this year i have seen nine of the bolded 10 best picture nominees haven t seen killers of the flower moon and i don t really intend to five of the nine we saw on streaming either amazon prime or netflix best picture american fiction anatomy of a fall barbie the holdovers killers of the flower moon maestro oppenheimer past lives poor things the zone of interest i have been a christopher nolan fan boy since his film memento broke my brain in the early 2000s i literally listen to the soundtrack of either interstellar inception or the dark knight on every single flight i take i am very psyched that oppenheimer led the nominations this year with13 poor things close behind with 11 and very confident this will be his year to win picture and director should win oppenheimer will win oppenheimer director justine triet anatomy of a fall martin scorsese killers of the flower moon christopher nolan oppenheimer yorgos lanthimos poor things jonathan glazer the zone of interest if this award was for most directing than lanthimos would win for poor things but nolan won the dga and there is a critial consensus his time has come he s actually overdue in my mind should win christopher nolan oppenheimer will win christopher nolan oppenheimer lead actor bradley cooper maestro colman domingo rustin paul giamatti the holdovers cillian murphy oppenheimer jeffrey wright american fiction it is a very rare occasion when there are two black men in the best actor race and they are both very deserving to be here albeit at veru different stages of their career i wish i could say one of them is going to win but cillian murphy is pretty much a lock this year having won most of the precursor awards that matter golden globe and sag that being said if i had a vote i would vote for jeffrey wright as a career appreciation award with giamatti a close behind the performance that i thought was the most amazing was bradley cooper s he completely inhabits the role of leonard bernstein and your forget that cooper is playing the role should win jeffrey wright american fiction or bradley cooper maestro will win cillian murphy oppenheimer lead actress annette bening nyad lily gladstone killers of the flower moon sandra hüller anatomy of a fall carey mulligan maestro emma stone poor things only emma stone has won an oscar before and she is the frontrunner for her revelator performance in poor things but does she really belong in the pantheon of double best actress winners like katharine hepburn 4 meryl streep 2 j odie foster 2 sally field 2 and frances mcdormand 3 i have my doubts this is why i think they lily gladstone will win as the first native american winner one year after oscar crowned the first asian american winner however if i was voting i would give it to hüller whom i had never seen before this year and who is absolutely stunning in two european films this year that are noinated for best picture the zone of interest and anatomy of a fall should win sandra huller anatomy of a fall will win lily gladstone killers of the flower moon supporting actor sterling k brown american fiction robert deniro killers of he flower moon robert downey jr oppenheimer ryan gosling barbie mark ruffalo poor things here deniro has of course won oscars before including in this category and been nominated a total of 9 times this is sterling k brown s first oscar nomination but he has won 3 emmy awards the frontrunner is downey and he is a key reason why oppenheimer works so well despite its 3 hour running time ruffalo is devouring the scenery in poor things and going against his type as an affable guy but if i was voting i would vote for gosling s ken without which barbie would not be as effective at all should win ryan gosling barbie will win robert downey jr oppenheimer supporting actress emily blunt oppenheimerr danielle brooks the color purple america ferrera barbie jodie foster nyad da vine joy randolph the holdovers again very psyched to see two black actors in the same category this time one of them is the rontrunner randolp has won most of the precursor awards and she is one of the best things about the holdovers without her it would have been basically been a tv movie should win da vine joy randolph the holdovers will win da vine joy randolph the holdovers adapted screenplay american fiction written for the screen by cord jefferson barbie written by greta gerwig and noah baumbach oppenheimer written for the screen by christopher nolan poor things screenplay bytony mcnamara the zone of interest written by jonathan glazer this is one category oppenheimer is definitely going to lose because nolan is definitely going to win director and there s no reason to give him three oscars since he will lamost certainly win best picture as well american fiction is the standout here although if oscar voters may want to make sure that the creative force behind the billion dollar barbie movie gets some recognition this is their prime opportunity to do so should win american fiction will win barbie original screenplay anatomy of a fall screenplay by justine triet and arthur harari the holdovers written by david hemingson maestro written by bradley cooper and josh singer may december screenplay by samy burch story by samy burch and alex mechanik past lives written by celine song i love when directors are also screenwiters and in this case past lives anatomy of a fall and maestro fit the bill i didn t see may december but intended to and still do but in my opinion the strongest of the bunch is anatomy of a fall it looks like it must be based on prior material but it s a completely original idea very well executed by triet who becomes one of the few women in oscar history to be nominated for directing should win anatomy of a fall will win anatomy of a fall posted by ron buckmire at 3 10 2024 03 01 00 pm 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels academy award christopher nolan cillian murphy emily blunt hollywood oppenheimer oscars prediction robert downey jr thursday january 25 2024 book review yellowface by r f kuang yellowface is another literary blockbuster success written by r f kuang the author of the hugo award winning speculative fiction