Hatebox Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Incidentally nice to Andrea Riseborough get a nod. She's one of those actors that should have been big a long time ago but never really was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Everything Everywhere got 11 nominations by my count. All Quiet and Banshees behind with 9. Elvis 8 and Fabelmans 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webslinger Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 They nominated Ana de Armas for Blonde and snubbed Danielle Deadwyler for Till? Okay Academy, you do you, I guess. Not many big surprises, though it's nice to see that a passion vote or fringe contender prevailed in each of the acting categories (Riseborough, Mescal, Hsu, Henry).

thajdikt Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Having only five movies nominated for Best Picture is meh. 10 movies is great. Stuff like The Dark Knight should never happen again. Movie like Avatar prob would have gotten a nom with five noms and it deserves to be in that category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Aftersun great but was rooting for Sandman to get in just because. Deadwyler missing for De Armas is a tragedy. Didn't like Triangle of Sadness even if I agreed with the politics of it. Mostly fine nominees otherwise though. Henry getting in amazing and I haven't even seen that movie.

filmlover Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 The highlights of this morning were definitely "My Year of Dicks" and "An Ostrich Told Me the World is Fake and I Think I Believe It" becoming Oscar-nominated titles. Also, Andrea Riseborough's grassroots campaign actually paying off is going to make a fun awards season story in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leading a team of 3800 people, pushing boundries on many fronts. Surely A2 should have a better shot at best director than best picture. Given it’s a directors guild nom, all the talk of the budget and scope of the work may have been a deterrent, in that the use of $500M and 4K workers is less a directing achievement and more of CEO/producer role, preferring to reward those who had far less resources at their disposal, aka “true directors” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronJimbo Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Just now, CoolioD1 said: cinematography (the first movie won) and editing it didn't get too. While A2 is beatuiful it doesn't try to win the cinematography award. It's too grand and VFX heavy for them to give it to A2. It's incredible the first movie won cinematography with the way they vote. Probably because the 3D at time blew their minds, and all the shots were made in a way where completemented the 3D. For editing, the first movie was better editing. Avatar 1 was so tight. A2 a bit clunky in places. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay Academy, you do you, I guess. I feel like the signs were there for Ana when the Razzies didn't nominate her despite Blonde being up for seemingly everything else lol. Oh well, happy to see her become a nominee at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WittyUsername Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Damn, Ana De Armas got nominated for Blonde? Admittedly, I haven’t seen the movie, and I don’t really plan to, but that comes across as a rather odd decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
