We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
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.

The more I think about it, the more annoyed I am at all of the Maestro nominations.

My opinion of Oppenheimer has also dipped from great to pretty good; I think it just straight-up loses the head-to-head with Killers of the Flower Moon. I already know I'm going to be annoyed throughout the ceremony as it wins 5+ trophies.

I went to go see Perfect Days, and I loving loved it. It would've rounded out my top-five if I had seen it before the forum vote.

No opinion about the animated shorts since I didn't see those, but I'm 2/2 on my preferred picks so far. I expect the remainder to be a bloodbath of Oppenheimer's bullshit, though.

OK, I just gotta invert my thinking: every category that Oppenheimer and Maestro were nominated for but lose is a win

Makes me sad as I loved this one, but when you break it down to individual categories then there’s something else that exceeds it. People who haven’t seen it should tho, it just hits.

So maybe it should be Best Picture

There were some things tonight that made me happy (Boy and the Heron, Zone of Interest x2, Godzilla), but Oppenheimer ruined the night.

I thought it was solid when I saw it last summer, but I've just seen so, so, so many films since then that I enjoyed and/or appreciated so much more since then.

Killers is infinitely better paced than Oppenheimer which just loving meanders up to the point I turned it off (1.5 hrs or so).

Killers felt like a 2 hour movie to me; Oppenheimer felt like every single minute of its runtime
