My quick-fire reactions to the Oscar nominations:
- EEAAO deserves all the love and should easily take Best Picture if voters aren't afraid of selecting a "genre" film - All actors from Banshees of Inisherin deserve their nominations. Absolute masterclass in acting from a great writer/director - Haven't seen Elvis yet. Still, solely from clips of the film, word of mouth reviews, and the cinematic catalog of Baz Luhrmann, I would put at least 20 other films ahead of it for Best Picture - "Academy nominate one woman for Best Director challenge" failed yet again - Women Talking is a powerful film and I'm so excited for more people to have their world rocked when they find out what year it takes place in - Animated Movies? Perfection. - Cinematography was a joke this year. How Nope doesn't fit into that field is insane to me. Bardo does deserve the nomination though. But Nope should've been the clear winner. - Michael Giacchino deserved so much more for his Batman score. Justin Hurwitz should get his second win and if he doesn't I'll have to check the ears of every voting member. - Not enough people saw Marcel the Shell with Shoes On. Deserves more than animated feature. - Tom Cruise playing himself didn't deserve the nomination and I'm glad the Academy overlooked him. - Not enough people saw Decision to Leave or The Northman and I hope they get around to watching those one day. - Overall, a fairly good year of nominations. I will be watching.
