You guys didn’t mention it but Wish didn’t get shortlisted for Song either, Wish will be the first Disney musical to miss an Original Song nomination since Mulan in 1998.
The songs from Wish sucked, so I’m glad they’re not on the shortlist. I’m also glad none of the songs from The Little Mermaid remake got short listed. Those songs sucked too. It would be embarrassing if The Scuttlebutt got nominated.
I really would love to see Godzilla Minus One make the final list for Visual Effects. The fact that the movie looks SO good on such a tiny budget is absolutely mind-blowing. Of course it might not get in for much more stuff, since the Oscar crowd usually has their favorites picked out LONG before Minus One came out. I’d at least like to see it get in for that.
Barbie and Priscilla not making it into the hair and make-up category is a HUGE crime! Also Past Lives not making it into score?? The Academy needs to be put on trial asap.
'The Last Voyage of the Demeter' is actually one of the reasons for Barbenheimer. Nolan had an agreement with Universal that Universal won't premiere any of their movies within a certain amount of time before and after Nolan's movies. Universal wanted to have digital release of 'Last Voyage' (if it fails in theaters) right before the Labour Day while being able to have 'Oppenheimer' still in theaters during Labour Day - so, they only had one possible option for Oppenheimer premiere.
You didn’t take a look at the Animated Short Shortlist but TheBrave Locomotive is gone too. Got a huge following for capturing Disney’s old cartoon’s heart, and ironically now left the opening for Once Upon aStudio to go all the way in.
I honestly wish that Diane Warren was banned from being nominated at this point. The Best Original Song category is constantly throwing away a nomination slot. From the last 9 years of the Oscars, Diane Warren has filled 8 of those years. It's essentially a 4 nominee category at this point. I'm genuinely sick and tired about it.
I think they feel pressure to keep nominating her because she’s never won. But, as another RU-vidr pointed out, she keeps losing because she’s doing songs for movies no one cares about. It’s a vicious cycle
I'm totally in the opposite camp: I think Wes Anderson in short film is one of the biggest locks of the Oscars this year. Not only did it get rave reviews across the board (with some saying it's among his best work), but even with their tendency to gatekeep from time to time, they're not exactly adverse to star power, either (Steven Wright, Brendan Gleeson, and Riz Ahmed have all directed and/or starred in winning films in this category, and Kobe Bryant won Best Animated Short, as well). And with John Travolta, Ben Whishaw, David Oyelowo, AND Pedro Almodóvar, Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal all directing or starring in shortlisted shorts this year, this year is especially star-studded. Also, to me it seems like what they gatekeep is when, say, a Taylor Swift submits a long-form music video into the category; someone who they feel may not deserve it from a filmmaker perspective. But Wes Anderson is the epitome of a well-respected filmmaker, and at the same time, it's also not a guarantee (based on his last few polarizing, divisive films) that he'll be making bangers decades from now like a Scorsese or Spielberg. This could be their best chance to honor one of the most influential filmmakers of the last 25-30 years, and I think they'll take it.
even tho voyage wasnt the most well received film im just happy to see horror representation hopefully its actually considered for a nom and isnt just like crimes of the future last year only making it onto the shortlist and being immediately forgotten
I'm very upset Priscilla & Barbie did not make Makeup & Hairstyling just because The Academy likes transformative prosthetics for like Maestro, Oppenheimer, Poor Things, Ferrari, or like Golda. Past Lives not making Best Score is upsetting, but now I'm worried it'll miss other categories too.
I wasn’t the biggest fan of Voyage of the Demeter because the script really let that movie down. But that was such a well made and well acted movie and I’m glad it’s got shortlisted for one of the techs. I thought the lighting, sound and set design was also very good.
I will laugh again if France's The Taste of Things gets nominated eventually. People watch that one single high-profile French film per year and don't even know the alternatives, then bitch about how it deserved to be the submission and nothing else - CLOWNS! It was the exact same with Les miserables and Portrait of a Lady on Fire.
The International Feature Oscar is one of my things, so I travelled hundreds of miles on an overnight coach to attend a film festival in order to watch the Lithuanian submission Slow. It won awards at Sundance and I thought it was one I NEEDED to see. Since I'd put in the time and expense I also checked out the other films that were in the same screen that day. I didn't think much of the new Hamaguchi and the Swedish awkward humour film was not to my taste, but the first film I saw was Bhutan's The Monk and The Gun. I ended up really liking it, to the extent it was my favourite film of the day over Slow. This surprises me, because I didn't like Lunana as a film and thought it should have been disqualified the year it was nominated because Bhutan had tried to submit it the year before. I walked out of the cinema thinking "It's a shame that won't get shortlisted when Lunana did" I'm glad to be proved wrong. Kokomo City not even being on the shortlist is an absolute travesty.
