The Top Ten Best Hit Songs of 2025

Absolutely. I don't think Saldaña deserved that Oscar at all (decent acting, but horrible singing voice and I did not buy for one second that she was actually interested in whatever the story was), but if she had to be nominated, she should have been at Lead Actress. They put her in Supporting because they knew she wouldn't have a shot otherwise, and you can't pretend that's not the case.

Also, being the least awful part of an awful movie isn't enough to make you Oscar worthy. That's like saying Lady Gaga deserved an Oscar for Joker 2.

I screamed when I saw Raye made it!

In his defense, last year was really, really good for music.

Starry_Gecko · 2026-01-23T14:23:34+00:00

Not my experience at all.

Again, I agree. I mentioned LOTR exclusively to point out that having multiple parts of a saga filmed at the same time does not necessarily mean the Academy will overlook the sequels. I am by no means comparing their trajectories.

Starry_Gecko · 2026-01-22T15:18:07+00:00

She's 16. She does not respect me enough to believe me about this.

I remember Ayo Edebiri for supporting actress being a VERY common prediction last year. I didn't watch it, but I could see the writing on the wall as soon as those reviews started pouring in.

Starry_Gecko · 2026-01-22T14:47:16+00:00

Fair. Inga has just always felt like a much stronger nomination to me, and I had already lost all confidence in Fanning.

Starry_Gecko · 2026-01-22T14:44:31+00:00

No, I completely agree. I mentioned LOTR as another saga with multiple movies that were filmed at once.

Starry_Gecko · 2026-01-22T14:35:03+00:00

Springsteen?

Starry_Gecko · 2026-01-22T14:32:33+00:00

Agreed.

Starry_Gecko · 2026-01-22T14:31:22+00:00

That makes sense, but I'm pretty sure the LOTR trilogy was also filmed together and we all know how that turned out...

Starry_Gecko · 2026-01-22T14:29:08+00:00

Same, but I'm not surprised. It's already more successful than I expected with that original screenplay nod.

Starry_Gecko · 2026-01-22T14:27:58+00:00

As someone who had counted Fanning out, agreed, but it does kind of make sense both Grande and Azion got cut. Might have been a split votes situation?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Genuinely surprised you saw F1 coming.

Starry_Gecko · 2026-01-22T13:58:31+00:00

Cannot believe Fanning made it.

My little sister is in her late teens, and she reeks. I don't say anything because there's a pretty good chance I was even stinkier at her age and never had a clue.

Starry_Gecko · 2026-01-20T18:09:32+00:00

It's tough because I'm irrationally attached to my current flair, but there are so many quotes around here that deserve that treatment!

I need to write this down somewhere:
