Oscar nominations are out

And apparently I really need to get to watching The Power Of The Dog. 

So, just hitting on the big categories. And whatever else.

Best Picture: Ten films. Licorice Pizza is by far my favorite of the 10. Beyond that I would rank them West Side Story, King Richard, Dune, Belfast, Nightmare Alley, Don't Look Up. How the hell did that last one get in? 
I haven't seen Dog Power, Coda, or Drive My Car.

Best Director: PTA in a runaway. Spielberg has been nominated in 6 different decades. This is how I realized that I have been alive in 6 different decades. 🤯

Best Actor: C'mon give it to Will Smith. Andrew Garfield getting in there makes me happy. 

Best Actress: Yay Kristen! Yay Penelope! Yay Jessica! Now watch them give it to frickin Kidman.

Best Supporting Actor: Only ones I have seen of the 5 so far are Hinds and Simmons. In my heart Andrew Garfield wins this for Spiderman. 

Best Supporting Actress: Just give this to Ariana Dubose.and call it a day. 

Best Original Screenplay: Cool to see The Worst Person In The World in there, but I'm rooting for PTA. 

Best Adapted Screenplay: Dune is literally the only one of the 5 I have seen, and I didn't think the screenplay was that great tbh. 

Coming 2 America got an Oscar nomination. Eternals somehow did not get nominated for fx. Billie Eilish's Bond song got nominated. 

No Lady Gaga. No Jared Leto....THANK GOD! Nothing for In The Heights, The Last Duel, C'mon C'mon or The Harder They Fall.

Message Board Classics: 2004 NFL Season

Preseason kickoff post (and other posts): Oh yes, it IS that time again. Training camps are open. The first preseason games are less than a week away. Players are already being idiots. It's the best time of the sports year. It is not yet the time for predictions, but I'll hit on some of the big recent stories. Ricky Williams retires. Well, we know now he did so cuz he was gonna be suspended for using marijuana. He's a little shit as far as I'm concerned. You do not abandon your team when he did. He had every right to retire, but do it at least before the draft. He's left the Dolphins with zero chance of making the playoffs. They couldn't go get Eddie George or Antowain Smith, nor could they draft a RB. The Cowboys cut Quincy Carter. I spent all offseason pleading with Dallas to go get a QB like Warner or Collins or Garcia. Instead they fail to upgrade, and now take a step back. Vinny is 80 years old and has little if anything left. My prediction is that Drew Hen...

Awful NFL season ends with awful Super Bowl

BUCCANEERS 31 CHIEFS 9 The 2020 NFL season is over. Thank god! A season that was almost across the board unenjoyable, and felt empty and largely felt manipulated, ended with the worst outcome imaginable. With a result that not only continues this 20 year nightmare but that will frankly hurt the NFL for years to come. I was not looking forward to this game. I knew this was going to happen. Maybe not in blowout fashion but I knew the NFL was going to see to it that Tom Brady got his 7th title. The house wins. The game was never fun. Right from the start the Chiefs seemed sleepy, like they weren't really in it. This team plays with swagger, but in this game they had none. Patrick Mahomes was under enormous pressure from the start. The Chiefs grabbed the 1st lead at 3-0 but then from basically the end of the 1st quarter until halftime it was a nightmare. The Chiefs offense remained lifeless. The Chiefs defense did manage a goal line stand that at the moment seemed like it could be a tu...
