2023 Oscar Predictions: Best Actor - For Your Consideration 

Austin Butler!!!! The winner.

I think Austin butler should win the Oscar

Austin Butler nailed Elvis...if Rami could win for Freddie....Austin did much more than Rami....the voice, the moves, the essence and spirit of Elvis....he was astonishing. He didn't do an impersonation of Elvis. Nor, a caricature of him. He caught his humanity. I love Brendan, but. Austin more than deserves an Oscar. The whole internet is buzzing about him

I thought Austin Butler was a lock for winning after watching Elvis

If Austin Butler doesn’t win then it’s a travesty!

I think Austin deserves the Oscar. He didn't play Elvis he embodied him. The performance was way beyond what I could have expected. For Denzel Washington to give his seal of approval on Austin speaks volumes. I am hoping the Oscar's get it right. My only dear is the fact Ramni winning it for playing Freddie Mercury might stop them from giving it to him even tho he deserves it.

Austin Butler should win, actually the Movie ELVIS should sweep the Academy Awards

I need to comment in this catalog Austin Butler SHOULD WIN hands down no he's not a jet pilot again he is a supremely incredible actor embodying the ' "the most famous man on the planet" Elvis Presley Austin was destined to play Elvis 3years of his life was put into studying everything Elvis the WORLD is anticipating Austin winning the Oscar for the magnificent performance he did as Elvis Remember Elvis"s Aloha from Hawaii was watched by 1.5 BILLION people one night! 1 out of every 3 poeple in the world watched this special what does it matter Austin doesnt have "the back catalog" ? HE is INCREDIBLE!!! EVERYONE I know has seen ELVIS multiple times unheard of!! myself included I have never seen a movie in the theater and I AM A THEATER GOER! more than once this movie I"ve seen this movie SEVERAL TIMES!! ELVIS AND AUSTIN BUTLER have brought hoards of people back to the theater! this movie will be epic it will be remembered forver as the BEST PORTRAYAL OF ELVIS PRESLEY Maybe its me but a super hyped up revisited jet pilot cannot in any way compare what Austin has done 3 yrs of his life devoted to this role away from family and friends.. Like his auition was different from all other actors so natural and such feeling is what got Baz Luhrmans attention as well as Denzel Washington's call to Baz absolutely recommending Austin to be his Elvis. this wasnt spectacular special effects THIS WAS SPECTACULAR ACTING from the 1st minute to the last! changing not only looks but voice changes of Elvis over a period of 20 years! COME ON GUYS it doesnt matter how young Austin is REMEMBER PATTI DUKE IN THE MIRACLE WORKER ? what difference does age make when the talent is there! dont get me wrong I really liked Top Gun ONCE!!!I I'm sure Brendan Fraser is fantastik in Whale but AUSTIN BUTLER KNOCKED THIS OUT OF THE PARK! IN know regular!! people who have seen ELVIS 7 10 36 and 41 times! MIND BOGGLING! I"m ready and so are MANY of so are many of my friends to see it AGAIN in the theater when the theaters feature Oscar nominated pictures again I CANT WAIT!! ELVIS is a theater movie! friends like me who have HBOMAX also went to the theater THEN came home and watched it on TV Cruise was smart to just leave it in the theater so you COULDNT watch it at home!! SMART!! STILL no comparrison to Austin Butler's ELVIS check out the thought around the world right now ! literally AROUND THE WORLD1 ITS TIME GUYS!

I hope Austin butler wins the best actor Oscar of 2023

There's no actor in the movies this year, or maybe ever, who worked so hard as Austin Butler did, for two years, living , breathing and consuming all that was Elvis., down to the graceful movement of his hands. Denzel called Baz and told him he had worked with him and he had the best work ethic he had seen. That helped Baz along in making his decision among all of those who were trying out for the part. Though Baz says he had already pretty much decided. Austin took away part of his life to capture this role of the hardest man there is, Elvis Presley, to try and get the essence of him properly. I went in not believing he could do it. He did. He deserves an Oscar if ever anyone did.

