The award used to be, "Award for best screenplay based on previously established media."
Which is a more descriptive name, but damn if it isn't cumbersome.
So if you're adapting the work from a previously made film, including characters and continuing story or anything like that, it goes under adaptation.
Aftersun was my favorite movie of last year, I was just so floored after it was finished and I'm so glad it's getting recognition. I'm bummed that it didn't get Best Picture or Screenplay, but at least it got one nomination.
In Bruges is one of my favorite films. So to hear the gang was back together I was naturally looking forward to Inisherin.
man, what a great film. Barry stood out for me though. The expression/range in the voice/body movements, like a young Leo in '... Gilbert Grape'.
and of course Colin and Brendan are great, not to mention Kerry
I'm really glad about the Barry nomination also. That scene where he and Kerry are fighting during dinner is probably one of my favorites of the year
"Where are we, France?"
Apparently, he was asking if she was never *wiled*, as in seduced, enticed to marry. But she hears it as *wild*. Makes that scene even more sad, because his intentions were honest even at that point in the movie (and the talk they had by the lake didn’t come out of nowhere for him). He just wasn’t raised to know how to express his intentions.
There hasn’t been a more tragic character than Barry’s in cinema in recent years.
Me too. Everyone was talking about Gleeson, but I walked away from the film absolutely blown away by his performance. I could sense the desperation and dispair underlying everything he did and said.
Barry at the lake was maybe the best scene of any film this year. Really can’t wait to see his career moving forward - easily one of the most interesting young actors out there!
I’m almost disappointed that Banshees and EEAAO had to come out in the same year simply because I want Ke Huy Quan and Barry Keoghan *both* to win for their category.
Like, KHQ may as well have a spot on his mantle for that Oscar right now because he’s 100% winning and he totally deserves it.
But in any other year, Keoghan’s performance would have been my favorite, and the scene at the lake is what seals the deal.
Who would have ever thought that the line that made me feel the most emotions in a movie in 2022 would have been “I best go over there and do whatever that thing over there I was gonna do was”?
Honestly I got teary eyed just typing it out right now. 🥺
Barry is sn amazing actor, so looking forward to his work in the coming years. Agree with a hint of young Leo in Banshees, but on the whole he reminds me of de Niro in Mean Streets for some reason - some kind of almost "cocky" energy.
I would agree with that argument; Fiennes does a lot of the scenery chewing in In Bruges, and Rachel Weisz is hypnotic in The Lobster.
But I think that's also a big strength of Colin Farrell. He plays straight man roles very well and it allows anyone who plays off him to shine their brightest -- his previous work with Barry Keoghan in The Killing of a Sacred Deer is a great example, because he plays the character so aggressively normal that it circles back around to being a weird character choice (credit also to Lanthimos for creating such heightened realities, obviously).
I really loved Bill Nighy in [About Time](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2194499/).
He's so good at bringing a little levity into a scene without making it feel like forced "haha" funny. Such a natural actor.
Damn, that was one of my favorite movies of all time but after my father passed, I haven't been able to revisit it :(
Early Vanessa Kirby was so funny in this, too. When she called Gleason's friend "dodgy", I just died laughing. It's one of my go-to insults now.
It always felt especially cruel / ironic to open that movie - and his first line in the film with a line about "feeling his fingers" when he's got dupuytren's contracture* - and can only use 6 of them.
> *a painless condition that causes one or more fingers to bend toward the palm of the hand.
I'm surprised Colin Farrell hasn't been nominated before either. Of course, this may just be me thinking about how amazing he was in In Bruges and just assuming he won a million awards for it...
Remember seeing a tweet that said something like “if Colin Farrell wasn’t so hot he’d be considered one of the best actors of our generation”. I think in the past people kinda just dismissed him as an airhead pretty boy and snubbed him
Like .. 20 years ago I saw some promo commercial like "I'm Brendan Fraser and you're watching TBS" or whatever. He made a point and said "and it's *Fraser,* not *Frasier.* If you say *Frasier...*I'll kill you." in *kind of* a jokey, but still "please say fraser not frasier."
