16 out of 24 successful predictions tonight. Pretty sure that’s my record for all time, so I’ll celebrate with Suntory and sleep well. #filmsky #oscars2026

“Sean Penn couldn’t be here tonight…or didn’t want to…” THAT’S WHY ELORDI SHOULD HAVE WON! #filmsky #oscars2026

The first award of the night I got wrong is the brand new one. I can live with that (but if we gave give something to Sinners soon, that’d be nice. #filmsky #oscars2026

Playing in theaters again this weekend. No idea why, but glad this cult classic has found an audience after being woefully underappreciated back in 1999. #irongiant #filmsky

Nightmare employee experience and speaking personally, nightmare customer experience too. Fuck off Target. Fix your DEI policies, pay your employees more instead of regulating their emotions, then apologize for 10 years. Until then, eat boycott bitches!

Nov 8th 2018 - Wealthy author, Harlan Thrombey, had his 85th birthday party with his family. The next morning, he was found dead. 📽️📅 Knives Out (2019)
3 Screenshots from the movie "Knives Out" (2019): First, a man in a suit speaks in a dimly lit, vintage-style study with leather chairs and bookshelves in the background, subtitles: "the night of his demise one week ago. November eighth." Second, a family gathers around an older man smiling warmly as he sits behind a large birthday cake lit with numerous candles, in a cozy, warmly lit room, creating a celebratory but mysterious atmosphere. Third, the older man and a younger woman sit at a cluttered wooden table in a library filled with books and antiques.

Had to make some tough decisions at www.nytimes.com/interactive/... but I think things worked out okay in the end. Tried to avoid creator and subject overlap and not pick anything created during the pandemic; recommend everyone making a list especially if you have Letterboxd! #FilmSky

Finally, congratulations to Anora on Best Picture (five wins of six nominations). I only got 10 predictions right this year, but I’m happier with the reality of it all. #Oscars2025

Did QT get picked to present just because Sean Baker cast Mikey Madison because of a film that dropped back in 2020? What if Baker didn’t just win Best Director? That would have been really awkward. #Oscars2025
