Jeffrey Wright is one of my favorite actors. He’s been putting in the work for years. I’m glad he’s getting more mainstream appreciation now. He’s come a long way since Basquiat.I hope American Fiction cleans up

I like Jeffrey Wright too (the black and bourgeoisie of the DMV) since I thought he was Cuban in Shaft.
The movie itself is one of the best movies to come out the last decade, imo.
Wright and Sterling K Brown dominated and Cord Jefferson will probably get the adapted screenplay Oscar.

I wasn’t a huge fan but that Barbie snub is ridiculous. 
CapitalOne
Do You Believe...
no best actress for margot robbie
no best director for greta gerwig
no best director for greta gerwig
Some great noms that are well deserved, but overall a bizarre list. RDJ, Gladstone, and Da’Vine feel like locks. Ferrera getting a nom over Julianne Moore’s performance in May December is kinda weird. Out of all the spots to show Barbie some love, it’s here? Interesting.
Pemberton’s Spider-Verse score getting no love.

I enjoyed Barbie. I thought it was a fun movie. and I’m happy for it's success and I even took some amusement that it pissed off a lot the conservative gang, but truthfully, I’ll never rewatch it ever again. It was a one and done movie for me.
Murphy probably win
And lily probably win
And lily probably win
Hollywood doing everything it can to prop up decent, but not amazing movies just because they have non-white actors in it.
That's what's happening with Past Lives. It's what happened with Everything Everywhere All At Once. And it's what happened with Parasite.
The only problem is that this year, there's actual strong contenders with big time directors, so if Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer weren't competing, they'd absolutely shove Past Lives down everyone's throat.
And I'm not saying that there's anything wrong in highlighting or giving credit to these other films. But when they clearly aren't in that top tier level, I have a problem with it.
Given these options, I'd vote Oppenheimer for Best Picture. I just ....I'm not sure Killers of the Flower Moon is great film making as much as I think it's an important story about people who've long been ignored and abused. And I think Scorcese is getting overrated here. Even the acting was meh. Lily Gladstone getting a Best Actress nomination may be deserved. But for the 3 hours she was mostly sad and sick. Even within the film there was no range to her character. Nothing dynamic.
As far as The Holdovers -- I liked this movie. But you cannot convince me this is any different than Win/Win (2011). It's more or less the same story but with a prep school kid. I liked that movie too. But if Paul Giamatti wasn't winning for that movie, I don't see what makes this one any different. Well, I will concede this movie is better acted. That's fair.

No Greta Lee either for Best Actress. Like what are we even doing here?no best actress for margot robbie
no best director for greta gerwig
The Iron Claw getting zero noms is disheartening but I think that ultimately falls on A24 dropping the ball with its release.
RDJ likely got the Best Supporting Actor Oscar on lock. The Native American woman could win Best Actress, but I'm going to go with Annette Benning.
I'm hoping Oppenheimer cleans up, including the Best Director for the gawd Nolan after that deliberate Dark Knight snub back in the day

robbie and grewig snubs are brutal
Robbie not getting selected doesn't move me but Gerwig getting snubbed is just plain wrong