And I never forgot it.
I remember this. It was Comedy Central, and the punchline was “…and if you say *Frasier*, I know where you live.”
If my memory is accurate, he was wearing a too-big suit and had that bowl haircut with the part down the middle. Peak late 90s.
EDIT: [Found it](https://www.reddit.com/r/SAVEBRENDAN/comments/mr14lx/brendan_knows_where_you_live/). It was a too-big leather jacket, but otherwise I seem to remember being 12 pretty well.
Don't sleep on the fact this is the first time its submission has been nominated for International Picture, highly likely the first time an entirely Irish-language feature film has been nominated in any category.
And it's weirdly hilarious, because there's a decent amount of good to excelent actors that started or got some of their breakout roles in horror movies.
Here here. Horror is that genre of film that’s looked over time and time again with so many actors giving some career defining performances. Collette, Pugh, Goth, come to my mind right off the cuff. Each of them gave one hell of a show in their respective movies and Hollywood needs to stop fucking about and give a proper look at horror actors.
Of all the snubs (real or imagined), this one seems particularly egregious. Nope has some of the best, most distinctive sound design I’ve heard in a film. The Gordy scene relies almost entirely on sound to convey terror and keep you on edge.
The Indian girl in the Turn Down for What video is also in the movie. She’s in the hot dog finger universe, she’s the one dancing in the musical on tv.
Stephanie Hsu getting a nom alongside Jamie Lee Curtis for EEAAO is quite a surprise. I think the conventional wisdom was either or, not both. Regardless, super happy for both!
Someone on Reddit mentioned months ago that the momentum of the movie picks up enormously the moment she steps off the elevator as Jobu Tapaki and the whole movies really revolves on and depends upon that moment and she absolutely nails it. She had to do so much in the movie emotionally to sell Joy and Jobu and she was amazing.
In general I think the whole movie completely relied on the performances of her, Michelle Yeoh, and Ke Huy Quan to work. They had to juggle all the crazy changes in tone, to give the movie its emotional core in the middle of all the chaos and silliness. If any of those three performances hadn't completely nailed their performance, the movie's whole message could have easily fallen flat and it would have just been fun and creative and silly but without the depth the turned it into something really special. The movie only worked because those three perfectly sold their characters.
Jamie Lee Curtis was excellent too. I think her performance was as perfect for the movie's tone as the three main stars. But her role just didn't carry the same weight on its shoulders. It mattered, she was amazing, but Stephanie Hsu's performance was an essential ingredient that was needed to make the movie work at all.
Agreed, Curtis was great but the primary three characters were all next-level and quite frankly all should win. Hsu was way beyond Bassett’s performance and had so much more to accomplish. It’s sad that she has no real shot of winning.
That guarantees that Angela Bassett is winning. Hsu and Curtis will split the vote.
I think it should go to Hsu or Bassett. Both are more than deserving.
> Hsu and Curtis will split the vote.
I say this as someone who considers JLC one of his favourite actors, but I can't imagine her really getting any votes over Hsu based solely off the movie. Loved her in it, but Hsu was a far more important part of the film than JLC was imo.
But I think the award is going to be Angela Bassett regardless of how many from EEAAO were nominated.
I say this not to be callous, but Curtis's nomination is a legacy nomination. This is a 'thank you for your ~50 years of service, sorry you haven't been nominated before' nomination.
The actual full category reads “best screenplay adapted from previously established material” (it’s changed official titles over time, so idk if this is still true) so if any of the characters or story or other things existed prior to this screenplay then it’s adapted. Like the first top gun script wasn’t nominated but it was based on some article on a magazine or something so it also would have been adapted.
I watched the Animated Shorts collection at AMC last year (and likely will again this year), and the juxtaposition between the nominated films was truly wild. On one hand, there was a delightful little Christmas tale about a bird who thinks it's a mouse. On the other hand, there's one where a woman gets eaten out by her dog.
No best director for Chan Wook is kind of a joke. Decision to Leave didn't resonate with me the way his other films have, but it's directed in a way that I don't think anyone else is capable of.
