The Oscar Narrative: The End

Okay, let's get this part out of the way. Screw you Will Smith. Screw you (I would use stronger language, but I'll refrain). The big screen was back, a normal Oscar ceremony celebrating films actually happened. Many of the films honored actually played in theaters. Many of them drew audiences back to the theaters. The return to some sort of semblance of normalcy in our culture seemed to be on the horizon. You, your outburst, your unnecessary ridiculousness dominated the headlines this morning, instead of what should have been dominating those headlines.

The Oscars rebounded their ratings. It is still lower than before, but it was a 56% increase from the pandemic ceremony, and as streaming increases, I suspect the numbers will always improve after a few days moving forward. We finally had hosts again, and overall, they were funny, and engaging, and did their job, although I would argue we needed more of them. The first openly queer person of color won an acting award sitting next to her co-star, who won for this role 60 years ago. The first deaf man, and only second deaf actor won an Oscar, and when YJ signed his name, it was one of the most openly heartfelt moments in recent awards history. Jessica Chastain, a hard working actor, finally won her first Oscar for a passion project of a misunderstood icon. Kenneth Branagh finally won an Oscar for his best film. Two female filmmakers, Sian Heder and Jane Campion, won Oscars. Jane Campion became only the third woman to win Best Director, and for the first time ever, we had back to back female winners. Dune, a box office success, won 6 awards. Summer of Soul's win, and Questlove's speech, were a lovely rebound from a dark moment. These are just a few of those great moments. Sure, everything didn't work. Despite cutting the fluff from 8 categories, they still ran 30 minutes over, the In Memoriam segment was just a bit too joyous, the fan voted stuff was ridiculous, and the ratings were still incredibly low for what should be one of the highlights of the year. But that is every major live event. The positives, far outweighed the negatives, and yet all we are talking about at the watercoolers is Will Smith being an ass. This was going to be his night. The first time he won an Oscar for a passion project. He was good in the film. He was deserving of recognition. He ruined that opportunity. The Academy may never invite him back, and they would be right in that decision. 

In the end though, the less I thought about Will Smith, and the more I thought about those positive moments, the darkness of that moment started to fade away. The Oscars are a flawed experience. I have been watching this ceremony for decades now, and have been covering them as a blogger for now 12 years, and they have never gotten it 100% right. You know, the critics, with social media, and so many distractions, are always going to find fault. Unfortunately, the Will Smith moments, help that narrative. I still plead to all those out there that love film, that believe in its magic, that still find hope and love and community in the darkness of the shared moments of the theatrical experience. I plead that they will still care about the Oscars, despite their flaws. Because, at the end of the day, it is not about who wins, and who loses. It is about a celebration of an artform that we love. Maybe CODA will not be remembered as a cinematic classic. It will not be studied in film school and adored by cinephiles. But maybe, just maybe, it is the film that we needed at this moment. After two dark years of our history, with a war whose atrocities have united the Western world, but still remain atrocious, with a looming specter of a fragile democracy at the hands of a political party that seems hell bent on destruction for power, we need hope. CODA is a movie about hope. It is a movie that offends no one, because it unites everyone. It is about diversity, maybe in a way we haven't considered enough. It is about the power of family, the power of love, and again, the power of hope; and we all need that. 

We are entering the unfortunate year thirteen here at The Awards Psychic. I know that this blog is more for me, than for those fans out there, the few and far between. But for those who have stuck it out all these years, thank you. The Oscars will continue to flabbergast, annoy, inspire, and dominate headlines for all the wrong reasons. But those of us who are not in it for the glory, are not in it because our favorite film always wins, but who are in it for the love of film, The Oscars will continue to dominate our collective conversation. Thank you for joining me again for another Oscar narrative. Today the story ends. I hate this day, I hate the void, and the quiet. At least I know that another season is always on the horizon, and I hope you continue to join me for the ride.

The Oscar Narrative: Final Predictions - Best Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress

Best Actor

Will Win - Will Smith "King Richard"

Could Win - Benedict Cumberbatch "The Power of the Dog" or Andrew Garfield "tick, tick...boom!"

Should Win - Smith or Garfield

Commentary - Cumberbatch seemed like a lock to win the BAFTA. When Will Smith won there, I knew it was over. Smith as swept the major precursors, has star power, has been campaigning with the Williams' sisters, and has hit the point in his career where recognition is deserved. 

