Just heard the news since I’m behind on my podcasts. Glad you’ll continue with Filmspotting; I don’t always agree, but you all do a better job there than I ever could.

Four more films watched since Sinners. Head somewhere else for a lengthy review. #filmsky

Had to make some tough decisions at www.nytimes.com/interactive/... but I think things worked out okay in the end. Tried to avoid creator and subject overlap and not pick anything created during the pandemic; recommend everyone making a list especially if you have Letterboxd! #FilmSky

Literally just started watching this episode; that first question was RIGGED.

Clown in a Cornfield: directed by the co-writer and director of Tucker and Dale vs Evil, 96 minutes long, and includes a gay romance subplot. Should I expect it to make the lineup down the road?

If Lin-Manuel (and a script originated by Taika) couldn’t get you there, you’re going to be really disappointed with the sequel.

Finally, congratulations to Anora on Best Picture (five wins of six nominations). I only got 10 predictions right this year, but I’m happier with the reality of it all. #Oscars2025

Sorry, Conan, but anyone who did blackface doesn’t get to be “the best ever.” #Oscars2025

Congratulations to Mikey Madison for Best Leading Actress! Make your next steps carefully. (Sorry, Demi.) #Oscars2025

Carter Adams @criticarter.bsky.social · Mar 3

Did QT get picked to present just because Sean Baker cast Mikey Madison because of a film that dropped back in 2020? What if Baker didn’t just win Best Director? That would have been really awkward. #Oscars2025

Congratulations to Adrien Brody for Best Leading Actor! #Oscar2025

Congratulations to the team behind I’m Still Here for Best International Feature! Sorry you’ll forever be confused with the last Bob Dylan movie and the fake Joaquin documentary. #Oscars2025

Congratulations to Lol Crawley for Best Cinematography! #Oscars2025

How is Nickel Boys not nominated for Cinematography? WHERE DID THEY HIDE THE CAMERAS?! #Oscars2025

When they forget Michelle Trachtenberg, David Johansen & Tony Todd from the In Memoriam segment.

Why does Gene Hackman get to double dip for In Memoriam and not the folks who weren’t terrible to their directors and costars? #Oscars2025

Congratulations to the team behind I’m Not a Robot for Best Live Action Short (and not just because I randomly predicted they’d win tonight)! #Oscars2025

Carter Adams @criticarter.bsky.social · Mar 3

And Best Visual Effects, apparently. #Oscars2025

Congratulations to the team behind Dune: Part Two for Best Sound! #Oscars2025

I wonder which of these firefighters they just brought onstage are actually incarcerated people used for slave labor (which California recently voted to keep going!) #Oscars2025
