Oscars Predictions from Film Tampa Bay — Film Tampa Bay
Some years are just THAT good for movies. (Looking at you 2007, with No Country for Old Men & There Will Be Blood). This year is one of those years. So, of course our office is pooling together our picks and who we think will take home the prized naked statue.
You can join us in watching the 96th Academy Awards this Sunday, March 10th!
Just so we don’t keep you all day, we chose our picks for these 5 categories: Best Picture, Best Directing, Best Lead Actor, Best Lead Actress, and Best Cinematography.
Best Picture: Past Lives
Tyler: “The Academy in recent years have been focusing more on smaller and important films in the best Picture category. With the bloat of films like Oppenheimer and Barbie in the media, this feels like another year where the Academy might reward a smaller more introspective film. Its definitely the dark horse pick, but I feel like it has the potential to surprise viewers, though I wouldn’t be shocked if Holdovers won, which was my favorite film of the year.”
Best Director: Christopher Nolan
Tyler: “Oppenheimer I personally don’t think he has done anything particularly interesting since Memento, but by most metrics he should have wone for Dunkirk. Even if I don’t like most of his films, he has put in the time and Oppenheimer is a solid film. He deserves the recognition, though I feel his BAFTA win may have doomed his chances at the Academy Awards.”
Best Actor: Paul Giamatti, The Holdovers
Tyler: “Consistently fantastic, he has never turned in a less that great performance, even when his performance is the only thing good in the movie. That’s not the case here. Holdovers is fantastic, and Giamatti is at the top of his game.
Best Actress: Lily Gladstone, Killers of the Flower Moon
Tyler: “Her performance was nuanced, researched, and heartfelt. The academy owes it to her, and the countless native Americans who have worked in the film industry over the years or have been used as nothing more than props to tell a largely anti native American narrative.”
Best Cinematography: Killers of the Flower Moon
Tyler: “I am not a Nolan apologist. I find his films overthought, and rarely justified spectacles. Shooting Oppenheimer in an imax format while keeping the movie largely over the shoulder closeups is just another example of Nolan stroking his own ego. Prieto has been to the dance four times and was cheated when Silence didn’t win in 2017. He deserves the win.”
Best Picture: Oppenheimer
Jesse: “I think that Oppenheimer will win best picture simply because it’s an epic Nolan film, and I am secretly rooting for it because I can’t get enough of Cillian Murphy’s RBF on the red carpet.”
Best Director: Martin Scorsese
Jesse: “How do you not give it to Scorsese? The man is a legend, and Killers of the Flower Moon is a culmination of all his prior work. Let’s go Marty!”
Best Actor: Bradley Cooper! JK, Paul Giamatti
Jesse: “I want to say Bradley Cooper just to be an anarchist. But my heart would be so happy if it went to Paul Giamatti.”
Best Actress: Lily Gladstone
Jesse: “100% Lily Gladstone. Next question.”
Best Cinematography: El Conde
Jesse: “There’s a reason that this is the only category it’s nominated for. They could not exclude this brilliant cinematography.”
Best Picture: Barbie
Hilary: “I’d like for Killers of the Flower Moon to take Best Picture, but I think the viral mania surrounding Barbie will prove effective in the end (especially with Greta Gerwig’s omission from the Best Director category).”
Best Director: Chris Nolan
Hilary: “While the award could easily go to Martin Scorsese for Killers of the Flower Moon, I suspect it’s finally time for the Academy to recognize Nolan’s work and vision.”
Best Actor: Cillian Murphy
Hilary: “Cillian Murphy has been giving us incredible performances without fail for the last twenty-something years. It would be fantastic to see the Academy honor Murphy’s dedication to his craft.”
Best Actress: Lily Gladstone
Hilary: “Lily Gladstone is the heartbeat of Killers of the Flower Moon. This is a historic nomination, and her win would be groundbreaking. I hope in the future we have many opportunities to see Gladstone grace the silver screen.”
Best Cinematography: Oppenheimer
Hilary: “Cinema’s past and future blended to bring Oppenheimer to life. Technical achievements that both preserve and progress shooting on film draw the viewer into the intense physical and personal landscapes of Oppenheimer.”
Best Picture: Oppenheimer
Birdie: “Oppenheimer because the world doesn’t have enough material celebrating the boring accomplishments of boring men. Congratulations to all the droll faces involved. $5.99 on Amazon, my ass. So accessible, thank you, Hollywood.
Best Director: Justine Triet
Birdie: “Justine Triet, but not for the reason you’d think.”
Actor: Paul Giamatti
Birdie: “I think the Academy will realize what they did to him in 2005 was messed up.”
