In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Yes.
I've heard enough.

Yes.
Beaten by Robbie Williams in every category.
Cheval du Gasp, I think you will find it is actually called.

Seems like a really weak year for films. As usual there will be some foreign films that will salvage the year, but in terms of general Oscars fare there hasn't been a whole lot to bark about.
Daniel Craig for Queer? Ralph Fiennes? Kneecap for song?
Variety has this list as possible for Best Picture:
Anora
The Brutalist
A Complete Unknown
Conclave
Dune Part 2
Emilia Perez
I'm Still Here
A Real Pain
The Substance
Wicked
That makes for some sober reading.
If Emilia Perez wins anything I'm gonna have an aneurysm.
Cancel this shit show, now!
I just want The Remarkable Life of Ibelin to win best documentary. I don't care about anything else.
(Black Box Diaries was also a good documentary though)

I personally think it's been a good year for film.
Been thoroughly impressed with films such as Anora, Conclave, Brutalist, The Substance, The Order, The Return and I'm sure I missed a few more.

Nocturnes has been my favourite doc this year.

The Substance could be the worst acting I have ever watched. Demi Moore is better in Landman than this movie . Is this going to one of those mercy Oscars because of who she is.
No, Conan is hosting. Finally worth watching
Like clockwork.
There are some excellent films there. I question your taste.
Agreed
Wait til you meet wibble. (Sorry wibble.)
Like the first robin of spring, a joyful sight, you mean!
I haven't seen any of those apart from Dune 2, which was OK but forgettable (and I love the director normally), and Kneecap, which was fun but it would be truly bizarre if anything as left field as that got anywhere near an Oscar, even for music.Agreed

I watch far fewer films these days as I'm so frequently disappointed.
Yea, a few gems, but also two films that are half a film (Dune 2, Wicked), a broad pop horror (?) film that reeks of career award instead of specific film (Substance, Demi Moore), a flaccid biopic from a director who specializes in flaccid biopics (Complete), and a florid “musical” with almost no songs in it (Emilia Perez). Even compared to last year this is underwhelming. Last year Oppenheimer, American Fixtion, zone of Interest, Anatomy of a Fall, Holdovers, Barbie (last year’s The Substance?), Maestro, Killers of the Flower Moon, Past Lives, Poor Things. That is a more bountiful list. Even though I disliked a lot of those films, the breadth and artistry on display was greater.
The Brutalist
Conclave

As a wise man once said - “Pour me some bubbly now its all you gotta do. It's Christmas in Tinseltown.”
You watch the monologue on YouTube the day after. That way you don't want to watch a borefest of who has the most friends.
All the awards shows will be downsized, or scaled down and back or more focused on charity and recovery of the LA community after the wildfires now. All the record labels cancelled all their Grammy parties etc. Artists that were announcing tours or new projects are postponing. I bet even voting itself will be effected. Maybe less votes etc. because people didn't have time to watch or listen to nominees because they were fleeing or helping others flee.