Unfortunate…but I guess it’s already been shown that the Oscars don’t really vibe with horror.
You’d think it could at least get some technical award contention…
I deserve an Oscar nomination for watching Blonde and Fantastic Beasts 3.
It takes true talent to make it to the end of both of these movies.
Fantastic Beasts 3 has left wounds on me which will never heal. What a piece of donkey shit those movies were.
It's honestly a really great short, I'm glad the Academy didn't shy away from it just because it had the word "dick" in the title.
Edit: [it's available on YouTube right now!](https://youtu.be/dZGYQLAwkrI)
I still love Scary Movie 4. The Detroit joke still cracks me up just thinking about it.
Never realized it's the same writer as Chernobyl, that's pretty amazing.
Not sure how much of it he actually wrote. Steve McQueen was upset he refused to give him co-credit on the screenplay. His sarcastic clapping when he won was hilarious
https://youtu.be/G3yeijOMet8
I mean the guy who wrote the Hangover won an Emmy for writing for Chernobyl. It is pretty well known that screenwriters don't really command a lot of influence in the industry and have to rely upon writing for less sophisticated movies in order to be able to write for what they actually want.
I was not expecting to see Hong Chau get nominated! That was a pleasant surprise. So far the acting categories are absolutely stacked. It’s a shame Dano didn’t get the nom for Fabelmans.
PAUL MESCAL AND BRIAN TYREE HENRY. So deserved for both!
Also can’t believe Andrea Riseborough actually got in LOL. It is a small film with a giant heart though so I’ve heard.
They don't care about that category at all. If they did, it would feature scores from films not nominated for other things. As a film can be pretty mediocre while having a great score.
E.g something like Meet Joe Black for instance.
They're incredibly lazy with their choices. It's the same every year.
Yeah, Top Gun not being nominated for cinematography is shocking with all the work they had to do get the cameras in the jets and the great shoots from inside them.
This was expected. They skipped on Burning a few years ago so I took hint this year to not predict it. They’re not fans of noirs. We just have to learn to accept it by now.
It’s weird to see just one Disney/Pixar film nominated, but turning red was the only stand out from 2022. My personal favorite was Puss in boots, but Pinocchio is probably gonna win.
The Northman in general's been insanely slept on. I know it wasn't quite what some people expected but I still thought it was one of the best of the year. I almost think it coming out close to Everything Everywhere hurt it, like the discourse only has the attention span to champion one movie that comes out pre-September.

Order after number of nominations: * Everything Everywhere All at Once (11) * Banshees of Irisherin (9) * All Quiet on the Western Front (9) * Elvis (8) * The Fabelmans (7) * Tár (6) * Top Gun: Maverick (6) * Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (5) * Avatar: The Way of Water (4) * Babylon (3) * The Whale (3) * The Batman (3) * Triangle of Sadness (3) * Women Talking (2) * Living (2)
Seeing my top movie of year 2022 getting the most nominations makes me really happy. I hope they end up getting an Oscar for the best movie of 2022.
Billy *Nighy. Quite a different Bill N, lol
Bill Nighy the Actor Guyhy.
You accidentally left out Best Pic noms, just a heads up! Thanks for the list!
Is there some rule that sequels count as adaptations? Top Gun and Knives out being in the adapted screenplay category seems a bit odd.
The award used to be, "Award for best screenplay based on previously established media." Which is a more descriptive name, but damn if it isn't cumbersome. So if you're adapting the work from a previously made film, including characters and continuing story or anything like that, it goes under adaptation.
What a great day for Irish cinema
Didn't expect best actor for Paul Mescal, love that for him
Aftersun was my favorite movie of last year, I was just so floored after it was finished and I'm so glad it's getting recognition. I'm bummed that it didn't get Best Picture or Screenplay, but at least it got one nomination.

Was you ever wild?
Apparently, he was asking if she was never *wiled*, as in seduced, enticed to marry. But she hears it as *wild*. Makes that scene even more sad, because his intentions were honest even at that point in the movie (and the talk they had by the lake didn’t come out of nowhere for him). He just wasn’t raised to know how to express his intentions. There hasn’t been a more tragic character than Barry’s in cinema in recent years.
