My lock is that they’ll reference it more than once and it’ll be cringey each time, but I don’t think they would reenact it, but I’ve been wrong before…
I don't think Adum realizes how big Everything Everywhere actually was. Being on film tiktok will make you feel like it was the only movie that has ever released. People fucking love EEAAO
@@GreenHotDogz I’m just saying in reference to Adum’s surprise about all of its nominations. This is one of the rare cases where a movie that comes out today ignites a ton of interest and makes people actually go out to the theater to see more movies. Not to mention it’s genuinely a great film. But the overarching point is that the Academy would be completely idiotic to not nominate EEAAO in everything that they can, considering all of the love that it has gotten and everything it has done to make people interested in movies again (or at least, interesting and artistic films rather than the formulaic Marvel movies and reboots that have been hogging theater space)
@@michaelstrong5383 Mine too! I loved how almost every single element played a part in the story, and despite the story being straightforward, there’s so many meanings that you could put in it other than “family good”. It has some of the best reincorporation of themes and motifs I’ve seen in a movie.
I gotta say, this lineup may be the best since the start of the 2010's. If there was ever a year where the Best Picture nominees accurately represented an entire year in film, then this was it. You have big blockbusters, small indies, foreign films, and everything in between here!
its sad that some people are still saying that the oscars are wack (nomination wise). They're usually not even moviegoers and don't even know what they're talking about. This is certainly one of the best lineups since the 2010s
@@clanofclams2720 This may be even better. We have three movies that came out in the first half of the year! There's nobody who sticks out like a sore thumb, either. If EEAAO wins, it'd be the earliest release (March) of a BP winner since Silence of the Lambs!
I loved that Campion won Best Director (Power of The Dog was my absolute favorite last year), but yeah, I have no idea what they were thinking with BP, Actor and original Screenplay last year.
Adum in a couple weeks: "So I just watched Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris and it was surprisingly amazing. I think it has now become my favorite film of the year and I'm so mad it got snubbed at the Oscars. I'm giving this one a 10/10"
"So I just watched Morbius and it was surprisingly amazing. I think it has now become my favorite film of the year and I'm so mad it got snubbed at the Oscars. I'm giving this one a 10/10"
EEAAO actually had pretty sparse VFX, it definitely feels like it's effects heavy but when you really look back most of that is just very clever editing
Yeah, the International Feature category ignoring Decision to Leave is a genuine snub and massively disappointing. I honestly thought it was a lock for that at least! Granted, All Quiet on the Western Front has the win for that in the bag anyway, though, given how many nominations it got, including Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture. I also wanted Decision to Leave to get a duo Director/Best Picture nomination, even if I don't mind the nominees for those two categories as is. That said, aside from obvious snubs such as Decision to Leave for International, The Woman King for Actress and Costume Design, Nope for Visual Effects, The Batman and Top Gun: Maverick for Cinematography, most of the lineup this year for most of the categories (except the shorts, I don't care about those) is actually really solid. Best Oscar lineup in my opinion since the one for films of 2019 (the one where Parasite won).
I think the same happened with Handmaiden. Park Chan Wook has bad relationship with korean president at that time and, as I understood, PCHW is sort of a persona non grata, de facto if not de yuro. So, his movies are not being presented as a long listed candidate of Korea.
In my opinion the fact that Everything Everywhere All At Once didn’t get a visual effects nomination is criminal. Only 9 people did the effects work and they look better and more realistic than half the nominees.
I found it odd he called him weird looking, so many people where thirsting over him in the Eternals, even more so than Richard Madden i was kinda surprised
The only category I’d say is the most disappointing for is Cinematography. There were better picks for then Empire of Light or Elvis (Nope in particular).
Banshees of Insherin deserved a nomination, The Whale's cinematography was unique for sure, The Batman was great, and Everything Everywhere, All At Once used lighting and aspect ratios to represent different universes (although that could be considered a directorial choice). I haven't seen All Quiet On The Western Front, Tar, Elvis, or Empire of Light yet though. BARDO was great however. It's a shame that that was its only nomination.
