Here is our Oscars Open Post, hosted by two of the last movie stars around, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. I know Clive mostly works in television these days, but he’s still got the rizz of a movie star. And Julia, love her or hate her, also has an abundance of movie-star rizz. This weekend, Julia received an honorary Cesar Award for her decades of work. Clive Owen presented her with the award, because they’re good friends in real life and they’ve worked together a few times. This means we probably won’t see either of them at the Oscars!
Anyway, my big prediction for tonight’s Oscars is that we’re going to see some major shocks in the big categories. If the supporting categories go how everyone thinks they will – with Kieran Culkin and Zoe Saldana picking up their first Oscars – that will mean some “surprises” in the lead categories. I don’t even think there’s a consensus pick for director or Best Picture, so stay tuned. While this has been a wacky awards season, I also get the sense that people aren’t tuning in, and most people haven’t even seen most of the nominated films. It’s like that some years where there isn’t a populist favorite or a tentpole awards-darling.
CB & I will be updating this Open Post with the major-category winners and we’ll probably post anything interesting happening during the show. We’ll also be on social media. My Twitter (@KaiseratCB) is here and my BlueSky (@kaiseratcb.bsky.social) is here. You can follow CB on Twitter here, and on BlueSky here. We’ll post on both platforms tonight, as we have done throughout this year.
