Um, no. It’s an incredible performance both from a comedic perspective and a dramatic one, not something many could pull off and make look so effortless in the process.

Well, I don’t remotely feel so positively about the year, but I’d easily place Robbie over Gladstone and possibly Stone as well, who I’d replace with Greta Lee and Natalie Portman/Julianne Moore. Teyana Taylor also deserved a nomination.
There’s precedent; Kubo and the Two Strings earned a Visual Effects nomination.
Not to mention, “has this female director been nominated before, and in the last decade? If so, she can’t get another so soon!”
I hate that two of the most immaculately crafted films of the year - Asteroid City and The Killer - were completely shut out. They should have been locks for cinematography at the very very least, and editing and sound for the latter.
He fits the twink/twunk mold and that’s enough for many young girls/gays.
Maybe people are tired of conventional beauty? Although I will say Andrew Garfield stands out from that list as not really belonging. He has a doll face.

No Phantom of the Paradise, Amarcord, or Ali: Fear Eats the Soul? Booo!
The Meet Me in St. Louis sketch was dire. When will SNL realize that movies shot before 1953 were in the Academy ratio? It’s such a simple thing to get right.
Seriously? He’s always had major stars. He even did these drinking segments with Rihanna and Lizzo.
What a waste of an Oscar-winning actress. A real missed opportunity not to have done the Billie Jean King sketch during Stone’s hosting gig.
A ridiculous result for a disappointing season. Hardly any of these mediocre bakers would have made it to the final five in any other season. And then they give the win to a guy because he was “uncomplaining” and just “happy to be there.” What bollocks.
How is the [REDACTED] not Jack White? Honestly surprised.
Between this and Jarmusch’s Paterson, Driver is really leveraging his name to good use!
I don’t see any possible interpretation of the joke as making fun of terrorism. It’s making fun of a guy who’s too dense to realize the name of his band is the same as a terrorist group. Who is this offending?
WTF? Is it not more objectionable that the sketch ends with everyone laughing off a suicide? The Hamas thing is a total throwaway nothing.
Oh, I didn’t realize that. I think it was especially surprising because he appears in a coda that itself is very unexpected.
This all distracts from the fact that the real most jarring appearance in the film is by Jack White of all people. What the heck was that?