I respect the audacity to give Blonde a FYC campaign and it having a nom. And while I don't think she would have won, Mia Goth really should have gotten nominated for best actress for Pearl because WOW.
The only reason I am excited for RRR having a best song nomination is because I can't wait to see how the awards show is gonna butcher a high-energy Indian music number
Paul Mescal’s nomination is an incredible surprise. Feels weird that Tom Cruise or Hugh Jackman could’ve been in there over him. He was so far ahead of them in terms of pure acting ability on show in their respective movies. So happy for him and his family!
@@michaelstrong5383 as someone from Scotland who knows Frankie from some old acting classes, I couldn’t be more impressed and blown away by what she achieved here. So happy for her.
@@madremorelos1573that’s awesome!! Must be cool to see someone you knew to be in such an incredible film. Keep up with your lessons maybe you can be in her spot one day
Definitely some snubs (Women Talking for Best Director and Editing, Nope for anything), but this year's nominations is a huge leap above last year's nominations. Super happy for Brian Tyree Henry in Causeway. He's quickly becoming one of my favorite actors, and he absolutely crushed it in that movie.
Nope didn’t deserve a nomination for any category I can think of. It was decent, but that script was sloppy and undercooked, and the lead actor had the charisma of a sleepwalker.
Aside from Danielle Deadwyler getting snubbed, and Judd Hirsch getting nominated over Paul Dano (seriously, does the academy hate Paul Dano or something?), I feel that most of these nominations were pretty good.
I fucking love Paul Dano and I promised myself I wouldn’t watch the Oscars (except on YMS’s channel) after Toni Collette wasn’t nominated for an Oscar for Hereditary BUT also promised myself that when Paul is nominated, I will watch. What the actual fuck were they on this year?!?! Paul is in a semi-schmaltzy, Oscar bait-y (and it’s still WONDERFUL) film and they STILL OVERLOOK HIM?!?? I swear to god the Academy took Midsommar too seriously and tried all the drugs. (Kidding, but still. Why in the fuck)
I'm torn on screenplay. I kind of want EEAAO to win for its sheer originality (as well as quality), but Lydia Tar is one of the best written characters of the past 15 years....seriously, I put her up there with Lleweyn Davis.
Triangle of Sadness is not eligible for the Best International Picture Oscar due to it being in English. Variety asked the director if he regretted the fact that making the movie in English would disqualify him from that category, and he responded by saying "Not really".
Adam if you're looking at this, the song RRR was nominated for occurs roughly 75-80 minutes in at a party, so if you're watching this because it got nominated and you're getting bored/annoyed, I'd recommend skipping to there and deciding whether or not to continue when it's done. Edit: Oh and also if you really want to refresh yourself on Judd Hirsch's performance and (understandibly) don't want to rewatch The Fabelmans, I'd recommend looking for the one scene he appears in on RU-vid. Edit 2: Just rewatched RRR and oh boy oh boy did I get the time period for the party scene wrong (it's actually around 55-60 minutes). Probably a good example anyway of that movie being too long.
Sea Beast was a pretty decent animated movie until halfway through, then it became a really hamfisted How to Train Your Dragon with the whole "maybe WE'RE the monsters!" bullshit The fact that RRR nor Decision to Leave got nominated for International Feature Film is actually shocking
Glad the animation category wasn't an absolute joke. Also shocked, Netflix has two nominations and Pixar only has one. I'd be okay with any of them winning, but I'm hoping Pinocchio wins because it'd be a giant middle finger to Disney.
Is Disney gonna put a chip in me and steal my children or something? Why does anyone care about them failing so much? Just don’t watch their crap and shut up lol
I'm only looking forward to Brendan Fraser winning an Oscar the same way I looked forward to Guillermo Del Toro winning an Oscar. I like their stuff, and I want to see them in more work. It would be the ultimate comeback.
@ColeTurner The Depp SAG upset helped tip the scales in favor of Penn over Murray, while Penn was in a Best Picture nom over Rourke, whose comeback proved short-lived even with _Iron Man 2._
I used to get sent Oscar the for your consideration movies when my great aunt was still alive. She would of been happy to see the impact Asians and Koreans been having the last few years. Passed away at 97 years old :(
My prediction if Cate Blanchett doesn't win it's either going to Michelle Yeoh or Ana De Armas, if it goes to De Armas it will be the funniest Oscar win since Bohemian Rhapsody for Best Editing.
Yup, Armas is more or less an overglorified bombshelf, she's mediocre at best, she even couldn't change her cuban accent for the role and always played only a caricature of Monroe, like she was on a coctail party and somebody asked her if she would do an impression of Monroe, it definitely isn't oscar-worthy.
@@Ali007572 I mean I don't think she's bad, she was just horribly miscast in that movie. She's honestly pretty good in the right role but this clearly wasn't it and her nomination is obviously due to it being a biopic about a famous person which the Academy loves to honour even when they're shit.
@@thatguyseb8824 Well, yes, she can be good, but I honestly don't think, that she's better than the average, she's more or less overglorified because of her looks and "cuteness". I didn't want to put her down, but imho she isn't anything special really. But it isn't exactly a biopic per se, because it's a historical fiction, it's based on a book that was written by some lady and that was some NY times bestseller (or something like that). On the contrary, yes, it's miscast, even when you do something like this and it's fiction, it still has a base in the history, so even when they made up things that don't exactly belong there, Monroe should've been played by somebody who looks and can behave like her. I would never imagine, that if you ask me "who can play Monroe?" - the answer would be Armas, I would honestly laugh at that. I really don't like this "trend" that you cast somebody who on the first glance doesn't look the part and he/she has to convince you that he/she can play the part. F.e. I don't buy Pattinson's Batman aka "Battinson", or Craig's version of Bond who is basically a variation on Jason Bourne and not an OG Bond. I would like that if they cast somebody in some known role, he should fit and look the part, the acting performance is also important but all of these atributes should be balanced in a more harmonious way, not just in the way that the he/she can act. (sorry for the long comment)
i hope so badly that turning red doesn't win. usually disney is going up against mid movies anyway so their also mid movie will just win be default but oh god please let any other movie win for animation
Just watched Decision to Leave and I feel like it's honestly the best Hitchcock film I've ever seen, that's about the best way I can describe it. Total shame that it got completely locked out, presumably because it wasn't playing on some widely accessible social context and was instead a very intimate and personal investigation of a relationship. Also, I'm annoyed by the fact that anywhere I talk about the film, someone always shows up to go "yeah man Park Chan Wook got robbed dude, just like Jordan Peele, man, Decision to Leave and Nope, bro, two peas in a pod amirite, so wrong how they both got robbed" it's almost comical how many times it's happened to me already.
Not that surprised to be honest. I think the Whale is mostly getting praise for Brendan's heartbreaking performance (and Hong Chau too) but outside of that the actual film has been divisive with many people. So it makes sense it wasn't nominated for Best Picture.
@@benabramowitz18 Yeah, it seems AMPAS doesn’t care that it’s one of the few Oscar-bait cineplex offerings that actually made more than $10 million domestically.
I just watched The Whale today and it really wasn’t all that great up until the very ending when everything tied together. The acting wasn’t as good as it was hyped either. Brendan Fraser was pretty great, but Hong Chau was not nominee worthy in my humble opinion. I’m not a huge fan of the dialogue in any of Aronofsky’s flicks, but it was an improvement. Sadie Sink was pretty great, but I think the writing for her character was FAR too obvious.
I am seriously considering giving The Fabelman's a rewatch. I thought it was boring, but other than Adam, everyone who's talked about this movie absolutely loved it. Maybe there's something I missed.
