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: of how idiotic his statements were, saying that essentially Opera

87
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: and Dan are a dying industry, which is a wild

88
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: thing to say for somebody who makes movies for a

89
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: living where theaters are struggling so much just to keep

90
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: their doors open, and you part of a movie from

91
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: a smaller studio a twenty four that fights for their

92
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: life every time they put out a film in theaters.

93
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: What a wild thing to say.

94
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: So my perspective changed on him a little bit, but

95
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: I tried not to let that change how I felt

96
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: about his performance in that movie. But I told you guys,

97
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: when I watched that movie, I thought, I don't know

98
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,119
Speaker 1: how much he is acting, and it's just like Marty

99
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: Supreme in real life, very overly confident. Some of the

100
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: way he acted in that I was just like, that

101
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: has to come from a place more than just being

102
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: a good actor.

103
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: But Michael B.

104
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: Jordan cool to see him when finally get his first Oscar.

105
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: Best Actress went to Jesse Buckley, which I actually got correct.

106
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: I thought that one was an easy category. To also

107
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: see her pick up her first Oscar I thought was

108
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: really cool, and when talking about The Bride recently, I said,

109
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: this is about to be Jesse Buckley's time, and if

110
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: she could pick up this award, she is going to

111
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: enter that category of everybody wanting to put Jesse Buckley

112
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: in their movie and also her potentially becoming more of

113
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: a household name. So that was really cool to see

114
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: her win. Best Supporting Actor went to Sean Penn, which

115
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: I had Benicio del Toro, and I thought maybe they

116
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: would split the vote a little bit here, but I

117
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: just don't think that Sean Penn's performance was as strong

118
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: or as memorable as Benicio. I know he didn't have

119
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: as much screen time. Benicio did it in that movie,

120
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: but to me, it was the Leonardo DiCaprio Benicio del

121
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: Toro movie to me more so than Sean Penn. But

122
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: he didn't even show up, which is a wild thing

123
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: to win such a massive award and not show up.

124
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: I could understand if Sean Penn won a Nickelodeon Kid's

125
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: Choice Awards and didn't go to accept it. Okay, I

126
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: understand that Sean Penn, but to win the Oscar for

127
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: Best Supporting Actor and not show up.

128
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: What are you doing?

129
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: Like? Is he just out tanning his skin to get

130
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: it look a little bit more leathery? What was Sean

131
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: Penn doing that was so important that he couldn't make

132
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: it to the award show? So for that reason alone,

133
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: they should have gave it to Beniso del Toro, who

134
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: had the best performance in a supporting role in my opinion,

135
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: and the best line delivery of twenty twenty five. Few

136
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 1: small beers that line was the line. Best Supporting Actress

137
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: went to Amy Madigan from Weapons. I got that one wrong.

138
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: I thought it would have been El Fanning. But a

139
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: big win for Weapons, which I thought should have been

140
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: nominated more, I think, more so than Amy winning, which

141
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: was a really cool speech. She was very emotional. I

142
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: also love seeing director Zach Kreiger in the audience how

143
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: emotional he got. He was crying because he was so

144
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: excited for them to really only have that one big

145
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: nomination for Weapons and to win it, I think is huge.

146
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: Again the win for Warner Brothers here. But I just

147
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: really loved Weapons.

148
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: I thought the story was really compelling, had a great

149
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: pop culture moment. I just feel like that movie should

150
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: have been nominated for Best Picture and Zach Kreiger definitely

151
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: should have been nominated for Best Director, so that didn't happen.

152
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: They got snubbed there, but I'm glad they picked up

153
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: the award for Best Supporting Actress. Best Animated Film was easy.

154
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: K Pop Demon Hunters had a big night. They also

155
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: won for Best Original Song. That performance was fantastic. If

156
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: that movie would not have won both of those categories,

157
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: I think it would have been a major injustice with

158
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: the Academy trying to appeal to everybody and to have

159
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: the biggest movie and the biggest song from a movie nominated.

160
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: If they didn't win, that would have been a huge injustice.

161
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: I also love during that performance seeing people like Leonardo DiCaprio.

162
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: Or these prestigious actors who.

163
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: You think so highly of, know what that song is

164
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: and be seeing along to it.

165
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: That was a win for me.

166
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: Best Original Screenplay went to Sinners, which I got correct.

167
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: Ryan Kugler going up there to accept the award to

168
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: me was one of the moments of the night because

169
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: he is such I feel respected person in Hollywood. Where

170
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: he got up there and people stood up. People were

171
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: really excited even if they weren't a part of Sinners.

172
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: I think people really like Ryan Kugler and want to

173
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: work with him to see him finally get his first Oscar.

174
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: Please please, please, please shut out because I'm very nervous

175
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: and they gonna play me off because from I grew

176
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: up at Olkland, Richmond, California, and we can talk a lot.

