No real surprises here. There's the obligatory Holocaust-But-Centered-on-Germans film, the Weird One, the Blockbuster/Here's-One-for-the-Plebs, a couple of biopics, a Black-led and an Asian film so they can pretend they're not racist.
Best Director
Justine Triet - Anatomy of a Fall
Martin Scorsese - Killers of the Flower Moon
Christopher Nolan - Oppenheimer
Yorgos Lanthimos - Poor Things
Jonathan Glazer - The Zone of Interest
Looks like Triet got the Woman in Directing slot so no room for Greta Gerwig. Everyone else is white and male, so expected.
Best Actor
Bradley Cooper - Maestro
Colman Domingo - Rustin
Paul Giamatti - The Holdovers

Jeffrey Wright - American Fiction
No big upsets here unless you're Leonardo DiCaprio.

What a world. Ridley Scott just got as many nominations as the origin story of Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Amazing.

Okay, so Scott ended up with three nominations. That's respectable. Probably still going to feel like a snub, though.
Oppenheimer is leading the board but I expected more for Barbie, if I'm honest. Cutting Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig is a slight. The May December camp is probably feeling the sting too. Hilarious that two major films about women were overshadowed by their supporting male leads. But it means we're getting a live performance from Gosling which makes all the misogyny worth it.
As always, the clock starts now on me watching as many of these things as I can until the ceremony on March 10. Stay tuned.
