ICYMI - The Academy’s 16th Governors Awards were last night. Tom Cruise now has an Honorary Oscar.

He still probably should have won Best Supporting Actor in 1999 for Magnolia. Did Michael Caine REALLY need a second Oscar….for The Cider House Rules?

Well that's unfortunate choice (not Caine, but Cruise )

Bugonia, F1, Frankenstein, and Train Dreams did better than I thought that they would.

WHOA! Erivo snubbed!

That was a shock.

I also just realized that Avatar: Fire and Ash got basically ignored. Was it not screened anywhere? And the critics apparently forgot that Sentimental Value is a foreign language film.

The Golden Globe nominations will be announced on Monday.
