95th Academy Award Nominations

You know what goes great with coffee on a Tuesday morning?  Outrage.   *ahem*  Why in THEE FUCK is Top Gun 2 nominated for Best Picture?!  And Glass Onion gets the pity Adapted Screenplay nod??  Excuse me??  And where exactly is Nope?  Nowhere to be seen!  SIX!  SIX nominations for Top Gun!  *sips coffee* Oh, the whole main cast of EEAO got nominated, that's nice.  And Brendan Fraser.  That makes me happy.  No disrespect to Cate Blanchett but if Michelle Yeoh doesn't win, I will riot.  Haven't seen either movie yet, but I've loved Michelle Yeoh since Wing Chun.  What the fuck is Triangle of Sadness?  And why didn't RRR get on the International Feature list?  I thought that was a shoe-in.