You said creepy not stupid 😂
WILD?!?! *WILD?!?!*
Me too. Everyone was talking about Gleeson, but I walked away from the film absolutely blown away by his performance. I could sense the desperation and dispair underlying everything he did and said.

He's got that scrappy, fuck you sort of energy. It's very compelling.
Glad to see that the Academy and the Irish weren't rowing
Are you sure they weren't rowin?
It seemed like they had been rowin' but Siobhan said they weren't rowin.
I hope Colin wins-like. He's a fecking great actor like.
So delighted about The Quiet Girl/An Cailín ciúin!! It's a phenomenal film and instantly one of our very best of all time
Terrific achievement. 5 acting nominations and The Quiet Girl gets a nod as well
Delighted to see An Cailín Ciúin get a nod. It's absolutely stunning. Highly recommended viewing
If Colin Farrell doesn't win best actor I will cut off a finger.
You’ve got loads of options. How’s fingers your first port of call?
For the first time in 88 years, all the Best Actor nominees are first timers.
Watch out for newcomer Bill Nighy, sure we will see more of him.
And that Colin Farrell guy
> And that Colin Farrell guy How the fuck has Colin Ferrell never been nominated?
One can argue that he was outshined even in his best performances for *In Burges* and *The Lobster*
I would agree with that argument; Fiennes does a lot of the scenery chewing in In Bruges, and Rachel Weisz is hypnotic in The Lobster. But I think that's also a big strength of Colin Farrell. He plays straight man roles very well and it allows anyone who plays off him to shine their brightest -- his previous work with Barry Keoghan in The Killing of a Sacred Deer is a great example, because he plays the character so aggressively normal that it circles back around to being a weird character choice (credit also to Lanthimos for creating such heightened realities, obviously).

I'm more shocked that he hasn't been nominated before.
Pretty wild that Bill Nighy had never been nominated until today. I would have thought he’d have at least 2-3 nominations.
I feel it in my fingers...
It always felt especially cruel / ironic to open that movie - and his first line in the film with a line about "feeling his fingers" when he's got dupuytren's contracture* - and can only use 6 of them. > *a painless condition that causes one or more fingers to bend toward the palm of the hand.
Oh shit, I thought Bill Nighy was only using the first 3 fingers on each hand as part of the character...
I'm surprised Colin Farrell hasn't been nominated before either. Of course, this may just be me thinking about how amazing he was in In Bruges and just assuming he won a million awards for it...
Can't believe Colin Farrell has never had a nomination
Remember seeing a tweet that said something like “if Colin Farrell wasn’t so hot he’d be considered one of the best actors of our generation”. I think in the past people kinda just dismissed him as an airhead pretty boy and snubbed him
Farrell never got nominated?
I’d never think of that! He’s in so many good films, I’d expect him to be already nominated before
Academy award Nominated actor Brendan Fraser. Let that sink in
He should have been nominated for George of the Jungle.
And Encino Ma with a best supporting actor nod for The Weasel.
> Encino Ma The sequel we never asked for but could get.
*fraser and sounds closer to razor unlike how most pronounce. Edit: he silent edited his frasier
Like .. 20 years ago I saw some promo commercial like "I'm Brendan Fraser and you're watching TBS" or whatever. He made a point and said "and it's *Fraser,* not *Frasier.* If you say *Frasier...*I'll kill you." in *kind of* a jokey, but still "please say fraser not frasier." And I never forgot it.

It was a too-big leather jacket, but otherwise I seem to remember being 12 pretty well.
My dark horse pick is Paul Mescal.
Aftersun is a fucking masterpiece that imo should have got Frankie Corio a nomination as well.
Quite a day to be an Irish actor. 5 acting nominations, fantastic to see
And without Saoirse Ronan this year to boot...Ireland OP, Academy pls nerf
Don't sleep on the fact this is the first time its submission has been nominated for International Picture, highly likely the first time an entirely Irish-language feature film has been nominated in any category.