@@Courier_333 Every single performance, and i mean every single performance felt cartoonish. Don't get me started with michelle williams, never have i seen someone be so oscar baity in a performance. I found the family drama to be extremely generic (which isn't a bad thing, its in the execution) but it was also meandering and way too long than it was warranted. Gabrielle Labelle i found to be mediocre in his role, there were hints of jewish discrimination that didn't really have evoke any emotion nor was it executed well. Don't really buy the whole michelle williams and paul dano affair with seth rogan. For a movie that really wanted to focus on the theme of pursuing passion, the film lacked passion. The technical aspects as well. I thought that part of the reason why its boring is because the score was put on like 2% volume and was a very muted score. Even on listening to the soundtrack, the tracks themselves are extremely meh and fail to evoke anything (unlike most john williams scores)
Same; I wasn't crazy about it. It was Williams' and Dano's least impressive performances in awhile, and the family conflict was sanitized to the point of feeling insulting, like the audience is a bunch of dumb kids who can't handle it. Spielberg portrayed divorce through the child's eye way better (and more honestly) in Catch Me If You Can.
@@jamesquinonez3914Yeah, not only does Jordan Peele already have his “token” Oscar, but his follow-up projects don’t need to get nominated, either. Ugh... >_
13 lives was a good movie in my opinion probably worthy of at least one Oscar nomination for editing or cinematography. I felt that the editing was very well done. It was a very well paced film. It handled tone and tension very very well. A real nail biter
Out of all the nominations, the only one that strikes me as a surprise was Andrea Riseborough for To Leslie. I say this because no one even heard of it until that hashtag started trending to get her nominated. Having seen the film, her performance is the only thing worth watching. The rest of it is an Oscar bait flick of a woman overcoming her addiction that has pretty much become a parody on Oscar-type films. You get the feeling like it was solely made for that specific category (Andrea is even listed as one of the executive producers of the flick), and the Academy took the bait.
It's sad that all she needed to do campaign wise is wait till the last minute, call up some of her friends, and post something on social media when other deserving actresses who've actually tried and gained steam over the award season got forgotten. I'm not saying she's undeserving, just that there are many worthy performances that go unnoticed every year and it was a bit unreasonable to expect accolades for a movie most film buffs haven't even heard of when you barely did anything to promote it.
That’s true, but it’s def a better performance than Blonde :/ even though it does suck that Viola or Danielle were snubbed, but that’s the way of the industry (I don’t think in my lifetime we’ll be seeing things change much). Plus it is kind of a wonderful root for the underdog.
The northman was snubbed. That was a damn good movie. Seeing it in theaters was amazing. Very few movies make me wish I could watch them in theaters again but the sound in the movie was so good.
I stand by that top gun mavericks adapted screenplay does deserve recognition. While sure the dialogue isn't outstanding, nor is the story thought provoking or entirely unique, it gets the most improved player award. The fact that they improved SOO MUCH over the first one, I feel like is definitely in part due to the screenplay
I've been looking at the montage at around 16:40 "iluminaty symbold hidden in hollywood films for one frame" by TruthSeeker1214, 12 views, 14 years ago. That movie NEEDS all the Oscars they can get. Also "I luv tennis"
I really wanted to see Athena for cinematography, even if just for the opening alone. Decision to Leave too for literally anything, what a snub. RRR too deserved more than just the 1 for song personally.
If a film is in the English language it wont be nominated in International Feature - I don't understand why the renamed the category from Foreign Language Film.
@@Wired4Life2 there are people that definitely use the term "foreign" in a derogatory demeanor. However, in the context of describing a language that isn't from your country I don't see how it is.
The nominations this year are the closest to solid they’ve been in a while, though Nope getting snubbed is a huge bummer and I don’t think should be overlooked despite everything else being pretty good/fair
It makes sense that nope wasn't nominated for anything while the fabelmans was nominated for so mamy awards. Nope was making fun of this sort of masturbatory media like the fabelmans and the oscars don't like that
Paul Mescal needs more attention and I’m hoping his Oscar nom gets him more movie deals. He was amazing in Normal People and I highly highly recommend everyone watch it.
