My Alternative 96th Academy Awards

This is an exercise that has not appeared on this blog since 2019 for the 91st ceremony. But I wanted to revive it. So what would tomorrow's Academy Awards ceremony looked like if I determined all the nominees and the winners? This is my ideal world, my alternative universe, if you will. Prepare for controversy, and my ambivalence towards Poor Things and The Zone of Interest (which doesn't get nominated at all here).

It's been a while since I've done this, so there might be some quirks newer followers are less familiar with. Most notably, if you see a three letter abbreviation anywhere, that indicates a movie not in the English language and indicates the country/countries of origin based on their three-letter FIFA code of all things.

Without further ado!

96th Academy Awards – March 10, 2024 Dolby Theatre – Hollywood, Los Angeles, California Host: Jimmy Kimmel Broadcaster: ABC

Best Picture: KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON

Anatomy of a Fall (FRA), Marie-Ange Luciani and David Thion (Neon/Le Pacte)

Barbie, David Heyman, Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley,  and Robbie Brenner (Warner Bros.)

The Holdovers, Mark Johnson (Focus/Universal)

Killers of the Flower Moon, Dan Friedkin, Bradley Thomas, Martin Scorsese, and Daniel Lupi (Apple/Paramount)

Oppenheimer, Emma Thomas, Charles Roven, and Christopher Nolan (Universal)

Past Lives, David Hinojosa, Christina Vachon, and Pamela Koffler (A24)

Robot Dreams (ESP/FRA), Ibon Cormenzana, Ignasi Estapé, Sandra Tapia, Jérôme Vidal, and Pablo Berger (Neon/Bteam Pictures/Wild Bunch)

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Amy Pascal, Avi Arad, and Christina Steinberg (Sony Pictures Animation/Columbia)

The Taste of Things (FRA), Olivier Delbosc (Gaumont)

20 Days in Mariupol (UKR), Raney Aronson-Rath, Mstyslav Chernov, Derl McCrudden, and Michelle Mizner (Associated Press/Public Broadcasting Service)

Am I nuts? A documentary (there's nothing in the rules that say they can't be nominated for Best Picture)? Why not? TWO animated features? Let alone a movie that almost nobody outside of Europe has seen? Well I've seen Robot Dreams, and it is one of the best 2023 release I saw all year.

My full thoughts on my favored film, Killers of the Flower Moon, can be found in my write-up here.

Six of the current Best Picture nominees keep their nomination. American Fiction, Maestro, Poor Things, and The Zone of Interest are dropped. In their place go Robot Dreams, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, The Taste of Things, and 20 Days in Mariupol. I strongly considered replacing Barbie, but decided against it. Yes, I believe there were more than ten movies better than Barbie this year. But I richly *enjoyed* Barbie, and appreciate its instant spot in film history. It stays in.

Best Director

Joaquin Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer

Martin Scorsese, Killers of the Flower Moon

Trần Anh Hùng, The Taste of Things

Justine Triet, Anatomy of a Fall

Folks are saying Martin Scorsese is not nearly as innovative as he used to be. Au contraire, I say. Killers of the Flower Moon exemplifies tons of personal and artistic growth for him... and that extremely risky ending pays off dividends. As a Nolan skeptic, I am indeed impressed with his work on Oppenheimer, but it's not the "best" for me this year.

Those familiar with my affiliation with Viet Film Fest might detect some bias, but hell The Taste of Things was gorgeous, folks.

Best Actor

Bradley Cooper, Maestro

Colman Domingo, Rustin

Paul Giamatti, The Holdovers

Cillian Murphy, Oppenheimer

Jeffrey Wright, American Fiction

It's a toss-up to me. But, having to choose one, I'll go for a man who is probably overdue.

Best Actress

Lily Gladstone, Killers of the Flower Moon

Sandra Hüller, Anatomy of a Fall

Alma Pöysti, Fallen Leaves (FIN)

Margot Robbie, Barbie

Emma Stone, Poor Things

The first acting change from the actual Oscars appears here, with Finnish actress Alma Pöysti replacing Annette Bening in Nyad. But this should be Lily Gladstone's, who would justly be making a lot of history here.

