Everything Everywhere All At Once leads the 2023 Academy Award nominations
Everything Everywhere All At Once leads the nominations for the 2023 Oscars, airing March 12 on ABC
Aux News Academy Award
Happy Oscar nomination day, everyone! Oh, to think of all the good little actors and filmmakers waking at the crack of a California dawn to discover they’re a newly-minted Academy Award nominee. The nominations for the 95th annual Oscars—which air March 12 on ABC—were announced on Tuesday by Riz Ahmed and Allison Williams. Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Banshees Of Inisherin, and All Quiet On The Western Front were among the year’s favorite films to receive recognition from the industry.
Everything Everywhere led the list of nominees with 11 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. It was followed at nine nominations each by Banshees and All Quiet On The Western Front. The latter had something of a surprising turnout: the Netflix movie leads the BAFTA nominations, yet only had one nomination at the Golden Globes (and lost to Argentina, 1985 in the foreign language category). Elvis took eight nominations, while The Fablemans got seven and Top Gun: Maverick got six.
Among the notable acting nominees, Angela Bassett is the first actor to be nominated for a Marvel Studios film for her performance as Queen Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. (Bassett has already received a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award for the role.) She faces competition from Hong Chau (The Whale), Kerry Condon (The Banshees Of Inisherin), Jamie Lee Curtis (Everything Everywhere), Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere) in the Supporting Actress category.
Elsewhere, 16 of the 20 acting nominees are first timers, including the entire Best Actor category (Austin Butler for Elvis, Colin Farrell for Banshees, Brendan Fraser for The Whale, Bill Nighy for Living, and a surprise nod for Paul Mescal in Aftersun). Additional first-timers include Chau, Condon, Curtis, Hsu, Barry Keoghan, Brian Tyree Henry, Ke Huy Quan, Michelle Yeoh, and Ana de Armas. Another first-timer: Andrea Riseborough, nominated after a self-propelled campaign for her film To Leslie. No Black women were nominated for Best Actress, despite predictions that Viola Davis (The Woman King) and/or Danielle Deadwyler (Till) would nab a nod.
In the words of Natalie Portman, “Here are the all-male nominees for Best Director”: Martin McDonagh (Banshees), Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (Everything Everywhere), Steven Spielberg (The Fablemans), Todd Field (TÁR), and Ruben Ostlund (Triangle Of Sadness). Sarah Polley might have been the strongest female contender of the year; Women Talking was recognized not only for Best Adapted Screenplay but also Best Picture. James Cameron was also shut out of the directing category, despite Avatar: The Way Of Water’s current dominance at the box office. (The film is, of course, nominated for Best Picture.)
The 2023 Academy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel in his third go at the role, air on March 12. Check out the full list of nominees here.

Blanchett vs Yeoh is the heavyweight bout.Glad to see Stephanie Hsu got nominated.
Just listened to Stephanie on Bowen Yang/Matt Rogers podcast and wow does that woman come off as equally kind and so certain of who she is, a lot of wisdom in that youngster.
I’m thinking makeup/hair for The Batman and/or The Whale is a pretty tough call.
I feel bad for Michelle Williams (and she was GREAT in The Fablemans) but this is Yeoh’s year.
the emperor is gonna whoop blanchetts ass
I think Hsu was a longshot to win already, but now a little worried that Jamie Lee also being nominated will split the Everything Everywhere vote. Not that Jamie Lee wasn’t great in it too.
Joy/Jobu might be my all-time favorite antagonist.
I’m a little surprised “Naatu Naatu” actually got nominated for Best Song. Can’t wait to see how the live presentation f**ks it up.
That made me SO happy. RRR should’ve been up for Best Picture but that was a pipe dream.
Hsu probably deserves the award for Supporting Actress, but Curtis is likely to win of the two because of lifetime achievement award.
Nah, they’re pre-engraving the statue with Angela Bassett’s name already
Which is a fucking shame. My unpopular opinion is that while Basset is a wonderful actress, if she wins for Black Panther, it will be because the award is being treated as a lifetime achievement rather than because the performance in that particular movie is the most outstanding in the category. Personally, I would give the award to Hong Chau for The Whale. She was AMAZING! Curtis and Hsu would be excellent choices as well. I just do not get the love for Black Panther 2 at all. It was a very average Marvel movie to me. I even dosed off at one point in the theater I was so bored.
