    Messaged with my three Best Pic picks!

    And very happy with the nominations in general, especially since apparently my choices were consensus enough that every category includes multiple nominations of my own. Special shout-out to both Original and Adapted Screenplay for being my exact nominations replicated! (With the exception of my Cold War nom missing in Original since only four nominations made the cut.)

    If you want to impact the Best Picture nominees, sent me a private message by 12:00 pm PST/3:00 pm EST listing your three top films from the shortlist above, in order of preference. Voting is still very tight, so it's safe to say that any further votes will make a big difference. This category is really all over the map in terms of support. Thanks to those who have already messaged me.

    Here are your final Best Picture nominees ...

    Cold War
    The Favourite
    If Beale Street Could Talk
    The Rider
    Roma
    You Were Never Really Here


    I will edit them in above. If your favorite did not make the cut, be assured that it was most likely by the slimmest of margins. I wouldn't be shocked if we have to do another run-off to determine a winner after the votes are in.

    OK, I will now accept votes via private message in order to preserve suspense. However, do consider holding off on your vote if there are nominated films that you may have a chance to see in the next couple of weeks. After the awards are revealed, I will share everyone's ballot. Deadline will be Sunday, March 24th at 5:00 pm PST/8:00 pm EST.

    If you would like to help present awards, please copy/paste the following into a post below and put your user name next to the awards you want to present. Sign up for as many as you want. Take the whole list if you really want to. I'll send you the winners once the votes are tallied:

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I still say "First Reformed" for original screenplay is category fraud.
    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

    The (New) World