Assuming it gets nominated, I think POOR THINGS is your Best VFX winner. This category usually favors Best Picture nominees or films that came close to getting it (including pre-release Oscar buzz).
Why do the Academy constantly choose Best Picture nominees to win? Why can’t other films have a chance to win like super hero films? Hugo undeservingly won an Oscar for Best Visual Effects. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 was more deserving.
They usually have a problem to give an Oscar for visual effects to a film with the underwhelming critical reception. That said, Godzilla Minus One has a great chance here (and would definitely be more deserving than Poor Things).
As far as score goes, there were five I wanted to see nominated, and only one has a chance and that’s Oppenheimer. I thought Godzilla minus one had the best score that I’ve heard this year.
The Color Purple is dead. I said on its best day it couldve gotten Picture, Actress, Supporting Actress x2, Supporting actor, makeup, costumes, sound, and song. Globes and critics snubbed songs and now it cant get sound or make up. Colman and Taraji arent making it. That means 2 acting noms? Thats not a BP nominee
i would give best score to spiderverse/oppenheimer. miguel o hara theme alone gets it up there but oppenheimers whole score is so good. i think best makeup and hairstyling i would give, Poor Things, or Priscilla
There can only be two Barbie songs? Sorry Dua Lipa, try again next year I guess? They'd rather have Ryan Gosling strutting his stuff on that stage, right?
@@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719 lf you think of these songs as a TV show producer for the Oscars, of course you'd wish the Academy wouldnt have that stupid rule and would want Dua on that stage as well, but if you have no choice but to get rid of one I guess you'd find more unique and interesting to pick Ryan Gosling and pray that Dua gets to do it at the Grammys or sth?.
@@beabravo6759 The Academy once allowed three songs. Now, they're doing two. It would have been great to see Dua Lipa do her thing on the awards stage.
Now we need the Oscar Expert to sing us Dear Alien Very good showing for Society of the Snow Brother Bro's shirt is nice. Btw, I think he's working out. No fancy feline but you guys might be at another location. 😿 Does anyone know when the above-the-line shortlist comes out?
There's no shortlist for the other categories at the Oscars. Just the nominations now which are Jan 23rd. There's the BAFTA longlists too, which are Jan 5th.
John Williams deserves the nomination for his amazing score, one of the best of the year, and not for being John Williams. I will be concerned if he is not nominated.
@@MovieManReviews The music branch may think the same as me, that's why the score has already earned two well deserved nominations at the Grammys. Helena's Theme is the best piece of original music this year, just saying.
@@pb.j.1753 Godzilla Minus One is my favorite movie of the year so far and I thought it would be awesome to see it get nominated for international film
I saw The Iron Claw last night and so bummed it’s getting completely overlooked! It should’ve at least gotten on the shortlist for sound because of all the wrestling scenes. It’s done now.
@dariussalepetru6770 As much as I love Oppenheimer, it's my 2nd favourite film of the year I don't something that bleak winning Best Picture Also it's got James Woods name attached to it as exectuive producer Nothing which has got that man's on in this day & age is winning Best Picture
was i wrong in thinking anatomy of a fall would have been an international choice, or is there too much english? i thought past lives had too much english too 🤔🤔
It was eligible and it was not picked by France. They picked The Taste of Things which was announced on September 21st. Their full shortlist was: Anatomy Of A Fall by Justine Triet The Animal Kingdom by Thomas Cailley Sons of Ramses by Clement Cogitore The Taste Of Things by Tràn Anh Hùng On The Wondering Paths by Denis Imbert
That is incredibly dumb that a film can only have two songs. Because of this rule Dua Lipa’s song is most likely out and she won’t be able perform it at the Oscars. Best international feature has dumb rules as well. Why not have the best songs and best foreign films be selected in the category
I knew while I was watching the movie, "Past Lives," in the theater that it would be an award contenter, and my track record for predicting these things is pretty good. I thought the same about "As Good As It Gets," "Terms of Endearment," "Ray," and "Kramer vs. Kramer." It easily made my top ten recommendations for 2023 along with "A Thousand and One," and eight others... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--ak_mJdvbpw.htmlsi=gyodOU2V_CbGrQvq
@@Missjunebugfreakyou would think if that were the case they would’ve actually given her an award by now, instead of just 14 nominations where she loses to someone else
I knew none of the songs will be nominated, although I am surprised none of the songs are on the shortlist. Keep in mind, none of the songs from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory got nominated including Pure Imagination.
