Sandler had more of a chance.

No reason to watch this year. I'll be silently rooting for Parasite while I do something more enjoyable. Maybe I'll give the bathroom a scrub.

Great to see Florence Pugh nominated, she was great every second she was on screen.

Funny, only a couple months ago I was thinking that they might not be total shit this year thanks to the above-average number of good-to-great movies of relative prominence kicking around. They actually managed to fuck it up way worse than I imagined possible.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if Parasite takes anything except Foreign Film and maybe Screenplay.

Substitute Actor for Actress (x2) and this also describes Green Book.

gerwig deserved a nomination, and LW deserved a nom for editing
Obv. I was wrong about Awkwafina but IMO she deserved not only a nomination but to win. And that film should have gotten a best picture nod.
Disappointed but not surprised to see Last Black Man in San Francisco completely overlooked.

Can't wait for the Anonymous Oscar Asshole column where he complains about not being able to tell the Parasite characters apart
Oh god, I can not wait for this either.
I haven't seen Joker yet, but beyond that I haven't seen anything I outright hated in the Best Picture category. Jojo Rabbit is obviously not good and 1917 one big empty void, but neither are exactly Vice or Dallas Buyers Club-level awful. Banderas, unlike Ethan Hawke, got in. Honeyland is a double feature nominee (doc/international). Parasite got nominations for production design, editing. There are actually good things this morning.
But it's the Oscars, and so obviously it sucks.

Beyond the headline outrage over all-male director slate and nearly all-white acting slates, I have settled on 1917 for screenplay as the most egregious nomination of the morning.

She was fine, but my main surprise is that the film was certainly inoffensively bland enough for Oscar. It was a nice, gossamer family tearjerker that didn't even want to jerk tears too much.

It missed in editing, so no, I won't have to say that. Didn't remember Tarantino's movie also missed out there, tho, so I guess that leaves the following contenders with editing/directing/screenplay nominations:

Joker's going to be this generation's Gandhi. It's somehow going to win best costume design and then steamroll its way to 8 wins overall.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire was really screwed over, first by Centre national de la cinématographie, and then by the Academy (in cinematography, production design, and original score). Guess there's just one foreign language film allowed to leak into the other categories each year.
