Best Picture:
Didn´t anticipate this happening, even though imo it was the best movie out of the nominated ones but considering that in many Oscar years, the international movie has had better movies nominated than the main best picture category, especially the winners, i expected this year to be the same, good that it wasn´t. I really hope this will open the door to not divide that sternly between English-speaking movies and the rest.
Best Actor:
After winning everything in his way, it was obvious Phoenix won, and he deserves it. Joker besides him was not that good really, but his performance was really phenomenal. I saw every other film and the actor nominated, he deserves it. And of course Phoenix has to play the obedient boy now to remain a Hollywood darling.
Best Actress:
Have only seen three movies from the nominated ones, and for me Ronan was the choice, have not seen Judy, or know much about Garland and how she behaved, only saw her in two movies iirc. Had no clear favorite though, so whoever wins is ok.
Best Supporting Actor:
Still do not understand why Brad Pitt is getting awards for this role, seems more like acknowledging his career rather than giving it to him just for this performance, would have preferred any of the other four.
Best Supporting Actress:
Would have preferred Pugh or Scarlett to win, did not think both Dern´s character and performance were extraordinary.
Best Director:
Either Mendes or Jo would have been fine, the latter made it.
Adapted Screenplay:
Surprised Gerwig did not win for Little Women, seemed like a critics darling. Jojo Rabbit war more polarizing but hey, more power to Waititi, at least this will give him a few years of more leeway to make passion projects.
Original Screenplay:
Also deserved.