And yes, Barbie fans... I relent. Margot Robbie makes my final cut.

Best Supporting Actor

Sterling K. Brown, American Fiction

Robert De Niro, Killers of the Flower Moon

Robert Downey Jr., Oppenheimer

Ryan Gosling, Barbie

Dominic Sessa, The Holdovers

I don't think RDJ should be sweeping the season as he has. I think it's a lot closer between all of these fellows than it actually has been. Disagree with me all you want, but I think De Niro was truly menacing in KOTFM. And he didn't need any deaging this time, either!

Best Supporting Actress

Juliette Binoche, The Taste of Things

Emily Blunt, Oppenheimer

Danielle Brooks, The Color Purple

Penélope Cruz, Ferrari

Da’Vine Joy Randolph, The Holdovers

Fine, I guess? I think Randolph's character gets cut out of The Holdovers far too soon. But I can't make the case for anyone else this year except for maybe Binoche (whom some people will complain about my placement in Supporting Actress instead of Lead Actress, but that's how the studio campaigned for her).

Best Adapted Screenplay

Pablo Berger, Robot Dreams

Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, Barbie

Cord Jefferson, American Fiction

Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer

Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese, Killers of the Flower Moon

I'm not going to second-guess the Academy on its placement of Barbie here. It's not winning in this category in any case. American Fiction is a solid, imperfect satire, and finds its due here.

Best Original Screenplay

İlker Çatak and Johannes Duncker, The Teachers’ Lounge (GER)

David Hemingson, The Holdovers

A.V. Rockwell, A Thousand and One

Celine Song, Past Lives

Justine Triet and Arthur Harari, Anatomy of a Fall

I was very, very tempted to give this to Past Lives. But in the end, my sneaking feeling that I don't quite buy the closeness - despite having not talked for so long - of the two lead characters wins out.

Anatomy of a Fall is a hell of a balancing act, domestically and legally, and wins here.

Best Animated Feature

The Boy and the Heron, Japan (GKIDS/Studio Ghibli/Toho Company)

Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia, France (GKIDS/StudioCanal)

Robot Dreams, Spain/France (Neon/Bteam Pictures/Wild Bunch)

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Sony Pictures Animation/Columbia)

Suzume, Japan (GKIDS/Toho Company)

Stoking the flames, but here we are! I think ATSV is slightly better than Robot Dreams as a whole, but the film lacks a resolution and obviously had access to more resources. Spider-Man will return to this category. I'm not so sure about Pablo Berger. The heartfelt and dialogue-free Robot Dreams takes it, while the Ernest & Celestine sequel and Suzume make it in place of Elemental and Nimona.

Best Documentary Feature

Bobi Wine: The People’s President (National Geographic)

The Eternal Memory, Chile (MTV Documentary Films)

Four Daughters, Tunisia/France/Germany/Saudi Arabia (Kino Lorber/Jour2Fête)

To Kill a Tiger, Canada (National Film Board of Canada)

20 Days in Mariupol, Ukraine (Associated Press/Public Broadcasting Service)

Extraordinary filmmaking and, as you can imagine, brutal to watch. It's freely available online for any American readers out there, thanks to PBS.

Best International Feature

Fallen Leaves, Finland

Society of the Snow, Spain

The Taste of Things, France

The Teachers’ Lounge, Germany

20 Days in Mariupol, Ukraine

I follow Academy rules here in terms of one movie per country.