I feel like if only Curtis or Hsu had been nominated, one of them woulda had a chance. Two from the same movie always seems like votes will get split. It’s Bassett’s to lose anyway.
I’ll be honest: I want Top Gun: Maverick to win Best Pic. Its plot-point-for-point script that absolutely mirrors Star Wars: A New Hope is nothing to write home about. But to actually extend what a movie can be by placing cameras and actors in fighter jet cockpits—and subject them to fighter pilot G-forces—that leap in movie technology deserves recognition for a job extremely well done. IE: this Star Wars rerun deserves the statue.
EEAAO absolutely should lead the nominations, they actually made a film people want to watch.
should almost never translates into did, I think those fuddy duddies deserve a lot of credit for actually nominating it…I just hope they don’t give best picture to Maverick and Green Book tf out of this opportunity to recognize the actual best picture (although I though fabelmans was v good and wouldn’t cry if it wins)
Ever since the expansion to 10 nominees (possible) there’s often been one or two box office leaders in the nominations, but I don’t think any of them ever won. I’m pretty sure that’s what Top Gun and Avatar are doing here. It’s the Academy’s way of saying “Hey, thanks for making money, here’s a nomination—now leave us alone and get back to making things people will pay money to see, while we give Best Picture to one of these little films that were actually good.”
It kinda seems like, with the 10 nominations, they’ve swung from giving the best comedy of the year (which never got nominations) a little nod, to giving the most popular movie of the year a token nomination. I’m actually fine with that. They’ll never win anyway, and they probably just want more people to watch the broadcast.
Fucking CODA won Best Picture last year! That was the “popular peoples choice” movie of last year and it is barely memorable. I would argue that Top Gun: Maverick, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Avatar: Way of the Water, are all far superior films with rewatch potential for years to come. Who is going to be watching CODA in 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 years time?
Was Coda actually a popular movie that a lot of people watched? I honestly don’t know a single person who saw it, and I had to look up what the actual best picture was last year before I remembered. If anything was the “popular” choice last year, I’d say it was Dune. It had a lot of anticipation, a lot of people saw it i think, but it was just… OK.
I loved Dune and had no issue with that nomination. It is a very well made film with excellent direction, it is visually stunning, has a coherent script (despite the challenges of the material), and great acting. I do know people who saw CODA and it was my impression it was the a mainstream feel good type of story nomination. I saw it. It was fine but by no means should it have been in the Best Picture conversation, let alone the winner.
Oh cool I’m not the only one who didn’t adore Dune. I had a hilarious experience watching it because my theatre is surrounded by three highschools so I can’t see certain films on opening night because the lobby will be just FLOODED with high schoolers. So what happened I think is that because Timothee Chalamet was the lead actor it drew in a tonne of teeny boppers on opening night but they were all expecting a film that looked like Dune to be quippier like MCU films or a Star Wars (plus you had Momoa, Oscar Isaac, etc. all these big franchise actors). So I went on opening night it was flooded with kids and then halfway threw Dune I looked around in the theatre and everyone was asleep.
A theatre full of asleep high-schoolers is how I think of the Dune film.
Was it the popular peoples choice? I’d never heard of it before the Oscars. My Mom has worn hearing aids her whole life and really wants to watch it with the family. But like as I say that we still haven’t done it over a year later. I wouldn’t call that the popular choice. Wasn’t it mostly subtitled? That exhausts people.
I’m almost pretty sure it’s on Apple + or somewhere where I dont understand how to view it.
I think that was 100% the argument for expanding the field to 10 movies–squeeze in a few popular films so more people would watch the ceremony (and hopefully be exposed to the smaller, better films on the list).
imagine one day if one actually does win lol
At least if they gave the best pic to Top Gun Maverick, it’d be a Best Picture winner that people would actually ever want to watch again, which hasn’t happened in like 15 years.
Of course, EEAAO would also be a rewatchable winner and is far superior…
Yeah this is a notable year for me being passionate about wanting a film to win Best Picture. EEAAO was the best film of the year whether they award it or not. It’s the film everyone I know saw and all universally loved. It became something people needed to schedule and see just because. That literally embodies the BP title. I’ve never heard of something not loving it or even thinking it was “just okay”. Universal praise.
Democrats need to take notes on Andrea Riseborough’s campaign strategy!
