The Godfather is incredible, but Pacino is so miscast... Has anyone ever said that?
Maybe you're joking, but the producer and studio head said that even before the film was made.
I knew the studio was against Pacino, which is why I added the second part of the sentence involving Duvall. Sorry for the bad example, I guess. Maybe Jack Nicholson being miscast in
Chinatown? Would
The Wrestler win Best Casting for Mickey Rourke, while losing everything else? To me, this just seems like an internal industry award because I am not sure how an audience is supposed to engage with it. I might argue best Stunt Team/Producers deserve a spot at the main ceremony before casting, but I would be open to all points of view.

I haven’t seen Madigan’s film but her win is truly the result of unexpected audience response and authentic momentum. Even if it turns out she and/or the movie sucks, this is on principle the kind of thing this award should reward more often
Everyone was certain Sinners was getting casting, right? That’s gotta be a great sign

When was the last tie, when Zero Dark Thirty and something else won a tech award (Sound maybe)?

Thank god. How embarrassing would it be for posterity if Penn hadn’t won for one of the best performances of all time?

Hopkins was the last acting winner to not show up (and even though it was an upset, the expected winner wasn’t going to be there either…)

I'm still feeling good about OBAA winning picture and director, especially after it's editing and casting wins

Autumn Durald Arkapaw is only the fourth woman to be nominated for Best Cinematography and is now the first to have won. This was the last category open to both sexes to have a female nominee.
Shooting in large format (65mm Ultra Panavision and IMAX 15/70) doesn't necessarily give you an unfair advantage, but Oppenheimer won two years ago and The Brutalist (VistaVision, like One Battle After Another) did last year.
