Which is how a film like Coda wins. I can see how The Holdovers or American Fiction could be a popular alternative choice. -- nm* - LMS Jan 23, 10:30 4
- 2022 was still dealing with COVID fallout. It's an anomaly in most ways. -- nm - Reagen Jan 23, 10:37 3
  - I don’t think Covid had a bearing on what won BP. The year previous, Nomadland won. Some years are just weak. -- nm - Loyola Jan 23, 10:51 2
    - That year was also hammered by COVID. it was two whole years where studios didn't want to put things out in theaters. -- nm - Reagen Jan 23, 11:02 1
      - True. I hadn’t thought of that. -- nm - Loyola Jan 23, 11:10
I don’t think there’s a big split this year. Oppenheimer is a dumb persons idea of a smart movie, which the academy will eat up -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 23, 09:58 12
- you can't agree w/ me so I am - dum Jan 23, 10:39 7
  - i'm not even reagen-level science smart and i knew that shit was dumbed down so he could spend the other 2 hours on banging commies and dumb legal - hollywood big shot Jan 23, 10:51 6
    - I love the science but a 3 hour physics lecture does not a compelling movie make - Reagen Jan 23, 11:07 5
      - I saw someone complain recently about how little science was in the movie - it’s a biopic and not a documentary. — nm - i.b! Jan 23, 11:12 3
        
        about one of the most consequential scientists of the 20th century, because of the very consequential science he did over four years in WWII -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 23, 11:15 2
        
        I haven’t yet seen it, but I wouldn’t expect a whole lot to be spelled out because most research is boring. did they not cover the big stuff/impact? -- nm - i.b! Jan 23, 11:23 1
        
        except the whole Manhattan Project wasn't boring (to the extent that watching science dorks rally together to build a mass-murder weapon from scratch - hollywood big shot Jan 23, 11:27
      - yes to your IM, especially -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 23, 11:09
- Greta has already eclipsed Damian Chazelle with her first three movies nominated as Best Pic (if you think that makes up for the BD snubs) but they - hollywood big shot Jan 23, 10:08 3
  - I’m of the thinking that there’ll be a split and Nolan will take Director, and a slower horse could be in the running for BP. - Loyola Jan 23, 10:14 2
    - yep. I personally think Oppy is the clear front runner and Poor Things is the Darkhorse here -- nm - Jovian Jan 23, 10:18
    - no, white Oscar voters are not going to reward a 3.5 hr exploration of their complicity. but hey Emma Stone fucks a lot in Poor Things! -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 23, 10:18
