Josh!

I don’t think I’ve ever voted for Skall before … so of course, when I give them a chunk of points …. They come last in the semi . Damn!!

Wait, UVLand’s entry is a bit of a bop!!! Iconic!!!

Only familiar with the Altyr and Mothertopia entries. I hope flowerovlove can qualify this time after she flopped for me last time. I've been into all of her releases and was thinking of entering her again myself but was stung by the DNQ last time. Looking forward to listening in the morning!

I’m glad my 18 came to save you swiftly after this. LOVED your entry this month x

Well done for hosting so well despite all the site changes Cody! So happy for Keke Palmer qualifying. I was a bit worried for its chances but it's a song I've loved for years now, so I'm glad some others enjoyed it. She's such a lovely presence in general too. Sad to see Jupiter feeling down after not qualifying. It was one of my high pointers. Please stick around!!!!

I will really enjoy reading this, as so many box office reports are so focused on US domestic!

I can’t speak for the remix but Sinceramente is an amazing song!! Rightfully vetoed though :P

I meant if there was a ban next month, haha, but phew… thankfully not!

Not Rob's gargantuan Q streak coming to an end because of non-voting!!! Rob, I hope you have an alarm set before 11am out there wherever you are because your song is amazing

My hype is all over the place this month! Should be a surprise on the night for Ajanaeda either way, haha. I usually trust Lew's odds but I think Cheiron and Fljotavik have the best chance for the gold. I'd like to see Honki Ponki dark horse it!

Only lost one vote and I qualified so that’s a success! I really thought Conoria would be a qualifier so I’m shocked at that, and that it wasn’t all that close to #20 either. Honki Ponki is also brilliant!!! I was shocked at all the DNQ predictions.

It’s on my Spotify!? Beautiful song

Six people have been nominated twice for playing the same character in the history of the Academy Awards, but it hasn't happened in back to back years since the 1940s which was obviously a very different landscape for the Oscars. I don't think anything like this has happened where it's all been filmed in one go and artificially split into two films. It would be unprecedented (which I think is why the studio are going all out trying to secure noms for the first instalment) but I guess strange things happen every year. The new songs they've written could be undeniable Oscar clips for all we know!

We agree on almost all of these scores!!! Do you have Letterboxd, Conor?
