[@luketaylor1305]

I know this is a toxic perspective but Wes Anderson's style, to ME, is getting stifling. It's just so overt and samey now that it feels like a slightly pretentious Caricature of itself. Grant Budapest Hotel is one of my favourites, and without that (again, probably unfair) feeling of 'im sick of this style', Asteroid City is another great film of his.

fun fact: when justine triet won the palme d'or for anatomy of a fall, she did her speech criticizing the government's repression of protests against reforms in the past year + the treatment of artists in france and the little financing they get from the government. the authorities didn't like this, the prime minister publicly said she didn't want to watch the movie because of that speech. anatomy of a fall was not chosen to represent france despite being a box office and critical success (coincidence?) but now it was nominated for five oscars, and prestigious ones at that :)

[@adrianavalencia4134]

Crazy that the academy still can’t imagine putting more than one woman for the directing category

[@gaufkyeself]

Maybe more women should direct the top tier movies? Ya'll get your diversity picks in almost every major category yearly now in case there's no suitable great option. Unlike Triet's Anatomy of a Fall. Well deserved, and not a diversity pick. Don't get me wrong, Greta deserved a nom for best director, but so did others who didn't make it. All the directors who got noms deserved it for their skill shown in their films. Get used to it. And before you cry bigot; I think Glandstone deserves best actress and Randolph for supporting actress. It just so happens the best of the noms for these categories were pocs this time. And sometimes they won't be. That's how life works. Grow up. Also according to google about 10-22% of top 250 grossing films are directed by women. There are 5 directorial slots. That means, yes on average women should make up 1 or 2 of those slots. But how many years are there where out of the 5 or so best directed films, 2 of those are women? They're often more inexperienced in the medium (as they have been left out for so long), and are starting to gain respect and ability to produce the projects they want to.

There really aren't diversity picks anymore; the competence of non-white non-male artists is pretty much evident at this point. Greta directed Barbie better than Yorgos directed Poor Things and I prefer Poor Things to Barbie. Better cast, better flow, better performances and blocking. Responding to someone pointing out sexism in the director's branch by telling them to grow up is kind of immature. 30% of this year's Best Picture movies were directed by women. 2 slots, one wide open for Greta or even Celine. For both to miss is notable.

The reality of nominations is that a lot of it has to with campaigning and encouraging basic interest among academy voters (a lot of them being older working professionals who aren't as extensively plugged into the scene and often have to have new things coming out directly broadcast/marketed to them. Big reason May December got so little was because Netflix put all of their campaign money into Maestro. Mubi, a niche platform a good majority of Academy voters likely don't have, is not going to have the money to launch an awards campaign for a movie they can only watch on a service they don't care to get.

There are several constants to every Oscar nomination group: 1. The obligatory Diane Warren slot for Best Song 2. The Academy likes to shower their darlings (John Williams for example) 3. The documentary group *never* nominates the popular ones (Remember the Mister Roger's and Jane Goodall snubs?) 4. At least one Japanese and indie animated film for Animated Feature.

[@kingkiller5325]

Japanese animated films only get nominated if they are a Studio Ghibli film. Outside of that they always get snubbed. Great Anime films like Your Name, A Silent Voice, Paprika, Tokyo Godfathers, The Girl Who Lept through Time, Wolf Children, Maquia and I want to eat your Pancreas didn't get nominated. Even this Year Suzume while bieng a better film than Elemental didn't get nominated because it wasn't a Ghibli film.

"20 days in Mariupol" is must watch Karsten!!!

[@arrangedmonster]

Really happy and surprised to see El Conde nominated for cinematography, it was shot beautifully.

[@HistoryfortheAges]

Oppenheimer was excellent. As a history professor I really enjoyed it. Much better than Napoleon! I made historical reviews of both if anyone wants to check them out.

[@darkgate33]

Is there a particular reason behind Oscars hatred towards Makoto Shinkai’s works ?? This is the 3rd time he gets snubbed out of nomination, Your Name, Weathering with You and now Suzume….

[@kingkiller5325]

He doesn't make his films with Ghibli. That's it. The Academy doesn't nominate any Anime film that is not a Ghibli film.

