I don't know about strongest, but it was very strong indeed- they could have happily slipped The Bad Guys or Wendell and Wild in too.
Shame two of the animated films on Disney's watch face-planted last year, but I'd be pretty surprised if Turning Red didn't take it regardless.
It's a statement about Oscars viewership declining every year.
Avatar for best picture? lmao, cmon.
Also I think Batman should have been recognized in cinematography category.
Happy for EEAAO though, hope it gets some wins too.

I'm well aware that many Hispanic people are white and that is largely true of those whose origins are Spanish. Ana De Armas certainly falls into the white Hispanic category.
I'm also well aware that race is many ways a societal construct. That large portions of society (particularly in the US where these awards are given) do not treat white Hispanic people as "white" in a similar way that Jewish people are frequently not treated as "white". That there's a reason there was a backlash that a Hispanic actress was going to portray Monroe in the first place. That Hispanic actors/actresses are still frequently underrepresented in Hollywood pictures and have historically been largely ignored by the Oscars as well, and few people here know as much about the Oscars as me, I've been studying/analyzing them for 20 years.
I don't know that an Oscar thread is the place to have a long discussion about it, but I do think its a form of representation to see her nominated. My original point is largely the same with or without her though. 6 nominees of color in the acting categories is still one of the highest totals the Oscars have ever had.
Wait ... Top Gun Maverick... best movie? Is this the MTV movie awards or the oscars?
Avatar?... God, those folks will be unbearable. Yuck.

A pretty decent list of noms overall.
It's going to be Del Toro's Pinocchio with the win.
I actually think Pinocchio has the best shot, with puss in boots having the most momentum and also having a shot. Turning red is at most an outsider imo.

Has anyone seen the Whale? Got swallowed up by Avatar at my local theatres here in Boston. Hopefully it hits streaming soon as I want to see that - I also want to catch up on RRR and maybe Elvis.
I can't see the academy 100% on board with Everything - I still think momentum builds behind Fabelmans or Banshees, maybe even Tar. There's a lot of time.

If there is any justice in this world, Puss in Boots should win that one.
Shame that it'll most likely go to Pinocchio.
Team Tár over here, my brain keep coming back to that movie. Haven't seen fabelmans or triangle of sadness yet though.
This is an interesting statistic. I went back through box office data a bit and it seems like the last time this happened was in 1982, with E.T. and Tootsie.
That's uh with only 5 noms back then though. Doubtful both Avatar and Top Gun get a nomination if the list of nominees was for 5 movies and not 10.
The first 2/3 of it is pretty damn bland and poorly scripted. That's my opinion anyways.
It's an action movie. Usually those get snubbed by the oscars.
I think it's an amazing movie, I'm just surprised, that's all.
Avatar... Let's just say I ignore most threads on the matter.
That's the exact reason they increased the potential nominees to 10 (it was a direct reaction to Dark Knight not getting a nod and the ensuing furor), and the first Avatar was nominated for BP, so the second one also being so is hardly the shock of the century.
This just feels like you're trying to poke at the people on Era who have legitimate issues with Cruise.
You don't actually think Cruise deserved a Best Actor nomination. Come on.
I thought Claudio would have snuck in there for TGM, same with Greig for THE BATMAN. I don't understand how the fuck AVATAR is in there for Production Design…the academy is on drugs.
Thats definitely how people have been using them in online discourse.
I havent seen Top Gun (either the original or the new one) but avatar 2? Come on with that. Does not deserve to be anywhere near EEAAO.
Okay, I see what you mean. It just looked weird seeing your list of actors with no context.
The Batman not getting recognize for cinematography and score is criminal(y insane). Aside from that nominations look as expected, gonna root for EEAO for everything.
Hoping for an EEAaO sweep.
I'd be good with Colin Ferrell taking lead actor.
Pinocchio for animated.
Haven't seen The Whale, but I won't be mad with Fraser winning, given the last decade.

Top Gun Maverick, which I haven't even seen, is one of the most critically-acclaimed movies of the year. It destroyed with absolutely every metric for critical adoration and audience enthusiasm (A+ Cinemascore). Another one where a best picture nomination is hardly startling, especially in a lineup of 10.
I was going to say Greg Fraiser not being nominated for Batman is the real snub here, but that's a solid lineup. Bardo basically replaced it if you go by the BAFTA nods, but I can't hate too much on it. That movie looked (and was) insane, and also got a nod from the ASC.

Best picture is really "Best Production". The amount of work to pull those movies off is staggering. They deserve the nominations.

They already gave her an honorary Oscar last year, but she still make songs for movies that doesn't exist.
My salty thoughts:
- Decision to Leave was robbed
- I hate the look of Sea Beasts, would have rather had Wendell and Wild there
- Why does the Academy love war movies so much?
- Why don't they just rename Production Design to "Biopics that made us miss the good ol days"

Maverick is very much a nostalgia bait film ala Jurassic World. It's why I'm moreso shocked it got nominated.
The Fabelmans is some of Kaminski's best work. That's the real cinematography snub.
