CODA was the year of Dune but the academy was too afraid of Dune's power.

Yeah Coda year had Power of the Dog, Drive my car, and west side story all of which could have been solid winners. But I guess there was no big film everyone was united for like the last two years. So the most feel good movie gets enough 1st and 2nd place votes in ranked choice.

Green Book over Roma, or even A Star Is Born, was much worse.

Licorice Pizza has a sad ending, right? That's what I took away from it but it seemed like most people didn't see it that way

Movie definitely doesn't want you to take it that way. It's an uplifting ending based on music and how it's shot.

I read it's ending as kinda like The Graduate, a moment of happiness for the characters but one that's part of a complex larger life with its ups and downs, not a Happily Ever After.

That's what I took away from it but it seemed like most people didn't see it that way lol no it's definitely "yay this 27-year-old is finally getting together with this 17-year-old" Or something along those age lines. It's really hard to tell how much time is supposed to pass in that movie. The precocious teen starts at 15 and goes through careers as an actor, an owner of a talent agency, a water bed salesman, and a pinball arcade owner through the course of the film. Maybe he's supposed to be a good bit older by the end. Edit: Google says 3 years pass through the whole movie PostNouveau fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Mar 11, 2024 |

Lid posted:Or Blackkklansmen or The Favourite Not only that but Sam Claflin says he regrets making it and that he only did it chasing clout. As for Licorice Pizza, I thought it was sad because the main character was too good for him. The whole truck scene really hammered home how she was smart and capable and he was a doofus but then options were slim for smart, capable women in the 70s so she had to settle for him.

She's a loving mess, dude. Completely aimless and under the thumb of her domineering parents well into her 20s. She lets a 15-year-old run her life for 3 years.

I took licorice pizza as a celebration of being young in all of its different shades of emotion. none of it matters, they have so much life ahead of them, but in the moment it couldn't matter more.

Speaking of Godzilla Minus One, Kamiki was the snub of the year, since he gave the performance of the year.

Go Go Godzilla For the video editing category, is it always a one person award? That seems like way more of a team thing then a solo effort

The only acclaimed thing I haven’t seen this year is Zone of Interest, which I’m seeing next week. Everything else was underwhelming. My favorites so far are Poor Things and Perfect Days, but even they were flawed. I still think the best year this side of the millennium was 2015. You may not like everything on the Best Picture nominee list but in terms of genre it’s a diverse slate. There’s gotta be at least two or three things you enjoy: 1. Spotlight (winner) 2. The Big Short 3. Bridge of Spies 4. Brooklyn 5. Mad Max: Fury Road 6. The Martian 7. The Revenant 8. Room I liked every one of these. And they even managed to have a deserving winner that most people agree on.

Here's a two part take: Gladstone's role in killers is arguably supporting, not lead. DJR was good, better than the other noms I've seen in that category, but that probably would have been more competitive.

Also, Minus One not being nominated for best Foreign film is a crime (hell, personally I would've given it Best Film over Oppie as well).

Apparently the producers intentionally asked Dunkaccino not to name the nominees, under the reasoning that they would probably be over time by then (they weren't) and people just wanted to get it over with by that point https://variety.com/2024/film/news/al-pacino-apology-best-picture-announcement-backlash-oscars-1235938720/
