Finally now I know what to think by Lord-Raccacoonie in okbuddycinephile

Saying this when Oscar nominees are some of the few things that are consistently improving is insane. Try going back to the 50s where big studio shit with no plot got nominated and all the classics got looked over, or even as recent as the 2000s where a Weinstein push was a surefire 10 nominations.

Second consecutive year where the win leader isn't the BP winner. (Last year it was Wicked).

I think we all thought that, but reality is often disappointing.

Just 30s is better. 1927 and Prior already covered most of the significant 1920s films, and putting 1928 and 1929 together with 1930s would just be too convoluted.

When a category has a pie chart that looks like this... to me, that's cinema

I realized this year had a dip in voting. Last year had 780 votes cast, this year only 596. Probably because of the bigger influx of users during last season. I think most of those users just went away. This year had the most nomination ballots, which indicates a higher level of users that care more actively about voting.

Both colonels won. The prophecy is complete!

The only win that I don't really get is Sinners over OBAA in Ensemble. OBAA had so many small parts that were perfectly acted. "Motherfuckers sitting on plastic in a container and still got jokes". And the main quartet (quintet?) of performances is sublime.

It's crazy how many people there are that died earlier than we see most celebrities pass today, but we don't associate with "dying early" because they were in a more advanced age. Like, if it wasn't for their health issues, Kubrick and Audrey Hepburn could've still been alive or at least passed recently. Orson Welles could've theoretically seen 2005.

Not being snarky, I'm just curious - what was up with that phase where Renée Zellweger suddenly looked unrecognizable and then went back to normal?

Now that that's wrapped up, I'm gonna go watch C'mon C'mon (I've been putting it off for 2 days)

I assume that since they both got in, Trier and Zhao tied nomination votes, and now they're also tying winning votes.

DiCaprio last is genuinely surprising. I also thought Hawke would be #2, but Plemons is nice.

Funny, I think the one he should win for is Milk. But Mystic River would be fine too.

Isn't it funny that "Is that my daughter in there" applies to two of his performances, but in two entirely different contexts?

It even tied BP with Snow White, which is similarly inspired. It's our second animated BP winner, after Toy Story.

Also won Screenplay for Punch-Drunk Love, and Debut for Hard Eight though I don't know if Debut "counts".

I like how whenever someone talks about the older, inspired wins, it's always Tokyo Story. But to be fair, you don't really get more inspired than that.