My Predictions (as of now) Austin Butler - Elvis Brandon Fraser - The Whale Colin Farrell - The Banshees of Inisherin Hugh Jackson - The Son Bill Nighy - Living Possible: Gabriel Labelle - The Fabelmans

Absolutely Austin Butler should be considered. I’ve heard from many people that they forgot they were actually watching an actor, and I for one, pretty much forgot what Elvis looked like until Unchained Melody. It’s sad that Rami Malek won, and he didn’t sing anything in his movie, whereas, Austin sang all of the early Elvis, and his voice was combined with Elvis for the remaining songs, except Unchained Melody. !

Austin bulter deserves the Oscar best movie I even seem

AUSTIN BUTLER - best actor, TOM HANKS best supporting and BAZ LUHRMANN for directing and writing....PERIOD

When it comes to ACTING I dont think anyone can compare to Austin Butler its hard to believe you are not actually seeing ELVIS IN EVERY ASPECT OF HIS LIFE! I have NEVER been to see a movie more than once no matter how much I liked it Ive seen ELVIS 25 times a d would go 25 more if I could Ive known so many people who have seen this movie MULTIPLE times1 I AM A THEATER GOER! this is where I prefer my movies not TV I have friends who are absolutely blowm awasy by Austin's portrayal! what does it matter how YOUNG Butler is? this guy LIVED THIS PORTRAYAL! i PERSONALLY just think Top Gun is a hi tech movie not particullarly an ACTING MOVIE I personally! believe another actor could ALSO have played his part, Austin Butler is ACTING!!! From the very first moment to the LAST!! NO went dont have jets flying throughout the movie just a superbably talented actor taking you body and soul into this movie talk about bringing people back to the movies this movie did just that!! We are waiting for ELVIS to return during Oscar time so we can go AGAIN! do you people have ANY IDEA how many fans WORLDWIDE!! have seen this movie multiple times Japan UK Brazil Holland Argentina Norway and so on and so on To not recognize Butler for this would be a travesty there are people threartening to riot if he doesnt win have you heard that of Cruises Top Gun?ELVIS was in the theater for 3 months the reason Top Gun was there longer is because THEY WOULDNT RELEASE IT FOR THE HOME! the last time I saw Elvis the theater manager said ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING! and they were so disappointed even the theater staff loved the movie, I could go on and on I've had people say they will remember this movie like they would Titanic the Godfather GWTW! TOP GUN NOT A CHANCE!

Austin definitely deserves the Oscar he didn't play Elvis, he BECAME Elvis, he truly delivered a perfect performance.

Austin Butler’s acting in Elvis was riveting! He’s beyond Oscar-worthy, he’s Oscar-winning. Can’t stop watching him in Elvis movie.

Perri, once you see Elvis I have a feeling you will change your mind. Austin Butler's performance is pretty undeniable. & WB is already campaigning HARD for him. It's definitely going to be neck & neck between Fraser & Butler with Farrell close behind.

Austin Butler was wonderful! I was not sure he would capture Elvis...but he certainly did! I felt I was not watching someone impersonate Elvis..I was actually watching Elvis...he was that good!

I’d love to see Tom Cruise get Nominated but it would be amazing to see him win, I would love it if he won. However I just liked Austin Butlers performance more than anyones this year that I’ve managed to see yet.

Elvis Elvis Elvis

Jeff and Mantz’s dance when talking about Tom Cruise made me laugh!

