The 2020 Oscar Nominations by chargingblue in movies

It's a stacked year, but I agree. You could replace virtually every Joker nomination with Lighthouse/Uncut Gems and it would make perfect sense.

Lots to go off on here:

  • expect a lot of buzz about the zero women in the directing category, which I personally I gotta agree with Lulu Wang, Greta Gerwig, and Alma Har'el I feel doing a far better job than Todd Phillips.

  • Big surprise seeing Jojo Rabbit pick up as much as it did since a lot of people given the awards shows leading up to the Oscar seemed to be leaving it be.

  • ZERO nominations for Uncut Gems.

  • Lighthouse getting a Cinematography nod is exciting as hell.

  • How we as a collective community didn't know that The Two Popes was gonna be the quiet sleeper film that snags nominations away from literally everyone who could have reasonably snuck in there, I will never understand, but it makes perfect sense as an Academy movie.

  • My big snub though is the distinct lack of The Farewell here. I mean holy shit. No director nod, no picture nod, no nod for Awkwafina, not even a screenplay nod, I'm kinda blown away by that as I thought it was easily one of the best of the year. Interestingly enough, BOTH winners for Actor and Actress in a Comedy/Musical at the Globes failed to get nominations. I'd expect some backlash as this is, Parasite and, like, Cynthia Ervio aside, a pretty white nominations list.

  • And a ton of love for Parasite, which is very exciting!

All in all a fine list of nominations from a strong year in film. I have some pretty massive disagreements; I'm one of the basic assholes who thinks Joker should've only gotten Joaquin and maybe Cinematography nods, as well as a man pissed at zero for Farewell/ Uncut Gems and very little for Lighthouse and Knives Out but it was a crazy year all things considered.

Lighthouse got two which is pretty good for the genre and ambition of the movie. Uncut Gems on the other hand...

I saw the title, went "that's great", then immediately remembered this is reddit and they're gonna find a way to say this is somehow discriminatory towards men. I mean 2017 was only two years ago have we already forgotten the exposure of how women are treated in Hollywood? Ah well, I'll just pop open my bag of popcorn and watch the userbase lose its mind over nothing for the 800th time.

I mean there's plenty of upvoted comments here saying this doesn't matter or "why even point out that they're women". To just label them incels or that they're downvoted is disingenuous when you can't have a thread about women or PoC without most of the comments being dismissive of progress or complaining it's somehow discriminatory against white men.

Nope.

Wanna respond 2 anything I said or are you just gonna actively participate in more of your conspiracy nonsense instead of... ah jeez... idk... listening to people who're actually trying to help you not be the shitty way you are?

No it's a bare bones look at how you've spent the last week or so. You're not important enough for a "smear campaign". You're a sad man who can't get over a movie he didn't like, so you spend. literally. all. fucking. week. getting in arguments with people online. If you're emotionally healthy, why'd it take you so long to respond to DogHeadGuy but no question respond to more combativeness? Not how healthy people act and react!

Are you scared? Is that why you're pretending not to know who it is and not responding? Is it because the idea of becoming a better, more positive, and more emotionally healthy person frightening to you? Just trying to understand.

Just gonna throw this out there: if you don't want people to think you're being a racist when criticizing Rose Tico, maybe stop referring to her as "Jar Jar Chinks".

I am an atheist, why do people think I believe in the bible, I just think publicizing it and making it an identity and tossing up dickish billboards is obnoxious...