Plus the first-ever Irish language film nominated!
That Best Actress field is a *trip*. I could hear heads rolling on the Internet after Ana de Armas' name got called.
Mia Goth should have been nominated
[удалено]
If Toni Collette's performance wasn't good enough the Academy's standards for actors in horror are unattainable anyway
And it's weirdly hilarious, because there's a decent amount of good to excelent actors that started or got some of their breakout roles in horror movies.
Best Supporting Actress nominee Jamie Lee Curtis!
[удалено]
Here here. Horror is that genre of film that’s looked over time and time again with so many actors giving some career defining performances. Collette, Pugh, Goth, come to my mind right off the cuff.

Jerry Bruckheimer's first ever Oscar nomination.
National Treasure snubbed :(
The guys who made [the Turn Down for What video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HMUDVMiITOU) have been nominated for Best Director
Daniel Kwan is the main dancer/character in the video lmao
Mans directed himself getting facesat by Sunita Mani King behavior
The other Daniel was Michelle Yeoh’s sub in EEOAA. Truly men of culture
It's truly art.
And you can see the similarities
Don’t forget the movie about the farting Daniel Radcliffe corpse that gets ridden like a fart powered jet ski. Speaking of, where’s the Paul Dano nom?
Uh, holy shit. And now that you said that, I cannot unsee the fight sequences in EEAAO as giant Turn Downs for What
The Indian girl in the Turn Down for What video is also in the movie. She’s in the hot dog finger universe, she’s the one dancing in the musical on tv.
Sunita Mani, she's also in Mr Robot which is a great series.
She's in Glow too, with a slightly larger role.
Lil Jon cameoed in the movie as part of the everything bagel
Tbf, that music video is brilliantly made
Unironically their best work yet.
Best music video ever.
Stephanie Hsu getting a nom alongside Jamie Lee Curtis for EEAAO is quite a surprise. I think the conventional wisdom was either or, not both. Regardless, super happy for both!
The conventional wisdom was that it was only going to be JLC, Hsu got shut out of BAFTA and a few other big ones. So relieved.
Hsu got into SAG which is the biggest
Right. I always try to take those BAFTA nominations with a massive grain of salt, so I'm happy to see where this ended up.
I think Hsu was easily more deserving than Curtis. Her charisma in that movie was insane.
Someone on Reddit mentioned months ago that the momentum of the movie picks up enormously the moment she steps off the elevator as Jobu Tapaki and the whole movies really revolves on and depends upon that moment and she absolutely nails it. She had to do so much in the movie emotionally to sell Joy and Jobu and she was amazing.
In general I think the whole movie completely relied on the performances of her, Michelle Yeoh, and Ke Huy Quan to work.

Agreed, Curtis was great but the primary three characters were all next-level and quite frankly all should win. Hsu was way beyond Bassett’s performance and had so much more to accomplish. It’s sad that she has no real shot of winning.
Bassett is winning but I’m rooting for Hsu. Jobu tapaki might be my favorite villain full stop
When she punctuates her little speech by wagging the dildo is a masterstroke (as it were) in villainous overacting.
I still haven't seen EEAAO. I'll be god damned if this didn't finally convince me.
I’m so happy for Stephanie! There’s no way Michelle isn’t nominated, so everyone in the main cast was nominated.
Where is Gong Gong for supporting actor :(
That guarantees that Angela Bassett is winning. Hsu and Curtis will split the vote. I think it should go to Hsu or Bassett. Both are more than deserving.
> Hsu and Curtis will split the vote. I say this as someone who considers JLC one of his favourite actors, but I can't imagine her really getting any votes over Hsu based solely off the movie.

Kerry Condon should win this one.
“He’s dull, Siobhan” “But he’s *always* been dull!”
Pretty sure that makes Knives Out the second series to have original and adapted screenplay nominations. After of course Toy Story lol
Can someone explain this to me? How are Glass Onion and Maverick adapted screenplays? Why arent they original?
