TOPIC: Pick the Oscar Noms

It's our annual "Pick the Oscar Nominations." Before the Academy will announce its Oscar choices, this is our chance to pick who should be nominated, and who probably will be.

Wicked has ruled the box office and pop culture the last few weeks. Will it do the same with the Oscars? Dune, Part II earned raves from critics and audiences alike but came out 10 months ago. Does it still have enough juice? The acting categories are particularly crowded this year. Ralph Fiennes and Demi Moore are two respected veterans who have never won but seem to have momentum with their performances in Conclave and The Substance, respectively. Nineteen years ago, James Mangold directed Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix to nominations for Walk the Line. Can he do the same with Timothée Chalamet and Edward Norton for his new music biopic, A Complete Unkown? Will Emilia Pérez, a Netflix musical about and starring a Mexican transgender woman, surprise everyone?

Please RSVP to atspector@hotmail.com and you'll get the Zoom link 1-2 days before the discussion.

The Cinema Lounge, a film discussion group, meets the third Monday of every month (unless otherwise noted) at 8:00pm online via Zoom. You do not need to be a member of the Washington DC Film Society to attend. Cinema Lounge is moderated by Adam Spector, author of the DC Film Society's Adam's Rib column.