177
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: So I want to thank the Academy for thinking of

178
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: our movie that came out almost a year ago. And

179
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: I know it took so long for Paul Thomas Anderson

180
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: to get his for directing, But the great thing about

181
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: what I see in Ryan Kugler's career is that won't

182
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: be his only opportunity to win. He will get that

183
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: award eventually, but to see him get for writing, I

184
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: feel as a big deal for him. Best Adapted Screenplay,

185
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: which to one Battle after another. I got that one wrong.

186
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: I thought it would have went to Frankenstein, but Frankenstein

187
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: did pick up the other two awards that I got right,

188
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling. If that

189
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: movie didn't win in that category again, much like K

190
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: Pop Demon Hunters, what are we doing here in comparison

191
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: to every other film in that category, just seeing Jacob

192
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: Elordi go through one day of hair and makeup, which

193
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: I believe they said in total he did like five

194
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: hundred hours or something crazy like that. If that didn't win,

195
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: that would have been an injustice Best Visual Effects, which

196
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: to Avatar, Fire and Nash, which I got correct. Kind

197
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: of an honor for just that movie to be nominated.

198
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: But the biggest takeaway of that movie is it is

199
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: a spectacle to see on the big screen. How much

200
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: work goes into that. So I'm always glad to see

201
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: people in that category or the costume and hair and

202
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: makeup win because I feel like those people really care

203
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: the most about their craft and they're not forward facing.

204
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: So I think all of those speeches, which by the way,

205
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: they cut off a lot of people, they retract the

206
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: mic on people.

207
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: I think that is unfair.

208
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: And I know they tried to keep the show on time,

209
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: and they say they're thinking all these people that nobody

210
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: knows about it, so it feels really weird to put

211
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: on TV. But if you don't want that, then don't

212
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: have award shows. This is the pinnacle of their life.

213
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: All of their hard work is finally paying off. And

214
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: you want to rush them off the stage. Don't have

215
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: a ward shows then if you don't want people to

216
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: get up there and pour their heart out and give

217
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: thanks to all the people who got them there, that

218
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: is the entire point of award show speeches.

219
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 2: So stop cutting people off.

220
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: Have some more categories here to go through. Film editing

221
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: went to one battle after another. I got that wrong.

222
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: I thought it would have went to Marty Supreme. I

223
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: thought the editing in Marty Supreme added to the fast

224
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: pacedness of that movie. But I think somewhere in the

225
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: campaign they just maybe made some people angry or people

226
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: just did not believe in that movie. I thought they

227
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: would win something, maybe the lower tier awards, but they

228
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: won nothing, which was crazy. Best Cinematography went to Sinners.

229
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: I'm okay getting this one wrong because I still believe

230
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: that Train Dreams had the best cinematography, at least the

231
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: cinematography that speaks to me the most. It just felt

232
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: so warm and comforting, and the colors were so rich

233
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: and just capturing the countryside.

234
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 2: I thought was fantastic. I thought Sinners looked.

235
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: Really good, and again maybe it's because I haven't seen

236
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: that movie in over a year. Now, I was fresh

237
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: off of seeing Train Dreams when I did my predictions,

238
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: but it was cool to see the first ever woman

239
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: win that category. Autumn durral Arkipa became the first woman

240
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: in Oscar history to win the award for Best Cinematography.

241
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: So in the end, I'm okay with that, even though

242
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: I really loved the cinematography and Train Dreams. Best Sound

243
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: went to F One, which I got correct in comparison

244
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: to every other movie in that category. I think that

245
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: was the only movie I talked about the sound design

246
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: in the review of that because it was so much

247
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: a part of that movie's DNA and the enjoyment of that.

248
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: It was the use of sound and everything layered together.

249
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes the absence of sound was even more effective in

250
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: that movie of making you feel like you were right

251
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: there in that seat driving that car like Brad Pitt.

252
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: So I feel like this was another important movie to

253
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: include because I think it was one that was a

254
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: big summer blockbuster that a lot of people saw, So

255
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: I'm glad it did not go home empty handed. Best

256
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: International Film went to Sentimental Value, which on the episode

257
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: I said that it was gonna win, even though that

258
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: wasn't my favorite in the category. It was just an Accident,

259
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: which you can watch it now on Hulu. Has to

260
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: be my favorite in this and it got no love.

261
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad it was nominated, but that was one of

262
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: those movies I didn't expect much from. I put it

263
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: on and I was blown away. I still think about

264
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: that movie. So if you haven't seen it was just

265
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: an accident. Of all the movies I haven't talked about

266
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: yet that were nominated for Oscars, that is the one

267
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: I think if you go into it with an open mind.

268
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: It is in another language. It is from France, but

269
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: I think that doesn't take away from how crazy the

270
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: story is, how much tension there is, how much anxiety.

271
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: It will give you great storytelling. So watch it in

272
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: its original language, put on subtitles, and I think you

273
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: will enjoy that movie.

