General people don't care, Film Twitter lost its mind, films that should be here got completely ignored. In a normal, idealistic universe where the Oscar nominations were normal and satisfying and what you'd have expected for this season? Not your picks, but ones that would have felt average/satisfying had this season went as expected. MAYBE safe and boring, but satisfying.

Basically trying to avoid controversies, backlash, so arthouse it alienates general public yet not too blockbuster-awards bait to alienate the film community. Have diversity in the acting lineups, women in director, not awarding mixed reviewed films, and give plenty of people first-time nominations that have been long deserved.

I can't do this, basically my whole POV is we shouldn't pander to the middle - the middle is where you get run over - we shouldn't agree - Blackkklansman winning screenplay is going to be like the way I still talk about Get Out winning (check the Us? thread, and that's a year ago.......not over it!).

I mean, diversity is nice and all but not so nice that those two won (or will win) this prize :laugh:

However, playing along - Close is the winner in this case in Actress btw. Most people have been moved by her speeches, admire something in her career, want her to win. I know why we would want Coleman - I could live with either - but most people don't care or know Coleman and don't register her over an American like Close who is playing the surrogate Streep role this year. A whole lot of ageism has been coming Close's way by people who are not 25 yet or something...... :no:

We're doomed if we're going by that rule, it's like a check-list, no. They're already quite dubious in the nominations, this would be the end, and there's no way everyone would be satisfied, I mean, I would never put Black Panther, Eight Grade, Blackklansman, Beale Street and Can You Ever Forgive Me nowhere near a top ten list. If we're going by comics/inclusivity, Spiderverse is right there 10x better than BP, Ready Player One is very much about the now, The Rider for a female directed film, if Pawlikowski was nominated, the next step is to include Cold War.

If the oscars are not as relevant as they use to be, it has to do more with the fact that films are not part of the culture as they're used to be or at least where different sides converge.

It’s basically impossible to satisfy everyone.
