This proves us that group thinking is a thing. Both with the Academy and with any other group of people, actually.
Whoever wins, I hope they are thoughtful about their acceptance speech. I was taken aback reading Dave Karger’s new book of 50 interviews with Oscar winners about the night each won.
In an interview with Meryl Streep, she discusses her acceptance speech and recounts her memorable moment the night she won for Sophie’s Choice, “It was such an amazing experience shooting that film. It meant so much to me. It was Peter and Kevin and Alan. We were just this little unit of mutual understanding. I loved Alan so much, and the cast was so wonderful, and the crew. We were mutually dependent on each other to tell the story emotionally and with some degree of feeling and truth. I just loved working with them. So I did say everybody’s name—except for the producer. I just forgot. I was out of my mind and very excited. The guy paid for [the movie]. When we were all standing at the curb waiting for our cars, everybody was coming up and saying congratulations. I was so happy. And this producer came up and said, “Thanks a lot, and fuck you.” I didn’t realize how important it is to get every single person, especially the person who pays for it.”
The greatest divergence between the so-called frontrunners and TFE votes seems to be Gosling in Barbie. (He'd get my vote, although I liked Downey too.)
