i know melton's chances have been shot for weeks and sessa was a complete outlier longshot, but i do find it kind of bizarre how the academy loves a newcomer or young ingenue narrative for actress/supporting actress but will only take up for veterans in the actor/supporting actor. 

Isn’t this just reflective of our patriarchal society?

Margot's performance in Barbie is fundamental to the movie. America Ferrrera getting a nom but not her is embarassing. 

She did nothing. Ferrera and Crazy Barbie did all the pull at the end of the movie. Margot was in the background.

 

The movie was just okay. The directing was just okay too so I can see the snub. The shots of John Cena and Dua were so poorly done.

[Moloko Plus]

Bradley Cooper’s checks cleared chile…

[LastKiss]

Nominations mess aside the only real race is in the best actress category, the other ones are already done and ready to go

Margot being at her lowest last season with 2 huge bomb projects and being snubbed (despite deserving to get in) for Babylon only to have a HUGE year and do the most promo possible and still get snubbed again

You do know she was nominated as a Producer right lol

interesting how ppl only care about this stuff at certain times of year, like during award season

[TheDreamer]

Nolan going from 0 Oscars to potentially 3 Oscars in one night is insane. It's what he deserves!  

[Donquizote]

Bradley is still working hard to get that Oscar win for Maestro me thinks

[Into The Void]

Just saw The Holdovers on Peacock.  Solid 8.5/10

[Into The Void]

I think America Ferrera deserved her nom, I was very pleased with her performance tho I think Julianne Moore and Rosamund Pike were snubbed ngl

 

I only seen Holdover, May December, Saltburn and Barbie

 

I wanna watch Poor Things next. I love Emma. Id watch Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon but 3 hrs is way too damn long can we cut these films short sheesh

I'm glad that Academy seemed recognised the beauty of Anatomy of a Fall, film like this might not be making millions but they pushed the envelope

 

As for the Margot snub, I believed a lot of voters in acting branch placed her in 4th or 5th place which result in the snub, it is just not an outstanding performance for competitive year.

Just saw Anatomy of a Fall. Sandra Huller ate. This debuts in my top 5 films of the year, and is one of the strongest among the Best Picture nominees.

I STILL DON’T KNOW IF SHE DID IT

Daniel and Snoop were robbed for Best Supporting Actors. Mark Ruffalo was so bad in Poor Things.

Of living men, bradley appears to have the most acting noms without a win (5).

His WINslet moment coming soon?

I personally wouldn’t nominate Margot either. There were simply much better performances than hers. She wasn’t even the best thing about her own movie. Neither was America, her nomination for that monologue is a mess. And what makes it funnier - she still executed it 10x better than that painfully bad Laura Dern few years ago

 

Right now Sandra Huller is my favorite to win. She was absolutely incredible in The Anatomy of a Fall and also has The Zone of Interest to push her to the win. I know it’s gonna be Lily or Emma though. 

 

For the last few months I’ve had this feeling The Holdovers might pull a Green Book and snatch the BP. I’m also not ruling out Paul Giamatti. Haven’t seen the movie yet though. Is it really that good?

Also - Bradley Cooper was painfully AWFUL in Maestro. Kudos to Carey Mulligan for saving the movie from a total disaster.

Also Ferrera was awful in Barbie, her acting didn’t land, she was cringe. Like I can get the Margot snub but to say Ferrera was better than her in that movie is WILD

Ferrera did a great job... considering the script paid her character dust to prop up Ken and give him more jokes and musical numbers.

Ready for Alexander Payne's smear campaign to start soon

Loving messiness that will come soon during campaigning period.