Best Actress

Will Win - Jessica Chastain "The Eyes of Tammy Faye"

Could Win - Penelope Cruz "Parallel Mothers", Olivia Colman "The Lost Daughter", or Kristen Stewart "Stewart"

Should Win - Chastain

Commentary - Penelope Cruz is peaking at the right minute, and there is a lot of passionate support for her performance. Kristen Stewart has a lot of support too, and neither her nor Cruz were nominated at SAG, so this race is completely different than every other major precursor. Colman has never won an individual SAG Award, and still managed an Oscar and an Emmy. She is just so popular, and has upset before. But there seems to be a lot of momentum for Jessica Chastain, and the story of how she got this film made is inspiring. It is a tight race though and anything could happen.

Best Supporting Actor

Will Win- Troy Kotsur "CODA"

Could Win - Kodi Smit-McPhee "The Power of the Dog"

Should Win - Kotsur

Commentary - Kotsur has swept the major precursors, and is the heart and soul of CODA, which is now a major Best Picture contender. He wins in a walk. 

Best Supporting Actress

Will Win - Ariana DeBose "West Side Story"

Could Win - Aunjanue Ellis "King Richard" or Kirsten Dunst "The Power of the Dog"

Should Win - DeBose or Ellis

Commentary - Ariana DeBose has now swept all the big awards, is playing a character that won her co-star an Oscar, and she breathes new life into an iconic role. Again, like Kotsur, she wins in a walk. 

The Oscar Narrative: Final Predictions - Best Picture and Best Director

Best Picture

Will Win - CODA

Should Win - Drive My Car or Dune

Could Win - The Power of the Dog

Commentary - If I were a voting member, the haunting Drive My Car and the epic Dune would top my ballot. But alas, this feels like a battle between the Goliath of The Power of the Dog and the David of CODA. When I finally set down and watched The Power of the Dog, I immediately wondered about its chances on the preferential ballot. But then it won the DGA, got 12 nominations, and it truly felt like a front runner. My initial suspicions were correct as CODA, the feel good favorite that makes you stand up and cheer, won the SAG and the PGA. The Power of the Dog is clearly a film with a lot of detractors, which hurts it in this voting system, and it is hard to root against the power of CODA's message. I think it wins in an upset that turns out might not be as surprising as we thought. 

Best Director

Will Win - Jane Campion "The Power of the Dog"

Should Win - Jane Campion "The Power of the Dog"

Could Win - Kenneth Branagh "Belfast"

Commentary - Jane Campion is winning this in a lock. She has won every major award, and her work in The Power of the Dog is worthy.

The Oscar Narrative: Final Predictions - Best Adapted Screenplay, Original Screenplay, Animated Feature, Documentary Feature, and International Feature

Best Adapted Screenplay

Will Win - Sian Heder "CODA"

Could Win - Jane Campion "The Power of the Dog" or Maggie Gyllenhaal "The Lost Daughter"

Should Win - Ryûsuke Hamaguchi and Takamasa Oe "Drive My Car"

Commentary - I really thought that there would be a BAFTA/WGA split, because The Power of the Dog was not eligible. But then CODA won both, and that was a huge victory at BAFTA. Plus it looks like CODA could end up winning Best Picture. If it wins here, it could be a sign of how the night will unfold. 

Best Original Screenplay

Will Win - Paul Thomas Anderson "Licorice Pizza"

Could Win - Adam McKay and David Sirota "Don't Look Up" or Kenneth Branagh "Belfast"

Should Win - Paul Thomas Anderson "Licorice Pizza"

Commentary - A lot of folks are still banking on Kenneth Branagh, my pick for a long time. But if he cannot win over his home crowd at BAFTA, I don't know if he can pull it off with the American Academy. Don't Look Up has a lot of support, and it won the WGA, a surprise for a lot of people. But BAFTA, the big broad consensus vote went for Paul Thomas Anderson for Licorice Pizza. This is a close race to watch, but I think PTA finally wins his Oscar.

Best Animated Feature

Will Win - Encanto

Could Win - The Mitchells vs. The Machines or Flee

Should Win - The Mitchells vs. The Machines or Flee

Commentary - Encanto missed at the Annie Awards, which was interesting. But it has won almost every other major precursor that matters. I think it is a lock. 

Best Documentary Feature

Will Win - Summer of Soul (Or When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)

Could Win - Flee

Should Win - Flee or Summer of Soul

Commentary - A tough vote, with two amazing films nominated. But Summer of Soul has won the most major precursors, even winning over BAFTA voters. I think it pulls it out in a tighter than expected race. 