masterpiece babel or the necessity of violence an arcane history of the oxford translators revolution see my review and the poppy war trilogy yellowface won the goodreads choice award for best fiction in 2023 demonstrating kuang s widening appeal and increasing acclaim to the general public even before she has completed graduate school yellowface is a story about writing writers and the never ending struggle between art and commerce kuang is especially skilled at selecting topics for her books that are likely to resonate with a significant segment of the book reading and book buying public babel is focused on the importance and nuance of words etymological knowledge becomes a source of technological power through the application of fantastical magic unsurprisingly the premise that the meaning and backgrounds of words themselves could be the central aspect of a plot was irresistible to many reader and literary critics alike in yellowface kuang goes even further by centering the story around literary ambition itself another thing that both readers and critics have in common many readers and most if not all critics have harbored secret thoughts of literary success another key ingredient of yellowface is its self conception as an expose an insider s view of the book industry itself this is of course another subject that both readers and critics would find irresistible to consume yellowface is about two friends colleagues rivals who have a lot of similarities but whose level of success and career trajectories when we meet them at the beginning of the book are very dissimilar juniper june song is the primary protagonist whose first person perspective we get throughout the novel while athena liu is her frenemy friend enemy who seems to effortlessly outshine june in every way that matters athena and june are both young authors who have written and published their first books to wildly different responses from the public athena and june attended the same prestigious college and ran in similar circles since they had similar interests and ambitions literary success however athena published her first novel while still in college obtaining a prestigious literary agent and book deal june also finished her first book in college and got an agent and far less lucrative book deal yellowface s most important moment happens quite early in the book while athena and june are socializing in athena s fabulous apartment in washington dc celebrating athena s completion of her latest novel when athena chokes and dies in a freak accident the incident is told from june s perspective and makes it somewhat ambiguous whether june could have been more active in trying to save her friend what happens next is not in doubt however june takes the only existing copy of athena s completed manuscript home with her after a few days she takes it out and starts to edit it and check and augment the historical details included in the book athena s novel was a surprising departure from her previous work it s a historical novel about a little known incident from world war i involving chinese laborers there s also an interracial love story eventually june decides to submit the work to her usually unenthusiastic agent passing it off as her own of course everyone loves the book even though they are somewhat surprised that june could and would write something like this june is white and athena is asian american so questions of authenticity become raised almost immediately internally within june s literary agency and externally from fellow writers who knew both athena and june some who are still reeling over the sudden tragic death of athena and are extremely suspicious of june s bona fides to publish a book about this topic however what happens next is something of a slow moving horror story as the book becomes more and more successful scrutiny about the provenance of the work is also heightened kuang skillfully shows how social media and word of mouth i e gossip operate within literary circles especially in her depictions of the sometimes cozy and somewhat incestuous relationship between authors critics publishers promoters and bookstores the ending of yellowface is somewhat anticlimactic unsurprisingly as the tension of the plot ratchets up higher and higher eventually something breaks but in a way that is not as compelling as the setup of the story overall my impression of the book are generally positive but i definitely would not have voted for it as the best fiction book of 2023 regardless it s clear that kuang is an author on the rise and i look forward to reading her future work title

goodreads r f kuang reading reviews sunday december 24 2023 book review holly by stephen king holly is another entry by stephen king into the universe in which the bill hodges trilogy mr mercedes finders keepers end of watch was set although this time holly gibney is the primary character gibney is also featured in the outsider and one of the four novellas that make up the 2020 collection if it bleeds even though i am not a fan of the horror genre or supernatural stories in general i now consider myself a fan of king s in the last few years i have read and reviewed fairy tale 2023 billy summers 2022 and the institute 2020 i appreciate what an amazing storyteller he is even so i generally restrict myself to his non supernatural fare which i enjoy tremendously and holly is no exception the bill hodges trilogy were some of the first books by king that i read primarily because they are in the mystery detective thriller genre they feature bill hodges as a former cop who opens his own private detective agency called finders keepers and features holly as his shy but capable assistant who becomes his partner as well as jerome robinson a computer savvy black teenager who does odd jobs for bill although bill was the main character of the series my favorites were always jerome and holly and i hoped that king would return to them in future work which he has done with the publication of holly holly is the main character in holly which is set in july 2021 smack dab in the middle of the covid 19 pandemic and the trump era holly is mourning the death of her mom due...
