Oscar Nominations Reaction Video 2024!

[@kelleyceccato7025]

Did anyone else really appreciate the energy and enthusiasm with which Jack Quaid and Zazie Beetz read these announcements? So often, the chosen announcers read off the nominees in a staid, somber tone. These two actually sound excited about the films and performances that earned nominations. While I was more pleased than dismayed by this round of nominations -- Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret was never going to get any nominations, however much I loved that film -- I'm disappointed to see the continuing tradition of shutting animated features out of every category EXCEPT Best Animated Feature. Joe Hisaichi's score for The Boy and the Heron was deserving of a nomination in every way; instead John Williams gets his umpteenth nomination for his score for a mediocre film. Also, Greta Lee? ROBBED. Celine Song? Likewise in the Directing category, though at least she still has a shot at a Screenplay win.

[@isuriadireja91]

Anyone is better than the embarrassing Tiffany Haddish.

[@singstreetcar5881]

They were great presenters. They were happy and grateful to be there.

[@laurajones1773]

Or Spiderverse for score.

[@PowerDiva]

I noticed this too... AND (from what I can tell) they pronounced everyone's name correctly, even the foreign ones. Which is really the most important part of this job. Nothing like being nominated for an Oscar and having your name butchered. These two were WAY better than Cedric the Entertainer and Wilmer Valderrama, who sounded like they were reading a book report in middle school.

[@rfrolicarts]

I agree. Sometimes it feels like we're scraping the bottom of the barrel with people who can barely enunciate or pronounce names. These two did it right

Happy for Sandra Huller she is phenomenal in Anatomy of a Fall.

[@Jared_Wignall]

I’m completely happy with Oppenheimer’s 13 nominations. I really think this is Christopher Nolan’s year to win finally as well as RDJ’s. I’d love to see Cillian Murphy win also as well as the score, cinematography and editing. I’m sure it’ll win in technical categories, but I’m happy overall, even if it didn’t get the Visual Effects nomination, though that’s mainly due to it not getting on the short list and there’s been quite a bit discussed about that on the interwebs. Thank you for the video Rob, keep up the great work and take care!

[@samuelbarber6177]

If Oppenheimer had gotten that Best Visual Effects nomination, it would be in the top four most nominated films at the Academy, with the top three (All About Eve, Titanic, La La Land) all sharing 14 nominations.

[@kingkiller5325]

​@veronicaa.1416I'd add Best Cinematography to that. Oppenheimer is more or less a lock for Cinematography too. Also if the Academy has any sense it would leave with Best Editing. It also helps that Oppenheimer won Best Editing at the Critics Choice Awards. Realistically, barring a huge upset or a last minute surge for another movie. Oppenheimer will leave with atleast 6 Oscars. Best Picture Best Director Best Supporting Actor Best Cinematography Best Score Best Editing

[@rebekahp4083]

I kind of expected it after the BAFTA snub, but I feel bad for Greta. She wrote and directed the highest grossing film of the year and one of the most critically respected of the year and that still wasn’t enough. This reminded me of Denis missing for Dune….sigh. At least she still has a good shot in screenplay.

[@spacecadet2172]

She was nominated for screenplay

[@simplyrowen]

It was a stacked year and the academy is notorious for not having the same appreciation for horror and slapstick comedy as they did to drama. But at least she got in for screenplay.

[@Jules2439.5]

Melton deserved the whole win for supporting actor in my opinion 😞

[@B.Arthur]

@@Jules2439.5 I feel like Downey has had this sewn up from the jump, but that disappoints me because between Gosling and Melton we got two REALLY unusual and special supporting performances this year. I don’t think Downey jumping on the Nolan prestige train is going to be a satisfying finish, but we’ll see if there are any surprises to be had on the night of.

[@jeng2336]

Snubs IMHO May/December. Moore and Portman nailed it. Enough said. Rosamund Pike in Salt missed? Also extremely disappointed that Leo did not get nomimated. Movie nomination/Best Director deserved, but my opinion is his acting was on par with Gladstone's. His "baseline" performances are usually so on point and to a high standard, I think we sometimes take them for granted and overlook his genius.

[@oscarman42]

While I am disappointed about Robbie and Gerwig, I had hoped to be surprised by hearing Dominic Sessa's name called for Supporting Actor.

[@mamadouaziza2536]

He was good in the movie, but this was his very first acting job ever. He's young, he has a career ahead of him. Sterling K. Brown is loved in the industry and deserves the nomination.

how do they nominate past lives in the best picture category but the director doesn’t get a nomination and none of the actors get a nomination either?!