Best International Feature

Will Win - Drive My Car

Could Win - The Worst Person in the World

Should Win - Drive My Car

Commentary - The only nominee that is also a Best Picture nominee? Drive My Car. Should win in a walk.  

The Oscar Narrative: Final Predictions - Best Cinematography, Costume Design, Film Editing, Makeup and Hairstyling, Production Design, and Visual Effects

Best Cinematography

Will Win - Greig Fraser "Dune"

Could Win - Ari Wegner "The Power of the Dog"

Should Win - Greig Fraser "Dune"

Commentary - This category stumped me last year. But this year, BAFTA and ASC matched up. The visuals of Dune are too extraordinary to deny. The Power of the Dog is the potential upset, but this is Fraser's to lose.

Best Costume Design

Will Win - Cruella

Could Win - Dune

Should Win - Cruella

Commentary - Cruella won the BAFTA, the CDG, and, being a movie about fashion, has the kind of big and bold costumes that voters love. But I am getting Mad Max vibes from Dune, who won this award, which felt odd in the pantheon of winners (ironically it was Jenny Beavan for Mad Max, who did the costumes for Cruella). So watch out for Dune, which also won the CDG, and could be a tech awards juggernaut.

Best Film Editing

Will Win - Dune

Could Win - The Power of the Dog or King Richard

Should Win - tick, tick...boom!

Commentary - The inclusion of tick, tick...boom! was so nice to see, and even though I know it won't win, the nomination is an excellent choice. King Richard won the ACE Eddie in a surprise, and The Power of the Dog is a big Best Picture contender. BAFTA went for No Time to Die, which does not help us. I feel like this is a repeat of the Gravity year, where it won neither of the major precursors, but was the technical juggernaut. This race could end in a surprise (I wouldn't even discount Don't Look Up), but I am predicting Dune to eke out the victory. 

Best Makeup and Hairstyling

Will Win - The Eyes of Tammy Faye

Could Win - Dune or Cruella

Should Win - The Eyes of Tammy Faye

Commentary - Dune is the science fiction contender, which often prevails, and Cruella has the high fashion angle, which is popular for voters. But this category often lines up with a biopic Best Actor/Actress winner. Think The Iron Lady and Darkest Hour. Jessica Chastain has rocketed to the top of the Best Actress race, and the makeup work to recreate the iconic Tammy Faye look was remarkable. It also won the BAFTA. I think it wins here in a tough race. 

Best Production Design

Will Win - Dune

Could Win - Nightmare Alley or West Side Story

Should Win - West Side Story

Commentary - The more traditional set designs of Nightmare Alley and West Side Story were fantastic, and if there is an upset here with one of those films, it would not surprise me. They are both bold, vibrant, and historical, which is often popular here. But, Dune won BAFTA, won its ADG category, and we have seen the connection between cinematography, visual effects, and production design. But watch out. This is a race where spoilers could easily upset, and it is not as locked in as people are predicting. 

Best Visual Effects

Will Win - Dune

Could Win - Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

Should Win - Dune

Commentary - Duh.

The Oscar Narrative: Final Predictions - Original Score, Original Song, Sound, and Shorts

Best Original Score

Will Win - Hans Zimmer "Dune"

Could Win - Jonny Greenwood "The Power of the Dog"

Should Win - Hans Zimmer "Dune"

Commentary - Hans Zimmer immersive score for Dune has been the front runner for a long time now, and after winning the BAFTA, the one major precursor with crossover, it feels like it is a lock at this point. But Jonny Greenwood had a lot of great scores this year, and The Power of the Dog is still a major Oscar contender. Greenwood is the spoiler, but this is Zimmer's to lose.

Best Original Song

Will Win - Encanto - Dos Oruguitas

Could Win - No Time to Die - No Time to Die

Should Win - King Richard - Be Alive

Commentary - Everyone is picking No Time to Die, and it is probably the smart pick. Bond themes do well here, its Billie Eilish, and the song is solid. They voted for that horrendous Sam Smith song, and this one is ten times better. But I am predicting that an upset is brewing. While We Don't Talk About Bruno was not submitted, the music for Encanto is wildly popular. The soundtrack has racked up sales, and it is Lin-Manuel Miranda, who has two major films this year. I might change before final prediction, but I have a sneaking submission that Encanto might rule the day.

Best Sound

Will Win - Dune

Could Win - West Side Story

Should Win - Dune

Commentary - Musicals have done well in this category in the past, so West Side Story is a potential upset. But Dune's sound work is jaw-dropping, and it won BAFTA and the CAS. I think it wins, as part of its Mad Mad-esque mini-sweep of the tech categories. 