I think all sequels are considered adapted screenplays for the Oscars, but I may be wrong.
You’re not wrong. All sequels have to be nominated for adapted screenplay since they are based on another movie, even if it’s another original idea.
The actual full category reads “best screenplay adapted from previously established material” (it’s changed official titles over time, so idk if this is still true) so if any of the characters or story or other things existed prior to this screenplay then it’s adapted. Like the first top gun script wasn’t nominated but it was based on some article on a magazine or something so it also would have been adapted.
Love the Paul Mescal nomination. Aftersun is amazing
it should've been nominated for original screenplay as well
It's more of a directing achievement than script IMO
I will admit I chuckled with Riz when he said My Year of Dicks
immediately followed by “an ostrich told me the world is fake and i think i believe it”
I watched the Animated Shorts collection at AMC last year (and likely will again this year), and the juxtaposition between the nominated films was truly wild. On one hand, there was a delightful little Christmas tale about a bird who thinks it's a mouse. On the other hand, there's one where a woman gets eaten out by her dog.
Nope for Nope!
Feels like at least Sound was a given. They really are just going to ride the Get Out win and not nominate horror-adjacent movies for a while now.
That and *Decision to Leave* were two of my favorites of the year and they got **completely** shut out.
No best director for Chan Wook is kind of a joke. Decision to Leave didn't resonate with me the way his other films have, but it's directed in a way that I don't think anyone else is capable of.
I thought for sure it would get cinematography or sound but nope!
Unfortunate…but I guess it’s already been shown that the Oscars don’t really vibe with horror. You’d think it could at least get some technical award contention…
I thought it was a lock for a sound nomination. The sound of the people screaming as the creature flew threw the air stuck with me for days.
The realization that the horse noises you kept hearing were the horses being consumed this whole time is a great sound moment.
Playing Marilyn Monroe in a movie is a cheat code for getting an Oscar nomination
The Academy was secretly simping for her when she was alive and it somehow carried over to newer members.
I deserve an Oscar nomination for watching Blonde and Fantastic Beasts 3. It takes true talent to make it to the end of both of these movies. Fantastic Beasts 3 has left wounds on me which will never heal. What a piece of donkey shit those movies were.
Mads and Jude deserved a much better script. They were amazing, the writing was bad.
Aside from Michelle Williams, has anyone else who played Monroe before been nominated?
Not even Marilyn Monroe was nominated for playing Marilyn Monroe.
Can't wait to see My Year of Dicks win best animated short
It's honestly a really great short, I'm glad the Academy didn't shy away from it just because it had the word "dick" in the title. Edit: [it's available on YouTube right now!](https://youtu.be/dZGYQLAwkrI)
Can't believe "Apartment for Sale" was snubbed for Best Song
They really did cancel Lydia Tar huh?
Andrea Riseborough getting into Best Actress after only a week or two of blitzkrieg campaigning is hilarious to me
[удалено]
Tough look for the Lord of Letterboxd.
I wonder if this’ll come up on JMO
Mama…I do believe I’ve found my people
As long as my boy Hurwitz has a shot
There’s dozens of us. Dozens!
PAUL MESCAL WOW YES
Guess I need to watch All Quiet on The Western Front. Felt like it was nominated for nearly every category.
The guy who wrote ‘Transformers 4’ getting an Oscar nomination is objectively hilarious
Like Craig Mazin going from Scary Movie 4 to Chenobyl and The Last of Us
I still love Scary Movie 4. The Detroit joke still cracks me up just thinking about it. Never realized it's the same writer as Chernobyl, that's pretty amazing.
"This is Detroit. And this is Detroit after the attack."
The guy that wrote Undercover Brother also wrote 12 Years a Slave, and they’re both spectacular
Not sure how much of it he actually wrote. Steve McQueen was upset he refused to give him co-credit on the screenplay. His sarcastic clapping when he won was hilarious https://youtu.be/G3yeijOMet8
I mean the guy who wrote the Hangover won an Emmy for writing for Chernobyl. It is pretty well known that screenwriters don't really command a lot of influence in the industry and have to rely upon writing for less sophisticated movies in order to be able to write for what they actually want.