She has been so good for such a long time.She has an effective team!
get biden repped by CAA?
I just hope she’ll find new fans and they will discover her work in Zero Zero Zero, which was fucking amazing.
Just now learning Netflix made All Quiet on the Western Front.
You honestly didn’t miss much, stick with the 1930 version.
Does Tom Cruise have some heavy blackmail fodder on the Academy/AV Club writers? I do not understand all this love for Top Gun.
It kicked ass & made people feel feelings. Not every Best Picture nominee needs to be about Filipino rice farmers contemplating death.
Tom Cruise as a Filipino rice farmer contemplating death? It’s either box office suicide or box office gold but I’d hat to wager on which.
It would be the most psychotically committed portrayal of a rice farmer contemplating death you’ve ever seen, that’s for sure.
I dunno, it’s what The People wanted in 2022? A big, loud, flashy ride. I dragged my partner because THIS HAS BEEN GETTING RAVES and we both left the theatre scratching our heads. The fact that its defenders are basically giving it the Marvel treatment of- not all movies need to be (thoughtful, well-plotted, good)! is telling. But also shrug emoji, let people enjoy their dumb sh*t.
For me, my expectations were so low, and then I saw it and… it was pretty good! Maybe it’s the wide gulf between people’s expectations of a sequel to an 80s popcorn flick and the actual OK-ness of it that has people so impressed. At no point while watching it did I think “Hey, this might get a best picture nom,” and it probably shouldn’t have, but with 10 slots to fill… meh. There’s almost never a year where 10 movies could legitimately be considered “best picture.” I can see some people wanting to give the nominations to shine a light on some smaller underappreciated films, but it doesn’t even sound anything really got edged out.
Agree on all counts (though I’d happily choose some smaller films to celebrate). We definitely succumbed to a form of “wow, this is a phenomenon, let’s check it out lest be we left behinnnd!” And sure, it’s a flashy two hours. I’d have thrown some love to Decision to Leave, Pearl, The Eternal Daughter, Nope, Resurrection … even if I don’t think they’re unqualified masterpieces (Tilda Swinton playing restrained mother-daughter roles is probably an acquired taste). But it’s hard to argue against tossing a nom to a big, made-people-happy, made-a-ton-of-money, saved-movie-theaters blockbuster.
The first Top Gun is definitely a not so great movie that people nevertheless remember very fondly, and the sequel is legitimately much better. The effect of that is probably that viewers give it an extra star or two in their heads, failing to account for inflation. I agree that while watching it I didn’t get any Best Picture vibes off of it, but seeing it steal A good bit of Box Office away from Disney convinced me it was more than likely it would happen. I do think some very good films got edged out, but Bullet Train and Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris both made my top ten list this year, so I’m not out in the street rioting or anything. The two best movies of the year got nominated, which makes it a legitimate competition. Go ahead and put Morbius on the list for all the difference it ends up making to the eventual winner.
Top Fucking Gun?!?! Jesus fucking Christ…What’s the fucking point.
It’s a fucking good movie.Why the hell would you not think so?People went in bloody huge droves to see it.Why the arse are we swearing between every statement?
Didn’t you hear? The Academy Award for Best Picture should be for prestigious fare, not some run of the mill popcorn schlock like Top Fucking Gun Fucking Maverick!/s
This is exactly why they widened the Best Picture nominations a few years back. So they could nominate popular popcorn flicks but never actually have them win. Where were you when Black Panther got nominated?
See when you look at the Best Picture list you just sorta need to pretend Top Gun and Avatar aren’t really on there. Because really, Avatar and Top Gun aren’t real competitors. They’re there to 1). increase viewership and 2). shut people up.
I was being sarcastic. Hence, the “/s” at the end of my statement.I’m well aware why the Academy expanded to ten movies; I’m also well aware they sometimes still didn’t nominate “popcorn movies” for Best Picture, even with those extra slots.Where was I when Black Panther was nominated? I was still fairly happy, although I 1). didn’t expect it to win, and 2). I didn’t watch the awards show anyway.
I saw it; it was trash. The people who went to see it are all fucking stupid.
But didn’t you go see it?
No, I sat on my couch and watched it, just to see what all the fuss was about. I’m not paying money for that shit.
Oh get you. You don’t like mainstream stuff and you pirate things. You’re sooooo cool and edgy.
