Definitely a stronger pick than Nomadland. I liked Nomadland, but there’s plenty of other movies that do the plotless character study thing way better.

The reason why I f*** with power of the dogs is because it had there will be blood vibes.

Alana Haim had to learn how to drive a stick shift van backwards down a suburban street

Denis being snubbed for Best Director is a crime with the amount of time and effort he’s put into making dune and the fact that it’s always been his dream project.

Power of the Dog is literally one of the most boring films i’ve seen in a while, and the main reason it’s been nommed 12 times (which is ridiculous in itself) is because of the sexual aspect of it

If Spider-Man was miles morales instead of Peter the oscars would be acting like it was the movie that defeated Covid and racism.

also, it's actually a way better list of best picture nominations than last year. movies that people have seen with famous people in them. i think dune best picture is not out of the realm of possibility

yea i thought it was kinda boring also, but it's not bad

The problem with dune is it’s a pt 1 of a movie with a sequel it had no definite ending. It deserves best visuals Denise is the god of sci fi movies

I thought it was boring too but that’s how I feel about western films in general, might rewatch it

What is you talking about it just wasn’t that great a black man couldn’t save that plot not even 3 white men, a magical boy , zendaya and an older white man with a white woman dying and a blind white man ft evil white men who are monsters but not really with one redemption and a black man consumed by power all in a plot where a white man destroys the world in an effort to get into a ivy league school with his people of color friends

The problem with Dune is Dune

SORKIN SHUT OUT OF DIRECTOR/PICTURE/SCREENPLAY

LIN MANUEL NOT NOMINATED FOR BEST PICTURE

SPIDERMAN 1 NOMINATION (will lose to dune)

Dune everything

Bro break down to me why the kid killed Benedict, was the writing on the wall the entire movie or did that s*** come from left field?

Denis snubbed for best director

Alana didn’t get the nom?

HOW

the best picture noms I didn't see:

King Richard
Belfast
West Side Story

Lost Daughter shouldn’t have been in the category for anything. What a nap classic

Seen half the best picture noms already

5 more to go

Tick tick boom should’ve been nominated tho

My personal ranking:
Dune
West Side Story
Licorice Pizza
King Richard
Belfast
Nightmare Alley
Don't Look Up
The Power of the Dog
CODA

Haven't seen Drive My Car

So many great movies didn't get any shine, goddamn

It's always disappointing when the only movies I haven't seen going into the nominations be s*** like Free Guy and House of Gucci

Flee being nominated for basically everything it could have been was cool though, that's a great movie

Super happy with all the love drive my car got here, and very not surprised by still surprised Belfast did numbers

better noms than last year but still nothing too interesting

Why is that inherently a good thing lol

I don't want the Oscars to be the Grammys, have some standards

Don't Look Up a Best Picture nominee

No Alaina haim is a crime

Hope Kristen Stewart gets it