Best Cinematography

Edward Lachman, El Conde

Rodrigo Prieto, Killers of the Flower Moon

Mathtew Libatique, Maestro

Hoyte van Hoytema, Oppenheimer

Jonathan Ricquebourg, The Taste of Things

Best Film Editing

Laurent Sénéchal, Anatomy of a Fall

Kevin Tent, The Holdovers

Thelma Schoonmaker, Killers of the Flower Moon

Jennifer Lame, Oppenheimer

Michael Andrews, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Best Original Score

Michael Giacchino, Society of the Snow

Laura Karpman, American Fiction

Robbie Robertson, Killers of the Flower Moon (posthumous nomination)

John Williams, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Hans Zimmer, The Creator

The folks who complained that Dial of Destiny was not original enough need to go 1) watch the movie and 2) listen to the score afterwards. There was a distinct lack of older Indiana Jones cues in there, and "Helena's Theme" is the best cue of 2023. Too many people online write about film scores but have little idea about what they're talking about (*cough* David Ehrlich at IndieWire *cough*).

That said, Williams doesn't win here. It's Giacchino, for a score that does a hell lot of the heavy emotional lifting in a grim movie that concludes with its real-life happy ending.

Best Original Song

“I’m Just Ken”, music and lyrics by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, Barbie

“It Never Went Away”, music and lyrics by Jon Batiste and Dan Wilson, American Symphony

“Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)”, music and lyrics by Scott George, Killers of the Flower Moon

“What Was I Made For?” music and lyrics by Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell, Barbie

Four nominees rather than five, because I didn't like much else that was shortlisted. This category has been my personal hell in recent years.

Best Costume Design

Jacqueline Durran, Barbie

Jacqueline West, Killers of the Flower Moon

Janty Yates and Dave Crossman, Napoleon

Ellen Mirojnick, Oppenheimer

Holly Waddington, Poor Things

Best Makeup and Hairstyling

Karen Hartley Thomas, Suzi Battersby, and Ashra Kelly-Blue, Golda

Kazu Hiro, Kay Georgiou, and Lori McCoy-Bell, Maestro

Luisa Abel, Oppenheimer

Nadia Stacey, Mark Coulier, and Josh Weston, Poor Things

Ana López-Puigcerver, David Martí, and Montse Ribé, Society of the Snow

Best Production Design

Sarah Greenwood and Katie Spencer, Barbie

Jack Fisk and Adam Willis, Killers of the Flower Moon

Arthur Max and Elli Griff, Napoleon

Ruth De Jong and Claire Kaufman, Oppenheimer

James Price, Shona Heath, and Zsuzsa Mihalek, Poor Things

Best Sound

Ian Voigt, Erik Aadahl, Ethan Van der Ryn, Tom Ozanich, and Dean Zupancic, The Creator

Steven A. Morrow, Richard King, Jason Ruder, Tom Ozanich, and Dean Zupancic, Maestro

Chris Munro, James H. Mather, Chris Burdon, and Mark Taylor, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One

Willie Burton, Richard King, Gary A. Rizzo, and Kevin O'Connell, Oppenheimer

Steven Ghouti, Fabiola Ordoyo, and Laia Picón, Robot Dreams

Best Visual Effects

Jay Cooper, Ian Comley, Andrew Roberts, and Neil Corbould, The Creator

Sanjay Bakshi, Stephen Marshall, Jon Reisch, Junyi Ling, Elemental

Takashi Yamazaki, Kiyoko Shibuya, Masaki Takahashi, and Tatsuji Nojima, Godzilla Minus One

Alex Wuttke, Simone Coco, Jeff Sutherland, and Neil Corbould, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One

Michael Lasker, Alan Hawkins, Bret St. Clair, Pav Grochola, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Moving from downtown Fort Lauderdale into downtown Boca Raton Mizner Square can be extremely stressful if you do it on your own.

"Let’s get this show on the road, Cri-kee, get the bags!”

The Disney Dad and his fearless blogger have come out of reverse hibernation (being TOO FREAKIN’ BUSY throughout the summer) just in time for their vacation to the Happiest Place on Earth! Other than scrambling to pack, what are we up to, getting ready to go on vacation? What are we looking forward to?

Strap in, folks. Here’s our advice on how to prepare in the weeks leading up to your WDW vacation!

