Oscar bait:

 

Tar

Elvis

Women Talking

The Fabelmans

AQOTWF

Elvis

Blonde

The Whale

Babylon

 

Basically any prestige drama, biopic, and movies about movies.

 

Non-Oscar Bait

EEAAO

Top Gun

Banshees of Inisherin (It's just a signature McDonough Film. For some reason the academy loves to nominate him similar to David Fincher and Christopher Nolan) 

Avatar (Typical blockbuster movie)

Triangle of Sadness (Comedy are rare to the oscars and Cannes winners are mostly ignored)

Academy seems to be moving towards feel-good movies with unique representation if CODA-EEAAO streak is to be believed.

CODA, EEAAO, Nomadland, Parasite, Green Book, The Shape of Water and Moonlight. All of these movies are about underrepresented groups and the nature of social class for the most part. 

 

A change is happening inside the Academy, for sure.

Yeah that was definitely oscar bait.

 

EEAO absolutely is not.

some People are calling it oscar bait only because the cast is all asian. Embarassing.

All Quiet was pretty baity, but the industry is clearly losing their taste for traditional bait based on how The Power of the Dog and Fabelmans both flopped.

The Power of The Dog traditional bait? I have to laugh.

The movie is not but certainly it was chosen by Netflix even before it came out as their Oscar bait movie. They pushed the lgbt narrative, the female director narrative and so on...so the campaign was build in that sense but movie is not and for this reason during the campaign it lost power and then won almost anything

Triangle of Sadness and Tar deserved wins tho.  Both amazing movies

All Quiet on The Western Front is Oscar bait which the academy said "yes" to. A boring World War whatever film we get every f*cking year. Still, nothing can beat the disgusting Oscar bait trash that was Green Book. :pukey:

Tell us know you know absolutely nothing about the film industry without saying you know nothing about the film industry

Yeah the movie is way too cold and distant (and gay).

EEAAO is not oscar bait but it really fit the bill for the Oscars's desperate bid to remain relevant.

The Whale won 2 awards, and All Quiet won 4, how did they win “the most” when EEAAO won 7? :rip: Learning to count is so important, dear.

I was gonna tell y'all to stop before someone calls EEAAO an 'Oscar bait' when it's literally the complete opposite of it (and actually INSANE to say when you look at some of the other movies it was up against), but I see I was too late :dies:

this, i dont know why people keep speak their loud nonsense opinion without bother to do basic research.

Imagine thinking a movie released in March with the entire cast and crew were never ever nominated for an Oscar before as an Oscar bait.

Drag IT

 

Most of the recent BP winners haven't been Oscar bait anyway and the narrative surrounding EEAAO was way too loud to ignore it

 

drag a bit? you’ve posted the exact same sheet about 178 times now

 

enough is enough

 

OT: my favorite 2022 movie 5/5 stars on my letterboxd :clap3:

they were so not like the other girls for only awarding the most awarded film of all time instead. :clap3:
