tick tick BOOM reunion at the Oscar luncheon
For those of you who are not "extremely online" as they say, we thought we'd share some photos and point you to some fine accounts of the Oscar luncheon since they'll be new to you. We are neither cool enough nor local enough to be invited to this Los Angeles event (TFE is a NYC site... though a couple of our contributors are in LA) but thankfully some journalists are! The event took place yesterday and the reports have been trickling in ever since...

The Best Supporting Actor Chart now contains a ton more information and a poll which you can vote on daily.

Tuesday, February 1, 2022 at 7:00PM Oscar Volleys continue with Eric Blume and Ben Miller discussing Best Supporting Actor.
Eric Blume: Happy to reteaming with you, Ben, to discuss that woebegone category of Best Supporting Actor. Nobody in the running can touch what Kodi Smit-McPhee accomplishes in The Power of the Dog, a bravura combination of sleight-of-hand and lived-in work. The movie feels like an instant classic. Kodi delivers the gift of making you want to re-watch his performances instantly to see his choices in a new context when he unfurls the full characterization. There's depth and artistry to this performance, while appearing effortless: it's a stunning piece of acting. But he's not the only lock...
