I voted for Extraction just because of that one long take scene, but you can't be mad at Tenet taking home our equivalent of best action movie. Nolan is a God around here for good reason.

Best Cinematography is up next.

As I said before, cinema is a visual medium. So figuring out where to put the lights, cameras and action is basically the most important job you can have.

The nominees for Best Cinematography are:

-Mank
-Nomadland
-Promising Young Woman
-Tenet


And the KJ goes to..

I voted for PYM (which was 3 back alongside Nomadland), but again its hard to argue with Tenet considering how difficult that must have been to produce.

Next will be best editing.

Editing is the difference between a good mvoie and a good movie. And spending hours watching the same scenes over and over again while making minute changes to improve them is alot more challenging than people outside the biz would probably assume. They are the real heroes.

The nominees for Best Editing are:

-The Father
-The Gentlemen
-I'm Thinking Of Ending Things
-Nomadland
-Promising Young Woman
-Tenet
-The Trial Of The Chicago 7

Tenet continues to mop up the tech awards. And despite seven nominees, this one wasn't any closer than the others. PYW was a whopping five votes behind.

Gee lets try a category that Tenet can't win. Best Foreign Language Film will be up next.

Not too surprising. I think it would have won anyways, but this is a box office forum after all and all eyes have been on Japan the last few months. If anything, it is surprising that WWY did not get a BP nomination (and it wasn't even close.)

Next will be Scariest Horror

Boo! Are you scared? Yeah me neither. After all we've seen, its hard to get us KJers to jump anymore. Plus, what could possibly be scarier than what actually happened this year? Well, watch these films and find out. It could always be worse....

The nominees for Scariest Horror are:

-Freaky
-The Invisible Man
-Possessor
-The Wretched

Strong win for Invisible Here. Freaky was doing OK for awhile, but fell behind too far. I think that film could have just as easily been nominated for Best Comedy anyways. There's really nothing funny about Invisible Man, besides maybe the one scene where the young girl pepper sprays him and he collapses into all her stuff.


Next will be Best Animated!

Paul McCartney gave my favorite academy speech of all time regarding the Best Animated Picture. I'll try not to mess it up.


"Animated movies are not just for children. They are also for adults ... on drugs."


The nominees for Best Animated Film are...

-Onward
-Soul
-Weathering With You
-Wolfwalkers

You'd think that one was a no brainer, but WWY was actually leading for a good amount of the time. Soul ended up winning by a decent amount when the later ballots came in though.

Next up will be Best Documentary

Feature length docs can be tough if you aren't totally into the subject. It's why this category is never all that popular around here unless we have a blockbuster like Free Solo or The King of Kong. We actually got a healthy amount of votes for it this year. Maybe a trapped audience is just what this subgenre needs to breakthrough. To. The. Moon!!!!!


The nominees for Best Documentary are:

-Crip Camp
-Miss Americana
-My Octopus Teacher
-Zappa

I voted for the octopus, but obviously am not going to be mad about Taylor Swift winning. Especially after how gracefully she took her loss earlier in the night.

The Funniest Comedy will be up next!

Hopefully Tenet’s not done for the night, is this the most wins for a Nolan movie so far?

Comedy gets harder and harder by the year as you are just as likely to be cancelled as celebrated. Makes me respect these people all the more. They find ways to make us laugh without resorting to bottom of the barrell shit that nobody wants to hear about anymore. If the racists and the woke could just get together with The Lonely Island and Judd Apatow we'd have so much less conflict in this world.

The nominees for Funniest Comedy are:

-Borat Subsequent Movie Film
-Happiest Season
-The King of Staten Island
-Palm Springs

Palm Springs gets its win back and after jobbing out to King of Staten Island in most of the bigger categories during the nominations process. I loved both so would have been fine either way.

We're getting to the big categories! Next will be Best Score!

The Dark Knight and Inception were both running game if I recall correctly. I think they'd still be ahead even if Tenet wins every other awards its nominated for (but I can't confirm that.)