I’mpulling you out of the grays JUST to tell you that (a) you’re wrong, and (b) go fuck yourself. It was on streaming. Jesus fucking Christ. IT WAS A BAD MOVIE.
I love when people present their personal opinions as objective facts, and then follow that up with condescending patronization. It’s like a one-two punch of douche-baggery.
You’re wrong. Idiot.
I have most certainly changed my pinion of the movie and it’s nomination because of your insightful comments.Thank you for that. Please keep going with your rapier wit and piercing insults.
At this point I’m just happy for people. The amount of quality movies or even ones that are just okay that gets labeled as terrible or trash is astonishing. But, it also means they never truly watch bad or terrible movies. Because, if Maverick is terrible for you, you lived a blessed life as a movie watcher.
No. Everybody else’s standards have just gotten too low.
It was entertaining, but I guess I expect some more depth from a Best Picture nominee, which I thought Maverick was lacking (at least on a single viewing). I would rank it below Pinocchio (del Toro’s), Nope, After Yang, Decision To Leave, Marcel The Shell With Shoes On, and Turning Red. So, Maverick’s a fun movie, but it feels like it should have been more than ‘fun’ to garner a nomination above these others.
Right? I mean, it didn’t make my personal list of best movies of the year, but I certainly enjoyed watching it—even if I rolled my eyes a few times (it was quite the lucky coincidence they had those planes that he just happened to be great at flying sitting around with the keys in them in the very un-defended base, for instance. It hurt my brain a little just to type that). There were far, FAR worse movies released this year. Amsterdam should top every critics ‘worst of’ list.
If it was “just a bad movie” you wouldn’t be so up in arms about it. You loved it, didn’t you? Admit it.
I bet you haven’t made a friend in a loooooooong time.
I saw itUh huhThe people who went to see it are all fucking stupid.Oh!
You’re bad at reading. Go away.
You’re just a tick below average as a troll.
No.I didn’t like either Top Gun movie. That’s hardly a crime. As a matter of fact, the opposite probably should be. Or at least grounds for forced sterilization…
I didn’t accuse you of committing a crime, idiot. You are bad at reading.
You’re bad at admitting you loved Academy Award Best Picture nominee Top Gun: Maverick
Judging peoples intelligence based on the TV and films they consume is pretty fucking stupid if you ask me. People use these forms of entertainment in different ways like as white noise doing the laundry, the same can be said about differing moods like after a stressful day maybe it’s more relaxing to throw on an MCU film that doesnt require me to think too hard as oppose to, say, Babylon.
Top Gun was like the most movie movie ever and if that made people feel good so be it. My Mom watches a lot of Hallmark Christmas films. Does that make her stupid? No. She enjoys happy endings on screen. She actually doesn’t enjoy films that depict bad natured people but I wouldn’t say that makes her stupid.
tbh you sound pretty fucking stupid.
Your mom sounds pretty stupid, honestly. Which makes sense. Apples, trees, and whatnot. Now fuck off.
HighLikeAnEagle and cosmicghostrider’s mom shared a more tender and emotionally charged relationship than Val Kilmer and Tom Cruise did in Academy Award Best Picture nominee Top Gun: Maverick.
A buddy at work saw Top Gun and he told me it was the first film he saw in a theatre since COVID and that in his opinion it was a very smart decision to make for him. After months and months of F9 wanting to be the film that invited everyone back to the theatres, then we had a little stint where Tenet wanted to be the film to invite everyone back to theatres but truthfully the film that culturally invited the most people back to theatres was Top Gun: Maverick. Sue me.
Lmao sorry to have triggered you, I hope therapy goes well later.
Annoyed. You’ve annoyed me. Very different.
Annoyed people don’t react that way petal
To quote Dick Tuck’s 1966 concession speech:“The people have spoken, the bastards.”
Why do people like it so much? Honest question. I just don’t get it. The dialogue was painfully on the nose. It was like an AI scriptwriting program was fed a “write a Top Gun sequel” prompt. The characters were one dimensional, a lot of the direction was clunky. The cinematography wasn’t really especially great. The only thing that wasn’t mediocre about it was the flying scenes which were fun and all but is a glorified flight simulator Best Picture worthy?
I don’t know if it’s best picture worthy, but it was a damn good time at the movies. Well-executed, big-budget popcorn-fare is a treat, and occasionally it hits just the right note at just the right time. It won’t win, but it deserves some recognition for just being a lot of fun, with extra points added for how they filmed the flight sequences.
