Oscars 2023: The Shortlists (and other Precursors)
Oscar nominations are out in two weeks, so I should probably start actually looking at things. I’m not as on top of stuff as I’ve been in recent years, so I’m trying to squeeze a lot in a limited amount of time. I suspect I will not end up being able to watch all I have in time for nominations, have to guess blindly and then catch up after nominations are announced. But such is the life of someone with no time who still finds it necessary to watch everything shortlisted each year.
I’m not gonna go as in depth on all of this as I usually do (and I’m really only doing this for one thing, as it’s my favorite thing to do, pre-Oscars, every year), but we will get into some stuff and broadly talk about things en route to nominations coming out. (more…)
Pic of the Day: “So here’s the riddle. What does an eight thousand pound mako shark with a brain the size of a flat head V8 engine and no natural predators think about?” “Well, I’m not waiting around here to find out!” (25th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: “I want three volunteers to go out on a patrol, you, you, and you. You’re in charge, Holley.” “Why am I always volunteering for patrols? I’m just a cowboy.” (75th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: “You hocked a Hattori Hanzo Sword?” “Yep.” “It was priceless.” “Well, not in El Paso, it ain’t. In El Paso I got me $250 for it.” (20th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: “Oh, this is heavy, Doc. I mean, it’s like I was just here yesterday.” “You were here yesterday, Marty.” (35th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: “Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I’m so sick of it.” (5th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: “I have loved you since the moment I clapped eyes on you. What could be more reasonable than to marry you?” “We’d kill each other.” “Nonsense!” “Neither of us can keep our temper-” “I can, unless provoked.” “We’re both stupidly stubborn, especially you. We’d only quarrel!” “I wouldn’t!” “You can’t even propose without quarreling.” (30th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: “I would rather you all become happy wives to poor men or even respectable old maids, than queens on thrones without peace or self-respect.” (75th Anniversary)