In the months leading up to your Disney trip, if you are staying on site, you have been offered the chance to check in online. 60 days in advance, if you haven’t done this, you have made your trip worse. Nothing beats arriving at Disney, checking in in 20 minutes because you have given them all your information, and hitting the park in the first hour of your vacation.

To help in this process, also remember to confirm your Magical Express information at least two weeks before travelling, to eliminate the hassle of luggage collection, and expedite travel to Disney from the airport. Also remember to pack your MagicBands in your carry-on bag for faster check in at the Magical Express and your resort.

Dining reservations should have begun 180 days before your arrival at a Disney resort. However, changes in plans do occur for everyone, and waiting until a week or two before your arrival means that somebody else may have cancelled a reservation. Check your app to see if a better time is available for your schedule. Please note that if you have found new reservations with the app, you can add the new reservation and delete the old one at the same time, freeing up the old time slot for someone else.

Speaking of the app, if you enjoy taking tours at Disney, booking recreational activities at Disney, the only downfall of the My Disney Experience app is that you have to add these events as notes in your itinerary, because the app does not connect to the reservation and confirmation numbers of these experiences. Maybe in the next update, though!

While you may have booked all your FastPass+, make sure you review the site, in the week or two before your arrival to see if there are any ride closures for attractions you do not have a FastPass+ for. I personally like to use “Theme Park Tourist” on Facebook to track weekly closures and updates.

Make sure you check a reliable weather app for updates AT LEAST 10 days preceding your arrival. Florida weather can range from sunny and humid, to cloudy and humid, to occasional thunderstorms to (in January and February) chilly at night. Depending on where you are traveling from, some of these weather conditions may be uncomfortable. Be prepared with rain ponchos, sunscreen, and (occasionally) long pants and sweatshirts.

But enough of what you should do! What are we going to do while we’re there? And what are we going to report back about?

Tiffins- While we will be reviewing the food in-depth, we will also be exploring the new Pandora area of Animal Kingdom.

Artist Point- One of the few signature restaurants that we haven’t gone to yet. We’ll be sure to give a full review when we get back!

Skipper Canteen- Also a new food offering we were able to get reservations for. We are especially interested in the way they continue to introduce alcohol into the Magic Kingdom.

Mizner’s, AbracadaBar, BaseLine Tap House & Trader Sam’s- Previously touched on in our “Favorite Disney Bars” post, we are thrilled to be heading to some of the hottest bars on Disney property!

We will, of course, be posting pictures throughout the trip. Blair is switching from their main blog to this one on their phone, so if anyone has questions/requests feel free to hit us up!

Two quotes from recent posts to the Jack’s Winning Words blog seem to fit together nicely to illustrate the benefits of being a good listener.

“All people want is someone to listen.”  (Hugh Elliott)

-and-

“A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he gets to know something.”  (Wilson Mizner)

It seems like there are nightly stories on the news shows about people complaining…

A região de Palm Beaches, na Flórida, é puro luxo

Passar férias na Flórida é um sonho para muita gente e o estado oferece muitas atrações que vão além de Miami e Orlando.

Um dos lugares que vale a pena  conhecer  é a  bela região de Palm Beaches,  formada for 39 cidades, cheias de atrações,  praias maravilhosas e um dos lugares preferidos dos milionários americanos em busca de dias ensolarados principalmente durante o inverno.

Distante 1 hora de Miami, explore a região começando por Boca Raton que  é uma graça de cidade, com casas e apartamentos luxuosos, muitas atrações, lindas praias, shoppings e ótimos restaurantes. Depois de passear pelos principais pontos da cidade, não deixe de conhecer o Mizner Park, um shopping a céu aberto, chique e charmoso e almoce no clássico Max´s Grille, restaurante que há mais de 25 anos é um dos preferidos entre os locais.

A vida milionária de Palm Beach

Continue o passeio até Palm Beach, a mais chique de todas as cidades que reúne a nata dos milionários americanos, numa verdadeira ilha de riquezas.