[@reihino6347]

I can’t believe asteroid city didn’t get anything especially on the cinematography, production design front.

[@millystars]

I was hoping may december would win the best picture so upset by the snub 😭 id still be very happy if poor things won though

[@miloa.2684]

Hell yeah happy to see The Creator get a nomination even if it’s just for sound (that movie had amazing sound design and mixing. It rumbled in Dolby Cinema and it rumbled in my little home theater.)

[@krule274]

I don't watch the Oscar noms. I just watch Karsten reacting to them 'cause it's WAY more fun.

[@flzrian3623]

I hope the Boy and the Heron gets it but I don't know if they'll do it because I think the Academy knows that Miyazaki won't show up again

[@Vorelociraptor]

tbh i’m livid that barbie didn’t get a hair nom as someone who works professionally in hair, bc the sheer amount of labor the hair department put into just margot’s wigs blows every other nom out of the water. i genuinely mean this when i say that it had some of the most impressive hair design i’ve seen in years.

[@taylorknowles2567]

yes ! & I’m sure you’ve seen the videos explaining how they had to get the right shades w the sets & everything, SOOO many wigs ! I couldn’t stop staring at them.

[@laurajones1773]

It wasn’t on the Oscar shortlist. The Academy prefers makeup and protestics instead of hairstyling.

[@taylorknowles2567]

@@laurajones1773 true ! I had hoped it would fit into the H&MU category, maybe it’ll get best production design !

[@space_1073]

Can anybody explain to me who the oscars are even for? People that care about films always just seem upset at the picks being incredibly off, and people who don't care about movies don't really watch the oscars, and if they do they only care about viral moments that have nothing to do with movies. I just roll my eyes at anyone getting their hopes up for a win or routing for their favorite thing because it literally doesn't matter if we can all agree the academy is inconsistent and usually gets it wrong. Someone who watches annually: help me understand, or are you all just watching this to pass time.

[@MusicMan75636]

I feel like iron claw is being undersold for these, I mean I was sobbing. Sure a lot of the other catorgies for iron claw played it safe but the acting was incredible far better than what cooper was doing.

[@emma-xt5iy]

Are gonna get a zone of interest video because I would love to hear your thoughts

[@pau8957]

so happy to see society of the snow and anatomy of a fall getting their deserved nominations amongst all of the american/british productions. really hope society gets best make up and hairstyling because the way the survivors looked like in the film took their performances to another level, sadly i know maestro is probably going to win.

[@crossbone321]

Asteroid City snubbing hurts

[@tonyaj7]

Oppenheimer got snubbed for VFX because of the "No CGI" chants. The people in those fields vote for the nominees, so they gave Oppenheimer the same energy.

[@conniep46]

have you watched society of the snow and what did you think of it?

[@arnavrajadhyax2580]

I would have loved spiderverse to be a best picture nominee over maestro but the academy would never dare respect animation

[@derg6222]

Spider-verse should have been nominated for best score, best adapted screenplay and best picture and obviously for best animated feature. Maybe even best vfx, but thats debatable. The fact, that it was ignored in the other categories proves once more how close minded the academy is, despite labeling themselves as progressive and forward thinking.

[@arnavrajadhyax2580]

@@derg6222 Exactly. Just when i thought they would improve after last years ceremony, but no. The academy sucks

My pick for best actress is also Lily, I’m PRAYING she wins buttttt just given how the other award shows are going I think Emma Stone is gonna get it. Lily wasn’t even nominated at BAFTA, which is not a good sign

Where would Zone of Interest be in your top favs 2023??? (It’s my #2)

[@ayodeledavid3034]

I want to ask everyone’s opinion here, do you feel like Box Office hits or Movie Internet Phenomenon (BarbieHeimer) should influence whether a film should be nominated because personally I feel like Oppenheimer and barbier having nominations was mostly due to its popularity cause sure they were great films but I feel like there were underrated films that deserve better but because they weren’t as popular they got swept under the carpet

[@Soup_of_goop]

Low key the colors on 2024 in the thumbnail low key made me think this was a jacksfilms video for a moment. Still gonna watch this cause it’s fun

Agree with most of your picks but best picture definitely the holdovers or oppenheimer >>>>