Actress: Sandra Hüller
Birdie: “Sandra Hüller because that one monologue was so by-the-book, but still alive and raw. She is the stand-out in this year’s lineup.
Cinematography: Poor Things
Birdie: “You really sit in Bella’s fantastical world.”

Kanye West‘s longtime friend and confidant says Ye is happier than ever being married to Bianca Censori — so much so, in fact, he might be ready to be a papa all over again!
We got a member of Ye’s inner circle, Justin LaBoy, Tuesday at LAX … where we chopped it up about his buddy and Bianca for a little bit. We were wondering how the couple feels about her family being ticked off lately, but he spilled some other tea.
Remember, her father came out and said he didn’t appreciate his son-in-law parading his daughter around France in barely any clothing … this after several wild outfits she rocked.
You can tell Justin doesn’t wanna go there … saying he doesn’t like to speak on his buddy’s wife — but he does say he loves her, and can tell she’s perfect for his good pal.
The reason? Justin tells us he’s actually never seen Kanye happier than he is right now.
Justin also says Bianca’s enjoying herself too — clearly addressing the speculation from Kanye’s critics that he’s keeping her against her will, or brainwashing her.
Finally, we touch on something Ye himself is alluding to in recent songs — saying “another baby is my end goal” … which most listeners heard as a reference to Bianca.
Justin himself had some thoughts about that when we asked if Kanye was being serious — and according to him … he absolutely is. JLB says he thinks a “bunch of babies” are on the way for them.
Bianca’s only 29, so if she’s inclined to have kids … this could be prime baby-making time. As you know, Ye already has 4 children with Kim Kardashian.
Considering Ye and Bianca are going strong well over a year into their relationship … it might be Yeezy baby season after all!

Bam Margera got into a loud argument with his fiancée that was caught on camera, and while it looked and sounded like they were at each other’s throats … Bam says it actually stemmed out of love.
The former “Jackass” star was arguing with Dannii Marie last Thursday outside of a Nashville hotel — not long after he’d injured himself in a skate stunt that left him with a torn MCL and ACL.
In the video, obtained by TMZ, you can see Bam and Dannii shouting at each other — it’s a heated conversation, for sure, but Bam tells us all is well in their relationship.
He says the argument started after he stepped outside for a smoke break … we’re told Dannii apparently thought he was trying to sneak away to use hard drugs, as he has in the past.
Fact is, a lot of online trolls have speculated Bam might relapse after his injury if he were prescribed pain meds. We’re told Dannii found Bam outside in the alley, and confronted him about that very possibility thinking the worst, but he insists the only thing he lit up was a cig.
Long story short … Bam says Dannii was simply expressing concern for him, and he absolutely appreciates his woman looking out for his best interests. He credits her with keeping him on the straight and narrow with his sobriety.
Bam says he took a urine test that day to reassure Dannii he was clean, and he tells us he remains substance-free even to this day — marking 6 months of sobriety.
Now, Bam’s on the mend with Dannii by his side, and even if they argue about his addiction issues … he says they’re absolutely going strong as a couple.
Murray The Magician is walking the plank — the magic world’s version, anyway, as the famed Magic Castle suspends him for breaking a longstanding rule about revealing how to do tricks, but he says that rule’s gotta change.
Here’s the deal … Murray filmed a fun video he shared online, doing a bunch of different magic tricks for the camera only to have his sexy sidekick — his wife, Dani — burst his bubble and reveal the secret behind each trick.
Murray’s video racked up more than 50 million views on Facebook, and now Hollywood’s most famous and exclusive magic club, The Magic Castle, has suspended him.
The Academy of Magical Arts, the group that runs The Magic Castle, told Murray he’s suspended pending an investigation into complaints he violated their rules by exposing magic online.
In the letter, obtained by TMZ, the AMA tells Murray he’s no longer allowed to even enter the Magic Castle, where he’s been a member for decades and frequently performs.
Murray tells TMZ … the magic community needs to update these outdated rules because it’s 2024, and folks can go on the internet and learn magic tricks on their own.
TMZ.com
Basically, Murray’s calling out the AMA for guarding an empty safe by punishing magicians who pull back the curtain. As he says, it’s not like he was sharing details behind David Copperfield or Criss Angel‘s famous tricks, because everything in his viral video is available on Amazon for anyone to purchase and use.
Murray says the real issue here is his fame … he says the video wouldn’t be a problem if he was a birthday magician in Barstow, but because his video is racking up a bunch of views, suddenly the AMA has beef.
Bottom line for Murray … there’s no harm in exposing basic magic tricks because the art form is all about entertainment, and he feels that’s what he’s accomplishing here.
