Frequently Asked Questions for future reference, feel free to ask any additional questions that would fit here to be added to the list.
1. Why Don't You Review Actresses?
When I started this endeavor some time ago there were several blogs that covered exclusively female performances, so the whole point was as contrast by covering the then ignored male performances. Now most of those blogs have fallen by the wayside so that contrast no longer really exists. However I have been at this so long with this focus it just is too insurmountable of a task in my mind to try to start from nominations even with Actress and Supporting Actress. Though if there were two of me, I'd be all for it.
2. How does the prediction contest work?
Simply for fun you predict how I will order the final five, however if you win you can request one performance for me to review in the future. If it is a ten lineup, you get two chances and if you get both sets of five correct you get two predictions.
3. Rules on the Prediction Contest?
You may change your predictions after the first review of the lineup of five only. Technically the second review overall when it is a set of ten. I also ask that if you change your prediction in the same post to delete your old prediction if possible.
4. What questions are okay?
Anything film or TV related. I will occasionally touch Music and Books, however I prefer if it is related to a film or TV in some way, if not I'd ask that it be a question where a very simple reply would suffice.
5. Can I change my winning request?
You may change it to a performance from the same year, once.
6. Can I ask ratings/thoughts on any performance?
First I'd ask you to check if I reviewed the performance or given thoughts previously (search "actoroscar.blogspot.com" on google with that given performance, then on the page it gives you use search/control+F to find the performance). Otherwise I won't give thoughts on saved performances from the current year. Saved meaning either they are in contention for a nomination or I might do a full review in the alternate lineup that year.

This post is long overdue.
Luke, which category do you think Louis will post next.
Anonymous: Whatever's easier I think so either Film Editing or Costume Design.
Cool.
Louis: I think another frequently asked question is about rating and thoughts on performances in films you might have seen/discussed some time ago, using the Google search and control + F.
Louis: Always wondered what the likes of Dinasztie and Sage Slowdive are doing these days.
RatedRStar: And Fritz.
Luke and Daniel: I actually came across what two of those guys are doing not too long ago. Dinasztie is active on Letterboxd under that same username. Fritz runs a YT channel about the Oscars.
Been reading your blog for 15 years now, quite a remarkable resource you have created!
I feel like they'd be pretty surprised to learn this blog is still active, lol.
Anyway, I'm glad I suggested making this FAQ last year. This should make things easier from now.
Louis, thoughts on the Lanterns trailer?
Nice.
Louis: Do you have any interest in seeing Wonder Man or the recent Muppet Show special?
Tahmeed: Your ratings for Robbie and Elordi in Wuthering Heights.
Luke:
Robbie - 4
Elordi - 4.5
J96:
I don't know honestly. Like the cast and what we see of them in the trailer. But from here seemed a little like sticking a square into a circle with the "Gritty police drama" mixed in with superhero that we got here. Maybe in the show it will be flawless mix but this didn't convince me of the choice.
Tybalt:
I actually have been watching Wonder Man, which I wouldn't say is great but it is far more watchable and far more consistent than a lot of the Marvel tv shows I've seen, or stopped watching. Aided greatly by both lead performances.
Louis: Is Sentimental Value Skarsgard's best performance?
