[DKehoe]

I'd pick Marty Supreme for Best Picture. But I feel like it's either going to One Battle After Another or Sinners.

 

[Revolutionary]

The only Best Picture nominee I've seen so far is Sinners, and I don't think it deserves to be up there. It's not a bad movie but... Best Picture of the year? Really??

 

[near]

I'd pick Marty Supreme for Best Picture. But I feel like it's either going to One Battle After Another or Sinners.

Agreed. I'd vote for Marty Supreme as well.

[HRK69]

Marty Supreme all the way. It was fantastic

The Secret Agent is close second for me

 

[MaestroMike]

 

[DKehoe]

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

The Oscars are a thing of the past... They don't attract the same attention as before.

They give too many nominations to mediocre to bad films.

 

[Fbh]

Will Geoff show up to announce the Highguard movie at the end ?

 

[DKehoe]

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

In conclusion. There wasn't a single good movie this year.

You didn't enjoy a single new movie this year? How many did you watch?

 

[HRK69]

In conclusion. There wasn't a single good movie this year.

Honestly, if you didn't find a single good movie this year, you either barely watched anything or your taste is insanely narrow

2025 had plenty of great films

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Hope Sinners wins every award category it's been nominated in

 

[HRK69]

 

[DKehoe]

 

[tamago84]

Oscars just another amusement pandering to the rich elitist class

 

[Saber]

How the heck One Battle after Another got so many nominations is beyond me. Might be my first time skipping this.

 

[John Marston]

Hope Sinners wins every award category it's been nominated in

NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt up to his usual antics

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I stopped caring about these in the late 90s. It's so bad now with how woke left Hollywood is.

 

[near]

 

[RickSanchez]

I have the mildest of mild interest this year to see if F1 wins anything. Great movie, very entertaining, terribly unrealistic in terms of things that are permitted in F1, but very entertaining nonetheless. Not to mention excellent visuals of the racing action.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

The annual pretender's back-patting and activists speeches event.

 

[Mr Hyde]

One Battle after another is the only movie I've seen who is nominated in the important categories. I hope P.T Anderson takes home Best director and Sean Penn Best supporting. Absolutely sublime performance by him.

However, you can't take the Oscars seriously anymore with all the bullshit and scandals that's been taking place the last couple of years. Nothing but a bunch of fucking hypocrites running that town. No wonder viewership is at an all time low. People are fed up with these two-faced celebrities and their dog shit modern audience movies they keep churning out.

 

[s_mirage]

I've tried, but I'm going to bed. Even during my peak interest in film I never got through one of these. Tonight will be no different. It's just so, so, long.

 

[near]

Sean Penn wins best supporting actor, but did not attend the awards.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Honestly, if you didn't find a single good movie this year, you either barely watched anything or your taste is insanely narrow

2025 had plenty of great films

These awards are predictable; it's easy to see where the trend is going...

It's no longer surprising. Besides, their political speeches are getting tiresome; the actors just preach.

Then they play the inclusion game.

All that's missing is for Michael B. Jordan to get an Oscar out of pity.

 

[Grenseal]

Happy to miss it

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

You didn't enjoy a single new movie this year? How many did you watch?

There were a few that I did go to the cinema for... But they were few, the situation is that there are no more memorable films or actors, characters in cinema.

 

[INC]

Weapons wasnt even that good, D+ at best, and completely forgettable

sinners although a decent film, was basically a black from dusk til dawn, just your average horror acrion film, not oscar worthy at all, and im a massive Michael B Jordan fan

 

[ZeroZeroQuatre]

Guess that means "Fuck you Brigitte Bardot", eh.
A disgrace to leave her out of the In Memoriam segment.

Expand your palette a bit, because there's plenty out there.

Predator Badlands got ROBBED

 

[FullMetalx117]

Missed it but looks like a well deserved win from OBAA

 

[near]

Updated OP with the full list of winners.

Not how I would've preferred it to go, but kind of how I expected it to go. At least PTA finally received some appreciation.

Oscars movies are always garbage tier.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Oscars movies are always garbage tier.

Low key the 2000s was a great decade for "Oscar bait" movies, because they tended to add some blockbuster flair and excitement in the mix, though rarely would they actually win, the list of noms, think movies like Gangs of New York, Cold Mountain, Master & Commander, The Last Samurai and The Aviator are all pretty gold.

And if they didn't quite have blockbuster flair, they were at least sexy (Moulin Rouge, Chocolat) or just good dramas like Walk The Line, though oftentimes the actual winner was not the best one, but 2000s Oscar movies tended to hit a nice sweet spot between Oscar bait and something people would actually want to see.

At the end of the decade they were even nominating stuff like The Dark Knight, Avatar and District 9.

 

[YCoCg]

Now an Oscar winning song, bet you feel dumb for dropping K-Pop Demon Hunters and letting Netflix grab it up huh Sony?

 

[EviLore]

Sinners didn't deserve best cinematography. Very conventional. Animated feature a disgrace in terms of nominations, not much to be done there. Overall, fine.

 

[Fbh]

Now an Oscar winning song, bet you feel dumb for dropping K-Pop Demon Hunters and letting Netflix grab it up huh Sony?

Biggest GAAS success --> Helldivers 2 --> Made by a third party dev instead of one of the 40 fucking studios they bought just for this, they'll now publish their next game without Sony.

Biggest animated success --> K Pop Demon Hunters --> Sold the rights to Netflix.


Sony leadership is like:

 

[RickSanchez]

Avatar, a fully computer-generated movie, won best visual effects instead of F1 which actually blended practical set design and real racing action with CGI.

With that, my interest in the oscars drops back down to zero.

 

[RickSanchez]

well deserved win from OBAA

Was it ? I get that the Academy is basically all American and they will like movies that deal with American politics. But for me personally (not living in or never been to America), that movie was......ok ? I enjoyed the action, cinematography and set pieces, but the narrative and themes were foreign to me.

 

[DragoonKain]

I didn't watch it but I looked up all the winners. I thought OBAA was worthy, I liked it a lot. It was in there of my top 5 of the year with Bugonia, Bring Her Back, F1, and Warfare. I didn't think Sinners was nearly as good as other people. I thought it was a well made, well acted, quality movie. But it wasn't groundbreaking or anything. Maybe I'm just not into vampire flicks. that much. I know it was more than that, but I wasn't on the edge of my seat or glued to the screen. Other movies stuck with me more than Sinners.