OMG I kept hearing “Bill Nye” as opposed to “Bill Nighy”!!! I was so curious about what this movie was with a Bill Nye career turning performance! 😂

My current GoldDerby predictions (as of October 29th): 5. Diego Calva (Babylon) (got him at 100/1 odds!!!) 4. Tom Cruise (Top Gun: Maverick) 3. Colin Farrell (The Banshees of Inisherin) 2. Austin Butler (Elvis) 1. Brendan Fraser (The Whale) Other strong possibilites in my mind: Hugh Jackman (The Son), Jeremy Pope (The Inspection), Bill Nighy (Living), Song Kang-ho (Broker) Outside shots: Paul Mascal (Aftersun), Jim Parsons (Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies), Adam Driver (White Noise), Will Smith (Emancipation), Timotheé Chalamet (Bones and All), Park Hae-il (Decision to Leave)

12:23-12:41 timestamp to Scott and Jeff vibing to the concept of Tom Cruise being nominated for Top Gun: Maverick while Perri sits there looking awkward/amused

Its a 2 man race between Austin Butler and Frasier!

Gotta add something Perri don’t let anyone Shame you for Liking Top Gun maverick. Never. We got your back. You belong in the squadron ❤

Austin Butler gave the definitive portrayal of Elvis Presley! 👍

Will Smith not being nominated isn't about consequences, it's about the Academy wanting to save face.

Great talk guys, really excited whenever the bell rings to a new video! o/ As right now i have: Brendan Fraser - The Whale Austin Butler - Elvis Collin Farrel - The Banshees of Inisheerin Diego Calva - Babylon Tom Cruise - Top Gun Maverick

Colin Farrell has 4 great movies. People forget about Thirteen Lives

Austin has been acting almost 20 years. He's a veteran, you can tell by his acting level. Nothing throws him. Brendan Fraser as best actor in a fat suit over Austin becoming elvis in every way, is ludicrous. My gosh I dont want to see a movie about a huge fat man. No one has even seen the whale. It all seems very political.

I want Austin Butler to win over Brendan Fraser. Austin's job was much more difficult than Fraser's because Elvis is the most impersonated person of all time, yet Elvis didn't feel like an impersonation because Austin transcended the role. In my opinion, the Whale was not a great film and not many people saw it. Brendan is wearing a fat suit which does a lot of the work for him.

I'm with Scott and his Top Gun Maverick love - I'm curious to see if last year's presumed weariness of heavy movies (based on CODA performance) carries into this year's awards. It could see TG Maverick maybe exceeding nomination/winning predictions. Scott and I seem to be in the same age range (Gen X) and TG Maverick did an incredible job of pushing all of the right buttons with me also. I've rewatched it more times than I admit and Cruise sells the hell out of that performance. The character and performance really tap into what Maverick might have been like 30+ years later showing the scars of life.

I think if I watch Emancipation and Will Smith's performance is so good that I don't think, at any point, of him slapping Chris Rock, he'd have my vote.

Top gun Maverick was 21 weeks in the box office best picture and best actor for Tom Cruise👍👍🔥🔥🔥 Scott & Jeff

Austin Butler......hands down!

Great show as usual! The Will Smith topic is sensitive, specially in the US, but I think over time he will be forgiven. He needs to give his all in this campaign and show remorse (maybe go to Oprah?) and then people may be able to move on and nominate him. When it comes to separating the art from the artist, it's not easy, and I think it depends on the person and what they did. I haven't seen any Polanski film since Carnage because of his past, I don't feel comfortable watching his movies. But Woody Allen always comes up in these conversations and I think it's unfair. He was never convicted for any crime, he has worked for 50 years in Hollywood and not one single person has ever complained about him, but I think in the US, giving him the benefit of the doubt makes you look bad so you have to follow the wave of reject. I love his movies and will continue to watch them. Love that you're pushing for Cruise in Lead Actor Scott! It was so nice to see you at Sitges Film Festival and talk about the Oscars with you. I didn't tell you, but I have a RU-vid channel where I analyse the awards season, and For Your Consideration inspires me to keep going and do better content every week.

Great show all. Love seeing you together again!

