98th Academy Awards Predictions

98th Academy Awards Oscar statue

It’s Oscar season, folks, so it’s time for me to post my predictions for the 98th Academy Awards. I didn’t do very well last year; I hope I can change that this year.

There is a new category this year, “achievement in casting”. This category is long overdue. There have been some great casting choices, and the folks responsible for those decisions deserve recognition. There are countless movies where I’ve said, “So-and-so was a great casting choice”. The right person in the right role can really affect how the audience relates to the movie.

Again, I have not had the opportunity to see all the movies on the list, but I’ve tried; they are my picks for Drama Month. Look for that post early next month. Believe it or not, of all the movies I saw in theaters last year, none were nominated. You can head over to the Oscars website to see the list of nominees.

The Mandalorian and Grogu Official Trailer

In Star Wars, The Mandalorian

Lucasfilm teased us yesterday (Feb 16th) that a full trailer would be released today. For some reason, they are still posting teaser trailers for trailers. I don’t get it. Regardless, here is the Mandalorian and Grogu official trailer.

This trailer had me at R2-D2! Then we saw Zeb, and then we saw another Ardennian (the last time we saw one was Rio from the Solo movie). I’m excited for this movie!

Din Djarin said he is looking for a Hutt. I wonder if he means Ezra (IYKYK). Anyway, I’m going to go watch this like six or seven more times.

UPDATE: I just learned that the swol Hutt in the trailer is Rotta, Jabba’s son.

The Mandalorian and Grogu will be in theaters on May 22nd.

SciFi Month (2026) – Terminated

Arnold as the Terminator

For Science Fiction month, I decided to finally watch all of the Terminator movies. This series has quite the tumultuous history. The first two movies are written and directed by James Cameron. He wanted to do a third movie, but he lost the rights in an auction in 1997. After the release of the third film, the rights were sold again.

Terminator Salvation was released in 2003, and then the company filed for bankruptcy. Terminator Genisys was initially intended to be the first installment of a new trilogy before James Cameron regained the rights in 2019. However, the idea was scrapped after its low performance at the box office. Terminator: Dark Fate is produced by James Cameron and was also intended to be the first installment of a new trilogy. The project was scrapped for the same reason.

As a result of all this, the franchise is disjointed and incongruent. Does that affect their entertainment value?

ICYMI: The Fourth Avenger’s Doomday Teaser

In Marvel, Movies

I’m getting mixed details about the number of teaser trailers Avenger’s Doomsday will have. I thought there would only be four, but I’m seeing there will be six in some places. Be that as it may, in case you missed it, here is the fourth (and final?) Avenger’s Doomsday teaser trailer.

These two are not a huge surprise. We knew the Wakandans story isn’t finished, and we just had the newest iteration of the Fantastic Four. It’s a fun trailer, but it doesn’t quite have the dramatic flair of the previous teasers.

If there are more trailers, I’ll post them. I think the next teaser we get will be one for the full movie, which is still about 10 months away.

Avengers Doomsday: X-Men

The third teaser trailer for the Avengers: Doomsday movie dropped, and this time it’s the X-Men. It should be no surprise that we are getting the X-Men; it’s been teased for quite a while. The question is, who will be back?

This might be Sir Patrick Stewart’s final film. I thought I read somewhere that he is considering retirement. He will be 86 years old this year. I probably need to go back and watch all the X-Men movies again, just to remind myself of where things were left.

Anyway, Marvel is doing well to build the hype, and I’m anxious to see the first official trailer for this movie. We have a long time to wait; the release date is set for November.
