Oh, did the statute of limitations finally end?

She accepted that she lost. He won't tolerate that.

Based on what happened with Ayelet Zurer after the retool, I think they're trying to keep as much of the original cast as is willing/available.

Concluding Oscar picks:

MAKEUP & HAIR: Toss-up between #Nosferatu & #Wicked. (Sorry, Substance, but Margaret Qualley did NOT look like young Demi Moore.)

VISUAL EFFECTS: Better Man & Planet of the Apes split the chimp vote. I'll say #AlienRomulus since it's not up for anything else.

11/11

Continuing #2025AMPAS predictions:

PRODUCTION DESIGN: If it's not #Wicked, then why are we even here?

CINEMATOGRAPHY: The #Nosferatu trailer really impressed me, but #Dune 2 has a real shot at this one also.

COSTUME: This category was *made* for films like #GladiatorII.

10/11

Still picking #AcademyAwards2025:

EDITING: Elephino. I'll toss it to #Conclave just because I haven't picked it for anything else.

SOUND: Gonna say #TheWildRobot because I expect it to get snubbed on Animated Feature.

9/11

More #2025AcademyAwards picks:

INTERNATIONAL: Easily #EmiliaPerez, since it's up for Best Picture too. #JacquesAudiart

LIVE SHORT: The premise of #I'mNotARobot tickles me pink, but it'll more likely be "A Lien" (not sure how to hashtag that).

8/11

Still guessing @theacademyusa.bsky.social picks...

DOC FEATURE: Toss-up between #NoOtherLand & #PorcelainWar (Just like in Best Picture, I'm DQing Sugarcane for not having nominee names yet.)

DOC SHORT: Toss-up between #DeathByNumbers & #Incident.

7/11

More #AMPAS2025 guesses...

ANIMATED FEATURE: *Should* be #TheWildRobot ( #ChrisSanders #JeffHermann), likely *will* be #InsideOut2 ( #KelseyMann #MarkNielsen).

ANIMATED SHORT: #WanderToWonder has the best synopsis. ( #NinaGantz #StienetteBosklopper)

6/11

Even more @academyawards.bsky.social predictions...

SCORE: Clearly Wicked, since it can't get Song. #JohnPowell #StephenSchwartz

SONG: Emilia Perez split its votes & @eltonjohnofficial.bsky.social is retiring. It's going to #NeverTooLate. @brandicarlile.bsky.social #BernieTaupin #AndrewWatt

5/11

More #AcademyAwards predictions:

SUPPORTING ACTOR: Toss-up, either @kieran-culkin.bsky.social ( #ARealPain) or @ed-norton.bsky.social.

SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Toss-up, either #ArianaGrande or #ZoeSaldaña.
(I wonder if anyone else puts enyays in hashtags?)

4/11

#2025Oscars predictions con't:

ACTOR: #SebastianStan for reaming Agent Orange in #TheApprenticeMovie.

ACTRESS: Tricky one this year. #DemiMoore is the favorite, but I want #CynthiaErivo, but #MikeyMadison (for #Anora) could spoil.

3/11

#Oscars2025 predictions continued:

ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: #TheSubstance seems to have the most to actually say, but AMPAS might choose to reward #TheBrutalist in the only category they know for sure had no AI.

ADAPTED SCREENPLAY: #SingSing, because I think it's a cool story.

For anyone who may be new to the MCU blog: I liveblog each entry *in character as* someone watching the whole franchise for the 1st time, in chronological order. (In actuality, all the shows released pre-2020 & all the movies are rewatches; only the new shows are genuine blind reactions.)