I don’t see the Academy giving Will Smith the nomination, how can they celebrate a man who disrespected the stage. He’ll get a Golden Globe, he can go for the BAFTA, but the Academy would look silly banning Will Smith from the ceremony for assaulting a person on stage, and then a year later showing clips of his performance and clapping all night for him. BUT…as Jeff Sneider said, nothing is unforgivable in Hollywood, and that’s why average people can’t stand Hollywood.

Thank you guys for this amazing videos!! Love you Perri!!!

I think Paul Mescal for Aftersun should be in the conversation! He is truly amazing!

Really enjoy these videos! Thank you for making them. A lot of fun and entertaining.

colin Ferrell?! Come on! AUSTIN BUTLER! 100%!

I’ve actually heard way more negative about The Son than I have positive.

I hope aleast Nominations For Tom Cruise For Top Gun: Maverick And Austin Butler For Elvis.

The fact Perri hasn't seen Banshees yet explains why she's got Brendan Gleeson in her number 5 slot on her Gold Derby (at least last time I checked). When you see Banshees, Perri, I think there's a good chance you'll move him into your number 1 slot. And maybe even add Barry Keoghan in as well. I hope you get to see it soon!

Love your podcast guys!

Austin Butler BEST ACTOR ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Love FYC being back! Another great video

As with best picture and actress I’m going with my heart on this 1. Mason Thames the Black Phone 2. Park Hae-il Decision to leave 3. Brendan Fraser the Whale 4. Jonathan Majors Devotion 5. Aaron Pierre Brother

The fact that Perri hasn't seen Banshees of inisherin and Elvis yet, how come she's qualified to predict this when 2 of the best actor performances are in these 2 movies!!! And she said that Austin Butler's gonna get bumped out of this race is totally injustice. See the movie first girl, before giving your opinion!!!

i have seen the need to note did I like Top Gun sure it was great! BUT did anyone go to the theater for a second time? NO!! as many movies I have liked I have NEVER gone a second time UNTIL ELVIS!!!! As far as bringing people BACK to the theater ELVIS IS IT! People WORLD WIDE LITERALLY have seen this movie MULTIPLE times! I dont know of ANYONE who'se seen ELVIS ONCE!! People who were NOT opriginally Elvs fans have gone to see the movie oUT of curiosity and have become obsessesd with Elvis since since viewing the movie and are returning over andn over again! AGE should not define the winner! ELVIS (AUSTIN) actually becomes eincarnates Elvis HIS ACTING IS SURREAL so extremely talented to have viewers actually believing their watching Elvis Live from the 19 year old Elvis to 25 to 30 to 40 yr old Elvis Austin is uncanny!! to me Tom Criuise is Tom Cruise thats it you should really do your research and interview viewers from AROUND THE WORLD!!! LITERALLY!!! people from Italy Chile Norway Argentino Japan UK ETC ETC This movie has introduced millenials plus those who really didnt KNOW the complete man ELVIS PRESLEY and aren absolutely blown away and have become new obsessed fans ALL DUE TO THIS PHENOMENAL MOVIE the age should be MEANINGLESS when it comes to ability! To me Top Gun is just an visual hi tech movie dont think Cruises "acting" comes anywhere near Austin Butler this actor LIVED Elvis Presley and as acting goes BECAME HIM!! I have seen DJs young DJs who have seen the movie and are now huge Elvis fans Tom Cruise in Top Gun is Tom Cruise any movie dont really amazing outstanding rivetting acting Ausin Butler on the other hand as Denzel Washington has said is an actor with work ethics like no other so true that he actually called Baz Luhrman to recommend Austin telling him this is the person you want, he'd worked with Denzel in THE ICE MAN COMETH and completely astonished him. Austin's acting is like NO OTHER! Went to a Halloween event with friends later at dinner what were we discusing? the ELVIS MOVIE!! the very young waiter had heard our conversatiion and wanted to talk to us MORE about the movie He had scene it he's 22 yrs pld loved it and is NOW AN ELVIS fan becausenof Austin and the movie Tom Cruise isnt even a close second! he plays the same type of role EVERY time good but definitely not spectacular acting its JUST CRUISE!! THE ELVIS MOVIE has moved people of ALL AGES world wide. they say Fraser should win especially because he;s been around longer thats ridiculous! what does that matter when Butler's acting is so superb? I'm sure he's great in Whale but I believe he should be #2 Butler's speaking voice his mannerisms his hand movements plus his actually singing voice the changes he had to go thru and capture it all terriically is SO FAR ABOVE A JET FIGHTER PILOT NO CHANGES THERE just something we've seen before sure hope you re review this movie NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE DESERVES IT M,ORE THAN AUSTIN!! THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME RANT! from a theater goer!

