    About what I expected, no way was it getting Best Picture or Best Actor noms this year. I can see it winning for Best Song, but people do seem to love that track from Encanto.

    And he won it.

    We don't talk about Bruno.

    Bummer it didn’t get cinematography.

    Worst thing is I’ll have to try forcing myself to watch Nightmare Alley. That looks horrible, but people seem to love Guillermo del Toro’s empty movies.

    Nightmare Alley is a gorgeous film.

    Like all of that director’s films. Pretty movies, empty stories.

    He’s really better off just doing art direction/production design for other filmmakers.

    Nightmare Alley is a gorgeous film.

    It's so beautiful, especially during those carnival sequences in the first hour. Laustsen is one of my favorite DPs working today. I can't wait to see what he brings to the table with the next chapter of John Wick.

    The film sort of dragged for me in the back half but it was still very enjoyable.
  • That's a hefty number of solid movies in the Oscar nominations, a stark improvement over last year. Glad to see NTTD grab 3 nominations, and hopefully will keep the Original Song winning streak going.

    Also happy to see films like Drive My Car and Worst Person in the World get nominated outside just the International Film category. I was rooting for Compartment No. 6 to get a nomination in that category, but it was probably a long-shot.

    It was indeed a slow film for me as well, but the story was so engaging. And the ending was one of the most satisfying endings that I’ve seen in a movie!

    First Japanese film to ever be nominated for Best Picture is really a shame to hear, when Japanese cinema is packed with so many classics.

    As a side note, as unlikely as it was, how in the hell does NTTD (or countless other films, for that matter) not get a Best Pic nom while the likes of Don't Look Up does? Stunning. This is the kind of stuff that had me check out of awards shows years ago.

    How the hell did Don't Look Up get a best film nom?

    Boggles my mind. Barely a 50% RT score for it from critics. I'm guessing it's a throwaway nom considering the cast and director.

    I hope so as it's terrible. But my fear is that it's another Green Book, the "populist" film that wins.

    I'd imagine the sizeable amount of chatter it generated was a big part of it.

    Netflix is quite the platform for Don't Look Up. But the Academy tends to have an anti-Netflix bias (Roma, Mank).

    Given how it make a mockery of mainstream media, it’s no surprise critics hated it.
  • I’m not sure which is the most ergregious snub. Editing? Production design? Cinematography?

    Derek Meddings was nominated for Moonraker.

    NTTD deserved a best picture nom.

    It speaks volumes that the two films that basically “saved theaters” after such an unprecedented pandemic that put the industry on the verge of collapse got just 4 nominations.

    Oh yeah, SPIDER-MAN only got one huh? That’s universally considered not only one of the best MCU titles but the best of the genre, and a glowing tribute to the legacy of Spider-Man’s 20 year cinematic run.

    And it only got one technical nom. Is that all on Sony dropping the ball on not distribution TV screeners? I recall that was a huge issue with BAFTAs.

    I agree.

    Think about the average Oscar voter age: 50s-60s. Spider-Man FFH didn’t stand much of a chance.

    @matt_u ...Bang on and this is why the Academy keeps losing viewers. They've forgotten the general audience and they usually have gone for prestige films that nobody saw en masse...

    I was mainly agreeing about NTTD, not with Spider-Man. NTTD was bit more prestigious than NWH, that’s why I was shocked, plus as mentioned above, it helped revitalize theaters.

    They increased the Best Film category to 10 contenders to include popular films like Spiderman and Bond. Not exactly working, is it.

    Long shot for Bond winning best song this time around. Too bad, because NTTD is sooo much better than Writings on the Wall.