Hey, I love a good spectacle as much as the next person. I’m not looking down my nose at a good blockbuster. I’m still out here defending Marvel shit. I don’t know…maybe I would feel differently about TGM if I watched in the theater when it came out and not on an average sized TV off Paramount+ a couple weeks ago but it just didn’t strike me was “well-executed” even for what it was. But like my Mom always used to say, “who really cares? None of this matters.” She was deeply depressed!
It was so aggressively average. Yeah, the real flying scenes were cool, toss ‘em a tech award, but best overall picture? C’mon.
You’re conflating Oscar worthy with “good cinema”, that’s not been the case for a very long time.
It is a terrible movie. It is powdered nostalgia straight up the nose is all, no real story, no real character arcs or development. A movie with next to o plot. Movie was bad, that does not mean that it could not be enjoyed, but as a movie, on the basis of the art and craft, it was fucking terrible
Good to see Andrea Riseborough nominated, though. BUT SERIOUSLY, the sequel to Top Gun, easily one of the worst movies of the 80s, which places it high in the running for worst all time, was nominated for a fucking ACADEMY AWARD.
It was good.Just cuz people UNDERSTOOD IT, and PAID TO SEE IT, doesn’t automatically mean it’s not worthy of an award.
It was really good – better as a film than the original. I don’t know that I’d argue it was worthy of a Best Picture nomination, but 🤷♀️. I guess take some solace in the fact that it almost certainly won’t win.
Best Picture is the film that captures and unifies the larger audience. Top Gun was like, the feel good movie of the year. I think EEAAO did a better job of doing that and deserves to win here but I’d say Top Gun did a better job of that than Avatar or Tar.
People wanting Tom Cruise for Best Actor was stupid but BP isn’t wild.
Honestly I know people are going to quibble but this is a pretty killer list of nominees! Glad to see Top GUN & Black Panther get sole love, as well as deserving indies like Banshees & Everything Everywhere (my favorite movie of last year so far).
Everything Everywhere led the list of nominees with 11 nominationsI counted 10, as did Wikipedia.Oh, right two Best Supporting Actress nominations. I will own up to putting my foot in my mouth straight away!
wow, I am really glad Women Talking was nominated for Best Picture after being inexplicably universally ignored this season but what the actual fuck. Unless they held it against her the bad decision to make the film so dark it could barely be seen lol everything else in it was direction…I suppose they are like “you adapted it so well and cast it so well that you didn’t have to direct it” but I would beg to differ. I also look forward to the inevitable broadway adaptation Women Singing!…what rhymes with Mennonite? “We women Mennonites/Can’t grab a pen and fight/’Cause we can’t wriiiiite!” “We challenge the malarkey/Of the patriarchyyyyyy” etcIT’S FABELMANS. I am shocked and happy to see Everything get so many nominations, I really would not have thought it possible, and while I thought Blanchett was fantastic, I can’t imagine a better performance than Yeoh…she did freaking everything. Stephanie Hsu is a great surprise in supporting, but I suppose that has been a category that has been welcoming to newcomers.My predictions (for winning, not my favorites) are Fablemans for best picture, I am split between Spielberg and McDonough for best director which gives the edge to Spielberg, I don’t mind Austin Butler winning for Elvis. Judd Hirsch has an edge for Fablemans (they like younger supporting women and older supporting men ahemmichaelcainebeatingtomcruise) but his part while amazing is maybe too short so I’d guess Gleeson. Angela Bassett no contest. What the fuck are Top Gun and Glass Onion adapted from? and damn, Babylon got HOSED not that I expected different
“What the fuck are Top Gun and Glass Onion adapted from?”It’s my understanding that if the characters were used before, it’s considered an adapted screenplay. I could be talking out of my ass, though; wouldn’t be the first time and won’t be the last.
so NORBIT 2 would be an ADAPTATION? That might be the stupidest thing I have ever heard so I don’t doubt it is the case.
They should just have a separate sequel/remake category, given that seems to be most of Hollywood’s output lately.
You’ve got it in one. Adapted screenplay is anything drawing from established IP. In this case, Glass Onion is considered an adaptation of the Benoit Blanc character from Knives Out.
You are correct. Toy Story 3 pulled this trick. Do I like it? Absolutely not.
