filmlover Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 The high amount of previous winners in the first announcement is giving off the impression that they plan to bring back the "5 previous winners present the acting categories" thing they did for the 2008 and 2009 ceremonies. Though they've also been leaning in on reuniting stars many decades later in recent years. Pacino and Pfeiffer are likely presenting together for the Scarface reunion. McConaughey is totally presenting Director for an Interstellar reunion when Nolan wins, isn't he? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Daily Mail got word the other day that Gosling in fact will be performing "I'm Just Ken" but no one else has confirmed it yet. Mark Ronson a few weeks ago said it was "Ryan or no one" so...

McConaughey is totally presenting Director for an Interstellar reunion when Nolan wins, isn't he? Or Best Picture. Would be cool as hell to see Matthew hand that award to Nolan and his wife Emma. I am wondering if last year’s Best Director duo will handle the Director category. They are big Nolan fans and did a recent Q&A thing with him where they said he was a major influence on their filmmaking. The other Best Director guys that would be appropriate are George Lucas, Steve Spielberg, Michael Mann, or Ridley Scott. All of these guys had a big impact on Nolan and I’m sure he would love to be on stage with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas, Spielberg, and Coppola already did a joint presentation for Best Director to Marty for The Departed so I doubt they'll come back for another "coronation" so to speak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) QT should do it 🙂 Hopefully Movie Critic is good enough and Nolan can give the award to QT. Edited February 26 by keysersoze123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 Glenn Close was originally going to present Best Picture last year alongside Ford until she wasn't able to because of COVID. Wondering if they'll make it up to her by inviting her to be the one who gets to hand the Oppenheimer team their award, assuming she'll be available.

Del Toro or Iñárritu would be good ones. I know they are big fans of Nolan & the Oppy film. They’ve both done Q&A stuff with Nolan through the years.

Morieris Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Quote Over the 15 years since that night, Oscar lovers have been begging the Academy to bring back this Field of Dreams-like format. Have we now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 Well, at least we know they truly don't give a crap about not padding the show out. It would be reasonable to assume that part of the reason they're starting an hour earlier than normal this year is because of ABC breathing down their necks to finally end it on time but they're actually debuting a new episode of Abbott Elementary afterwards. Wouldn't be surprised if the crossover has given the cast of that series tickets to the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 At least with this announcement it's back to guessing who will be handing Nolan his award lol. McConaughey is likely doing the BCoop intro since they worked together on Failure to Launch 18 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 The Brutally Honest ballots are back. Brutally Honest Oscar Ballot No. 1: 'Zone of Interest' Is Best Picture, but Nolan Is Best Director (hollywoodreporter.com) My favorite takeaway: Quote I was torn between [Poor Things’] Mark Ruffalo and [Oppenheimer’s] Robert Downey Jr., and even though it’s cheesy I’ll be real with you: I met Downey at an awards season party, we had an interaction that I did not initiate, and it tipped the scales for me. Campaigning matters! (Laughs.) What’s really great about him as an actor, in this film and so many others, is his ability to be believable all the time. I loved watching him turn as the story turned on Strauss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She needs a good campaign machine behind her in a year where she gets nominated for a movie which actually exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
