If Bradley Cooper goes 0-3 tonight, he will have 12 nominations without a win. The leader is Greg P. Russell with 16 nominations with no wins (his win on his 17th nomination was rescinded). ---

Poor Things for Makeup & Hairstyling (a slight upset over Maestro). Keep an eye on these “downballot” categories, because the entire Academy votes (they don’t all get to nominate) and early momentum from the actor’s can show up here. ---

The next one (set design?) seems one “Poor Things” definitely deserved. ETA: Poor Things also got costume design. Ok with that one too. ---

I like the approach of having two similar categories announced by the same presenters, speeds things up. ---

Downey’s part was bigger, and everyone loves a well played villain. Krumholtz was much praised (and I think he is underestimated as far as his value to the films I’ve seen him in), but the only way he was making it into this list of nominees is if there were two from Oppenheimer. ---

Yeah, I wasn’t thinking it was warranted over RDJ, but Krumholtz’s Twitter account was wildly entertaining before he deleted it, and I suspect his speech would have been something. ---
