Welcome to The Avocado’s annual Academy Award nominations live discussion thread! It promises to be another exciting morning, with Dune: Part Two, Wicked, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, and The Brutalist among the films aiming to be this year’s most-nominated. You can catch up before the telecast starts with my final predictions, and come back here to watch Bowen Yang and Rachel Sennott start announcing the nominees at precisely 8:30 AM ET / 5:30 AM PT, followed by a second batch at 8:41 AM ET / 5:41 AM PT, live on Youtube:

Join me down in the comments section to discuss, and as always, I’ll try my hardest to post all the nominations live as they are announced!