Com a fama de ter sido o primeiro destino de resorts na América desde os anos 1800, a região de Palm Beaches e especialmente a cidade que leva o mesmo nome, ainda conserva um ar aristocrático, mas com amigável atmosfera e simpático atendimento, mesmo para quem não tem a carteira recheada como os milionários locais.

Já na travessia da ponte que liga West Palm à Palm Beach, dá para ver os imponentes iates, as belíssimas mansões e os carros de luxo circulando pelas elegantes ruas e avenidas.

A Worth Avenue é a meca das compras dos endinheirados da região, onde estão as lojas de grifes, os ótimos restaurantes entre lindas galerias concentradas em 4 quarteirões dessa imponente avenida que se estende até a bela Torre do Relógio na frente do mar.

Hospedagem com requinte e elegância

Para curtir esse clima de férias de luxo, hospede-se no Eau Palm Beach, um elegante hotel cinco estrelas à beira-mar. Para se ter uma ideia, no Forbes Travel Guide  existem apenas 8 hotéis na Flórida na categoria 5 estrelas e o Eau é um deles.

Depois de vivenciar uns dias no hotel, sendo recepcionado com champanhe no check-in e no check-out, receber morangos cobertos com chocolate e macarons de boas-vindas no apartamento, ter os privilégios do Club Lounge, com finas refeições, ótimos vinhos e champanhes, um concierge exclusivo, hospedar-se em elegante suíte com terraço debruçado no mar e conhecer o Eau Spa, um dos 10 mais elegantes spas do mundo, seus conceitos sobre hotéis chiques nunca mais serão os mesmos.

Um verdadeiro playground de luxo para férias inesquecíveis com direito a tratamentos exclusivos, prometem lhe deixar zen e muito mimado com a excelência do serviço.

Onde ir

Para curtir o entardecer de Palm Beach com direito a ver a cidade e as belas mansões por outro ângulo, a dica é curtir o mar em um passeio de Catamarã do Visit Palm Beach Catamaran Cruise para se encantar ainda mais com o destino.

No início da noite, não estranhe as ruas vazias de Palm Beach. Com toda certeza, a nata dos moradores estará em animadas rodas de amigos curtindo algum lugar bacana da ilha, como o ótimo Imoto .

O pequeno e aconchegante restaurante japonês, pilotado pelo Chef Clay Conley, serve deliciosos sushis e sashimis frescos, além de criativos pratos inspirados na culinária asiática. Depois de algumas rodadas dos mais famosos coquetéis da cidade, a pedida é jantar no restaurante irmão, que fica ao lado, o badaladíssimo e sempre lotado Buccan, onde o Chef Clay faz um passeio por vários países do mundo, numa cozinha inventiva e bastante apreciada pelos fiéis frequentadores.

Até mesmo uma moqueca baiana serviu de fonte de inspiração para um dos seus pratos e absolutamente tudo nesse restaurante é gostoso, do criativo cardápio à decoração do local.

Se quiser continuar a noitada, a pedida é ir para West Palm Beach especialmente na Clematis Street, onde bares e restaurantes estão sempre lotados de gente animada.

Delray Beach

Se tiver mais um dia pela região, explore outras lindas cidades, como Delray . Charmosa, divertida e ainda pouco conhecida por brasileiros, a cidade tem ruas movimentadas e cheias de atrações dia e noite, principalmente na Atlantic Avenue.

Logo cedo pela manhã vale conhecer uma praia linda e quase escondida no Gulfstream Park, entre Delray e Boynton Beach, em seguida explorar o centrinho charmoso de Delray para ver as boutiques, galerias, bares e restaurante sempre cheios de gente.

No final da tarde, o point da happy hour é no descontraído e praiano Deck 84 , que tem localização privilegiada, na beira do canal. Dá para passar horas observando a ponte levantar para barcos passarem, enquanto curte os coquetéis e o ótimo cardápio com opções deliciosas, curtindo o visual do local. Depois vale pular de bar em bar ou dar uma gostosa caminhada pela divertida avenida Atlântica e nas ruas em volta dela.