Perri Nemiroff Thanks Much !

Paul Mescal is my choice. I liked Butler as Elvis but after Aftersun… Mescal is it for me.

Perri has not even seen ELViS yet she has totally discounted Austin Butler? Really? ...and she is a critic?? This segment does not make sense.

Why is this lady ranking anybody, specially talking about Austin Butler and his performance in ELVIS, she hasn't even seen the movie. See it first & then will talk, tell then I will just take your comments about your ranking with a grain of salt!!

Here are my thoughts on the video, which was an excellent discussion: 1. If Smith delivers a brilliant performance, he should without question be eligible/consider for Best Actor. As far as I can see, no charges were filed against him. Chris Rock suffered no injuries from the incident. The Academy banned him from the ceremony and events for the next 10 years (I doubt that will stand). There's no reason to punish him further. We shouldn't pretend that Smith is guilty of something equal to statuary rape or going anti-Semitic while drink. 2. Why aren't you guys talking about All Quiet on the Western Front and Decision to Leave? The Academy has been very favorable toward non-English language films and performances for at least the last five years. 3. For the last 11 seasons, the Best Actor winner was attached to a Best Picture nominee. The more I hear about The Whale, the less confident I am in getting a Best Picture nomination. I am actually thinking that Austin Butler has the best chance of winning it all and going to the Rami Malek route. 4. My early bird is Butler, Cruise, Farrell, Fraser, and Nighy.

I’ve said it once, and I’m gonna say it again: Austin Butler has a good shot because his performance was so great!

My list: 1. Brendan Fraser (The Whale) 2. Austin Butler (Elvis) 3. Colin Farrell (The Banshees of Inisherin) 4. Bill Nighy (Living) 5. Diego Calva (Babylon) Next in line: Hugh Jackman (The Son), Tom Cruise (Top Gun: Maverick) and Song Kang-ho (Broker)

Great show as always! Thanks Perri, Scott, and Jeff. FYC gets better every year 🎃

Brando refused the Oscar in 1972 for The Godfather much to the chagrin of the Academy nevertheless he was nominated again the following year in 1973 for Last Tango in Paris.

Not sold on Tom Cruise getting in. At all.

I don’t see it happening for Will Smith. His behavior last year may be too much for some voters to look past.

How can you have Austin Butler over Tom Cruise... but you haven't even seen Elvis? Perri's top 5 doesn't make sense when she hasn't even seen the movies...

I think it's kind of a sad reflection on how anglocentric the Oscars are that Song Kang-ho for Broker (who won best actor at Cannes) and Park Hae-il for Decision to Leave aren't even in contention.

Honestly I’m goin against the grain and hope Either Colin Farrell or Austin Butler end up Winning. I haven’t seen The Whale but Brendan Fraser would seem like a Sentimental pick. I’ve seen his dramatic work and it’s great but not Amazing. The word for Colin Farrell having no Oscar Noms is CRIMINAL. The Thing with Austin Butler’s performance is it’s way better than Rami Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody, that’s something you can only see if you watch the movie. Definitely Tom Cruise should get nominated, loved Top Gun Maverick, my favorite movie so far.

