I think Lily Gladstone should have won best actress. Her restrained and reserved performance outshone what was I think De Niro’s best performance since Casino or Cape Fear, she also outshone DiCaprio.

and honestly, I think the academy has screwed up royally with Martin Scorsese movies overall. Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and Killers Of The Flower Moon should have gotten one of best picture or best director over the years.

At least he's won Best Director. Hitchcock never did.
 
I agree the Emma vs Lily vote was likely super close. Lily had won Golden Globe - Drama and the SAG. Emma the Golden Globe - Comedy/Musical and the BAFTA. Lily probably had the slight advantage going into the Oscars.

I'm seeing some people still claiming Barbie was snubbed despite 8 total noms and a win. It was never going to win any Oscars for acting. And if Best Picture was still limited to 5 it would not have even gotten that nomination (would likely have been Oppenheimer, Killers of the Flower Moon, Poor Things, American Fiction, and Anatomy of a Fall). And its nomination for adapted screenplay is a bit of a stretch to be honest.

That’s shocking too. After the Oscars wrapped up I looked up best picture winners and nominee’s going back the the 30’s. I have to say I think they’ve gotten the best picture wrong about 20% or more of the time.

how the hell did The Sand Pebbles, Mississippi Burning, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver and more lose?


EDIT: and Hicthcock and Kubrick never winning an Oscar in the major category is a joke

Tried watching Poor Things. Wife: "It looks like a pretentious art film, you love that sh*t."

We made it about 30 minutes before shutting it off.

I watched it over the weekend. Pretty much the same reaction as you for that roughly 30 minutes, but hung in there. I don't think it's great, but I found myself enjoying it well enough.

Except for Ruffalo. Jesus I can't stand him. Do people really think he's a good actor?
 
I'm 20 minutes into the Eras Tour (Taylor's Version) on Disney+ and ... *swoon*

Also impressed their servers aren't a smoking pile of ashes from everyone streaming it starting at 8pm CT.
