    Also, really annoyed that a small amount of searching didn't yield a gif of Josh Brolin yelling, "Molto panakaiku!"

    I'm glad Michael Keaton won. I think it's cool that an actor who I've never thought of as particularly great can turn out such an amazing performance. I was rooting for him at the Oscars, though I didn't expect him to win. I felt the same way about Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler.

    Yeah, pretty much. I'll chalk it up mostly to low turnout, but there really were some strong nominees.

    Thanks for putting this together, Lazlo! I appreciate the effort and time you took compiling everything...

    Impressive that UtS took the best film upset. After everything else went to Anderson's film, I was very much expecting that one to take it all.

    A lot of the imagery from Glazer's film remain quite vivid in my mind. Interesting that this is the most non-narrative MC selection since Malick's Tree of Life. And the choice to compile this later in the year gave some of the other films an interesting chance.

    Biggest loss for me is Ida's non-win of the best supporting actress. Agata Kulesza killed it. Interesting that Linklater's film didn't do better to, in many respects.

    Yeah, thanks for doing this, Lazlo. Great job.

    I'm tempted to open a thread now to collect everybody's top ten list, and do the top 20 countdown. I'd like to see how that would look now, this late in the year, with the Matchies results to compare it to.
    Giving up in 2020. Who cares.

    Fiennes was robbed. I can't think of anything closer in contemporary cinema to 1930s Cary Grant.
    Just because...
    The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
    Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    The last book I read was...
    The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain

    Cool to see Under the Skin take it (and Boyhood not take it). Definitely my favorite of the nominees.
    I am impatient of all misery in others that is not mad. Thou should'st go mad, blacksmith; say, why dost thou not go mad? How can'st thou endure without being mad? Do the heavens yet hate thee, that thou can'st not go mad?
