I don't usually get worked up about Oscar noms, but this is some garbage across the board.
really? did you see last year's? this is honestly one of the strongest showings in some time.

Not a great morning for A24.Absolutely zero for Uncut Gems and Farewell seems odd. Moreso for Farewell
It's the same Mosfilm restoration.
The inexplicable editing snub is the big monkey wrench in OUaTiH's Best Picture aspirations.Once Upon A Time seems like the safest bet for Best Picture to me. The Academy loves films about filmmaking, Tarantino doesn't have a Best Picture win yet and it's nominated in lots of categories.
Stats like these don't mean anything unless one can explain a deeper relationship between the two nominations and a win.The inexplicable editing snub is the big monkey wrench in OUaTiH's Best Picture aspirations.
The last film to win Best Picture without an editing nomination AND without a silly "one shot" gimmick to excuse its absence was... get this... Ordinary People in 1980.
That's how significant a snub this is. It's a HUGE deal.
Waking up to all those Jojo noms makes me want to go back to sleep.
It's nothing like an Edgar Wright movie. At all.Jojo Rabbit is just Green Book for people who love Edgar Wright movies
It's nothing like an Edgar Wright movie. At all.
It's more like a Disney-approved and diluted, sanitised rip-off of a Wes Anderson film.
I'm guessing you've seen maybe one Edgar Wright film in your life. Maybe two. Shame.It's similar to an Edgar Wright film in that it's unfunny and boring but people love to insist that it's very good actually

Maybe compared to the rest of his filmography (though I'd hold it higher than World's End). But sucked is a bit strong considering some of the films we get on the regular that actually suck.I would like to take this time to say that Baby Driver hella sucked
I never thought about it at the time of watching but in my recollection of the movie, it feels like Brad Pitt is the main character over Leo.
I was surprised about that, too. The story is entirely driven by Pitt.
If Hollywood wins for anything other than Pitt I quit the Oscar stuff totally.

Taika has done enough films that you need not compare his comedic style to another director. Cmon now.
Also, he's better at combining drama and comedy than Wright or Andersen.
Come now... the Production Design wasn't THAT bad.If Hollywood wins for anything other than Pitt I quit the Oscar stuff totally.
Yes, and really.really? did you see last year's? this is honestly one of the strongest showings in some time.
are you sure?
Can't deny the Welsh pope his nom. I mean, you just can't nom one pope and not the other. It wouldn't be right.Willem Defoe's performance in The Lighthouse was one of the best I have ever seen and he doesn't even get a nomination lmao
Brad Pitt in supporting is 100% category fraud but whatever. That boat has sailed when Rooney Mara and Alicia Vikander got nominated for Best Supporting Actress when they have over 61% screen time
Not all of us are able to value the film equivalent of Rick and Morty, sadly. Wish I could be an enlightened genius that could.

When your acting nom will be the film's only nom, it's easy to get snubbed at the Oscars even if you were getting recognition in precursors. Same goes for Lupita, she had some notice but would have been the only nom for Us. Even if they're just song noms, Judy and Harriet (real original titles there) do have a second nom.You're absolutely right. Zellweger was getting nominated regardless.
Awkwafina needed Erivo to miss and for the Academy to feel that giving Erivo a nomination for Best Song was enough.
And that's a difficult feat to pull off when Erivo's film made almost three times as much at the box office as hers.
And was entirely in English.
And had her playing a famous American.
The only other possibility would have been Ronan. And the Academy loves to nominate Ronan.
Largely because Saoirse Ronan is consistently awesome.
Couple that with Little Women's Best Picture presence and it was always going to be an uphill battle for Awkwafina.
Come now... the Production Design wasn't THAT bad.
Barbara Ling and Nancy Haigh did an impressive job recreating 1969 Hollywood.
I was already part time when Titanic won it all.Not over 1917 for me.Come now... the Production Design wasn't THAT bad.

Better start typing up that letter of resignation.
This might sound weird to some of ya'll, but did Adam Sandler get snubbed?
Another war setting film getting a nod. How predictable.
I thought Pesci deserved it specifically because he didn't dominate the film. It was the complete opposite of his performances in Goodfellas or Casino, loud and brash and in your face. He did a superb job reminding everyone who remembers him post-retirement for Goodfellas and Home Alone that he has much more range than just "short angry asshole".A Best Supporting Actor nod for Pesci but nothing for De Niro?! That's some bollocks. Don't get me wrong, Pesci is good in The Irishman, but it's not exactly an Oscar-worthy performance. As for Pacino, anyone could see that nomination from a mile away. He dominates in that movie.
Shame about Uncut Gems getting snubbed. Really wanted to see Adam Sandler get nominated, if purely for the disbelief factor.