@@fragilehandlewithcare3967 Keep watching!! It gets so much better. Especially after the third episode. It’s pretty mumblecore, ngl But I really resonated with thhose characters.
It's no wonder award show ratings plummet every year. They're not judging categories based on quality. The only criteria left is "Will choosing this person/film/artwork spare us from Twitter's wrath?"
My Picks for the Winners: Picture: EEAAO Director: The Daniels Actor: Colin Farrell Actress: Michelle Yeoh Supp Actor: Ke Huy Quan Supp Actress: Hong Chau Adapted Screenplay: Women Talking Orig. Screenplay: Banshees Cinematography: All Quiet Costume: Black Panther Editing: EEAAO Makeup: The Whale Production Design: Avatar Score: Banshees Song: Naatu Naatu Sound: Top Gun VFX: Avatar Animated: Puss n Boots
Unpopular opinion: The Fabelmans deserves best picture. It’s an authentic movie that loves movies, what more could you ask? Not to mention it’s just generally a very solid movie. Yes, Banshees is the superior film, but The Fabelmans is what the Oscars are all about: celebrating film. And The Fabelmans does celebrate film and it is an extremely effective film.
@Bread And Circuses as an aspiring filmmaker myself, I very much related to it. And even if I couldn’t, I would still very much enjoy the experience. It’s fun, it’s honest, it’s charming, I don’t know what else to say.
i love Marilyn so much and thats why i never watched Adum’s video about blonde because i just CAN’T- i have never liked movies about her, no one can convincingly play her imo.
Morbius is the snub of all time, just kidding. The actual few snubs I’m upset about are how Nope could’ve been nominated for stuff like for Sound and Original Screenplay and Top Gun: Maverick not being in the Cinematography category, apart from the Oscars embarrassing themselves every year. I’m also predicting that someone will make a joke about the Will Smith slap and then right after, it’ll hopefully be a standard Oscars. Moving forward from this, there’s lots of films nominated for awards that I haven’t seen, such as Tár, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and The Whale, which I plan on watching right before the ceremony so that they’re fresh in my mind and I’m excited to see them.
Wasnt The Lego Movie disqualified from best Animated feature because of the live action parts? Did they get rid of that rule? If not then how did Marcel The Shell with Shoes on get a nom?
Adums hate fot The Fablemans is so strange to me. Like i get why he doesnt like it but its so weird that he HATES it, like what. Its like hes talking about a different movie
In the next few years there will be like 10 movies all about film making or directors and they will all come out between late October to early December
I'm genuinely surprised that John Boyega's lead performance in Breaking didn't get any nominations. I liked him in that a lot compared to his more popular stuff like Star Wars or Pacific Rim Uprising. It's not a great movie in a lot of aspects, but I think it's worth seeing at least once.
As someone who was gonna be ride-or-die for Lightyear no matter what it is nice to see that Disney at least DID a FYC campaign for it, was not expecting that.
Brendan Fraser deserves the Best Actor in a Leading Role Oscar in my opinion. And I'm not even factoring in anything about his comeback to Hollywood, or how great a guy he is. But his performance was one of the best I've ever seen in any film.
Oscar locks: Best Picture - Should win: EEAAO/Will win: Fabelmans Best Director - Should Win: Daniels/Will win: Steven Spielberg Best Actor - Should Win: Brendan Fraser/Will win: Austin Butler Best Actress - Should Win: Michelle Or Cate/ Will Win: Cate Blanchett Best Supporting Actor - Should Win: Ke Huy Quan/ Will Win: Ke Huy Quan Best Supporting Actress - Should Win: Jamie Lee Curtis/Will Win: Angela Bassett I can’t wait to see how terribly this ages 😳
The Fablemans is this year Drive My Car/Nomadland. The Oscar bait film critics love and the twitter nobs; if you follow film twitter you know who they are, like it and feel much superior to anyone who disagrees with them.
I recommend putting a flashing light warning before the clip of everything everywhere. I'm not particularly photosensitive but it immediately hurt my eyes, I can only imagine it being much worse for people who are photosensitive
