Cooper not catching a Best Director nom might actually cause him to pee on stage if he gets a chance
What was Barbie adapted from? Just the IP? Seems like a stretch
It’s pretty weird for America Ferrera to get into Best Supporting while Robbie misses Best Actress. I thought when Ferrera’s name was announced that it would mostly lock Robbie in. But it’s a loaded Best Actress field; if Robbie was going to be snubbed then it’s a shame that Greta Lee for Past Lives wasn’t the beneficiary. It’s more of a bummer that Greta Gerwig didn’t make the Best Director field; this is an overall underperformance for Barbie despite Ferrera’s nom being a mild upset. I’m not the biggest Barbie fan, but I thought it was good and I would have liked to see Gerwig get in.
Sterling K. Brown was also a slight surprise (probably less than Ferrera), and personally I don’t think his performance in American Fiction is anything notable, but I love Brown and I’m happy for him.
Best Picture field is no surprise, would have gone 10-for-10 if I formally predicted it. That’s easily a top three BP field of the past decade. Maestro is the weakest in the field and I still thought it had its good points. (Still haven’t been able to see Zone of Interest, so I am just assuming/hoping it’s better than Maestro.)

Godzilla getting into Best Visual Effects was cool. I figured it was totally off the Academy’s radar.
Im both looking forward to and dreading Zone of Interest. The premise is incredible and bleak.

I agree, but this is where common sense ran into rules and precedent apparently. Barbie had campaigned for Original Screenplay and then the Academy publicly ruled a few weeks ago that it lands in Adapted.
I don’t remember my source, but I read something that said the ruling was entirely consistent with what the Academy rules are on the original/adapted distinction.
I really like the idea (“like” in the bleakest sense, of course), but I’m a bit spooked by the fact that it’s the same director as Under the Skin. That movie gets tons of plaudits and did nothing for me.

Gosling nom for Barbie!
TIL that there was a movie last year with Annette Benning and Jodie Foster
Very happy to see the two noms.
Yeah, BP is huge, I have to think getting into that field guarantees a lot more people watch the movie once it hits streaming next week. That’s the real win here.

Other than Barbie stuff, is there anything I should be rooting for to pwn the cons?
Hits streaming next week? Where?
Past Lives is scheduled to hit Paramount Plus next Friday.
I thought it was already available to rent on Amazon.
It is, but I dont go for that pay for play shit when Ive got 4 streaming services signed up.
Good to hear its coming to Paramount next week. Its on my “must watch soon” list
It is. It can be seen for $6 right now. I don’t tend to rent much, but they waited me out and got my $6 before finally announcing a streaming drop. Thankfully it was great enough to justify me breaking with my usual personal policy.
According to my AMC app it’s also getting a theater re-release soon.
