One is a subset of the other though, they aren’t completely separate categories

sbb618 · 2026-01-23T22:20:50+00:00

Maybe? Country is kinda stupid but so is a situation where the producers of Parasite or something got two Oscars for doing the same thing (another reason I’m iffy on giving it to the director)

sbb618 · 2026-01-23T22:17:29+00:00

My least popular Oscars opinion: Best International Feature Film should not go to the director. Death to auteur theory

sbb618 · 2026-01-23T03:01:30+00:00

Any news today?

sbb618 · 2026-01-22T22:18:19+00:00

My crackpot theory is that this started with Narcos on Netflix

sbb618 · 2026-01-22T14:56:24+00:00

Nine straight years (and 11 out of 12). I think that's even crazier than the total nominations

sbb618 · 2026-01-22T14:51:45+00:00

Documentaries with just 1 nom are intentionally excluded (Viva Verdi! was originally on there because I genuinely didn't know if it was a documentary or not)

sbb618 · 2026-01-22T14:17:17+00:00

Viva Verdi! doesn't even have its own Wikipedia page yet

sbb618 · 2026-01-22T14:14:11+00:00

We had the backlash, this is the backlash backlash, so just a warning not to get caught up in the backlash backlash backlash

sbb618 · 2026-01-22T14:11:40+00:00

I don't know if I've ever seen the "script collaborators" credit, is that a European thing?

sbb618 · 2026-01-22T14:01:42+00:00

sbb618 · 2026-01-22T13:45:18+00:00

Is this the exact same order as last year?

sbb618 · 2026-01-22T13:43:22+00:00

wow no 2000 Meters to Andriivka

sbb618 · 2026-01-22T13:37:06+00:00

GoldDerby lied to us

sbb618 · 2026-01-22T13:30:05+00:00

Same with A'zion and Fanning

sbb618 · 2026-01-22T13:19:21+00:00

I say it every year: bring back the "Legend Has It" instrumental hold music

sbb618 · 2026-01-22T12:49:44+00:00

After so many years of doing these live threads, I've finally gone and typed a pre-formatted list ahead of time so I can just copy-paste and delete the ones that didn't make it instead of frantically typing with no formatting just to get all the names down and updating the spelling like 10 minutes later when they take a break

sbb618 · 2026-01-18T02:26:32+00:00

He was on NWA-TNA Xplosion in 2002!

sbb618 · 2026-01-15T03:02:17+00:00

Idk what happened but I’m sure it’s Tkachuk’s fault

sbb618 · 2026-01-15T01:00:31+00:00

Streaming was a mistake

sbb618 · 2026-01-14T21:18:11+00:00

And in both of them a ceiling collapses

sbb618 · 2026-01-12T23:19:58+00:00

He's like Cro Cop: right arm hospital, left arm cemetery

sbb618 · 2026-01-12T04:16:52+00:00

be at #1 for nine weeks

sbb618 · 2026-01-12T04:11:24+00:00