Best Animated Short

Will Win - Robin Robin

Could Win - Boxballet and The Windshield Wiper

Best Documentary Short

Will Win - The Queen of Basketball

Could Win - Three Songs for Benazir or Lead Me Home

Best Live Action Short

Will Win - The Long Goodbye

Could Win - On My Mind or Ala Kachuu: Take and Run

The 12th Annual Awards Psychic Award Winners

Best Picture - Drama

Winner - Drive My Car 

Runners Up - The Power of the Dog, C'mon C'mon, CODA, The Hand of God,King Richard, and The Card Counter

Commentary - After a weird pandemic year, this year's Oscar race and film landscape is so much more robust. This category is so stacked with films I loved or respected. The Power of the Dog might win the Best Picture Oscar, and it is a film that I truly respected and was fascinated by (I didn't love it, not one I would re-watch over and over again). C'mon C'mon is an underrated gem of a film, The Card Counter was another fascinating watch, King Richard and CODA made your heart beat, and The Hand of God was an emotional and beautiful autobiographical story. But only one film has lingered on my mind continuously, and that is Ryusuke Hamaguchi's Drive My Car. The first two hours of this slow build of a film were interesting, beautifully shot, but not much happens substantively in terms of the plot. But this is done on purpose, and with incredible skill. Hamaguchi is slowly building these characters, slowly drawing you into their world, only to completely drop your jaw. This film was a gut punch at the end, and it's final haunting hour left me staring at the screen long after the final credits. For those of us who have had profound loss in their life, particularly the loss of loved ones, and particularly the ones with whom we had complicated relationships, this film is one of the most honest, haunting, and profoundly authentic portrayals of grief. It explores the many phases of grief, the many twists and turns it does on our emotional state. The term masterpiece gets thrown around a lot, and often it is an over exaggeration. I don't know if Drive My Car is a masterpiece, but I do know that it is easily one of the best films of the year, and will not be forgotten by film lovers anytime soon. 

Best Picture - Comedy/Musical

Winner - tick, tick, boom!

Runners Up - In the Heights, Licorice Pizza, Shiva Baby, and West Side Story

Commentary - This was a banner year for musicals. In the Heights was a hell of a good time and West Side Story was a much-needed update from the master Steven Spielberg. While I loved those moves, (as well as comedies Licorice Pizza and Shiva Baby, both fantastic), my favorite of the bunch was easily Lin-Manuel Miranda's directorial debut, tick, tick...boom! An infectious and reverential ode to one of Broadway's greatest minds who was taken too soon, this adaptation of Jonathan Larson's autobiographical musical is such a beautiful film to watch. Andrew Garfield's lead performance is mesmerizing, the music is soaring, the production top notch. It is a film for theater geeks, which is maybe why it has not had the same awards success as West Side Story. But for those of us who consider ourselves a member of the group, this film is exactly why we love Broadway musicals. A winning debut that demands to be seen. 

Best Picture Action/Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror

Winner - Dune

Runners Up - The Green Knight, No Time to Tie, Titane

Commentary - The un-filmable novel. Frank Herbert's Dune for years was considered un-filmable, and the previous try was always used as the proof of this claim. But if anyone could tackle the mythology, the visuals, and the quiet doom of this science fiction masterpiece it was Denis Villeneuve, whose style on Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 served as templates. He knocked it out of the park. It was engaging, brilliantly cast, and its visuals and sound work were jaw-dropping. It's success has spawned a sequel, and maybe even more, proving that in the hands of Denis Villeneuve, Dune is un-filmable no more. 

Best Picture - Animated

Winner - The Mitchells vs. The Machines

Runners Up - Encanto and Flee

Commentary - Encanto was great, and I am honoring Flee elsewhere (see below). At the end of this Oscar season though, my favorite of the bunch is still The Mitchells vs. The Machines. It was a rollicking good time, chocked full of great action set pieces, laugh out loud humor, a great voice cast, and a memorable and a surprisingly deep story. Pure entertainment joy at its finest. 

