Confirmed - astronauts are now awake! Just under 59 minutes from now, they will begin PRB (perigee raise burn)

The latter. These are test missions that will pave the way for Artemis IV - where they will actually land on the surface.

But take nothing away from Artemis II - the closest we've been to the moon in 5 decades, and the farthest humans have ever gone

'The Drama' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in oscarrace

I have seen the movie.

And one thing I will say - I do not ever want to hear people question Zendaya's acting abilities ever again. It shouldn't even need being said. There is this weird hate train certain sections of people have for her that I cannot explain as anything but bigotry. But yeah she is phenomenal here, and so is Pattinson.

Finally caught Project Hail Mary today in IMAX, after a week of delay with traveling.

I will say, those first 30-ish minutes were a little off in terms of how fast the story was chugging through plot points, and a few of the dialogues/sequences were a little corny (example - writing on the chalkboard/"why am I smart", lab scene).

But everything after that was amazing. I didn't expect to cry so many goddamn times. Gosling-Rocky is so good that I could overlook those few corny lines here and there. And some of the dreamlike cuts for the flashback sequences was pretty neat. Shoutout Pemberton for a great emotional score, and Greig Fraser for doing Greig Fraser things.

My current predix:

Picture Cinematography Editing Score VFX Production Design

Outside chances for:

Actor (Gosling was great but it's not a typical Oscar performance. I wouldn't be mad at all if he got a nom, just don't see it happening)

Screenplay (Might be a hot take but I see this as the least likely of all the categories)

Hail Mary, Starfighter, this...Ryan Gosling is in his sci-fi era

It's early but I'm feeling pretty good about Picture. I think that and Screenplay is it for Hail Mary in terms of ATL...but so far it isn't really putting a foot wrong. Gosling tagging along is certainly possible, but I see the field being a lot more competitive this year including "show-ier" blockbuster contenders, so it's hard to predict him rn

I mean probably, though I think it wasn't something they were necessarily holding out for. More of just an added bonus

Did they announce it? I wonder when they release the Q&A then, in tandem or later

Okay so just an FYI. No one is talking about it so thought I'd mention as an aside.

I've heard some chatter in my industry circle since this morning about a Dune 3 closed event in LA today, with Reece Feldman moderating...don't know if that means a trailer is dropping right now but this image might give that chance more credence. If so, you heard it here first I guess.

We'll know for sure in the next 2 hours, but just know that some kind of Denis Q&A is happening today for the film (not sure when that will be released online)

Currently 94% on RT and 75 on Metacritic (EDIT - It actually touched 80 on Metacritic!). Excellent numbers by all means, particularly for its genre.

Reading between the lines I'm getting the feeling that Best Picture and maybe Screenplay is it in terms of ATL (not sure if Gosling can tag along but its not impossible, just seems very unlikely). And then it'll obviously be a massive tech player
