Oscars (pre) Summary, honest!

even though this year i really did manage to see all of the best picture contenders with weeks to spare, somehow i forgot to put down my ranks before tonight’s ceremony:

  1. Sinners - so good
  2. One Battle After Another
  3. Hamnet - you could penalize it for using child loss grief, but i feel that actually turning it into artistic drive was really wonderful and powerful. and Jessie Buckley was amazing
  4. Bugonia - i didn’t realize until now that this was a remake of the Korean film “Save the Green Planet!” which allegedly i have seen but of which i have no recollection; i guess time to (re)watch
  5. Marty Supreme - all these Safdie movies where a guy is running on the brink of disaster just stress me out
  6. Sentimental Value
  7. Train Dreams
  8. Secret Agent
  9. F1
  10. Frankenstein - ugh it looks like i’m in a video game
