People are getting big mad online about no nominations for Margot Robbie or Greta Gerwig. And I'll admit, it is weird that they weren't nominated, but America Ferrera was.

It is definitely a weird move. Like it would be one thing if the movie got shut out but nominating everyone but those two is off.

Yeah, I'm also mad about Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie not getting nominated, as well as Charles Melton in supporting actor.

I would've liked to see Suzume get a nomination for best animated film and John Wick 4 get something for one of the technical categories. I'm also surprised to see absolutely zero representation of Ferrari, Asteroid City, and The Iron Claw on here. No idea why people are rewarding Maestro. Also, I've never heard of Nyad, but I suppose I'll look into it.

I am glad Past Lives got a Best Picture nod, though. I want that, Holdovers, or Killers of the Flower Moon to win.

I think I read something about Iron Claw getting hosed over by its release window? Like, A24 messed up and released it too late for most people deciding on nominations to have seen it in time. Something like that.

Woo 11 noms for Poor Things, it's gonna be a drunken Oscar night

wrt Suzume it had a presence at the Golden Globes, I think it could have made it in if GKids were distributing it instead of Crunchyroll because the former has experience in getting through the process. But hey there's a decent chance that Miyazaki gets another oscar so I'm not too sad of it.

Glad to see Poor Things nominated for a lot, it's a hell of a movie. Not glad to see Asteroid City get completely shut out, It's the best Wes in awhile (hell, I might even go as far as to call it his best ever?) but I guess the oscar voters want to see him do something completely different!

It's almost worse for Cooper that he's gotten multiple noms and isn't going to win a single one. No supporting for Penelope Cruz is bullshit. Margot didn't deserve the nomination, she got outshined as Barbie in a movie called Barbie by Ken. No Seesa or Melton is disappointing and might actually hurt both of their future prospects. The Nyad noms are lmao. Zero excitement for BP. It's felt for months that it's a race for second place behind Oppenheimer, and it would annoy me more for it not to win at this point because it's clearly the biggest achievement of cinema last year making almost a bill on a three hour adult drama about a controversial subject.

No Robbie and no Gerwig is crazy, they both should have been nominated. The director snub especially is going to be the story, though maybe they avoid it slightly with the Justine Triet nomination.

Dang they loved Maestro a lot more than me. I’d swap in Asteroid City for it in best pic easily.

Agreed on where’s Greta for director.

Also sad to see no Joe Hisaishi for score.

One day I’ll be able to see zone of interest to know it’s a real movie.

Barbie pulled off a minor miracle of making an entertaining movie out of what could have just been a commercial. I'm either way on Margo, largely because Gladstone was the clear MVP for me in last years films, but Greta is a hell of an omission for pulling that off.

i dunno, Poor Things and Beau Is Afraid are a pretty spot-on double feature (three hour long sexually charged production design art house epics from hot up-and-coming directors that seem to think they're way weirder and more provocative than they actually are). but Yorgos is an oscar guy and Ari isn't.

Maestro is for major Bernstein fans who are saying “ all the music and cool things he did? Don’t care about that. But did he argue with his wife? That’s what I want to know.”

I liked the first 30 mins actually and there’s some other fine sequences but really hard to connect it all.

Poor Things is 2h20min, and as discussed Yorgos was first nominated for an Oscar in 2009 and his films already had 12 noms.

And I actually don't think either director thinks of themself as being particularly weird (I know that for a fact about Yorgos). Thinking so is probably giving too much credence to the opinions of film dullards on twitter.

And I mean, I get the comparison, but Beau is a psychosexual nightmare panic attack, whereas PT is a psychosexual fantasia Frankenstein story distilling out elements of the feminist politics and socialism from the novel. They're quite different. Infinity Pool is also a psychosexual freakshow but I wouldn't program them all together, personally

It does feel like there's a bit of a "brand" there that he's maintaining. Like, people have an expectation when they see one of his movies and he doesn't seem to be deviating from that a whole lot. That's not necessarily a bad thing, you could say the same about someone like Wes Anderson, but if you enjoy that style then it's fine.

well yeah, Infinity Pool isn't three hours long (also, while Beau is Afraid and Poor Things were kind of mid, Infinity Pool was straight up bad)
