Another year, another Oscars. 2023 ended up being a pretty great movie year when looking back, there was a lot to celebrate. However, I can’t say that the Oscars ceremony will be very exciting this year as Oppenheimer is primed to sweep. But if you read on, you will see my personal picks for the Oscars this year.

They believe he is their savior, meanwhile, Paul is being pressured by his family to take down the Harkonnens, who killed his father.

2023 was quite the year for Hollywood. Most of Hollywood went on strike for half of the year, Disney had a bunch of box office bombs, and of course, a meme caused one of the most profitable double features in history with Barbenheimer. Hopefully, Hollywood will reevaluate the film space and realize that people want more original films. There were a lot of great films this year, but also a lot of slop that people got tired of such as superhero films.

It is now 2024, a new year to get excited about new movies. On this list, I am leaving out Dune Part 2 and Challengers since I mentioned them on last year’s list. They were both pushed back due to the writer’s and actor’s strike earlier in 2023. Don’t get me wrong, I am very excited about both movies. Dune Part 2 is actually my most anticipated film of 2024, but I wanted to spotlight some other films for this year. It should go without saying that some of these films may also be pushed back.

It’s Oscar season again, with the ceremony being just a few days away. I must admit that this year’s Oscars are hard to predict, especially when it comes to the acting categories. The best Support Actress category frontrunners are Kerry Condon vs Jaime Lee Curtis vs Angela Bassett. The best actor category is Austin Butler vs Brendan Fraser vs Colin Farrell. And the best actress category winner is Michelle Yeoh vs Cate Blanchett. Other than that though, Everything Everywhere All At Once is looking like it will sweep.
Here is a link to all of this year’s nominations: https://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/2023. I still have not seen Avatar: The Way of Water or Triangle of Sadness yet and it is unlikely that I will see them before the ceremony.
If you want to know, the biggest snub I’m upset about this year is that Decision to Leave was not nominated at all.
