francisco @drspam.bsky.social · 14/03/2026i feel seen! been saying this for a decade, but without the poetry: “To rub salt into the wound, none of them have anything to do with their respective films.

francisco @drspam.bsky.social · 10/03/2026and with THE SMASHING MACHINE, my season is complete! it’s a strange movie, a mix of things that work well and poorly, adding up to something that’s just kinda… fine? but you can really see all the effort they put into hitting that target. the makeup is pretty amazing though. 0 nominees left!!! 010
francisco @drspam.bsky.social · 10/03/2026one of the most unhinged double features a person can experience is to follow the take-no-prisoners sensory assault of THE UGLY STEPSISTER with the life-affirming beauty of LITTLE AMÉLIE. only 1 nominee remains! 120

francisco @drspam.bsky.social · 03/03/2026it’s very hard to capture with words the experience of watching SIRÂT. but it’s deeply visceral, as if there’s some fundamental frequency governing the universe and you get to mainline it for a couple hours. it can be ecstatic or horrifying, alien or familiar, sometimes all at once. 13 nominees left 110
francisco @drspam.bsky.social · 02/03/2026year after year the doc short category is an exercise in self-flagellation, with multiple entries trying to coast by on trauma and superficial “importance.” this year, my favorite is the dreamy and unexpected PERFECTLY A STRANGENESS. just a lovely & bizarre juxtaposition of two different worlds. 110
francisco @drspam.bsky.social · 26/02/2026KOKUHO has some brilliant, vigorous, and absolutely transfixing displays of kabuki stagecraft. but it’s also stuffed with melodrama that makes the whole thing feel a bit like a chore. my cultural illiteracy is a stumbling block for sure, but it IS still 3 hours long, and sure feels that way. 19 left 120
francisco @drspam.bsky.social · 26/02/202620 nominees might seem like a typo, and that’s because i forgot to mention having watched the mediocre but sweet VIVA VERDI!, about a milanese retirement community for aging musicians. we should all be so lucky to live in a society that values the arts this way. 20 to go… again? 110
francisco @drspam.bsky.social · 26/02/2026SONG SUNG BLUE may not be great, but it’s got some charm to it as well, and it’s a WAY better way to pass 2 hours than the state of the union speech, which is empty theater even on a good day. 20 nominees to go. 110

francisco @drspam.bsky.social · 12/02/2026the action direction in THE LOST BUS is excellent, but the characters insist on diminishing the experience by saying words. the VFX nom is well deserved, though i wonder what sins the matchmovers committed in a past life to be handed 130 minutes of paul greengrass shaky cam. 23 nominees left! 110
