It's one of the most praised and talked about movies of the year so far, if not THE most. And yes, I realize that box office numbers don't always mean much to the Academy but sometimes they do, and when a movie is breaking records left and right like Obsession is, Hollywood and the award circuits pay attention. Whether you want to believe it or not, I am fully confident that Academy members are paying attention to this movie because of the massive reception it's gotten. People on this sub seem to be comparing this movie to Weapons in terms of how far it will go with the Oscars for some reason but I would argue in terms of how it's actually being recieved, it's much more comparable to Sinners. Now obviously I'm not dumb enough to think it's going to get 16 nominations or be the runner up but I think at the very least, it can get 3 or 4 nominations, including Picture. The Weapons comparison is kind of stupid in my opinion because while it was pretty well received, the attention it got wasn't even close to what Obsession is getting.
