Here Are The 2024 Oscar Winners!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

It was quite a night for Anora and Sean Baker!  Sean Baker tied Walt Disney’s record by winning 4 Oscars in one night.  After being dismissed as an als0-ran by many critics, Anora made a comeback and swept the Oscars.  It was actually kind of fun to watch.

(As far as my predictions go, I hit 12 out of 23 correctly.  That’s one of my worst showings ever but at least I managed to stay over 50%, albeit barely.)

Lisa Marie’s Final 2024 Oscar Predictions

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

The Oscar nominations are due to be announced tomorrow so I guess I should post my final predictions.  2024 has been a rough year for me and my sisters.  Our Dad was in a car accident in May and, after two months of physical rehab, passed away in August while in home hospice care.  Needless to say, going to the movies was the last thing on my mind for much of 2024.

(I’m very thankful that my fellow contributors who kept the site going during our frequent absences.  Their hard work not only kept TSL alive but it also rekindled my own passion for the Shattered Lens.  I am still very much in mourning but writing for this site and sharing my thoughts with our readers has definitely helped me to regain some semblance of stability.)

So, there’s a lot of Oscar hopefuls that I have not seen.  That’s one reason why I haven’t done a best of 2024 list this year or my usual “If Lisa Marie Had All The Power” posts because there’s still a lot that I need to watch.  (I may publish them at some point in February, by which point everyone will have moved on but it will make me feel happy.)  I’m flying blind here with a lot of the potential nominees.  But I’ve been following the guilds and the critic awards and I feel reasonably confident about the predictions below.

Tomorrow morning, we’ll find out how right or wrong I am.