2cd day! Look at me actually going through with something!

It’s actually 1 am, for once I was excited to write something lol. On the hour ride back home all I did was non stop talk about random shit with my dad. Like “I wonder who came up with Willy Wonka? Wait! I didn’t know Ronald Dahl came up with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the BFG and Matilda.... that man wild or som lmao” I practically also went on about how much I love Mizner park with all my heart. Tbh Boca Raton has never gave me any sad feeling or memories that why it’s the only place I love, even tho I’m not much of a Florida person lol. Lmao that reminds me of all those weird “Florida man” stories. Hold up, is it just me or does Lululemon seem like the most boringgg clothing company you’ve ever seen smh¿? Anywho, I’ll check in later but for now imma go to sleep... duces.

5:03. Whoop¡ deadass lost motivation there for a few ngl. It’s been kinda boring since none of my friends hmu, but they expect me to hit them up¿ smh. Anywho, I’ve been at my grandparents with my cousins working on Christmas stuff and decorating gingerbread houses. My dad keeps bothering me to write this essay I have that was due last Wednesday but I really don’t wanna do that. But I have to or my phone will be taken smh. I really have nothing else to say tbh, it’s been a slow day kinda.

8. Spent an hour at TjMaxx and tried on an expensive grey sequined flowy dress. I looked ok tbh, I didn’t like how the sleeves stopped at my elbow ( it’s not flattering) and I ate too much at a Mexican restaurant so I was kinda busting in it smh. But that’s ok. My little sister looked so cute in her black romper thing tho. Almost bought a candle that smelt so good, but it’s like $13 and I’m not paying that for a candle smh.

9:37. Ok, so I cleaned up my whole insta and everything and I’m only redownloading snap for the sole purpose of taking pictures. That’s why imma make a new account so I’m not bothered by friends on it.

11:47. I've mentioned this a lot but I hate English class and writing but at least there is one positive to this blog thing is that I can actually type more than I usually do. kudos goes to me ig lol. I will say this tho, I never noticed how much I used slang and acronyms haha. Oh well. 

12:13. this is a pointless thing to add on but idc. So when I mentioned I painted my nails yesterday (I always paint my nails red) I decided to shape my nails. Honestly, I'm so glad I did that. Who knew that an oval/ almond shape would look so cute on my short stubby hands. also, I'm just procrastinating tbh lmao. 

12:40. Technically it’s a new day but I haven’t made the next post yet smh. I said I finished the paper. I really didn’t. I just wanna go to bed really badly. I’ll finish it tomorrow tho don’t worry. Lol duces.

“La Florentia” Nicknamed: “Birthday Cake Castle” Location: Lake Worth, Florida Photo Credits: Alice Lowe for www.ArtandDesignMatters.com Interesting tidbits: The home got its name due to its many “cake-like” features, such as pillars shaped as candles, concrete wall surfaces that “swirl” like icing and a birthday cake stained glass window above the main entrance. There are tiles above an exterior door that reads “Birthday Cake Castle”. Built by local banker Earl Reed for his wife, Florence, in 1925, and named it “La Florentia”. The home was designed by Addison Mizner draftsman G. Sherman Childs and was built in 1925 along the Lake Worth, Florida waterfront, where 5th Avenue South meets the Intracoastal, just south of Bryant Park. Childs also designed the Lake Worth City Hall, the original Lake Worth Casino, and several notable homes. He was Lake Worth’s most significant art deco architect. The home didn’t earn its nickname, Birthday Cake Castle, until 1954, when WWII correspondent, Upton Close, bought the house as a birthday gift for his wife, Margaret Fretter Nye. She wrote books on a typewriter in the octagonal turret. It was the first property included on the Lake Worth Register of Historic Places. In 2015, the Mediterranean style home served as the venue for the 39th American Red Cross Designers’ Show House—welcoming 20 designers to transform its interiors.
