Nothing changes about the Entertainment Board.

We hate F16 and wish they'd stay off our board.

Also, we constantly post antagonistic bullsh** to get them to come to this board.

Y'all know I'm right

They expanded it to ten in 2009. At some point I think they changed it to a maximum of ten.
Ahh, makes sense. That's probably about the point I stopped watching the show. I really on my wife and daughter now for all Oscar info.

John Williams and Martin Scorsese both broke records today as the oldest nominees for Composer and Director.
A little trivia:

John Williams has 54 nominations but only 5 wins -- can you name which movies he won for?

I dont what to happen, but if RDJ loses best supporting to Ryan Gosling as Ken, that'd be pretty funny.
RDJ should have at least been nominated for the first Iron Man, and Chris Evans for Winter Soldier. But they were just 'comic book' action films. Yet now a performance in a movie about Barbie is worthy of being nominated. Nothing against, Gosling, he's very talented - I just hope RDJ gets his due.

The supporting categories are both complete locks for RDJ and Holdovers actress.

Leading are both two horse races.

He's a talented ACTOR. He was a total liability at cornerback.

That's the role I'll always remember him for. Especially the scene where he's playing the country song for Blue.

Yeah I saw The Holdovers just after the new year. She absolutely deserves it, great performance.

Ruffalo in "Poor Things" had a lot of praise upon its release. I could see him getting a dark horse win, and it would be deserved.

Is this confirming that F16 has no free will? Cuz that would explain a LOT

Robert Pattinson's simple act of gifting a book has now indirectly led to 13 Oscar nominations for the movie inspired by said gift...

Female empowerment movies are in fact important in many ways (and this film will open doors for future films likely which is a good thing), but at some point the Paul Fieg style of empowering women by making men bad or weak turns off a segment of the population, and probably alienated some male academy voters who kept Gerwig and Robbie out. There wasn't a single good male figure in the movie, they were all bad or ineffectual.
They could make the final ten for best picture with the votes they had, but not the lower cutoffs in the individual categories.
The male films took decades to evolve to the point where women had meaningful and complex roles, that's the next step for films like this.
Jmo.

As opposed to the many complex, three dimensional female characters in Oppenheimer, none of whom speak until 30 minutes into the film and then immediately take their tops off. Weird how that didn't alienate Academy voters.

I haven't seen Oppenheimer yet so I can't speak to it. Will see it soon though.

Would be awesome to see them win. They did the most with the least. Amazing how much better that movie looked than movies that cost 10x more. (Ie The Flash)

I haven't gotten around to watching it yet, but would you say the other Best Actress and Best Director nominations were worthy of keeping Margot and Greta out?

all politics aside, just based on the quality of the job they all did.

Anatomy of a Fall is fantastic, and definitely deserves both of those spots over Greta and Margot, imo. The lead actress was amazing.

Slumdog over Dark Knight and Hurt Locker over Avatar/Inglourious Basterds are both complete travesties.
Inglorious Basterds and Dark Knight, you have an argument, but Avatar is far from a travesty, and honesty debatable that it even should have been nominated. Dark Knight was a blockbuster that was smart and really redefined what a movie like that could be. Avatar rode in on its graphical beauty and the name of its director.

Avatar was revolutionary and was probably the runner up that year.

Conversely, to say it shouldn't have been nominated should be equally ridiculed.

Like I said, it looked pretty, and it's one of three movies (including the sequel) that I feel has ever made 3D worth the experience. I like the movie for what it is, but any movie with writing that bad is not best picture material.
