Nominations went up a couple days ago.
The ceremony is on March 10th.

Of the nominated films, I've seen:
--Barbie (Picture, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Adapted Screenplay, Song x2, Production Design, Costume)
--Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Animated Feature)
--Nimona (Animated Feature)
--Indiana Jones & the Dial of Destiny (Score)
--Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 (Visual Effects)

My predictions:
Spoiler.
Best Picture: it *should* be Barbie so Robbie would get something, but AMPAS hates comedies, so Killers of the Flower Moon.
Director: Christopher Nolan.
Actor: Paul Giamatti, but I could also see Jeffrey Wright dark-horsing it.
Actress: coin flip between Lily Gladstone & Emma Stone; either choice will...rock.
Supporting Actor: hometown hero Sterling K. Brown!
Supporting Actress: America Ferrera, to make up for Margot Robbie being snubbed.
Original Screenplay: The Holdovers, just because of all the buzz.
Adapted Screenplay: Barbie so Gerwig would get something.
International Feature: Wim Wenders is still alive!? then obviously Perfect Days.
Live Action Short: Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar
Animated Feature: coin toss between Boy & the Heron or Across the Spider-Verse.
Animated Short: War Is Over
Documentary Feature: 20 Days in Mariupol
Documentary Short: The Last Repair Shop
Score: Killers of the Flower Moon, RIP Robbie Robertson
Song: 2 nominations from Barbie splits their vote, so probably "Wahzhazhe".
Sound: Mission Impossible, because sound mixing is historically Nolan's biggest weakness.
Film Editing: Oppenheimer
Cinematography: Poor Things
Production Design: Barbie
Costume Design: They'll probably toss Napoleon this bone, but it should be almost any of others (except Oppenheimer; men's suits have been nearly unchanged for over a century).
Visual Effects: Guardians 3 or we riot.
Makeup & Hair: probably Oppenheimer, but should be Poor Things.
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

The Oscar's are a joke now, but I think the ratings will be good this year for the off-chance that we get another spectacular meme moment.

I haven't seen any of the Best Animated nominees aside from 'Nimona' and 'Elemental', of which 'Nimona' is far superior. I wouldn't particularly mind if 'Nimona' lost to something else, but if it loses to 'Elemental', I'm going to be livid. It'd be the gotdang 'Finding Nemo' thing all over again.

Got 9/23 right.
--Nailed it: Director, Actress, Animated Feature, Animated Short, Live Short, Doc Feature, Doc Short, Film Editing, Makeup/Hair
--Failed it: Picture, Actor, Supp Actor, Supp Actress, Original Screenplay, Adapted Screenplay, International Feature (good speech though), Score, Song, Sound, Cinematography, Production Design, Costume Design (thank goodness!), Visual Effects (I'm genuinely annoyed about this).

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

No nomination for Mario, that's pretty crazy.

...hmm. Well, I'm definitely interested in the other animated nominees. Don't particularly care about most of the others.

Oh hey, Wes Anderson won an Oscar. Good for him. I'd have thought it'd be for 'Grand Budapest Hotel' or 'Royal Tenenbaums' or something, but whatevs.
