That race is already over (Nolan), but yeah, this is surprising. For some reason, this seems to be the category that usually has the biggest snubs of the year. (Speilberg wasn't nominated for Jaws, Affleck wasn't nominated for Argo, etc.)Jim01 said:
Greta not getting a best director nomination is shocking. One of the biggest movies of the year, and I would say one of the toughest directing assignments. When Barbie was announced most people laughed and thought it would be a joke and she ended up making a fun, interesting, and poignant movie that made a TON of money.
I don't feel like Nolan should win. Barbie was so much better executed than Oppenheimer IMO.Brian Earl Spilner said:That race is already over (Nolan), but yeah, this is surprising.

This should never be an award consideration. Ever.Brian Earl Spilner said:
Can't disagree more. Nolan made a three hour, talky movie that feels like it flies by. Combination of great writing, editing, and of course directing.
Plus, he is long overdue.

But I felt the movie dragged quite a bit, maybe knowing the story already led to that some.
Greta Gerwig: Made a critically acclaimed, culturally profound, feminist movie about Barbie and the patriarchy that made a billion dollars at the box office.

Well, he does.
Kind of like a 12 team playoff in CFB...any given year, there are only 2-3 that really deserve it and have a chance.Sea Speed said:
10 nominees for best picture is ridiculous.
Actually we're laughing about Ken getting the nod while Barbie didn't. That's funny.The Porkchop Express said:
