Some pretty shitty nominations in there
you really think so? where?I love De Niro, but he was not even close to the best supporting actor this year. And 2 nominations from Anatomy of a Fall? They were serviceable (the kid is really good for a kid though). And Donnie Yen? Get the fuck out of here. I loved that movie and his character, but c'mon

Fallen Leaves - great movie. Production design? Lolol
The editing category is all kinds of fucked up.
Like, who the hell are these voters?
Top 7 to show De Niro
Robert Downey Jr (Oppenheimer)
Mark Ruffalo (Poor Things)
Ryan Gosling (Barbie)
Charles Melton (May December)
Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers)
Sterling K Brown (American Fiction)
Robert De Niro (Killers)
well, we had sessa, melton, and gosling categorized as leads... there are various scenes in those movies shown from their perspective (what we decided is a lead performence) whereas there isn't really any centering of the movie around de niro or whoever else we nominated.Oh, well that does help
Oh, well that does help
But where is Robert Downey Jr?
I really did love Fallen Leaves btw. It just feels way too constrained and empty for Production Design
i think 2 of 14 people had rdj on their ballot because he wasn't good in that movie. just doing regular smarmy rdj mugging except it happened to be in a nolan movie.Well, I guess that is an opinion

[guy whose username I don't remember sorry]I fucking love this guy.
Donnie Yen getting a nom but not Willem Dafoe is pretty wild. I love Donnie Yen but come on
Idk how Poor Things is an Oscar-y movie other than it being nominated for the Oscars. If anything I'm surprised it got nominated to begin with.
I do think the Emma Stone praise is way over stated. That was some Simple Jack levels of acting at times and if she beats out Lily Gladstone that will be really disappointing.
being nominated for oscars makes you an oscar-y movie i think. that's just yorgos' deal now with b2b best pic nominations.You basically just said that it is impossible for a non-oscar-y movie to be nominated, because as soon as it is nominated...

I feel like you are just trolling us sometimes
idk man. the favourite was nominated for and won some oscars last time he made a movie. seemed obvious to me that poor things would likely be a frontrunner before anyone even saw it. and then it got good reviews. and then it was nominated for a shitload of oscars. not sure how this is trolling.Not commenting on Yorgos. I am commenting on your general explanation

yeah i mean they're the well reviewed, well marketed movies with all of the big guild screenings and q&a's. then they hog up all the nominations for everything. figured you guys would enjoy something a little fresher.You keep ignoring what you said. You said as soon as the movie is nominated for an Oscar, it's an Oscar type movie. Therefore a non Oscar movie being nominated for an Oscar doesn't exist.
guess that's on me for having expectations
Was John Wick 4 not well reviewed or well marketed? LolIt definitely was. If it was up to me, I would nominate it for best picture, best director, best cinematography, best sound, and best editing. And it is really a shame that there is not a nomination for something surrounding stunt work
Was John Wick 4 not well reviewed or well marketed? Lol
Its a weird distinction. A movie is an Oscar-y movie because they campaigned for it to be nominated for the Oscars. Uh, okay? still doesn't detract from Willem Dafoe's performance in comparison to Donnie Yen's lol
yeah donnie's was better.You can lie to us but don't lie to yourself player
But where is Robert Downey Jr?

I'm surprised people are upset about Donnie Yen. It's a brilliant performance, emotionally and physically. Not just in the physicality required for the long takes and fight choreography but for the small gestures and mannerisms he adds to his character. Full of personality, grace, and style. Tragic that even Gamefaqs can't celebrate a performance like that in a genre movie.You sound exactly the same as Zithers
I didn't have Yen on my ballot, but he would have come before RDJ or Dafoe. If the people of CE want Poor Things representation, I did have Ruffalo and Kathryn Hunter (supporting actress) on my ballot, and had it at second for production design, behind Asteroid City.
You sound exactly the same as Zithers
I don't hate Downey Jr. in Oppenheimer, but I think by and large Nolan still doesn't let his characters be human enough for me to find anything to blow me away in the resulting performances. Love it or hate it or in between, I think the direction makes Oppenheimer what it is far more so than any of the performances. The performances were uniformly solid and did what they needed to do--and, spoiler, it did make my ensemble ballot--but none individually electrified me.I think this is fair criticism even if I don't completely agree.

I loved Sessa, Melton, and Gosling's performances but I considered them all co-leads. Sessa being campaigned in so many current awards for supporting is the most egregious awards category fraud since like Hailee Steinfeld being campaigned as supporting for True Grit. He's fantastic in the movie but he's definitely a lead in it.All fair. I was going by the Oscar designations, right or wrong.
I'll also say that the awards and noms--by their nature and appropriately--being consensus, it papers over a lot of disagreement and diversity of opinion within the group of people voting. I think at one point we were split 6-5 or 6-6 whether to count Melton as lead or supporting, so while we have to make a call to avoid a great performance getting no or less recognition from the arbitrariness of being split between categories, those calls can be close. And the same is true of voting--a widely selected choice can best something that only half of us loved, or something that a few people really loved can punch above its weight if everyone else is split.