[@bobnbutters]

I was incredibly happy to see that Coleman Domingo was nominated for Rustin. I watched it again today and cannot help but be moved and inspired. If not for Rustin, there would have been no historic March on Washington. He was the heart and soul of the civil rights movement. Our chorus sang a work about Bayard and he was such an unsung hero of civil rights and gay rights. People do not realize just how important this man’s contribution was to our country’s history. Coleman himself is an accomplished actor, writer and performer. He truly embodied the spirit of Bayard. His performance was jaw dropping, it was that good. It’s more than likely a long shot but I am rooting for Coleman.

Henry Sugar is fantastic! All 4 of the Wes Anderson shorts put on Netflix this year were outstanding

Also, I think you’re overdue to a video of Emily Blunt’s Elusive Oscar topic! I mean, FINALLY, after a decade (if we count from her debut film, My Summer of Love), and a lot of setbacks (I mean, she literally won SAG in A Quiet Place then snubbed at the Oscars), she finally made it. Her chances this year are slim, considering that her main competition is sweeping all the awards, but Emily can now finally say, Academy Award Nominee Emily Blunt. Plus she is Christopher Nolan’s first female acting nominee among his films.

I’m personally rooting for Danielle Brooks. She deserves the world. I want her to win sooooo bad.

[@laurajones1773]

Considering she’s the only nomination in her film, I highly doubt she’ll win. Heck, The Color Purple film from the 80s had 11 nominations and didn’t win a single Oscar. Whoopie Goldberg was the frontrunner to win for that movie, but lost to Geraldine Page for A Trip to Bountiful. Goldberg did win an Oscar for Ghost as a consolation prize for not winning for The Color Purple.

Really hope Godzilla Minus One wins the effects category. Could you imagine what that would actually do to Hollywood’s special effects teams? Maybe it will make them realize we want quality CGI and not just CGI!

I'll have to go back and check my records but I'm pretty sure I didn't see a single thing that was nominated this year. However, I do want to see that short animated film called Letters To a Pig. Because it's called Letters To a Pig. And that title is now my everything! 🤗

I want lily to have more roles so this doesn’t need to be her only real shot at an Oscar (it’s very lupita nyong'o to me, like I’m glad she won I just wish she would get more parts/chances like Emma stone etc)

Unfortunately, Bl@ck actresses usually don't have muscles at the box office domestically and internationally. Some exceptions such as the comedy 'Girl's Trip'. Their own community rarely supports them, just look at The Color Purple. Taraji P. Henson complaining that she doesn't get millions for her work? Well, its because her movies have all bombed in which she was the lead.. The Color Purple underperforming at the box office will further push Bl@ck actresses back.. We will see Da'Vine Joy Randolph being offered more roles but will she be offered leading roles in big budget movies?

​@mamadouaziza2536 why are you censoring Black? Weird

[@mamadouaziza2536]

@@MadameCorgi Because KZbin will censor and or block any comments that they think is offensive towards the Bl@ck race.. One can no longer have an opinion about this group of pe0ple.

To see Past Lives show up in both Best Picture and Original Screenplay, Greta Lee's snub in Best Actress makes no sense to me.If they weren't gonna nominate Margot Robbie, then they should've gone with Greta instead of picking Annette Bening

NIMONAAAAAA WE STAY WINNING. I hope it wins, it was an amazing movie

Bradley is now a 12 time Nominee

Very nice video. Loved his reactions

[@maxfieldfulton]

I should have known that Triet was going to edge out Gerwig. Recently the directors branch has been swapping out the biggest earner (Villeneuve, Kosinski) for an international film (Hamaguchi, Östlund). This year is a little different since another blockbuster (Nolan) and another foreign language film (Glazer) made it in, but those were always locks. Always. I think it came down to gender. Gerwig and Triet both did a fabulous job, but I think voters might have felt like voting for one female director was enough. Who knows?

Thank you for your reactions! I watched early this morning, but it was way more fun to revisit with you. I was chuckling at Napoleon nods right along with you. Sorry Greta didn't get in. But screenplay and Best Picture are awesome for Past Lives. Sad for lack of Andrew Scott (that would've been a lovely and well deserved surprise.) Also am sad Willem wasn't included. (I know there wasn't room...still sad.) Still need to see American Fiction and Zone of Interest (and all the docs and shorts) but feeling really informed about this year's nominations thanks to you! Can't wait to hear about what you are seeing at Sundance Brian!

[@andya8960]

Honestly great nominations 👏👏 I only wish All of Us Strangers & May December didn’t get so snubbed

[@matthewenies3668]

Absolutely sucks that All Of Us Strangers got completely ignored!
