YES. We all hate this movie in latin america

[@willgpb_]

I'm Still Here is the true representative of Latin America, let us let them know

[@CentraalHub]

The French already robbed an Oscar from Latin America using our stories, our sceneries and our talent (this not the case with Emilia) in 1960 with "Black Orpheus" which is also a colonialist approach to our problems!

[@themikejustice]

@@CentraalHub It's part of the Mexican national consciousness to always be sensitive to the idea that someone is "stealing" something from you, or inauthentically portraying you, etc. It's a leftover from when you were ruled by Spain. I guess it's understandable, but eventually you might want to get over that. Everyone has to grow up sometime.

[@heyitsmira17]

​​@@themikejustice this is such a laughable point, as if the US doesn't countinuously steal from Latin America to this day as we speak 💀 it's not something from the past, it is HERE and NOW.

OK, I have my thoughts on these nominations... 1. This is the same type of situation with avatar because Avatar (2009) was nominated for 9 Oscar's and when the second one came out nearly a decade later, it was nominated for only 4. I feel like the high budget movies that end ends up as a sequel will get less nominations because of its same type of "style" that's how I feel but it's pretty hard to explain..- 2. A lot by myself is Hispanic and I didn't know much about Emilia Pérez and I was sort of rooting for it, but once it won the Golden Globes, I noticed that a lot of people were giving a huge negativity and once my friend who is from Mexico herself, she explained to me why and I washed it myself and I'm absolutely disgusted on how this French movie is being recognized. It makes me feel so mad that this director how do use such a massive stereotypical on a lot of controversies within Latin America, especially not doing a proper research about the Latin America and the actual story. It sucks so much about it and I hate the fact that it's been nominated for 13 times. I will never forgive the Oscars for that or any other award shows that gave this movie high praise... 3. I feel like the best picture lineup is decent enough. I feel like a complete unknown is a mediocre movie like it's a good movie but it's not like bad. It's like maybe like a 7/10 movie. I was expecting for like four nominations or less, but I am surprised that it was able to get such a high amount of nominations, especially the most shocking part directing. The brutalist is like my most top 15 movies of 2024 not so serious about it. It is my type of movie that I really love about everything of it but for some reason it's just not hitting me hard enough for some reason. I was expecting nickel boys to have more nominations like at least some type of acting or mainly cinematography. But it's like giving me vibes of like past lives and women talking. But I'm mostly happy that the movie I am still here was nominated. It was actually one of the most shocking moment ever because it was not even in my top 10 predictions for best picture and I have to say I am happy for the people of Brazil, especially Fernanda Torres. But it's now making me think since it's both nominated for international future and best picture. I feel like I'm still here will probably win international future film because the Oscars might realize mistakes they did on nominating Emilia Pérez. 5. I think the directing category was already predicted that Denis was gonna get snubbed anyway because other award shows were starting to completely have hit and miss with him by nominating him, so it's pretty much unsurprising for me. But I am surprised and upset that Edward Berger was not nominated for director for Conclave.

@@devonmunn5728Absolutely true! …and all involved got paid for their work.

[@Windandwater1818]

And yet, curiously enough, with all the different things you could be doing, you're here commenting about The Academy even though, "It's as if it doesn't even exist anymore." Hmm, interesting...

[@SumDumGy]

@@Windandwater1818Far less curious than you reading so much into it. I was a scrolling through KZbin as we all do, came across this video, saw the title, clicked it, dropped a comment, read a few others, and moved on.

[@DanV150]

Challengers being shut out was frankly insane. I know it had no shot, but the editing in Strange Darling was fantastic.

[@therobbrownchannel5079]

Should have been a lock for score.

[@kylec1836]

There has to be a true crime documentary that will come out someday about who had to be bribed to nominate Emilia Pérez that much….what are we doing here?

[@InimicusSolitus]

Denis Villeneuve is one of the top creative directors working today. The man has vision.

[@johnherman6631]

I agree with you 100%. Worst list of nominations in history. This will make the Academy Awards unwatchable. So many snubs: Villeneuve for Dune, Eggers for Nosferatu… I could go on forever!!

[@nomfymoloi]

I just saw online that The Academy is selling "Nominees To Be Determined" t-shirts, which is weird

[@C23_I]

Nosferatu not only not getting nominated for best picture, but also not getting nominated for best director, lead actress, best lead actor/supporting actor, film editing, adapted screenplay, nor even best sound is just a crime against cinema…

[@armando5846]

Those were never gonna happen. But I'd happily substitute EP for it in most categories.

[@azula3906]

It was a very disappointing movie. Eggers needs to return to his roots. His last 2 films were ass.

