Can I join if I only have watched like 5 movies available in the questions file or its mandatory to have watched everything ? i guess I can watch some animation movie this week if I have time, but not sure I can fill all the questions.
Why no C'mon C'mon and Passing nowhere ?

Yeah probably, I enjoyed it despite the lenght, but it was not my fave ( a lot of predictable moments imo, but I liked the most the theater related scenes and the driver scenes ), I really really loved Passing and Summer of soul but yeah got it, it's not about my faves but predictions.
Maybe you will have to sacrifice 30% of your 20-30 or so animes you're watching weekly
Not worriying for you, I know you have the power to stretch time !
I'm pretty sure if anything they'd be eligible for next year, something to do with releases and such.
It's actually a terrifying and nitpicky process you know, having your film be eligible for the Oscars. Terrible.
Yeah, saw some people saying "Oh they'll just give me the nod/award for Dune Part 2". He really deserved it, especially cringe to not give him the nom when the film got like 11 nominations, like bruh.
Belfast does not deserve to be on there at all, I'm somewhat expecting 0 wins, Denis should've taken Branagh's place there for sure.
I might watch Coda just for the sake of it, but I definitely intend to see The Tragedy of Macbeth before the Oscars, and that should be about it.
Really have no clue yet on what my final picks will be although I already did a mock-up, guess we'll see.
But to be honest with you guys, I don't see myself watching the whole ceremony like I used to. Last year's (or was it the year before?) was just too much cringe for me to take, I can't do it anymore. And with everything going on in the world right now, you already know what most speeches will be about.

She was briliant, and she was radiating so much sweetness. I m surprised she's not eligible in supporting role btw. I liked the performance of the driver too, love her expressions and her gloomy eyes.
I also find Villeneuve snubbed. He filmed the unfilmable sci-fi classic. Even if the film has it's flaws.
I get the feeling Spielberg is there just because he is Spielberg. Branaugh is likely there as sort of an career nod and respect for such a personal film by him.

So yeah, I haven't seen that many of the films this year. Not any of the "good ones" anyway. I've seen all the special effects category films and all animations with the exception of Flee.
Dune was a premiere flick for me, saw it on release day and even paid for the fancier cinema, for fancier seats and hot food to be waiting by my seat right as I arrived. I wanted the experience to be perfect in every manner. Unfortunately, it completely wasn't. While still obviously a great film and achievement, it had it's flaws. Namely the ending and some characterizations. That said, considering how notoriously complex and difficult the original text is, Villeuneuve and the writing team did amazing.
Other than that's I've seen just King Richard and Don't Look Up. I liked both films. Smith is a total front runner for best actor for good reasons. While star-stuffed and extremely topical and funny, Don't Look Up was far a way from a perfect film and was structurally a bit of a mess. Still high recommendation for the sake of the topic and the ability to write satire in the world, where it's sometimes very hard to tell if you are reading and actual news or an article from the Onion.

And oh yes, saw Cruella as well. The worst film I have seen in a long time. The hair&make-up and costuming nods are acceptable though.
I think other than looking "nice" it was mostly empty and a bit disconnected from all else.
Music was extremely overused as well, it's like the intent was on painting a picture very reminiscent of those times but then everything else ends up in the background.
I didn't have a bad time watching it or anything like that, it's fine for a one-time watch, but in my opinion there's no way it deserves to be nominated. Cinematography, maybe, but directing/film of the year?
We already have 6 entries (one I know that was incomplete and will be edited later). As per tradition, one of them isn't an excising Mangahelpers username.
The results look interesting this far. For example, we seem certain that the best director is between two people. Also our bet for the best film isn't a one that sits on top of predicion lists of betting offices or media outlets. The short subject categories seem perfect in their new tie breaker role, as in the best short documentary all 5 votes are on all 5 films.
To provide some content as a host this year, I'll try to make my guesses daily, one or two at a time. As I've said, I have by no means seen a lot of these films, so take everything with a grain of salt. I'll start with an easy one:
Best Visual Effects:
Will win: Dune Should win: Dune Could Win: Dune, No Time to Die
Definitely the easiest category to guess. Dune is simply spectacular. Majority of the bunch (Spiderman, Shang-Chi, Free Guy) is kinda standard modern action CGI, which is good, but nothing special. Spiderman has the extra value on the de-age effects on some of the older actors, but that gimmick is already kind of passé. Dune outshines all of them with it's sublime art direction and perfect execution of the effects, which build the whole world of the film. No Time to Die has tiny chance of an "upset win". That's due to it's ambitious practical effects in action sequences as well as the use of the subtle CGI that viewer doesn't even realize while watching. Still, this should be a shoo in for Dune, and the films only certain Oscar.

Speaking of which, Florence Pugh has been cast as Princess Irulan in Dune Part 2.
