Hell, I wanted Nolan to win for The Prestige and Batman Begins; everything since Inception has been trying too damn hard. I agree Oppenheimer had that Last Emperor feel of a guy trying desperately to make a Best Picture winner by checking all the right boxes. And like all biopics, it suffered from having to follow the…

Yeah I can see that. I wouldn’t mind the ten-list either if they’d pick ten good movies. (Obviously I’ll never get over Top Gun).

Unless you consider that her being left ouf of the best director category altogether was also a snub, and I do. The Academy consistently fails to recognize women directors and only 8 have ever been nominated.

Saltburn was basically a Lifetime movie with higher production values & British accents. Not so sure it’s Oscar-worthy.

I dunno...I think if we expanded the list of everything we’d just get Tom Cruise nominated for each new Mission Impossible movie.

Little Women was nominated, and she was left out the best director category that time. 

There was room for more than one woman in the best director category, especially considering that Greta Gerwig, Emerald Fennell and Cecile Song all directed great films this year worthy of a nod. Only 8 women directors have ever been nominated for Oscars, ever. 

Snort....I can actually hear it in Paulie Walnuts voice.

1. I don’t think any of the performances in Barbie deserved to be nominated, and especially not America Ferrara (as much as I love her). But out of all of them, Gosling’s was the least undeserving. I liked Barbie, but I wanted to like it more. Sorry not sorry. 

Best Director, Best Male Actor & Best Female Actor should all be expanded to ten. It’s long overdue.

There are equally great stories to be told of human life outside of war, holocaust, slavery, genocide, HIV/AIDs, homophobia

Exactly. Barbie is a comedy. It’s not fair to judge it by obvious Oscar bait standards like Killers or Oppenheimer. It can be exhausting watching the same human suffering films. There are equally great stories to be told of human life outside of war, holocaust, slavery, genocide, HIV/AIDs, homophobia etc. I think…

All of this!

“Lily Gladstone is the first-ever Native American nominated for Best Actress for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon”

Looking at it from a purely gender-neutral, heads-up perspective, I feel she was indeed snubbed because her film was as purely creative and unique as anything we saw this year.  I expect the portion of people who rolled their eyes when they heard someone was making a Barbie movie was 90%+, but that anyone who knows…

You know it’s not really about Barbie though, right? RIGHT? 

Nominating Ken but not Barbie is stupid and fits perfectly with the theme of the movie.

I feel great is a stretch, but Saltburn wasn’t bad. I just think the Talented Mr. Ripley was far superior, especially performance wise, for this genre of film.

Just wait until you guys hear about a film called Kids...
