women in black people in the industry still see themselves as sidelined in the grand condos. whether there is a challenge of bringing in a decent size viewing audience, but these concerns aside, there is a really strong films in the minutes this year, and oscars 2023 promises to be a good night. ——in the mix. seven years ago on a very cold, wintry night at the sundance film festival, i went to the world premiere of a word film called swiss army man. its main claim to fame was that it starred daniel radcliffe betraying a very flatulent corpse. it was made by two filmmakers, daniel kwan and daniel scheinert, who went on to bigger things. daniel scheinert, who went on to biggerthings. i met daniel scheinert, who went on to bigger things. i met them at sundance, and now they could become the kings of hollywood, because they created everything everywhere all at once, which, with 11 nominations, is the oscars fun run. these two

filmmakers, by 35, daniel kwan and daniel scheinert, known collectively as the daniels, are poised to take the full glare of the oscars. they began their careers as directors of music videos are meeting students. music videos are meeting students-— music videos are meeting students. ., ., ,, ., students. you are special. you are special- — students. you are special. you are special. after _ students. you are special. you are special. after their - students. you are special. you are special. after their first - are special. after their first feature with _ are special. after their first feature with daniel- are special. after their first l feature with daniel radcliffe, everything overall it was the biggest achievement. an independent film about a year ago that now has grossed more than $100 million worldwide. it's does shell go as an overwhelmed laundromat owner in california struggling to pay her taxes. she appears as different versions of itself in different versions of itself in different worlds. it is an absurdist fantasy. the daniels�*

at the time, the film was a one off. now the time seems right for academy voters to perhaps recognise the length and scope of michelle yeoh�*s rare. what of michelle yeoh's rare. what has changed _ of michelle yeoh's rare. what has changed is _ of michelle yeoh's rare. what has changed is the _ of michelle yeoh's rare. what | has changed is the inclusivity. there is more acceptance that people like me, then was stories that are being told. —— michelle yeo�*s career. it isn�*t just as a major of china tebbutt we can tell other�*s stories, wejust tebbutt we can tell other�*s stories, we just need to be mindful and respect of each other. after crazy rich asians. that lit the fire and then that became a bonfire with shang chi, then when everything everywhere all at once came out, it became the norm. it should be the norm. why have we been able to do something like this? ., , , this? -- unable. everything everywhere _ this? -- unable. everything everywhere all— this? -- unable. everything everywhere all at _ this? -- unable. everything everywhere all at once - this? -- unable. everything everywhere all at once is l this? -- unable. everything i everywhere all at once is the hollywood dream. it came up more than a year ago as an

spotlight has also shown strongly on the irish this year, who have collected a record number of right to our reporter is going to meet some of the irish film talent up for academy awards. from banshees to quiet girls, ireland has had a truly unprecedented oscar year. a record number of 1a nominations had been awarded to irish talent spread across a variety of categories. the banshees of inisherin, black comedy about a friendship on an island of the coast of ireland, leads the pack. it has five nominations including the best director and best original screenplay. it is attracted a mainstream audience and critical acclaim. it

the end of his long—term friendship. colin farrell says of dramatic and comedic skills, and had the opportunity to reunite with mike mcdonough, writer—director. loneliness, community, solitude, but only for friendship, what happens to the broken heart when a friendship is dissolved. the irish acting line—up is completed by paul maskell, perhaps best known for his role in the tv show, normal government people. he gives a beautifully nuanced performance and the father drama, aftersun. however, perhaps the film that is because the most excitement in ireland itself is the quiet girl, the first irish language want to be nominated in the international feature category and has made over1 million euros in the british and irish box office, a stunning achievement for an irishman

which film. the simple and beautiful story about a young girl and to live with distant relatives down the country has been building oscar buzz since its premiere at the berlin film festival last year. the irish language film has become a tremendous source of pride for the irish people. it's pride for the irish people. it�*s a monumental bang for the irish language community. the english language in a way is kind of a quiet character in irish society. less than 2% of people and i would speak irish on a daily basis. it is of enormous importance on every sense, on a personal level, for myself and other irish speakers, but also on a political level because a language like ours needs government support, it needs investment, belief. projects like this, moments like this are invaluable in that regard. isn�*t your mammy good to you?

isn't your mammy good to you? isn't your mammy good to you? i am — isn't your mammy good to you? i am colleen. maktoum might struggle against all quiet on the western front, the oscar otte is testament to its heartbreaking story and ability to connect with audiences are whatever their native language. tyrese francois be staying up late into the night hoping that the movie can upset the odds and an historic year for the booming irish industry. many of this year�*soscar nominees would have travelled thousands of miles to come to los angeles to attend the ceremony, so what is it like to be an oscar nominee, to perhaps actively campaign to influence academy members? so you might end up with a golden statuette? to find out we caught up with lodge and thon maker lucas dodd

in new york when he was en route to los angeles. 31—year—old lucas is one of the chosen oscar buzz my people, today, his 3600 miles away from home but happy to be in new york. , .., ., york. the first time i came to new york _ york. the first time i came to new york i — york. the first time i came to new york i was _ york. the first time i came to new york i was 20 _ york. the first time i came to new york i was 20 and - york. the first time i came to new york i was 20 and i - york. the first time i came to new york i was 20 and i just | new york i was 20 and ijust remember being completely, yeah, overwhelmed by it. i rememberseeing yeah, overwhelmed by it. i remember seeing shame by steve mcqueen and having this deep impact of it. west side story. i mean, yeah, ithink you�*re came to me through the different ways it was filmed by different ways it was filmed by different directors.— different directors. while in america he _ different directors. while in america he has— different directors. while in america he has been - different directors. while in america he has been sweptj different directors. while in i america he has been swept up different directors. while in - america he has been swept up in the oscar�*s campaign for his nominated picture, close, a nominated picture, close, a nominated story on french of about two belgian boys that goes awry.

awards are nice gifts, nice additions, but it is really not, i suppose, additions, but it is really not, isuppose, what additions, but it is really not, i suppose, what it is about four hours. i think it is about four hours. i think it is about pointing the camera at something we felt it hadn�*t been pointed at and opening up the conversation around intimacy and masculinity and how those two haven�*t often in john and sam frame. that is what it is really about. that golden statue seems nice and shiny and beautiful, but it is a golden statue. now is the time for me to stick my neck out, to prove to you just how clever i am as i predict who is likely to win in the key oscar categories. of course i run the risk of making a total fool of myself. so starting with animated feature film, tab trophy or coq modo tarawhai pinocchio, and i think

that documentary feature — the story on russian opposition leader alex hove albion looks to be the winner. best and initial feature film will go to the german language all quiet on the western front, which may pick up other awards as well. best adapted screenplay will be given to sarah polly for two women could are talking, and best original will be the banshees of inisherin. a supporting actress — angela bassett, the best thing like pamela kunda forever. supporting actor, it seems like a virtual lock for ke huy quan. i think now it is time for matthew to be awarded and brendan fraser will be is swimming in with a tight race for his wonderful performance in the whale. add best picture, everything everywhere all at once. tonight think that will belong to them.

that brings our special preview of the academy awards to a close. we hope you enjoy the show. join us on the oscar night where we will be, commenting on results of stigma. from the tom brook and the rest of the team, from here in los angeles, it is goodbye as we leave you with my favourite nominated best original song. favourite nominated best originalsong. natu natu favourite nominated best original song. natu natu from rrr.
