……………………..It’s OSCAR NIGHT once again, and I for one will be watching…..I don’t think I have ever missed an Oscar show , and that’s saying a lot! Even when I was in Italy I would stay up into the wee hours of the morning to watch the live presentation on TV……..I have my favorites, but it seems every year there is always a surprise winner, and likewise a surprise loser……but they are all winners…….right?…………My picks are:….For best picture, Oppenheimer……best director, Christopher Nolan for Oppenheimer….best actor, Cillian Murphy for Oppenheimer, though Paul Giamatti and Bradley Cooper were very good, but for me it will be Cillian………Best actress will be interesting…..It will be between Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone…….I think Emma should win it, but the historic win will probably go to Ms. Gladstone……..Best supporting actor, Robert Downey Junior for Oppenheimer…..Best supporting actress, DaVine Randolph will win thought Jodie Forster was very good. America Ferrera is always mentioned, but she’s a no for me…..Best song, Billie Eilish’s, “What was I made for”, the Barbie movie….Best costumes is a toss up between Oppenheimer, Strange Things, and Napolean……I’m hoping Strange Things, but it could go to any of the three. however Napolean got such bad reviews they may not reward it for anything…..Best animated feature…..I haven’t seen any of them, but I’m going with “The Boy and the Heron”. That’s the one that’s been talked about the most……..Best cinematography I’m giving to Oppenheimer though “Poor Things” could steal it…….The spoiler for any category could be “Anatomy of a Fall”…..I hope not, but every Oscar has a spoiler! I have no opinion about the other categories. I always guess and loose. Jac always won or tied the contests we were in at parties!……………….REMEMBER!!!!!!! It’s on an hour earlier at 7:00pm EST. I guess that’s because we turned the clocks ahead one hour?????
