I'm really out of touch, but at first glance, I see a lot of the standard 'blocks' fighting with each other:
Instead of a single prestige sci-fi movie (Dune, Inception) that racks up nominations but just sweeps the technical categories, you have Everything Everywhere and Avatar fighting each other (with sniping by Black Panther).
You have the (european) language block (All Quiet) fighting with the Hollywood nostalgia block (Fablemans).
And as odd as nearly every actor in Everything getting nominated (except for poor James Hong), I could see none of them winning - Yeoh loses to Blanchett, Hsu and Curtis lose to Angela Bassett, and Quan (probably the best shot) losing to Gleeson or even Hirsch.

At least Yeoh and Quan won Critics Awards.

I liked Top Gun but I'm surprised it's even nominated. Watching the planes fly was cool but the script and cast was just an excuse to show the planes flying. I can't even remember the call signs of the other pilots which the original at least got you invested in a couple of the characters. Nothing wrong with a good popcorn movie but if it's best picture then it was a really bad year for movies.

Same reason Avatar was nominated. A number of years back they made the decision to start nominating more "blockbuster" films seen by a wide audience to the best picture category...mostly as a tactic to try to draw viewers to the show, since numbers had been declining for years.

Yeah and it ain't working.

Fuck, I used to think of Oscar night as a major event each year. A must see.

Now there's no chance I'll watch

Posthumous oscar to Jeffrey Epstein for services rendered would seem very fitting.

I wore out a cassette tape of the Top Gun soundtrack when I was a kid.

finally got around to watching Elvis and it wasn't that bad, although Tom Hanks was probably mis cast. assuming the story in the movie is true (big if) i never knew all that crazy stuff about their life

especially sad given Lisa Marie dying recently

also babylon releasing on VOD this week, its the only big oscar movie you couldn't watch at home
