Thank you for this great rundown and agree with so much of what you write. The Oscars don’t really interest or excite, compared to Cannes, for example, which still seems to focus on quality and artistry.
The most cinematically and humanely beautiful film for me this year was I’m Still Here, and Fernanda Torres was spectacular. Actually going to see it for a second time.
Thought the The Brutalist was appallingly bad, ugly and pointless on all levels.
Loved Kneecap and surprised it’s completely ignored too.

Of course, rooting big time for Yura Borisov!
