seem like they have found a way to substitute best popular feature film with some twitter movement. You may very well see a MCU vs DC Stan in the near future

The Academy might have wished that one of the 10 Best Picture slots went to James Bond or Spider-Man, but Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s three-hour adaptation of a Haruki Murakami short story has become a better case study for what it takes to keep the movie business alive.

It is actually very terrible PTA across, I don’t remember seeing Oscar best picture nominees recorded sub 1000 PTA at this scale. They almost always come above $1000 , some even hit $2000 despite theatre count expansion after the announcement. This alone suggest that covid + streaming destroy at least half of the moviegoing crowd.

I think I will sit this one out, collecting character names from the movie is a painful process. All in my head was jack and rose

This may very beat the great beauty, an Italian language film and become the highest grossing film of all time for Janus film distributor

So WSS will have 12 weeks theatre exclusive window? Finally feel normal again, hope the expansion this weekend push and relatively quiet feb will push to movie pass 40m box office total. Not exactly the leg or total that people wish for but surely isn’t a disaster.

Expand to 2000 locations this weekend!

Even more irony, both year feature a Japanese director for their Japanese film. Kurosawa for ran and hamaguchi for DMC

Coincidentally, dune is the most nominated movie without its director having nominated at 10, this can be a record too. Last time a movie was this heavily nominated across the board but the director was snub is actually Nolan for inception. Both director are considered pretty locked at one point but left out eventually.

I was hoping this can be spoiler in best animated feature race for the Oscar but that didn’t happen. This movie is easily better than Luca and enchanto, both movies are actually quite average as Pixar/ Disney pics. poor gkids, they have been under mounting pressure from Disney Pixar and now Netflix is crowding them out from the award race too. at least belle score pretty good at the box office. The 2nd biggest box office hit in GKIDS history.

But little are as effective or accessible to general audience as DLU. House of Gucci has equally shinning ensemble cast , helmed by equally Oscar friendly director with better review than DLU but was mostly ignored. The main difference between two is DLU being socially relevant and generating healthy respond from scientist or academia, a voice that should we pay more attention to especially in this era. Not saying critics who hates DLU are ignorant about the impending crisis but neither that should stop academy to use its platform to amplify the movie importance, still a way better than choice than NWH inclusion that some people try to push. dLU won’t win BP anyway, its nomination here is similar to The post inclusion, just for its importance.

Hamaguchi is in Berlin film festival now, shouldn’t he be in LA and promote his film? DMC is the true underdog of the season, a film coming from unknown director even among cinephile, distributed by super indie company janus, without access to streaming and doing sub1m box office, yet when people saw it, they really love it and take to their very core of the heart. A victory that I will say the biggest since parasite and we thought parasite is a once in few decades thing

I hope they quickly expand the release scale. More people need to see this film

No way home look more like MTV award player to me

Will drive my car finally released here? Last time when a Japanese language film nominated for best picture, letter from iwo jima, Japanese flocked to cinema to see it and the movie gross 44m there, a figure that came much higher than in USA

Yes, after this morning announcement, the race is over. The movie exceeded the even most optimistic expectations. It will take miracle to knock it down, at least statistically speaking.

Stop being childish, not everyone or group has to agree on something. Critics lauded DMC and Oscar happily agree but not for DLU, it is just the way opinion act in the natural way

Sj2 is a terrible film which I didn’t even finish watching, glad critics and industry agree on that matter

Don’t understand the hate for DLU, it may not be a great film but certainly a worthy film to pay attention, especially for its message. Glad that academy managed to ignore critics group voice and go ahead with their thought. Academy voters is a group of industry professional, they are not critics group puppets. Sometime industry and critics agree, sometime they do not, as simple as that. they should have ability to recognise whatever they think should make it in at the consensus level. Happy to see DLU getting nomination despite attack from critics group, like joker and BR.

Licorice pizza takes a big blow here, the movie only has three nomination and all because of PTA. Not only they missed Alana Haim , who is on the bubble for best actress, they ignored cooper and everything else. At one point I even doubt if PTA can make it for best director. Guess my hope for PTA to finally have his moment stop here

If my count is correct, power of dog is the most nominated film with 11, followed by dune at 10. I guess Netflix may really have their first win

No way home got ignored🤭 almost completely. I guess Sony money on the campaign is wisely spent

Seem like they can’t leave searchlight behind for best picture line up, nightmare alley was not nominated in both best director and best screenplay

What the hell, Dennis villeneuve snubbed? This is shocking after seeing the film sweep almost every technical categories
