I think the Greta snub in best director is probably the biggest woah. At least America Ferrera got in for supporting actress.

Greta Gerwig getting the shaft sucks.

But I hope we get Ryan Gosling doing "I'm Just Ken" live at the ceremony.

I feel like best actor and best actress are two-horse races - Murphy (the favorite)/Giamatti (the upset special) in the former and Gladstone/Stone in the latter.

I hope this means “Past Lives” will come back to theaters - I was hoping I could see it with my friend’s screeners but she didn’t get that one

Only one female allowed for director. Thems the rules. Had been reading some stuff last night saying to not be shocked if a certain female got left out of a major category. Seems that shouldve been plural.

Yeah, only once per century. And lets remember how the academy moved Barbie out of original screenplay into adapted just for shits and giggles.

IMO, Barbie should have been an original screenplay. It would have bumped one of those other lesser known movies out and also probably freed up an adapted screenplay for KOTFM.

Also, it’s a bit mind blowing that this is only Paul Giamatti’s 2nd oscar nomination, and first for best actor. His only other nom was in a supporting role in Cinderella Man. Not exactly the first role that comes to mind in his filmography.

No documentary nomination for American Symphony, Jon Batiste is a hack fraud!

Sad that Hisaishi was snubbed once again.

Loling at how dumb the French look for trying to snuff Anatomy of a Fall’s chances with their international pick.

Been having a laugh at the meltdown over Margot and Greta. I would have included them in the top 5 of their respective categories, but at the end of the day the competition this year meant that there would be brutal snubs.

Who would you take out of Best Director to fit Greta in? I think I’d do the unthinkable and snub Marty. Him or Lanthimos.

Gerwig getting snubbed for director really sucks, moreso than Margot Robbie in my opinion.

The Director’s branch is very international heavy so I’m not shocked but it just feels wrong.

Also really wish Asteroid City could have stolen a screenplay nomination. That really is the forgotten movie of the year but definitely in my top 5.

Overall though, a solid 10 in best picture. Which is always nice to see.

The Anatomy of a Fall surge is pretty interesting and I'm definitely a fan. Don't think it has best picture momentum but still cool to see.

i also haven't seen Zone of Interest, but i'm for some reason supremely confident it's going to be incredible. awful to watch and not entertaining at all but incredible.

also haven't seen maestro but i think Mulligan should get nominated for everything she's in by default.

Mulligan was by far the best part of Maestro and honestly should be just as much in the conversation as Stone or Gladstone.
