Mark Ruffalo in "Poor Things"

You've had time to thoroughly process the Oscar nominations and time to finish the quick grief cycle around "snubs". It's time to look on the bright side. We polled our team on which nominations, above and below the line, gave them the most joy. Here are their answers. We hope to hear yours, too, in the comments...

BIGGEST JOY (Above the Line)

Comedic performances rarely get any sort of recognition, and we had THREE in the same category!

Team Experience Oscar Predictions - Post 1 - Initial Thoughts

by Christopher James

Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon are obvious frontrunners, but who is the leader among The Film Experience writers as of now?

With the Gotham Awards and New York Film Critics Awards having announced their winners, the Oscars race is officially afoot! We have surveyed The Film Experience writers and asked them to make predictions in the main eight categories - Picture, Directing, Actress, Actor, Supporting Actress, Supporting Actor, Adapted Screenplay and Original Screenplay. Every other week, we will check in with the team to see who has risen or fallen in the rankings.

Martin Scorsese’s epic drama, Killers of the Flower Moon, had the strongest showing of the week, awards-wise. It took home Best Picture at the New York Film Critics Awards and stars Lily Gladstone and Robert De Niro had the most high profile moments of the Gotham Awards. Does that mean it is out in front, or does Oppenheimer still have the distinction of frontrunner status? See what the Film Experience Team thinks after the jump...

Team Experience Reacts to the 2023 Emmy Nominations

by Christopher James

The Team was particularly excited for the four nominations for Jury Duty.

No one loves awards shows more than The Film Experience team. Loving an award show doesn’t mean nomination morning is happy. You take the lumps of coal with the bright, shiny surprises. There was plenty to like this year at the Emmys, and about as much to complain about as well. After all, there are more than 100 categories, even if most of them went to Succession.

Team Experience Predictions Chart - FINAL PREDICTIONS

Final Oscar predictions from the team...

The time has come! The Film Experience writers have made their predictions in all 23 Oscar categories. While many categories are incredibly contentious, one in particular seems pretty easy.

BEST PICTURE

After a staggering precursor run, every member of the Team Experience is predicting Everything Everywhere All At Once to win Best Picture. We don’t want to get overconfident, but the Daniels’ multiverse epic will likely take a healthy chunk of hardware home on Oscar night. The question at hand is how many awards it will win...

11th Annual Team Experience Awards - NOMINEES

From the team…

Is there any awards body, including our dear writers, who isn't in love with "Everything Everywhere All At Once"?

Looks like the Oscars and the Film Experience writers share something in common. Both are crazy for Everything Everywhere All At Once. The Daniels’ sci-fi extravaganza earned a whopping twelve mentions from the team, including in Best Picture.  These nominees were voted on by all the writers at The Film Experience, sans Nathaniel (who will be revealing his own Film Bitch Awards separately). Come back to The Film Experience next Tuesday, February 7th for the winners. Check out the nominees after the jump...
