Hot predictions on the winners from Xavier’s experts: DIFT and music majors

By Marty Dubecky, Print Managing Editor

Best Picture

“I’d choose Killers of the Flower Moon all day, every day. Scorsese really subverted expectations with Killers. The movie was long but never felt like it was plateauing.”

-Logan Herrera, Senior DIFT major

Best Actor

“I’m stuck between Paul Giamatti and Cillian Murphy. If I had to guess realistically, I think it’s Cillian Murphy for how well Oppenheimer did in the Box Office. However, Giamatti in The Holdovers is very underrated and I’m rooting for him!”

-Robbie Stephens, Senior DIFT major

Best Actress

“For best actress, I do think Margot Robbie was snubbed. I thought she did a great job in Barbie. But I do think Lily Gladstone had one of the best performances of the year in Killers of the Flower Moon.”

-Abigail Horn, Junior DIFT major

Best Supporting Actor

“America Ferrera has a good chance of winning the Best Supporting Actress category for her empowering monologue in Barbie.”

-Nick Namyar, Senior DIFT and graphic design double major

Best Supporting Actress

“I think best supporting actor will go to Ryan Gosling in Barbie. Ken was such a funny character to watch throughout the whole movie. I watched Barbie four times and enjoyed hearing Gosling sing and laughed every time his character made a joke.”

-Alex Sepulveda, Junior DIFT major

Best Original Score and Best Original Song

“For the original score, I think Killers of the Flower Moon is awesome! For original song, I am going to go with ‘I’m Just Ken’ for popularity reasons!”

-Raquelia Ramlogan, Senior music major
