Rise of Skywalker did not even pass $4m?!?!?!!?!!?!?!?!?!?!

I honestly am at a loss at how Margot got nominated for BSA. It's unbelievable.

yeah, I'm actually astounded at how pathetic both leading and supporting actress categories are. I was stunned seeing Margot's name. I just saw Bombshell a week ago...in what god-damn universe did she deserve an Oscar? That film was dominated solely by Charlize. The fact that she got in over Armas or Lopez is ludicrous.

Knives Out not being nominated for Best Picture? Weird. Also...Lupita Nyong'o was robbed of an Oscar nomination. Her performance in Us was spectacular and above most of the nominees. Kathy damn Bates? Really? And Margot Robbie for Bombshell (she was good but nowhere near Oscar-worthy)? You could easily have had Jennifer Lopez and Ana De Armas in their spots. Hell, even Dern getting a nomination was borderline ridiculous. Shame. Endgame getting only one nomination? Come on...

I adore Zoe. She's actually a really good dramatic actress, and the camera loves her.

There's something a little painful that the two greatest characters in FB were played by Zoe Kravitz and Colin Farrell and now they're here. Ugh.

He was great in Fantastic Beasts. Ugh...from him to Depp. Anyway, congrats to him. He's a fantastic actor and seems like a great guy.

What about Interstellar? I still find it one of the best scores of the decade.

What's a way to restore all the numbers and charts back to how they used to be? Or at least in a much better system?

To this day I will never understand how some claim that Order of the Phoenix lost money ($167m worth!) when it did $940m WW and its budget was around $150m.

Everything is over TROS in China.

They went first and foremost because people were absolutely captivated by the world, story, and characters. Yes, yes, Smurfs in space with a dash of Pocohantas...doesn't change the fact that audiences around the world were absorbed by it. Love or hate Cameron, but don't be an idiot when it comes to dismissing why Avatar was a huge success. If all the people you know dislike Avatar, then I think it's necessary for you to shut down the computer, leave the basement, and actually sit with people in the real world.

Pikachu doing almost $431m WW coming off the heels of the biggest movie ever is nothing to scoff at. It easily would have done more in a different slot.

I've been following the box office since I was 15 years old (2008). No matter what, every year, there comes box office surprises in the best way (almost always in the form of originals), great sequel rises (or retentions), but there come moments in regards to series where you are absolutely stunned at how things play out. Star Wars is the best case of that. TFA ended up doing a gargantuan $936m domestic and $2.07b worldwide. Nobody, and I mean nobody, could have ever predicted in their wildest dreams that the finale to the trilogy would struggle to hit $1b worldwide.

Anyone who says TROS was not a rebuttal to TLJ should only look at two characters: Luke and Rose. I did not like Rose at all...but they fucked her over in a way that was so ridiculous I hope she gets roles in other films that trump Disney.
