Oscars 2023: The Odds and Ends
Welcome to Oscars week! Over the next five days, we’ll be running through each of the 20 feature categories at the 96th Academy Awards, bestowing upon you our predictions, preferences, and assorted grievances. Will our analysis be rooted in a painstaking combination of industry buzz and historical research? Not remotely. But it’s important to go on record with these things, if only to have the receipts. Ten years after every Oscars, people invariably say things like, “How could the Academy not have nominated that guy for that movie??” Well, unless you file your own contemporaneous ballot before each ceremony as I do, I hereby decree your grumbling invalid.
Today we’re running through six miscellaneous categories—the fields that no normal human cares about, but which might make a difference in your Oscars pool (do people still do Oscar pools?). Let’s get to it.