[@gregbors8364]

It was good but not great. It’s a pretty faithful remake of the other two movies by that name, so I found it kind of boring. Lily Rose-Depp was pretty good but I mostly remember her just doing a lot of shaking. None of the other actors stood out at all

[@godabandonedthistimeline]

The score was also amazing

[@ElimRem]

Emilia Perez 13 noms, return of the king 11 noms

[@mhawang8204]

Woof, that hurts.

[@anthonys.8569]

Defies reason

[@secularmonk6527]

Those nominations were a total joke. Dune Part 2 was the best film of the year and deserved far more than it got (at least give Denis his directors nomination). I wasn't the biggest fan of Anora (it was underwhelming for me). Emilia Perez was better for me than Anora but its still a weak entry. Part of me wants Emilia Perez to sweep just to show what a joke the academy awards were this year.

[@patrickclemens]

Have to agree with your assessment of a Complete Unknown, thought it was fine but nothing special. Went into it with the question "what is gained from a feature film of this story that the documentaries haven't already shown" and the answer was very little, just a somewhat embellished account of Dylan's relationship with Woody Guthrie, and a deeper, more understanding look at Pete Seeger's experience and dedication to folk music, I did like seeing the nods for Norton and Barbaro, thought they both did terrific

[@BertottiThiago]

It's shocking that "Emília Perez" is the most nominated movie of the year. Did they watch the same film I did? Terrifying!

[@martin43427]

I feel like the Oscars go through a pendulum swing every year (or even every other year). For every Oppenheimer, Everything Everywhere or Parasite we have a Coda, Green Book, and Bohemian Rhapsody type of contenders. This year they’re on a downward after 2 years great films everyone can agree they love. My hope is next year will be better. But I will also take wins here. The fact that a body horror movie like The Substance can get Picture, Director, Actress and more is cool. I’m Still Here getting in without showing up anywhere for Best Picture is great. Nickel Boys, for as experimental and different it is, still surprised me by getting into Picture. It got the Past Lives/Women Talking treatment (Picture and Screenplay dual nominations). It’s clear the academy doesn’t appreciate certain types of films. Movies like Challengers or Dune 2 (sci-fi in general) can’t catch a break with the ever-changing demos of the Academy. Also clear that they were early Spring releases and the Academy essentially relegated their attention for movies that premiered at Cannes and Fall Festivals and forward.

[@affonsocordovil2932]

Everything Everywhere is horrible

[@brucericketts3943]

Don’t apologize!!! I’m with you on everything Dune 2!!!

[@wratched]

The problem with editing is that you only notice it when it's done badly. I am certain that the Academy has no idea what makes good editing and just hands the award to the Best Picture winner as ballast.

[@ImpressionBlend]

See, you would think since the Editing Branch of the Academy are the ones who nominate movies for editing this wouldn't be an issue... but here we are

[@DanV150]

⁠@@ImpressionBlendRemember when Bohemian Rhapsody won for Best Editing? It doesn’t make sense how bad that branch is at nominations.

[@ImpressionBlend]

@@DanV150 "Bohemian Rhapsody" winning anything doesn't make sense to me

[@DanV150]

@@ImpressionBlend That is true! Rami Malek winning Best Actor for that impression was crazy. The awards season made a turn toward him that year when it seemed like it would be Cooper. I understand Bayley Cooper has been chasing that Oscar and the one time I get it, that happens.

[@corjanhuijsmans5822]

Couldn’t agree more with you. Dune part 2 is by far the best movie last year and snubbing Denis as a director is a disgrace. 😵

[@dukeon]

I’m a liberal Democrat but Hollywood fawning over Emilia Pérez - this part of the party is why we lose elections. Get this fake shit outta here and reward people making real movies 🤦🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️

I heard over a month ago how great Emilia Perez was… then recently I heard how awful it was. This afternoon, I watched it and it was awful! WTF?! If this wins even 6 Oscars - I’m done - Netflix pulled a Weinstein if it actually wins awards. We’re going to find out voters were bought off years from now. Hopefully, it’s this years Maestro.

[@facshc4918]

It’s criminal that Jon M. Chu was snubbed for “Wicked”! Ten nominations but somehow he had nothing to do with any of it?

[@NightimeInDeepSpace]

they think emilia perez is on par with All About Eve, Titanic, Forest Gump and LotR. my sides are in orbit.

[@sandraztavarez3525]

They totally snubbed an amazing film like Challengers so they could nominate a pile of crap like Emilia Perez in literally every category. Challengers and Conclave have been my two favorites so far and I’ve watched about 30 of the ones with awards buzz and nominations. Still need to see: A Complete Unknown, Nickleboys, I’m Still Here, September 5, A Different Man and Nosferatu. I’ve seen the rest. Conclave and Challengers are still my top 2 and I’m pissed how Challengers was treated at the Oscars.

