Livestream Of 97th Oscars Nominations
The livestream for this year’s Academy Awards nominations is below, and it’ll begin at 5:30 a.m. here in California, assuming L.A. hasn’t completely burned to the ground by then. Multiple fires burning through tens of thousands of acres were raging as of right now, about six hours before the livestream is supposed to start, so it’ll be weird to see cheery hosts and PR people clapping and cheering while the city burns around them. Then again, this is Hollywood, where everyone is completely fucking delusional, so I’m sure the “show will go on” either way.
I’ll hopefully be asleep at 5:30 a.m., but I’ll check back to see who’s been nominated later in the morning after I’ve had my coffee and taken my dog out to pee. The livestream:
Hopefully The Substance, the best movie of 2024, will be up not just for actress, picture, director, screenplay, and makeup, but also supporting actress, production design, and editing. For wild card predictions, I’d love to see Civil War and Challengers snag multiple noms, too.
Update: Emilia PĂ©rez has a leading 13 noms, but it’s also the stupidest movie of the year, if not the decade, so I guess the Academy is doing what they normally do. Completely clueless morons. This is the same group who awarded Green Book, Coda, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Crash, so we shouldn’t be surprised by their idiocy. List of snubs and surprises here, which includes Challengers getting zero noms. Not even Best Original Score. Disgraceful. If I were an Academy member, I’d be embarrassed and ashamed to be seen in public, but then again, these assholes have no shame.
