Oh it’s back for 2024! And once again, I’ve only seen one movie that’s been nominated so will be closing my eyes and picking at random haha! 

haha, I know the feeling @Grace I hope the Academy are better clued up than me and don’t just put “Oppenheimer” for everything as it’s the only one they’ve seen :P 

Interested to know what the true movie nerds on here think @Liz @john.desborough @Darnell @Gabi Amaral @suzieq 

Ohh how fun! I’ve seen maybe 30% of these movies so I’d like to think I made some fairly informed choices myself  @James I don’t think putting Oppenheimer for everything is a bad strategy, it likely will win almost everything 

I started watching all of the Oscar films recently! I’m about halfway through them so I’m going to vote when I’ve seen them all ha.  @James does the form close at a certain point? Or just at Oscar time? 

@suzieq out of interest would you put Oppenheimer as number one based on the 30% you’ve seen? I know you were a big fan of Barbie (which I saw half of until my eyes closed).

@Liz the form itself should be live until Oscars night but if you can get your predictions in pronto (i.e. today!) then it’ll give us the chance to reveal what the Community vibe is around who’s names are on the Oscars before the big night!

@James Oppenheimer is not my #1 personal choice, but based on industry chatter (cuz you know, I’m totally part of the filmmaking industry as Typeform’s video editor) I would say Oppie is what most people’s money is on. I loved Barbie of course, but I was also pleasantly surprised by Poor Things. So bascially, I have no idea how to critique films other than, I liked this one more than that one so it should win. 

@James @Grace - my daughter made me pick Barbie as much as i could.. but The Holdovers is my sleeper pick for a few prizes… including Paul G.

@john.desborough Barbie is the only one I’ve seen, and as tempting as it was to pick it to win everything, I think it’s going to get beaten by Oppenheimer and Poor Things. And probably some of the others too 

I hope it wins best song for I’m Just Ken, that was a musical triumph! 

@suzieq  @john.desborough @Grace I’ll be interested to see what the Academy thinks about Barbie, I think it could be one of those where it either sweeps up or gets nothing. I really must watch the second half. In fact, I’ll be happy to organize a Community “watch party” of that or any of the others 

Voted!!! FYI I’m predicting Oppie takes home 8 Academy Awards:

1. Best Picture
2. Best Director
3. Best Cinematography
4. Best Actor
5. Best Supporting Actor
6. Best Sound
7. Best Editing
8. Best Score

“What Was I Made For?” for Best Original Song was also amongst my predictions.

Ooh I am intrigued to see how we’ve collectively voted and how well we do with our predictions...

@Darnell I think you did pretty well in your predictions!!

I slept through it all of course but I’ve enjoyed catching up on Ken’s outstanding performance!

@Grace, yes, from the ones I listed, I got Best Sound wrong!

So you slept through it!? Hahaha, it’s crazy that the Oscars put you to sleep.

And yes, that was an outstanding Ken performance!

lol @Darnell I didn’t even try to stay awake, far too late on a Sunday night for me! (Think it started around midnight my time) 

Thanks for sharing the results @James !

Hey for a group of people that didn’t watch most of the films, we did pretty well! I put the majority of our success down to @Darnell 

@Grace  and it was actually the less cringy, most watchable Oscars in a long while, ha!
