Okay so next #OSCARRace2025 #Predicitions let’s jump to #BestDirector James Mangold for “A Complete Unknown” & Jacques Audiard for “Emilia Perez” both good movies but doen’t stand out among the other nominees, Coralie Fargeat for “The Substance” a super original story told in a fun unusual way…

So #OSCARRace2025 #Predictions #AnimatedShorts So this was a good bunch of shorts, #MagicCandies & #InTheShadowOfTheCypress are both interesting & hint at buried feelings & dealing w/past events, good but the story is pretty straightforward, #BeautifulMen is a surprising story that seems

More #OSCARRace2025 thoughts/Predictions #BestAnimated So #InsideOut2 is fun but the story is getting a bit too complex, #MemoirOfASnail & #TheWildRobot tell wonderful stories of rising to the occasion & learning to adapt & Change but they at times feels a bit weighty so harder to find it’s audience

Okay #OSCARRace2025 Picks Starting w/ #DocumentaryFeature I love the Docs they always challenge me, so my Fav is #SugarCane so emotional & hints of people rising to help others is so powerful. #SoundtrackToCoupdEtat & #BlackBoxDiaries show important facts & Ideas but not as emotional. Next (1 of 2)

#OSCARRace2025 review #SoundtrackToACoupdEtat an interesting #Documentary on how the American Government has used its artists & musicians to promote Government policies & but not always promoting Democracy. Well made movie, let’s the viewer make up their own minds. 8.5 ⭐️ out of 10⭐️ boxd.it/8XqVx9

Some really good noms not as many surprises this year as other’s I thought. I agree #Challengers getting no noms is a bit surprising. I would also have loved for #Blitz to get some love (even if it was a technical nom), we all can agree on #DanielleDeadwyler was robbed again #OSCARRace2025