Best Picture - Documentary

Winners - (TIE) Flee and Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)

Runner Up - The Rescue

Commentary - Two of the most mesmerizing films I had the pleasure of watching this year were remarkable documentaries. I loved them both so much, I could not reward just one. Flee is a haunting, and brilliant use of animation to tell a hard and necessary story of an LGBTQ immigrant, and his harrowing story of escape. Most importantly, it is the story of repressed memory, and how the past could always derail the present and the future. Brilliant, groundbreaking, and inclusive, Flee is a masterpiece. Another masterpiece also emerged in the nonfiction filmmaking world this year. Questlove, one of my favorite musicians from one of my favorite bands The Roots, directed, for the first time, a brilliant ode to a forgotten festival celebrating black culture, music, and pride. With brilliant restored archival footage, and interviews with concert goers and musicians, Quest takes the traditional documentary style, and elevates it with energy, with cultural relevance, and with what is clearly a love and respect for the subject matter. Neither of these works should be missed. 

Best Director

Winner - Jane Campion "The Power of the Dog"

Runner Up - Ryûsuke Hamaguchi "Drive My Car", Denis Villeneuve "Dune", Jonas Poher Rasmussen "Flee", Questlove “Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)”, and Paul Thomas Anderson "Licorice Pizza"

Commentary - A tough category this year, and ultimately, I went with a film that I did not love, but I completely respected as a film. That's hard, to distinguish between love and respect, but when I think about the director that best executed their vision, no one beats Jane Campion this year. This is why she is probably winning the Best Director Oscar next weekend. The control, the beautiful visuals, the slow build and the complete trust she had in her actors, show why she, despite only making a few films over her career, is a master of film, and one of our finest directors. 

Best Actor - Drama

Winner - Will Smith "King Richard"

Runners Up - Nicholas Cage “Pig”, Benedict Cumberbatch "The Power of the Dog", Joaquin Phoenix "C'mon C'mon"

Commentary - Will Smith has been a lot of things. He was a successful rapper, sitcom star, action star, and eventually a bona fide film icon. Will Smith is one of those actors that does not mind making a third Bad Boys movie (actually a pretty decent film), and then turn around and make something like King Richard. Some actors are stars, some actors are talented, Will Smith is both. This year, he put his heart and soul into a project to portray Richard Williams, a often controversial public figure who happened to be one of the driving forces behind Venus and Serena Williams. Smith is fantastic in the role. He brings so much to this, and worked with the Williams family to make sure it was authentic, honest, and reverential. King Richard is all of those things, because of Will Smith. If he wins next weekend, it will be a well-deserved honor for not only this performance, but for a thirty-year career that has been a pleasure to follow. 

Best Actress - Drama

Winner - Jessica Chastain "The Eyes of Tammy Faye"

Runners Up - Penelope Cruz "Parallel Mothers", Emilia Jones "CODA", Mary Twala “This is Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection"

Commentary - Another tough category. Cruz is fantastic, Jones is a bright new star, and Mary Twala is a legend whose loss is hard. But, I grew up, and still live, outside of Charlotte, NC, and like many of my friends and family, we are well acquainted with Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. Tammy Faye was one of those people, that despite a lot of controversy, had a lot of love in her heart, even if that love clashed with the hardline conservative beliefs of the evangelical movement. Jessica Chastain understood that legacy, especially her legacy of love towards the gay community, and her desire to help AIDS victims. She brilliantly captures the mannerisms, the style, the voice, but most importantly, Chastain found the heart of Tammy Faye, the good and the bad, and gave her the big-screen treatment that she deserved. It was a remarkable and reverential performance. 

Best Actor - Comedy/Musical

Winner - Andrew Garfield "tick, tick...boom!"

Runners Up - Leonardo DiCaprio "Don't Look Up", Peter Dinklage "Cyrano", Anthony Ramos “In the Heights”

Commentary - Jonathan Larson was a larger-than-life legend, and Andrew Garfield (who knew he could sing!) brilliantly captures Larson's energy, his devotion, his passion, and his pain. It was an incredible, and surprising performance that proves that Garfield is one of our finest actors, and that he truly is a chameleon of a performer who cannot ever be underestimated. 

Best Actress - Comedy/Musical

Winner - Rachel Sennott “Shiva Baby”

Runners Up - Alana Haim "Licorice Pizza", Patti Harrison “Together Together”, , and Rachel Zegler "West Side Story"

Commentary - Shiva Baby, a top ten film for me this year, was a film that I loved. It was so awkward, so funny, so honest, and managed to make its point for no money, better than some of the bigger films did this year. Emma Seligman's script and claustrophobic direction are pitch-perfect, but it is Rachel Sennott's brilliant lead turn that brings the entire project together. She plays a flawed, funny, relatable character balancing out love, lust, family obligation, Jewish tradition, and death in a high-wire balancing act that would stump a lesser actor. Clearly Sennott is an incredible talent, who proved that she does not need to be ignored. 

