[Tino]

Oppenheimer 13 nominations
Poor Things 11 nominations
Barbie 8 nominations

No Great Gerwig or Margot Robbie fro Barbie

 

[Jake Lipson]

No Great Gerwig or Margot Robbie

I can't believe they did that. I would take out Justine Triet to put in Greta Gerwig and Sandra Hüller to put in Margot Robbie.

 

[Robert Crawford]

I can't believe they did that. I would take out Justine Triet to put in Greta Gerwig.

Did you see that French film?

 

[Jake Lipson]

Did you see that French film?

Yes I did. I actually started the thread for it. I thought it was good in a "fine" way but I was not a big fan of it.

 

[Tino]

I can't believe they did that. I would take out Justine Triet to put in Greta Gerwig.

I wasn’t a huge fan of Barbie. Thought it was ok. Margot Robbie’s omission is not a surprise as I thought she was miscast and just average in the role. But I am surprised at Greta’s omission.

 

[Mikael Soderholm]

Well, no matter who is nominated, we always feel someone is missing. Me, I miss Leo, I thought he was brilliant and worthy. And while Robert Downey was great, so was Matt Damon.

 

[Jake Lipson]

I'll move this discussion point over here from the pre-nominations thread now that this space is open.

no Anatomy of a Fall for International film? Must be a language requirement.

Anatomy of a Fall was never eligible for International Film. Each country is allowed to submit one film for consideration and France selected The Taste of Things as their entry in that category. The distributor of the film (in this case Neon) was allowed to submit it in other categories, but not for International Film because it was not France's choice. This ended up being a stupid decision on the part of the French nominating committee.

 

[Robert Crawford]

Exactly!

Thanks - I had missed that.

We have previously discussed how a film that is nom’d for Best Picture and is also nom’d in a subset category (eg. International, Animated) should be a guaranteed winner in the subset category (unless there are 2 or more films nom’d for both, but one should win the subset).

But because of how nominations work, it’s not always the case. And this is one example.

 

[Jake Lipson]

I saw American Fiction less than a week ago and can't remember a single thing about its score. I would have nominated Across the Spider-Verse in that category and would not have hesitated to take American Fiction out to do that. As is, Dial of Destiny would have my imaginary vote in the Score category out of those nominees if I had one.

France almost certainly would have had a nomination and possible win for Anatomy of a Fall if they had decided to enter it. As it is, this leaves The Zone of Interest as the almost default winner of the International Film category.

 

[Tino]

Updated with complete list of nominations.

I haven’t seen American Fiction, but I agree that Pemberton’s score for Spiderverse is fantastic and worthy of a nom.

The irony of France selecting The Taste Of Things, is that it didn’t get nom’d!

This calls into question the nominating process. I understand why the Academy asks each country to select one (and only one), but if the Oscars are meant to celebrate all films, shouldn’t they consider more international films?

 

[Thomas T]

Regarding France's failure to submit Anatomy Of A Fall as their entry for best foreign or international film. It was political. Director Justine Triet has made several anti-Emmanuel Marcon statements during the year which hasn't endeared her to the French government.

 

[Thomas T]

Quite surprised but absolutely over the moon over best picture, director and screenplay nominations for The Zone Of Interest. I thought it was too esoteric for the Academy.

 

[Malcolm R]

So apparently Barbie is really all about Ken, with noms for supporting actor and best song.

I guess if they want to award something to Gerwig it'll have to be for screenplay as I don't see it winning Best Pic over Oppenheimer.

 

[Alex...]

Godzilla Minus One not nominated for best picture... Cowards!!

 

[Tino]

Godzilla Minus One not nominated for best picture... Cowards!!

I don’t think that was ever a possibility. I’m just happy it got nominated for Best Visual effects…the First for a Tojo Godzilla film.

 

[Malcolm R]

I don’t think that was ever a possibility. I’m just happy it got nominated for Best Visual effects…the First for a Tojo Godzilla film.

And again, that's for a film with a reported production budget of only $10-15 million. Up against all those other films with massive budgets (I think only The Creator is under $200 million, with a reported budget of $80 million).

 

[jayembee]

Well, no matter who is nominated, we always feel someone is missing.

Which often makes Oscar arguments frustrating (and sometimes tedious).
