harrisonisdead Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I'm honestly pleasantly surprised that Once Upon a Studio didn't get the animated short nom (nor did any of my top 3 from the shortlist, but it's still a good lineup). I guess this is not the year to give WDAS any love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanic2187 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 1 minute ago, Valonqar said: That is not the point. The point is that she was snubbed together with the director while Ferrera who was missing precursors cause her performance was nothing to write home about except that cringe speech got in. It would be as if Jon Hamm got in for TGM without Cruise. It's nonsense. This only highlight the supporting roles category just isn’t as stacked. We all know leading actress and actor have been bloodbath for months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YM! Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Decent roundup this year but there’s a few notes I got: Feel like Leo should’ve gotten Gosling’s best actor spot. Robbie not getting in is surprising considering she was the best performance in Barbie. Lowkey if Ferrera gets the win for the speech and Bassett couldn't that kinda bullshit (think Hsu was the clear choice last year but Bassett deserved it more than Curtis) but think Da’Vine will likely clench it Charles Melton got shafted for Best Supporting Actor Sad Heron or Across didn’t get more than just Animated Feature. Not surprised at Ninja Turtles not making it, gave Lego Movie vibes Lmao Wish got jackshit. It’s joever for WDA rn Wahzhazhe for Best Original song let’s go Moon got fucked over with no Best Screenplay nomination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeZ Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Other random thoughts: Honestly thought KOTFM was a shoe-in for adapted screenplay. Williams getting nominated for Indy 5's OST was a huge headscratcher. Nothing memorable about that soundtrack at all so obviously a nom because it's his last piece. Spider-verse in my opinion deserved a nomination for the soundtrack. Pemberton did an incredible job but the Oscar folks don't like animated films. Best actor was really stacked this year so it's hard to pick on their choices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I've seen 8/10 of the Best Pic line-up, American Fiction and Zone of Interest out here next week. I would say from what I've seen there are 4 good movies in that line-up. Kind of an off year for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not joking. Netflix is really good with this shit cause they know what Acting branch falls for. And they are the biggest voting body. Some fun facts: French submission Taste of Things missed in Foreign while the movie they didn't submit cause of some feud between Macron and Triet got Picture, Director, Actress, Original Script and Editing noms.

TMP Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Maestro is such an empty nothing-burger of a movie that I think I somehow know less about Bernstein after watching it. Cooper would an incredible director for music videos though, given his eye for nice looking visuals that don’t signify much meaning Edited January 23 by TMP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She missed all precursors but CC which had 6 slots. She's #5. Randolph is locked to steamroll this even if BAFTA hypotetically picks a Brit. Randolph's winning SAG. It's over.

IIRC The Last Voyage of the Demeter was also on the Makeup shortlist when it was announced. Kind of wish that had been nominated to fill the "random bomb no one remembers exists saved from total obscurity by Oscar" void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know leading actress and actor have been bloodbath for months. Yeah, competition was quite weak there and contenders like McAdams or Pine would've probably been sole nominees for their films. If competiton had been as stacked as in Lead Actress then Ferrera would've been a casualty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Personal ranking of the nominees I've seen so far: 1. Oppenheimer 2. Poor Things 3. The Holdovers 4. Barbie 5. Killers of the Flower Moon 6. Maestro This really wasn't a great year for movies overall IMO. Too many high-profile disappointments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
