@oskari71218 months ago Hit Man just got picked up by Netflix, they are gonna push that for sure. 7
@

@sciencecafe15438 months ago I think Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer both have a great shot. They're both long films but nothing else this year seems to stand out like them. I doubt Barbie will win, especially now that I made over a billion dollars (according to Grace Randolph, the Academy doesn't like to give Best Picture to billion dollar films since they already have the prize of making so much money). Downey Jr. has an excellent shot for supporting actor. ... 6
@

@nyctophilex78 months ago My Best Picture predictions (not my favourite 10 movies of the year):
1. Oppenheimer
2. Poor Things
3. Killers of the Flower Moon
4. Past Lives
5. The Holdovers
6. Barbie
7. Anatomy of a Fall
8. American Fiction
9. Maestro
10. The Color Purple
Edit: I watched the whole video, I'd say you only missed to mention American Fiction (as it won the TIFF award). I don't count Sing as it would most likely be left for the next year (where I think it would be nominated for sure). ... 10

@

@OrionInSpace8 months ago Austin the more I think about it the more I feel I might be more incline to be happy that Dune 2 will be up for the Oscars next year. There's just so much competition this year. So many good and great films that it would be hard for them all to compete.😅 ... 13
@

@Rollercoasterhq8 months ago Oppenheimer might be the next movie to win over 10 Oscar’s, up there with titanic and lord of the rings 3
@

@Dormtoons8 months ago My top 10
1. Oppenheimer
2. Poor Things
/>3. The Holdovers
4. Killers of the Flower Moon
5. Barbie
6. Past Lives
7. Anatomy of a Fall
8. Spider Man: Across the Spiderverse (At this point it’s more a risk, if I have to take this off I’d put in All of Us Strangers)
9. The Color Purple
10. Maestro
I genuinely don’t think American Fiction is cracking best picture, Ik it won TIFF but I don’t see it happening because I don’t think Jeffrey Wright is getting in for Best Actor ... 3
@

@joser18538 months ago Saw Poor Things at Venice. Literally felt the same way I did when I saw Parasite, and EEAO... it has to win BP! For my top 3 this decade, and a masterpiece. 16

1. Oppenheimer
2. Killers of the Flower Moon
3. Poor Things
4. Past Lives
5. Barbie
6. The Holdovers
7. Spider-Man: Across the SpiderVerse (I hope it doesn’t get snubbed since it’s my favorite film of the year so far and I hope the buzz stays strong throughout awards season. Really want an animated film to get in for Picture since Toy Story 3.)

9. Anatomy of a Fall
10. American Fiction (Just joined the predictions after winning People’s Choice and buzz around Jeffrey Wright.) ... 11

@

@Mirrori8 months ago The Zone of Intrest was really fantastic.
Beautifully haunting and devastating in a unique way.
Some great absurdity.
I really hope it gets couple Oscar nominations also outside of international feature.
I'm also seeing Poor Things this thursday.
I'm so hyped. ... 5

@

@theyhateandrew85298 months ago Poor Things would be the most fun pick 3
@

@btetschner8 months ago Epic video!
It is like a drama for an actor making predictions!
@

@mannymattina37928 months ago Honestly, it's easy to predict that Barbenheimer will dominate the night, here's my prediction for the night:
Oppenheimer will win 9 oscars on 14 nominations, winning for
Best Picture
Best Director
Best Actor: Cillian Murphy
Best Supporting Actor: Robert Downey Jr.
Best Original Score
Best Sound
Best Cinematography
Best Film Editing
Best Visual Effects
Barbie will win 5 oscars on 9 nominations and will win for
Best Original Screenplay
Best Production Design
Best Original Song: I'm Just Ken
Best Costume Design
Best Makeup and Hairstyling
Other than that I predict Killers of the Flower Moon will win for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress for Lily Gladstone, Emma Stone will win her second Oscar for Poor Things, and Spiderverse will win Best Animated feature. The remaining awards I'm not sure about. Either way, the next awards will certainly be interesting. ... 2

@_mcneill__8 months ago The Winnie the Pooh joke had me cracking up!!! 2
@

@brijanwilson18888 months ago Hit Man is really a romantic comedy. There's not much action or suspense but you're definitely invested in the story. 1
@

@moviesandmusic50558 months ago Yeah...I believe it's a 3 picture race between Poor things,killers of the flower moon and Oppenheimer....I've only Seen 1 as well 1
@

@kaizen20498 months ago I hope bottoms & theater camp gets some love, they're absolutely wonderful 1
@

@thatmovienitpicker80708 months ago The Oscar’s doesn’t respect animation 😭😭😭 5
@

