Ok, young talk aside (I’m assuming they’re younger by the speech), and at some points they don’t actually say what their favorite in a category is, this was…
Actually pretty rational for the usual honest ballots? I was expecting something more batshit.

The voter doesn't actually say who he's voting in most categories, just who he thinks will win.

I was expecting something more batshit. Same. I haven't read any in recent years, but the anonymous ballots that used to get published were usually from people with the most shallow and absurd reasoning for each category. This person is at least well-thought-out. |

Yeah, I miss when these were actually brutally honest and funny rather than just someone giving what is a completely reasonable and at times intelligent analysis of each category.

I'm sure we're gonna get the crazies soon. Hope so! I just feel like they’ve gotten increasingly tame over the last few years. I miss when they were like, “They shot The Revenant outside! Who was the production designer, God!?” That’s good shit. |

I wonder if they are basing "Colman... she's probably going to win" on anything?? I've actually been seeing a lot more support for Cruz than anyone else. |

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!?! Is it to say she’s not Latinx because she has a standard sounding name? So she needs to have a more “Latina” sounding name to be considered TRUE Latina? Is it to downplay her ethnicity? Is he basing it on the fact she was born in America? What is the thinking here? It makes NO SENSE whatsoever. What the hell is going on? Also, love the casual jingoism of saying Drive My Car should stay in International, that Andrew Garfield pushed himself by donning an American accent (gee, he’s never done that before  ), and this… There’s quite a bit wrong with this, but West Side Story big and noisy? It didn’t advance the story? Also, unrealistic literally ONLY applies to Dune, since it’s the only one that kind of matches his criteria, even though that’s unfair, given that it’s deliberately ROOTED in being fantastical. I don’t know what to say. |

Why do these anonymous ballots always sound extremely racist?

Why do these anonymous ballots always sound extremely racist? Because anyone with the common name Rachel surely CAN’T be of Latino descent |

ew.com/awards/oscars/2022-oscars-secret-ballot/I can’t get over how obnoxious and shallow the Director is. They didn’t watch certain because “boring white guy” but they loved Dune? My guesses as to who it is: Justin Simien or Alfonso Gomez-Rejon.

"I only got halfway through The Lost Daughter. I didn't like the film, but I still voted for Olivia Colman because she scared the crap out of me. As a mother, I understand how hard it is to be a mother."
- Wow genius level intellect.

This Director sure brings up Zola a lot. Convenient.
Also, how the fuck does a DIRECTOR, who would seem like the most eloquent and passionate in their discussion of film, sound like a bratty teenager taking to an angry Twitter thread.
I howled when the other four, at least attempting to show some decorum, addressed Kodi Smit-McPhee by his proper name, but the Director just calls him the gay cowboy kid. WTF XD

I keep seeing this sentiment about Power of the Dog where Brokeback Mountain did it so much better...but these movies are completely different, except for the shared similarity of having gay cowboys. Is there not room for more than one gay cowboy movie?

Is there not room for more than one gay cowboy movie? The similarities between the films begin and end with the characters being gay cowboys. It is the laziest of comparisons, but right at home for the brain dead ballots. |