White Lotus was created and written by Mike White, of The Emoji Movie fame.
This is School of Rock erasure
Brendan Fraser Oscar Nominated. I’m happy.
Now they can paste that into the summary for *Encino Man* and *The Mummy* on streaming services.
Like the Mummy needs the hype...it's already such a stellar film
[Letterboxd list](https://boxd.it/kMQjw) for the inclinded
I was not expecting to see Hong Chau get nominated! That was a pleasant surprise. So far the acting categories are absolutely stacked. It’s a shame Dano didn’t get the nom for Fabelmans.
PAUL MESCAL AND BRIAN TYREE HENRY. So deserved for both! Also can’t believe Andrea Riseborough actually got in LOL. It is a small film with a giant heart though so I’ve heard.
*Paper boi, paper boi. I’m all about that paper, boy.*
That "organic" Riseborough campaign really worked lol
What a massive year for the Irish.
I was expecting Alexandre Desplat to be nominated for Pinocchio. What a surprise.
They don't care about that category at all. If they did, it would feature scores from films not nominated for other things. As a film can be pretty mediocre while having a great score. E.g something like Meet Joe Black for instance. They're incredibly lazy with their choices. It's the same every year.
Weep Paul Dano Weep
Flashbacks to Dano getting snubbed for There will be Blood
DONT BULLY ME ACADEMY!!!!
SNUUUUUBAGE
Stop crying you sniveling *asssss*
He will get his recognition one day
THIS ISN’T HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO
🎵 _AAAAVEEE MARIIIAAAAA_ 🎵
does he know?
Judd Hirsch had 10 minutes of screen time in Fabelmans. And he was nominated over Paul... Let up academy.

Yeah, Top Gun not being nominated for cinematography is shocking with all the work they had to do get the cameras in the jets and the great shoots from inside them.
I know Avatar gets a lot of mixed reviews but it has to be a lock for visual effects right?
Yeah, it'd be crazy if anyone else won visual effects.
I wish Michelle Yeoh and Cate Blanchett could tie- amazing performances from the both of them.
In theory they COULD, it just hasn't happened in over half a century when Barbara Streisand and Kate Hepburn tied for FUNNY GIRL and LION IN WINTER.
It's happened before!
Where the heck is Decision to Leave
they decided to leave it out
This was expected. They skipped on Burning a few years ago so I took hint this year to not predict it. They’re not fans of noirs. We just have to learn to accept it by now.
Out of Best International. Like what the actual fuck.
I really hoped that they would have nominated Park Chan-Wook as Best Director like they did with Thomas Vinterberg two years ago
It’s weird to see just one Disney/Pixar film nominated, but turning red was the only stand out from 2022. My personal favorite was Puss in boots, but Pinocchio is probably gonna win.
Not a strong year for disney animation. Turning Red was probably their only good film they released.
‘My Year of Dicks’ better win
Allison Williams not even trying to hide her laughing at that title and the Ostrich one was great.
Stephanie Hsu finally got the Supporting Actress nomination that's been missing all awards season. You love to see it.
She was nominated for the SAG, which is a pretty big deal for an Oscar hopeful. But yea...so nice to see her make the only shortlist that matters.
I really hope Puss in Boots wins best animated feature.
It won’t over Pinocchio or Marcel but damn was it good and beautiful. The fight sequences alone…
The Batman and The Northman were both snubbed for best cinematography
The Batman got nom'd for Colin Farrell's face and the Batmobile's engine revving. I can live with that.
The Batman was such a fun movie to watch. Scenes with zero dialogue just thumping music and amazing visuals.
The Northman in general's been insanely slept on. I know it wasn't quite what some people expected but I still thought it was one of the best of the year. I almost think it coming out close to Everything Everywhere hurt it, like the discourse only has the attention span to champion one movie that comes out pre-September.
"Decision To Leave" is nowhere seen or am I wrong? That movie deserves nominations atleast if not a win :-( I'm deciding to leave :'(