@nathanboatright2368 months ago I liked barbie but when it comes to the Oscars I can see it being an top gun maverick or way of water where the award is the nomination. My money is on either Oppenheimer or killers of the flower moon. 1
@

@btetschner8 months ago Best Picture Predictions, can't wait to see this!
@

@hw59328 months ago I loved Air too. Hope it gets some noms 1
@

@mgariepy428 months ago Team Oppenheimer for 10 noms: picture, director, adapted screenplay (wow what a job Nolan did adapting this book, just wow), actor,supporting actors (who will they pick from a half dozen? I’m with RDJ to even win), visual effects (with no cgi crutch!), sound, score, editing, and costume design. Out on a limb but winning: picture and director, supporting actor, sound and editing. Wishful thinking for win, Cillian Murphy. But apparently Academy doesn’t go for Irish actors. I give you last year’s best performance by an actor in a leading role, Colin Farrell. ... 1
@

@AndreFernandesMovies8 months ago I agree with pretty much everything except Barbie is not on my list, but I guess that's just my personal taste, since a lot of people seemed to love the movie. 9
@

@CryptidPlays_8 months ago Literally right after watching this video, news broke out that Netflix has acquired the rights to Hit Man 3

Edit: American Fiction won TIFF and those movies almost always get nominated for Best Picture. ... 9
@

@ThePatman19808 months ago The Creator and Rebel Moon might surprise us all at the end. I'm hearing from Sean Chandler that The Creator is the one to watch. Heck, Wonka might be really good. 2
@

@rg18097 months ago Oppenheimer was far and away the best film I saw this year, and in quite a few years. Killers of the Flower Moon, uh, not so much. 1
@

@gocinema2528 months ago I would be on the lookout for American Fiction, after that won TIFF People’s Choice and the great reviews, I think it’s looking good. 1
@

@jedparker28558 months ago My predictions for Best Picture are Air, Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, May December, Oppenheimer, Past Lives, Poor Things, The Color Purple, and The Holdovers.
@

@joshhuntermovies8 months ago I agree with most of this, but I would be willing to bet money on Spider-Verse getting a best picture nom. It obvi wont win, but if it gets screenplay, animation, score (and maybe VFX) it absolutely will most likely get picture ... 1

@

@gsentertainment86048 months ago I think we can all agree Dune moving might be the best thing for it. A genuinely great year for movies. So much competiton. Moreover, historically speaking, years following the best ones don't usually overperform. 1995 after 1994. 2015 after 2014. 2020 after 2019 ... 1

@d.k.bondad67208 months ago Very surprised not to see American Fiction on your list!
@

@diegoleonelreyes8 months ago I want to see gran turismo to win an award 1
@

@aaronjanlistanco8 months ago Oppenheimer I'm sure lock in for Picture nominations and more.. but win for Picture I don't think so.. technical sure wins.. cons why because it didn't premieres at film festivals 1
@

@sp94598 months ago As my favorite movie never wins best picture Oppenheimer (my favorite by far) won’t win 😭 I would predict poor things or killers of the flower moon. I’m excited to watch both and Maestro 1
@

@SuperMoviespot8 months ago I’ve seen Poor Things and it’s absolutely incredible!! By far Lanthimos’s funniest and most accessible, technically stunning, and heartfelt film to date. You’re going to love it, Austin! 2
@

@muhammadsandheere51018 months ago hit man over zone of interest, now that is bold
@

@marcochen91178 months ago I always thought how Maestro's nose situation being made a big deal is so bogus
@

@ThePatman19808 months ago The Bikeriders. Tom Hardy and Austin Butler can really act. Goodfellas meets Easy Rider / Sons of Anarchy. Might upset Oppenheimer and KotFM. No love for Ridley Scott's Napoleon? He did win Best Pic for Gladiator. Emma Stone doing graphic nude scenes in Poor Things. ... 1
@

@matthewkauerauf18868 months ago I have American Fiction over Hit Man but otherwise this is my exact list. Just took out Across the Spider-Verse for American Fiction yesterday
@

@StaticBlaster8 months ago I stopped caring about the Oscars years ago. A lot of times the best picture is a movie unworthy of the win. It's pretty much a high school assembly or popularity contest for movies. 1
@

@LAMusing8 months ago I have a lot to see. But as of now my 10:
1. Poor Things
2. Oppenheimer
3. Killers of the Flower Moon
4. Barbie
5. The Holdovers
6. Maestro
7. American Fiction
8. The Color Purple
9. Saltburn (divisive so whether it stays depends on general audience reaction & box office)
10. Past Lives OR Anatomy of a Fall (depending on Anatomy theatrical roll out)
On the edge: Zone of Interest, All of Us Strangers ... 1

@FreddyKrueger7448 months ago I want Spider-Man across the spider verse to get nominated & win best picture. 6

Actually quite love your channel and the way you resent yourself. Full of confidence.

