grim22 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Overall, no huge surprises and completely out of left field nominees. Pretty much the all nominees came from like the Top 7 in each category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorddemaxus Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I know she got into every precursor, but I still think the JLC nom is baffling. Worst performance in that whole movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A2, a movie which audiences love love love. Made by James Cameron, doing something no one else can do. Leading a team of 3800 people, pushing boundries on many fronts. Surely A2 should have a better shot at best director than best picture. Edited January 24, 2023 by IronJimbo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may (and I stress on may) win VFX. The Oscars hate to award the same VFX twice normally, the time between movies may help it there.

lorddemaxus Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Also, pretty nice Russos were not listed as producers for EEAAO. Was worried they'd become Oscar nominees. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Quiet with a lot of nominations but likely only one win on awards night. think All Quiet bags cinematography as well since i thought that was going to top gun but it's not there. seems like the likeliest of those nominees. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont worship that movie in any way, but the effects in Avatar 2 blow every other movie last year out of the water (no pun intended). 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which categories did it get snubbed in? Bare in mind that best actor,actress and supporting actor, actress were always off the table as they'll never nominate a motion capture performance. Director Costume Design Not really any others I feel it should have gotten but didn't. Unless I'm missing a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so far ahead of the competition on VFX that it would feel ridicolous to not give it the win imho no matter how many times it gets the nom. Happy for EEAAO and AQOTWF as they were my two films of the year, shame about decision to leave getting snubbed though. Wanted Cameron to get in for BP but guess not. TGM getting screenplay (which it had no business getting) but not cinematography (which it should absolutely have gotten) is absurd. Other than that not much of a surprise I guess, Andrea Riseborough didn't feel that into the conversation but I wouldn't say that's too surprising per se.

Hatebox Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Can they just give Dark Knight a lifetime achievement award or something and do away with this whole more than 5 Best Picture nominees? It's so silly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 Avatar will win Visual Effects. The Best Picture nomination confirms its strength in that category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WittyUsername Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Visual effects should be an easy win for Avatar. If it doesn’t win that, then something will seriously be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
