My choices for 2024 "bugger" (Oscar)

 

This is how I would award 2024 Oscars. The real winners are in pink. 

1. Best picture -- Barbie (second or third best grossing movie in history deserves this once) 

2. Best director -- Bradley Cooper

3. Best actress in a leading role -- Emma Stone or Hellen Mirren

4. Best actor in a leading role -- Bradley Cooper ? 

5. Best actress in a supporting role -- Carey Mulligan 

6. Best actor in a supporting role -- Robert Downey Jr. 

7. Best animation feature -- Heron by Miyazaki 

8. Best animation short -- Letter to a Pig 

Yorgos Lanthimos. Kind of kindness.

     

     If there are method actors, there must be method directors. Lanthimos' method is obviously throwing everything on the wall and see what sticks. Sometime, he succeeds. Mostly, he misses.
