No best picture nod for Sicario is actually super hosed up. I've literally never heard of Trumbo at all. No Charlize Theron nod at all is also weird. And Ex Machina got snubbed. Lets go Mad Max

You probably could have cut Brooklyn, Bridge of Spies, and Spotlight/The Martian out of the best picture nominees. Otherwise, it's a big bowl of shrug. It was a weird year for movies that Steve Jobs is actually getting nominations and wins for a bad movie. Just don't let Eddie Redmayne or Jennifer Lawrence win again and I think everything is cool.

It looked like a good movie, and the exact sort of movie that the Academy would love.

But the T-Rex from Jurassic World wasn't nominated either?  What a weak year for nominees. Charlize Theron is the only snub I care about but that's just probably because I love Charlize Theron in everything, especially her scenery chewing roles. Stallone seems hella locked in for that best supporting actor Oscar in lieu of lifetime achievement award thing the Academy loves to do.

computer parts posted:Trumbo is weird, I remember seeing this trailer: I'm amazed Cranston even got nominated for the role, because I don't think the Academy is keen on bringing up the blacklist that much. At least, not the people who were harmed by it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YziNNCZeNs (Check Ed Harris ice grilling at 1:38) In 2014 20 Feet From Stardom was deemed a more worthy documentary than The Act of Killing, but this year there are two documentaries about showbiz up against follow-up/companion piece The Look of Silence. This must present a real conundrum for the voters!

The Academy's love of biz self-commentary probably culminated with Birdman, which I don't think was a very good movie overall. A very trite script with a technically-challenging production. It unfortunately prevents you from reflecting on what's happening in any way, because it's so obsessed with being difficult to film.

Why not nominate Star Wars for best movie? You have 10 spots. It would at least allow them to look like they somewhat care about what audiences like and watch. I mean, it's a bit silly there's such a disconnect between the audience and the Academy voters. The highest grossing movie ever in like 3 weeks, which has gotten universal praise through audiences and reviewers isn't nominated for anything but technical awards. It just makes the Academy Awards look silly. At least a nomination would be some acknowledgement of its success.

Isn't that kind of the point of industry awards though? I mean if you were nominating movies based on gross and general audience reaction, the only current nominee that would stay on the list for Best Picture would be The Martian. Oscars chat is fun to read, but I don't really know much about the process. Doesn't a lot of it depend on which movies the studios themselves push for? I don't think it was ever meant to be a popularity contest / reflection of the general moviegoing audience's tastes - looking at ticket sales already does that.

Codependent Poster posted:It would at least allow them to look like they somewhat care about what audiences like and watch. The Academy Awards are in theory supposed to be about quality instead of monetary success. Being popular and lucrative are not necessarily indicators of being artistically and culturally significant. Using your criteria, the greatest restaurant in the world would be McDonald's and Taylor Swift would be renowned as the one true genius of music. On the other hand, the Academy Awards are mostly a circle jerk anyway, so don't worry too much about it.

The gently caress did Sicario get snubbed for? It's possibly one of the greatest movies of this century so far and yet, almost completely ignored. Did Villenueve piss someone at the Oscars off?

Yeah but the best picture nominated pictures were made by an evil Englishman, a filthy Mexican, a wild Irishman, another wilder Irishman, a savage Australian. Canadians are basically the off-brand version of America so they should in theory have it easier getting nominated than all of the above which are like proper foraners from spooky exotic places that have the metric system and by extension communism where people speak strange tongues incomprehensible to civilized men and hedonism and heathenry reign supreme.

I'm just glad Joy didn't get nominated for Best Picture. I would have liked to see Jupiter Ascending in Best Costume, probably instead of meh period drama The Danish Girl. JA wasn't a great movie, but there were some fantastic outfits there.

Dude's been nominated 41 times now, with only 5 wins (A New Hope, Jaws, ET, Close Encounters, Schindler's List), with the most recent one being 22 years ago. Plus, not sure just how much longer we're gonna have him around what with all the death lately.

Neil Patrick Harris making the single "lol we're so white joke" last year seemed obligatory rather than cathartic. So I'm glad Chris Rock will be hosting, because he might go farther in calling the Academy out. But it probably still won't convince me to tune in to see what happens.