274
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: It is on Hulu Best Casting.

275
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: I got this one wrong too, went to one battle

276
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: after another. I thought it would have been Marty Supreme. Again.

277
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: This was a new category this year, so I didn't

278
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: really know how it was going to work. I just

279
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: thought Marty Supreme had a lot of interesting choices, like

280
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank, a lot of out of

281
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: the box and non actors who made up the cast,

282
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: and I thought maybe that would deserve an Academy Award.

283
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: Turns out I was wrong. One Battle after another took

284
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: home that award. In total, I got eleven out of

285
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: eighteen correct and in total, one battle after another took

286
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: home the most awards with six. Sinners had four, Frankenstein

287
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: had three, K Pop, Demon Hunters had two, and then

288
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: everything else that had one with sentimental value, Avatar Weapons,

289
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: Hamnett and f one. Overall, when it came to the

290
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: award show, I thought it was pretty tame. Although I

291
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: think Conan is the best host for the Oscars because

292
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: he is the right amount of funny where he is

293
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: a great host obviously, keeps it moving along really well.

294
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: You feel this warmth with him, and he is funny

295
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: in a way that is wacky and over the top.

296
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: But I think you have to have somebody like that

297
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: for the Oscars otherwise it just gets really boring. So

298
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: he is turned up to a ten, but I think

299
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: you need that in an award show that doesn't have

300
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: a whole lot of musical performances aside from the stars

301
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: sitting in the crowd. You don't have a whole lot

302
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: of star power the presenters. Yes, I thought it had

303
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: a great cold open where he was dressed in the

304
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: weapons makeup and then he runs through scenes from every

305
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: movie that was nominated for Best Picture.

306
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: I thought that was great.

307
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: I thought all of the pre made segments that aired

308
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: through the show are fantastic. There was a post credit scene.

309
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: I just think overall, it is probably hard to get

310
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: people who are not a fan of all these movies,

311
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: or maybe haven't seen a lot of these movies to

312
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: be as interested as somebody like me in this award show.

313
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 2: And I love it. I love comparing my picks.

314
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: All night long, seeing what ends up winning, seeing a

315
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: lot of first which I think this year was a

316
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: pretty big year for a lot of firsts, and I

317
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: think that is something that the Academy is trying to

318
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: fix some of its past of just being a bunch

319
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: of white dudes to win all these awards. I think

320
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: as far as representation, it was pretty good this year,

321
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: the best that it has been in probably the last

322
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: five or so years. Me as a Latino, I would

323
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: have liked to have seen obviously a little bit more representation,

324
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: But when it came to the Movies nominated. We had

325
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: The Secret Agent, and that movie is set in Brazil

326
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: in the nineteen seventies, And as much as I wanted

327
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: to really love that movie, it was probably my least

328
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: favorite out of all of the Best Picture nominees. And

329
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: I think it's just because, for the very first time

330
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: in a long time, I just didn't understand the point

331
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: of it. I thought it started out really great, really intense.

332
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: The first I would say thirty or forty minutes reminded

333
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: me of the first time I watched No Country for

334
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: Old Men. But the movie was very long and dialogue heavy,

335
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: and it was overall just a commentary on politics in

336
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: Brazil being kind of corrupt at times. I just thought

337
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: maybe I was looking for a little bit more action.

338
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: And Wagner Mora is in it, who was also Pablo

339
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: Escobar and Narcos, I just thought maybe I unfairly associated

340
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: him with that character still and thought there was gonna

341
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: be a little bit more action, maybe just some moment

342
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: where everything just kind of clicked, kind of got there

343
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: a little bit in the third act. But overall, that

344
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: was just my least favorite film, even though it was

345
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: the film representing people who look like me. But that

346
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: is how I felt about that movie. That is how

347
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: I felt about this Awards show season. I think overall

348
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: pretty solid. If I had to give the Oscars a

349
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: rating for this year, four out of five trophies, the

350
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: people I really wanted to win finally got their Oscars,

351
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: because the biggest surprise to me was Marty Supreme going

352
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: home empty handed. And I'm starting to believe that Timothy

353
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: Shallomey might not ever win his Oscar, at least not

354
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: right now. Maybe he needs another ten years of being seasoned.

355
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: I think he is going to be another Leonardo DiCaprio situation,

356
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: where it's gonna be a role way down in his

357
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: career that might not feel like the biggest role for him,

358
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: but I kind of feel like he has some growing

359
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: up to do at thirty years old that I just

360
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: feel he has been so hungry for this. It's almost

361
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: like when you know somebody wants it so bad, you're like, oh, really,

362
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: oh this is kind of unattractive. It is really weird

363
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: how just the few things can make you feel a

364
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: little bit differently about a person. I just think he

365
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: needs to do something to wow the Academy a little

366
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: bit more than he did with his performance in Marty Supreme.

367
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: But those are my thoughts on the twenty twenty six

368
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: oscars