Best Supporting Actor

Winner - Troy Kotsur "CODA"

Runners Up - Mike Faist "West Side Story" and Kodi Smit-McPhee "The Power of the Dog"

Commentary - CODA is such a heart-warming experience, and yet not super cheesy, because the warmth and the love are so honest on screen. Troy Kotsur, a hard-working character actor, finally gets his big break, and his role as the dad in this film is jaw-dropping, heart-breaking, and is the performance this year that makes you stand up and cheer. This is why he is most likely going to be Oscar Winner Troy Kotsur in a week. A honor that is well-deserved. 

Best Supporting Actress

Winner - Ariana DeBose "West Side Story"

Runners Up - Aunjanue Ellis "King Richard" and Kirsten Dunst "The Power of the Dog"

Commentary - I really did like West Side Story, much better than the original. Although I will say, that my favorite part of the original is Rita Moreno. I think she is everybody's favorite part. So Ariana DeBose had a herculean  task of tackling a role that won one of our most iconic actors her Academy Award, a role that was beloved by so many. Damn if she didn't knock it out of the park. Working with Rita Moreno in the ensemble, DeBose brought her own energy, her own take on the role, while still maintaining the heart and soul of Moreno's performance. It was a stunning performance, and when she wins the Oscar next week, she will continue the tradition of her mentor of breaking down barriers, and dazzling the world.

Best Ensemble

Winner - West Side Story

Runners Up - Belfast, The French Dispatch, The Harder They Fall, 

Commentary - Spielberg and his team did an excellent job of blending legends with beloved veterans and fantastic new talent. This ensemble, top to bottom, made West Side Story such a stirring film experience. 

Best Voice Acting/Motion Capture Performance

Winner - Stephanie Beatriz "Encanto"

Runners Up - Abbi Jacobson "The Mitchells vs. The Machines", Awkwafina "Raya and the Last Dragon", and Danny McBride "The Mitchells vs. The Machines"

Commentary - I love Stephanie Beatriz, an actor on one of my favorite television shows, Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Her performance as Mirabel is so key to the film's successes. With just her voice, she rings the anxiety, the hope, and the emotion to an incredibly emotional story. A deeply felt and quietly brilliant voice performance. 

Best Adapted Screenplay

Winner - Ryusuke Hamaguchi and Takamasa Oe "Drive My Car"

Runners Up - Sian Heder "CODA", Jon Spaihts, Denis Villenueve, and Eric Roth "Dune", and Jane Campion "The Power of the Dog"

Commentary - See Best Picture - Drama

Best Original Screenplay

Winner - (TIE) Mike Mills "C'mon C'mon" and Paul Thomas Anderson "Licorice Pizza"

Runners Up - Emma Seligman “Shiva Baby” and Michael Rianda, Jeff Rowe, and Alex Hirsch “The Mitchells vs. The Machines”

Commentary - PTA is getting a lot of praise for his nostalgic, funny, and warm Licorice Pizza. That praise is deserved, and while many may not fully understand the story, those who do understand PTA's brilliance as a screenwriter. But I also thought that C'mon C'mon was a film that unceremoniously was left out of many of the top awards this year. Mike Mills' script was so heartwarming, funny, honest, and brilliantly captured this quiet and sweet relationship between an uncle and a nephew that was just a joy to watch.

Best Cinematography

Winner - Greig Fraser "Dune"

Runners Up - Ari Wegner "The Power of the Dog", Bruno Delbonnel "The Tragedy of Macbeth", and Janusz Kaminski "West Side Story"

Commentary - Duh.

Best Visual Effects

Winner - Dune

Runners Up - The Matrix Resurrections, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Spider-Man: Far From Home

Commentary - Double Duh. 

Worst Film of the Year

Loser - Dear Evan Hansen

Runners Up - Chaos Walking, SAS: Red Notice, Thunder Force

Commentary - Pasek and Paul, Tony-Award winning musical, starring legends like Julianne Moore and Amy Adams. Dear Evan Hansen should have been a slam dunk of a film, joining the legion of great musical adaptations that soared on the screen this year. While the music is still fantastic, the rest of this hot mess of a film could only be labeled a disaster. From the casting issues that led to questionable makeup design, to the manipulative and odd structuring of the story, to the the just downright poorly plotted story twists, this film just never got off the ground. It might not technically be the worst film of the year (did anyone even try to sit through SAS: Red Notice?), but it earns this distinction because it had every opportunity to be a decent film, and it wasted every single one of them.
