Movies Oscar's Contest 2022

[Riku]

Trying to forget the on-stage drama and focus the drama on the screen, let's just say that now a lot of people will learn after googling what CODA stands for, and that is a good thing. A safe film might have won the biggest award, but one with good intentions and warm heart. I'm very tired, and I really hope I counted these right. I'll link the sheet at the end of the post, so anyone can re-check.

Now let's see who won our Oscar!

At 3rd place with 17 points - was me, Riku.

At shared 2nd place with 18 points are @Organizized @goldb and @PhillyG ​

Congratulations, well done, but just not quite well enough. The second place could have gone to user @phipps13 with 19 points, but since that nick doesn't exist, too bad. (Contact me, Riku, if you have have misspelt your nick or something and I just didn't find it)

But now a reveal, that for me is the real best part of this years Oscars. After so many close calls this mysterious DiCaprio of Mangahelpers finally takes the prize that is much deserved and has been a long time coming. Dear people,

The 1st place with 20 points goes to the one and only, the legend @George Monkey


Congratulations!

​

The point score is shared with user @Dnanni1, but since that is once again a non-nick, it is ignore (contact me, Riku, if there has been a mistake of some sorts)

All scores​

 

[Riku]

Liked Eilish' performance

 

[Organizized]

Welp, Editing was always one of my risky picks (King Richard), should've played safe after all.

 

[Riku]

Saw Nightmare Alley btw the other day, and I'm so confused why it is in the best film category

Wow. This Will Smith and Chris Rock situation going to be the main headline of the awards tomorrow

 

[Organizized]

Yo what the fuck

 

[Riku]

I feel Smith here, I could be pissed as well. But that was just.. wow.

Then they cut of and now Smith is just laughing. This is weird.

Oh, that's an iconic stage trio.

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 28, 2022 ---

Now Will Smith has to win. For the drama! The scandal!

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 28, 2022 ---

I wonder if the stopped the broadcast to add Chris Rock on the In Memorial list.

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 28, 2022 ---

Aww, Murray giving a speech for Reitman

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 28, 2022 ---

Michael K. Williams :'(

 

[Organizized]

Totally get Will too. That was an awful joke from Chris.

Swedish broadcast keeps cutting out, first during Questlove's speech and now right before the Director category.

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 28, 2022, Original Post Date: Mar 28, 2022 ---

Okay we're back.

 

[Riku]

Same here. They say it's from the original american source, not their end here.

 

[Eigengrau]

What the fuck

 

[Organizized]

Well, I liked Will's speech though it went on for a bit.

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 28, 2022, Original Post Date: Mar 28, 2022 ---

Here's my other risky pick, actually went with Penelope here though Jessica would be the safe pick... fingers crossed.

 

[Faust]

Jessica Chastain!

 

[Riku]

I think Smiths speech was good. He is getting a lot of shit on it from social media, but I think it's colored by what happened. The speech itself is pretty good. Though long.

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 28, 2022, Original Post Date: Mar 28, 2022 ---

So it did slide to CODA after all.

 

[Faust]

So who won the prediction contest?

Is it @George Monkey's year?

I couldn't do a live count because some mistakes happened and I got confused by the awards that were given before the show. I got so left behind with the count, that I felt like missing the show. I'll start counting now, but I do have a strong hunch who won.

 

[Faust]

Orgy probably won again.

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 28, 2022, Original Post Date: Mar 28, 2022 ---

AppleTV+ winning Best Picture

 

[Organizized]

I missed Editing since I thought Dune might miss one of its predicted categories. And also missed Actress even though Chastain swept all the precursors, because I thought the Academy wouldn't wanna be boring and give all the Acting awards to the main frontrunners. Also Animated Short but that's just a tie-breaker anyway here.

Overall no surprises, all winners felt like very safe picks I think.

 

[Faust]

Idk man.

I actually preferred last year's Best Picture nominee that tackled hearing disability struggle; Sound of Metal more than CODA

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 28, 2022, Original Post Date: Mar 28, 2022 ---

Still no Oscar for PTA.

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 28, 2022 ---

4th Oscar for Orgy?

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 28, 2022 ---

 

[Organizized]

Most of the show was kinda tame, just like last couple of years I stayed up to watch. The Smith/Rock altercation was definitely the most exciting moment, lol. Glad to see Coda sweep its three categories too.

Glad I don't have work today, at least.

Still no Oscar for PTA.

He does deserve an Oscar... but not for Licorice Pizza.

 

[Faust]

I liked Licorice Pizza more than CODA.

CODA is just an above average flick for me.

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 28, 2022, Original Post Date: Mar 28, 2022 ---

I predicted Belfast to win.

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 28, 2022 ---

Didn't even know that CODA was a remake til today XD

 

[Imperium]

That must be staged otherwise it's just assault. Like who cares if its your wife or if she doesn't like the joke. Absolute moron.

I am leaning to it being staged though, that was a wild mood swing.

 

[Organizized]

CODA was pretty cliche and all but it was cliche done well. Definitely can see how someone will look at it and go "Best Picture winner? How?", but I watched it before it was expected to win a single thing and without expectations and I liked it a lot.

Flee should have won something though. I really liked Summer of Soul, Drive My Car and Encanto but I'd have wanted it to beat one of them tbh.