[@thebatmanbadass30000]

I was so angry when the batman wasn't nominated for at least the score. Ugh dune 2 was robbed

[@Escherlife]

Emilia Perez getting so many nominations is just DEI virtue signalling.

[@mallaryroberts3346]

Original score and Dune isn’t listed?!?!?!? That music is stunning…………..and it’s a sequel, you can’t change the theme of a score or we’d all be realllll confused lol

[@beachdweller]

Dune pt 2 not getting director nod doesn’t bother me as much as his snub last year, kills me that it’s directors that are responsible for this

[@codyprice2616]

The James Mangold nomination is more for like “sorry we didn’t put you in for Ford v Ferrari a few years ago. We screwed this up and well put you in now for this to make up for the mistake from the past.”

[@ADifferentVibe]

Such BS. Supposed to be best films and achievement for the year, not best career.

[@josecoba6998]

At this point i feel Emilia Pérez Is a total insult to cinema. I cant express how much yes i hate the fact ITS getting all those nominations WITHOUT any merit!!!!! ITS insulting and a bad joke for audience.

[@lvzane]

Everyone’s either hating on Emilia Perez or cheering for Brazil, and here I am, just feeling proud and overjoyed for Flow-a double nominee proudly representing my small country. ❤🇱🇻 The Golden Globe has been put on display at the Latvian National Museum of Art, and every day, people have been queuing up to see it (you can google LNMM). This speaks volumes about how much it means to us. Hopefully, we’ll see an Oscar alongside it. But even if not, this entire journey has been incredibly moving-from Cannes to Annecy, and later winning European Animated Feature Film at the European Film Awards in December. This movie is a a matter of national significance.

[@blrbrazil1718]

I'm looking forward to seeing it. Heard good things about Flow.

[@mattheendpod2659]

It’s such a dreary list of noms. Also, we’re basically at the point whereby we may as well simply give say, 10 films an honorary award because the same films are in every category.

[@icreateworlds]

I’m totally done with American Hollywood stuff. There’s so much awesome films outside Hollywood and outside America right now that is just a waste of time to even look first to Hollywood for good movies. Watch the 2024 French version of The Count of Monte Cristo for example and you’ll get that Hollywood is pretty useless nowadays.

[@LycanVisuals]

Denis snubbed back to back lmao I'm sick to my stomach. How are Wicked and Emilia beating up everybody? Really tough scene.

[@debatidadehuevos1125]

I don’t know if there’s something with the language barrier, but I don’t think Karla Sofia Gascon and Zoe Saldana deserved their nominations. As a Spanish speaker they were really bad to me, I would have given those spots to Margaret Qualley and Tilda Swinton or Angelina Jolie.

[@erinnadia0409]

Challangers not getting original score is a crime! It was honestly my most listened to music from 2025 😅

For years, a local group of friends and I had a Oscar awards pool. After the Birdman era, the event faded to black. The movies aren't worth watching. Maybe the Oscars should be suspended until a movie that compares to predecessors comes along. Not enough good movies anymore to warrant awards.

If I had a Nickel on how many times you ranted on Emilia Perez 13 Oscar Nominations. Con: Dune: Part Two ended up being LOTR: The Two Towers as many people we're expecting, especially with "Recent See" bias, it would've done better last year Nominations wise if the Strikes didn't happen now looking at this. Pro: They did do better Respect on the Animated Films then the last 2 years, with The Wild Robot getting 3 & Flow getting the double for Animated & International, a better improvement.

[@Activation1111]

Sounds like ‘nominees to be determined’,, means who are they willing to give credit to,, to boost their careers. Who are they willing to snub with in the group,, that will not get the career bump from winning an Oscar. So basically it’s politics within the group. Whoever they decide to snub,, will be promised that they will get their nomination and possible. Oscar win in some distant future. By the way, Dune being snubbed,, is absolutely ridiculous. It only reveals the fact that the Oscars has got to be rigged. Just like sports,,, and everything else.

[@MithraAnahita]

Let’s face it, if Emilia Perez had a 10 min animation in the movie (Harry Potter Deathly Hallows style), it would be nominated for best animation too 🙄 what a joke

5, 10, 20 years from now no one will remember Emilia Perez or most of these movies, but you know what question will be asked for decades: How did Denis Villeneueve get snubbed for both Dune movies despite making the definitive sci-fi epic of the decade? Same goes for Robert Eggers who is looking like a young Chris Nolan getting snubbed for everything until he makes a biopic or something acceptable to the Academy.

Oh it’ll be remembered. We still remember Crash 😂 probably not the notoriety the movie makers go for… 😂