I hope The Fabelmens doesn’t win, though I think it does have a decent chance. Spielberg is a great director, we all already know that, give him a lifetime achievement award or something and give the real award to someone who doesn’t have more Oscars than rooms in their house. I’d rather see Elvis win.
He has directed OVER 20 MOVIES since Saving Private Ryan, isn’t that nuts? But he’s only won best picture once (schindler) and best director twice (Shaving Ryan’s Privates and Schindler). I would far prefer it to win over Elvis, because Tom Hanks is so terrible in Elvis that it makes half the film unwatchable…and I like Tom Hanks!
I’m predicting the winners…
BEST PICTURE“Everything Everywhere All at Once”
ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLEAngela Bassett, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”
ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLEKe Huy Quan, “Everything Everywhere All at Once”

Best score I’m not sure. It could be anyone.
“In the words of Natalie Portman, “Here are the all-male nominees for Best Director”:”^Owns her own production company, only female directors she has hired have been…herself.Shit makes me laugh. Plus the fact she signed a petition in favor of Roman “I fucked a 13 yr old in the ass” Polanski. You do you Natalie, slay queen motherfucking slay!
Polley was a snub…
She JUST formed that production company in 2021 and one of the first things on their docket is an Apple TV series helmed by a woman. STFU.
Funny how you didnt address her Roman Polanski support.
And Handsomecharlie Films has been around since before 2021 kid. Google it, then slap the shit out of yourself because unfortunately I’m not there to do it.
Yep. It’s hilarious.Handsomecharlie Films has made a grand total of 6 features, most of which were developed prior to Portman’s involvement. Distribution is not the same as production.Fuck off, kid.
Nice spin kiddo. I love it.
Elvis? Jesus. Hope Tom Hanks wasn’t one of them.
Really glad to see the EEAAO love – it was my favorite movie of the year, but I was afraid that it came out so early in the year that it would be buried by nomination season.
No Mia Goth? The oscars are such garbage.
I would have loved to see her on the list as she very much deserved it, but I’d have been shocked as well. The Academy doesn’t watch horror films.
she’s up for an independent spirit award, at least
Perfectly happy to see EEAAO get a bunch of noms even though, hot take, I thought it was good but not great. I’m happy that a sort of weird action/sci-fi/existentialism shindig got so much love but it is SO overrated.
Having watched it again this past weekend, you are wrong. You are, of course, welcome to your opinion. But that opinion is wrong.
I liked it enough to be told I’m wrong. Fair play.
Tentatively agree. I watched it, enjoyed it, but wasn’t blown away by it.
I do admit that I wasn’t paying full attention at the time though.
I’m not jumping in here specifically in defense of this movie. I am definitely jumping in here in defense of movie watching, and movies in general. So, to put it bluntly: if your movie watching experience did not involve your full attention (so, so common now, with phones and other distractables everywhere, and the demotion of the movie watching experience), your opinion on the quality of that movie is virtually invalid.
So much this. The only people I know that didn’t like it just weren’t paying attention.
Okay I know this technically is true, but Glass Onion and Top Gun Maverick getting adapted screenplay nominations is a tad silly right? Also All Quiet on the Western Front was a very in name only adaptation.
Happy “James Cameron was also shut out of the directing category” Day to those who celebrate.
The David Bowie doc “Moonage Daydream” missing a nomination is a joke. Easily the best of the year.
I’ve yet to watch Causeway on AppleTV+, but I’m really glad that Bryan Tyree Henry has been nominated. That was an unexpected and welcome surprise.
You can instead stare at a blank sheet of paper for 90 minutes and be just as entertained. Lawrence and Henry do their best but their characters have no depth and the dialogue is crap. Still happy for Paper Boi though
Simpering film critics: “Lots of noms for Nope, right?”Academy: “Nope.”Thankfully someone had the chutzpah to blank Peele’s weakest effort yet.
AQOTWF should win all awards its nominated for.
I actually much prefer Top Gun: Maverick to Everything, Everywhere All At Once though I’d be happy if either wins given the middle-brow bollocks that normally gets Best Picture.
I’d prefer this in list form.
I really need Colin Farrell to win this year. He’s such a consistent actor.
Cracked up pretty hard over Avatar as Best Picture but no Best Director nod. He made a movie a lot of people saw. Enough already.
