The 2023 Oscar Winners

everything everywhere all at once
It doesn’t always happen, in fact it’s pretty rare, but every once in a while my movie tastes line up with the Oscars. This just so happens to be one of those years. Everything Everywhere All at Once was easily my favorite movie of 2022 and it won, well, damn near everything. And now we can officially call her Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh, which is pretty fantastic.

The 2023 Oscar Nominees Are Here

The 95th Academy Award nominations are here…and that’s all I really have to say on the matter. Some of these are great and I agree with them. Others, as usual, are absolute head-scratchers. Make of this information what you will.

The 2022 Oscar Winners

So, the Oscars were last night. That happened. As usual, I like some of the choices, hate others, and haven’t seen most of the movie if I’m being honest. I’m sure they’re lovely and as good as people say, but year by year, decreasing exponentially, I find I have less and less interest in the Academy Awards. I’m not trying to sound cool, but there are thousands of other movies I’d rather watch. That’s all.

The 2022 Oscar Nominees Are Here

Hey, the Oscar nominations are here. Aren’t you stoked? Yeah, me neither. A lot of friends get really excited, but increasingly these have become less and less significant to me personally, and this year goes way beyond even my usual indifference. Sure, I’ll watch the telecast, but it’s mostly for the bombast and spectacle rather than any actual investment.

Here Are The 2021 Oscar Winners

Despite the common misconception, a crap-ton of new movies came out in 2020. A global pandemic can’t stop Hollywood, just delay things over and over again. And in that spirit, the 93rd Academy Awards were given out last year and here is a list of the winners.

The 2021 Oscar Nominees Are Here

It’s been quite a year, but that doesn’t mean the Oscars aren’t happening. Sure, the 93rd Academy Awards have been delayed quite a bit, but they’re still happening. As if to prove this point, the nominations came out this morning for those inclined to discuss and dissect.

Here Are The 2020 Oscar Winners


In case you missed it, the Oscars were last night. Hollywood celebrated itself at the 92nd annual Academy Awards and, for the most part, it was fine.

The 2020 Oscar Nominations Are Here


So, the Oscar nominations are here. I’m not trying to sound too cool, but I don’t really care. I barely pay attention the awards in the groups that I vote for, and as usual, the Academy Awards don’t share my particular taste. For the most part, the nominees are safe and expected and what they are.

The 2019 Oscar Winners

Whether you pay much attention to movies or not, you probably know last night was the 91st Academy Awards. Or at least that they handed out the iconic trophies last night, I didn’t know it was year 91 off the top of my head either. It’s a time for Hollywood to pat itself on the back, dish out some Oscars, and supposedly celebrate the best films of the previous year. If you care about such things, find the list of winners below.

The 2018 Academy Award Winners



If you pay attention to movies at all, you probably noticed the Academy Awards happened last night. Love them, hate them, shrug at them, here are the winners.

The 2018 Academy Award Nominations Have Arrived




It’s that time of year, the 2018 Academy Award nominations have arrived. Do with this information what you will. Commence bickering about who should win what, who was snubbed, what film is overrated, and so on and so forth.

The 2016 Oscar Nominations Are In, Make Of Them What You Will


At this point it’s cliché to say I don’t care about the Oscars. I obviously pay attention in an academic way—it’s my job, after all—and for spectacle’s sake, but that’s about as far as my interest really goes. The nominations for this year came out and they play out as you expect.
