Just as long as it isn't a war movie remake.

I only care about The Oscars because it means another On Cinema Oscar Special. I might have to do another marathon leading up to it.

The correct choice is Tar. That’s a masterpiece. They will give it to EEOAO because it’s a fun light feel good movie.

But the real movie is Tar.

Were there a lot of visual effects in Top Gun: Maverick? It seems odd that it got a nomination for that. I thought it's whole deal was that everything was practical.

lots lots of special effects. The fact that you dont notice them is a testament on how good they are.

I'll give my international feature vote to The Quiet Girl (Ireland)

Jorge · **Posted:** Fri March 10, 2023 5:02 pm

As much as I like Argentina 1985, it's wild that they didn't nominate Decision to Leave. It would've gotten my vote for International and also Editing

Good point about Top Gun's visual effects but I'd give that to Avatar 2

yeah, Avatar 2 is groundbreaking to say the least. I picked TP2 because i loved how they integrated them.

To be fair, I've yet to see Argentina 1985 or Close.

I feel Arg 1985 is fine, but its main strength its the theme, which the oscars just love it