My Top 5 Actor are as follows 1:Vrendon Frazer (The Whale) I haven't seen it yet 2:Colin Farrell (The Banshees of Inishirin 3:Austin Butler (Elvis) 4:Will Smith (Emancipation) I haven't seen Yet 5:Tom Cruise (Top Gun:Maverick HM's Bill Nighy (Loving) Ralph Fiennes (The Menue ) I haven't seen this yet, Paul Dano (The Fablemans) I gave t seen yet, , Tom Hanks (A Man Called Otto) I haven't Seen Yet

I need to continue there are vibes EVERYWHERE that if Austin doesnt win people will NEVER WATCH the awards again you mentioned hes new and young SO WHAT I thought this had to do with TALLENT! t the ELVIS movie is EPIC!! its the one people will refer to in years to come THAT as opposed to Fraser playing a 600lb man and dealing with his feeling WATCH THE TV SHOW! thats what its all about after that trailer I cant believe it!! As far as age and BACK CATALOG is concerned how about 14 year old PATTI DUKE MIRACLE WORKER how about 9 year old TATUM ONEAL PAPER MOON How big was their BACK CATALOG!! Come on guys and girl get real!!

i absolutely NEED to enter in this into this review i CANNOT REALLY BELIEVE your comparing Brendan Fraser"s performance in ThenWhale to Austin Butler"s SUPERB PHENOMENAL PORTRAYAL OF ELVIS PRESLEY from 19 years old to 42 years old Austin became Elvis AND he actually sang I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw the trailer of The Whale are yu all serious? there's a TV SHOW called MY 600 LB LIFE ON REGULARLY WEEKLY!! THIS !! is what you're comparing Austin thats got to be a joke A 600LB man and his relationship with his son??You can see that scenario on tv every week and they're REal people some aree 1000lbs THIS should get an academy award over some one who spent 3 years studying obsessing to actua;lly BELIEVABLY BECOME ELVIS PRESLEY Voice changes hand movements mannerisms you actually thought you were esperiencing Elvis Live!!

Great show! You three rock Hope ppl don’t forget Aron Pierre or Austin Butler

Lets address the Elephant in the room: YES! If I am the jury and I really loved the movie "Emancipation" and Will Smith performance in it, then for sure I will nominate him in the top 5 for Best Actor. Not Only that, If he is really good among the rest four, then I think he should WIN in that category too. Lets not belittle someones efforts as an actor for his extraordinary perfotrmance over a sour incident, for which he has been already banned for 10Years from attending the Oscars as a punishment. So, if he WINs again, the award should be accepted by the Host mentioning the BAN and respecting the ART.

I hope Colin Farrell gets it

This man from bellow is always otherwise My Predictions: Brendan Fraser(The Whale) Colin Farell(The Banshees of Inisherin) Austin Butler(Elvis) Bill Nighy(Living) Ricardo Dárin(Argentina 1985) Possible:Will Smith,Paul Mescal or Jeremy Pope

Yes it’s Austin Butler

"It ain't Best Human!" Good one Jeff! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love you all so much... i never have oscar talk with anyone so this is just the best !!!

Just love FYC. Thanks Perri for hosting this on your channel. In regards to Will Smith I don't see him getting him a nomination for best actor this year because of the slap but Jeff is right that is the white elephant in the room. If he does that will certainly make best actor category very interesting. Imagine all the discussion on podcasts like this regarding does he have a chance to win or should he win because his is the best performance?

RE: the Margot Robbie thing... It was just after Michelle Williams got moved to Actress that a bunch of people on Film Twitter jokingly said that Margot should move to Supporting so she'd have a better chance of winning. But the filmmakers and everyone involved with Babylon have always said that she's the lead actress in the movie and would be submitted accordingly.

Love you guys!!! As for Will Smith I don’t think he’s getting nominated. People are still so upset over the slap.

