Has the Mission Impossible series ever won an Oscar? I hope it wins something this year. -- nm - Loyola Jan 23, 06:48 3
- I doubt they've been previously nominated -- nm - Roger More Jan 23, 06:53 2
  - No Oscar noms previously. #6 got a BAFTA nom for sound. -- nm - ty97 Jan 23, 06:58
  - Yes, these are the first ever noms. -- nm - Reagen Jan 23, 06:54
With 3 nominations today, Bradley Cooper is now at 12 total. -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 06:43 2

- that was my word of the day too! If given a dozen chances, I could neither spell nor pronounce this correctly -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Jan 23, 06:39 1
  - Though this video makes it seem like it is something only for young women, I have a Sehnsucht to be able to do this in 2 years. -- (link) - crash davis 😺 Jan 23, 06:41 [youtube]
Was salt burn supposed to not get anything? That seemed like it was pure bait. - Will Hunting Jan 23, 06:35 2
- Saltburn was never really in play. Rosamund Pike was a longshot with some technical categories like cinematography. -- nm - Dano Jan 23, 06:38
- Saltburn was definitely not bait, it was geared towards the internet. -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 06:37

- Oscar nominee America Ferrera -- nm - ty97 Jan 23, 06:12 5

    - Am I going to have to shiv a ginger? -- nm - Meryl Streep Jan 23, 06:53
    - And she was overlooked for her best - the Billie Jean King role. By far better than LaLaLand -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 23, 06:51
    - She also gets a Best Picture nom for Poor Things. -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 06:42
    - She is my pick. She committed to that role with a ferocity that puts all those method dudes to shame. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jan 23, 06:18
- I've seen 5 of the BP nominees which is probably the best I've done in the past 15 years. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jan 23, 06:12 6
  - Also 5 here. I'd have to go with Oppenheimer as my choice. - Baron the Wonder Horse Jan 23, 06:25 3
    - I haven't seen American Fiction yet, if you recommend it that highly I guess I'll try to catch it on media -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jan 23, 06:26 2
      - A delightful, and arguably self-referential, movie. Jeffrey Wright kills it and I'm happy to see him get a nom. -- nm - Baron the Wonder Horse Jan 23, 06:45
      - It’s quite good. -- nm - spamlet Jan 23, 06:26
  - Seen 4, interested in 3 more that I never got to. No interest in a couple. - spamlet Jan 23, 06:18
  - of the five I've seen, I'd like to say Oppenheimer or KOTFM for BP, but I think Poor Things is actually my choice nmbddhatwr - crash davis 😺 Jan 23, 06:15
- what was Barbie adapted from ? -- nm - decline Jan 23, 06:08 3
  - just based on the doll -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Jan 23, 06:09 2
    - But movies based on real people are original unless they were specifically adapted from another work. (Maestro) -- nm - Dano Jan 23, 06:41 1
      - Real life is not another "media", I think they will argue. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 23, 06:49
- Oppenheimer: 13 Poor Things: 11 Killers of the Flower Moon: 10 Barbie: 8 Maestro: 7 The Holdovers: 5 American Fiction: 5 The Zone of Interest: 5 Anatomy of a Fall: 5 Napoleon: 3 -- nm* - budice Jan 23, 06:07 1
  - That's 5 noms too much to Napoleon. - Marlowe Jan 23, 06:41
- Less bad than I was expecting. Still, so far only one film in BP within my Top 10. - Marlowe Jan 23, 06:00 5
  - Just got Poor Things left to see, my screening on Sunday was cancelled. -- nm - LMS Jan 23, 06:04 4

      - Of the 9 I've seen, Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers and Oppenheimer were my favourites so far. -- nm - LMS Jan 23, 06:18 1
        
        Anatomy of a Fall is the sole one in my Top 10 so far. KotFM is close but outside. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 23, 06:21
    - it's my fave of my top ten -- nm - mud Jan 23, 06:06
Barbie got a nom for America Ferrara, but no Director for Gerwig or Actress for Robbie. -- nm* - MDH Jan 23, 05:53 7
