Jesus, this is even more depressing than initially thought.

Indy as far as I understand, is more of an exploration focused Immersive Sim like Prey or Dishonored. Not the biggest Indy fan, but I love that shit, and plan on playin when it comes to PS5.
That was a stacked year, and I would've been happy with like 5 of those nominees, including Shape of Water, winning BP. Is it Del Toro's best film, no, but it's a lovely passion project that's an amalgamation of his best qualities as a filmmaker.
I got 19/23 on the ballot at my friend's party. Missed all the shorts and editing. Unfortunately KY doesn't allow betting on the Oscars!! Or fortunately, I'm not always this on top of it lol
The last person to win four oscars in one night? Walt Disney in 1954.
Hugely happy for Sean Baker. He's been an incredible filmmaker for 20 years, and really deserves this.
No Other Land winning best doc is deeply deserved and Yuval and Basel's speech will go down as one of the most important in Oscar history. I teared up. Absolutely incredible moment.