If emancipation is amazing and wills performance is perfect. Id nominate him.

The last part of this video could be an end credit scene to Tar lol

perri how about SEEING the ELVIS movie?? then review

Brian and Charles, Elvis, the inspection, living, emergency, thirteen lives, banshees of Inisharan, Devotion, Cha Cha Real smooth, top Gun, All quiet on the western front, decision to leave, white noise, pale blue eye, the whale, the Fablemans, triangle of Sadness, brother, bones and All… How is this is weak field. To me this is a lot of choices I would have a hard time narrowing it down.

Sad that there is no consideration for the tremendous Paul Mescal in Aftersun, the best reviewed film of the year.

is it not Perris work see movies? how on earth hasnt she seen Elvis

Also Paramount issued incorrect category placements for Pitt and Calva. They fixed it 24 hours later. Calva is indeed Lead and Pitt is Supporting.

Tom Cruise is absolutely getting Nominated this Year for Best Actor!!!! That was a MOVIE STAR PERFORMANCE!!!!!

Will smith has been punished enough, if it’s good and he’s good nominate him……people acting like he’s the devil. Why is the black man have to be the one to be punished and seen as a change in Hollywood for bad behaviour.

Perri, you caaaan't be sooo cuuute

Surprised Dano or someone from the Fablemans wasn't mentioned. It got so much buzz for best picture.

Scott: when Williams decided to campaign in Lead there was much speculation that Robbie would switch to Supporting; it was never confirmed, people (i.e. Feinberg and Neglia) made incorrect assumptions.

Paul Mescal in Aftersun!

Love FYC!

how is it fair that she’s able to rate actors but not have seen the movies

Look... I've been watching the Academy Awards for 40 years and I think that if we penalized everyone for mistakes they made for the rest of their lives we would never let anyone be forgiven. I can relate to what Will Smith did in a way but I feel strongly if this is a great performance he should be nominated for best actor. Scott, you mentioned three great examples with Roman Polanski, Mel Gibson, and Woody Allen. I don't think what Will Smith did was as bad as what they all did. Is that being said how long do you let what he did simmer before giving him another nomination? That's the question in this day and age. I for one can't wait to see Emancipation.

I’d love to see Butler win the Oscar and Top Gun winning best picture. I just put £10 on Maverick at 25/1 to win the Oscar this far out.

Rewatched past FYC best actor prediction video. And I love all three of you.. but sadly this might be the worst episode of FYC. Either someone didn’t see the movies,or you talked about preformances that have no chance of a nomination, several films were not mentioned, and as usual the category itself was deemed weak.. And when u did talk about a actor it was basically just you three making fun of their work or talking about Will Smith about a movie none of you three have seen. Honestly very disappointed in this episode. 🙁. But hope the next one is back to your usual awesome standards

Love this show so much! Always look forward to your opinions and FYC is my most trusted Oscar source every season! With the question regarding rewarding Will Smith, I do feel like it will be too soon after the slap for Academy members to want to vote for him. Maybe in 10 years, sure. But with every nomination every season, there I a narrative surrounding the actor, the studio's campaign, and their role/performance. It will be interesting to see the campaign that Apple puts forth if they do for Will Smith to be considered for a nomination. Overall, Hollywood is reckoning with a near century history of extremely shady behaviour that is far, far worst than what was portrayed on screen at the Oscars during what should have been the biggest night of Smith's career. However, I do not think the Academy will be able to move past this moment that happened during the Oscar telecast even if his performance in Emancipation is excellent. I did see The Son at tiff. It was truly terrible and such a disappointment after The Father was so stellar. It will be a disservice to Hugh Jackman if he gets a nomination. A very generic and surface-level script that is so predictable. I cannot believe the person who wrote this also wrote The Father!!

One mistake shouldn’t cloud the lot of good will smith has done. He was wrong and he’s been punished but come on.
