Film awards are fake bullshit

Both movies were shit

Barbie has better written characters overall, Nolan's character writing was always (and I'mma bet always will be) superficial minus 'that edge, powerful man sad'. I watched both films on camera rips from my own home like a true

Recently saw Poor Things, and I agree with your analysis mostly. Barbie is clearly taking risks, and the nomination makers probably despise that about it. It's an example of financially successful 'Trojan cinema' in the context of US studio system.

I just saw Oppenheimer and didn't like it. It's got good performances and it's fine, but yeah i didn't like and I'm not sure what the film actually wants to say.

To be fair, it had an uphill battle with me, i went in expecting to movie to basically be "the atom bomb is bad because it made the great man sad" and seems like it was that, while being exceedingly self-important.

Talk to Me wasn't nominated for Original Screenplay.... Bottoms wasn't nominated for Original Score....

wild

eh

I found them both to not be good.

whatever criticisms …..

no, they arent really. people can not like something because they dont like it or because it is white pop feminism. It isnt a binary thing.

Oppo was enjoyable to watch from a cinematic pov, but it was just very boring otherwise.

I love the Greta Gerwig/Noah Baumbach combo (Frances Ha my favorite movie that I saw in 2023) and honestly I dont rate Barbie that high

Fun movie that takes far more risks that most mainstream films but thats about it for me

If Barbie doesn’t win for production design and costume design I’ll riot

well yeah, I don't know why you're looking for Barbie to get accolades from the academy rather than adweek.