Talking about movie reviews and predictions I hope you can give more cure of hoe critics see the trend as you are a member of Critics Choice.
Your beard has grown moreluxuriant. Haha, just kidding.😂 ...

@youssefzeineddine24888 months ago Why is no one talking about Asteroid City? Is it bad?
@

@johnpoffenbarger51038 months ago And the Academy Award for Best Picture goes to...Five Nights at Freddy's 🤣🤣🤣 1
@

@deenaprice15248 months ago Scorsese and Ridley are both better at drama than Nolan. Christopher does action well because of his dedication to visual presentation. His storytelling doesn't always connect. So, even though I haven't seen Killers of the Flower Moon or Napoleon yet, I'm still giving them the edge. Lanthimos only made one movie I liked, and that is The Favourite. So I'm guessing he went back to weird, unrelatable cinema with this one. ...
@

@stevenxu60808 months ago Maybe American Fiction will get a nomination of best picture.
@

@seangossin48728 months ago will 2023 go down as one of the best years ever for movies? There is too many good movies coming out this year that I won't be able to watch them all
@

@TheCatIndeed8 months ago My prediction is that Barbie is practically a lock for winning Screenplay. When you think of many other years, the best picture nomination that wins a Screenplay award is typically the funniest. Dead Poets Society, Juno, and Little Miss Sunshine are all examples of this. It also has a lot of commentary, another great thing to get your movie the screenplay Oscar. Examples of that are American Beauty, Brokeback Mountain, and Parasite. So, basically the two things in a script that win you an Oscar are both in this movie. That seems like pretty good reasoning to predict it for the award. ...
@

@johnnolan55798 months ago I really think Poor Things is the front runner. Oppenheimer was good, but the third act is a bit of a drag for most people. Poor Things is getting total raves. I get a feeling we may see a split vote between director and picture. Christopher Nolan may win director, but the film isn't going to win Best Picture. ... 4
@

@tandxm29838 months ago Netflix made sure to wait until after Austin released his video to announce buying the rights to HIT MAN. 😂😂
@

@stevenanderson94308 months ago Best picture
Pooh blood and honey 2.
The Meg 2
Strays
Oppenheimer 1
@

@neilvarma8 months ago We can say for sure it won’t be the best movie of the year 1
@

@khoohockleong75858 months ago Poor Things woud remind The Academy so much of the weirdness of The Favourite and Emma Stone was in The Favourite also. Also The Favourite has some human element in it of the queen being a lustfu lesbian as opposed to Poor Things which tak about how the ack of the human element which leads to the unsuccessful of things if one were just yo apply pure technoogy.
This also looks so much like a grankenstein movie of the 30s. The Academy yhese days want artistry vombine with the human emotion.
Neither the picture or Emma Stone woud win although both may get nominated. ...
@

@misjathecinemalover8 months ago I agree with most here, but I don’t think Saltburn is even close to a nomination. I hear someone drinks someone else’s bathwater where someone just…lets say they gave themself pleasure… which uhm- 😟
@

@bethd14808 months ago I believe the reason Oppenheimer will not win best picture is because I don't think the Academy likes Christopher Nolan and I can't see in this year with so many great performances, that any of the actress in it will be nominated, he doesn't do women characters very well. I think they will have a couple of the men nominated.
Poor Things, I think will depend on how the public likes it, I think it may be one that critics just love, but the general public, not so much.
I think sometimes they just nominate popular movies like Barbie, just to say that they do nominate popular films, but in the top 100 grossing pictures of all time, only two are Best Picture winners, Titanic and Lord Of The Rings. ...
@

@ryanhopkins52398 months ago Even people who have seen Hit man dont think its an Oscar player and they liked it.
@

@BenJanzen8 months ago Correction - Killers of the Flower Moon is OVER 3 hours long
@

@moviesaregood77988 months ago Took you long enough to do Oscar predictions lol 1
@

@brijanwilson18888 months ago Of these I've seen Hit Man, Spider-Man, Priscilla, Anatomy of a Fall, Poor Things, Barbie and Oppenheimer. Hit Man, Priscilla and Spider-Man will miss Best Picture in my opinion but the others are definitely locked in. 1
@

@aaronjanlistanco8 months ago I think Poor Things is now the biggest and front runner for Oscars 2024 Best Picture and now my second is Barbie 1
@

@Sharkman428 months ago Saw Oppenheimer for the 3rd time yesterday. Yeah, it ain't gonna win
