In this case, I think the nomination will be her reward. The fact that her parents are famous will end up not mattering much. It's always been Bassett vs. Condon, and I don't think things will change now. Bassett, in particular, is very respected within the industry (as much as, or even more than Curtis), and I suspect they won't miss this opportunity to award her. Besides, she was legit Robbed. Go Angela. I like Hunter's performance, it's a win I can live with, but Bassett would have been my personal choice for the year. She was incredible as Tina Turner.

Also, maybe someone can correct me, but is this the first year that two films have earned four acting nominations apiece (including one film claiming two slots in the Supporting categories)? Turns out it's happened a few times before. In 1950 and 1976 one of the two even earned 5 acting nominations (All About Eve and Network). www.imdb.com/poll/5J9ApK9IP-o/

• This has been perhaps the most dominant showing for Ireland at the Academy Awards in history. Colin Farrell, Paul Mescal, Kerry Condon, Brendan Gleeson and Barry Keoghan all are nominated for acting, and An Irish Goodbye was nominated in Live Action Short Film. Additionally, Ireland sees its first nomination for International Feature with The Quiet Girl. (NOTE: Martin McDonagh is not Irish-born, despite his parents being Irish emigrants.). Interestingly, this comes off the heels of 2021 being a very healthy showing for Ireland at the Oscars, with the Belfast gang, Jessie Buckley and Wolfwalkers all getting nominated. (If Caitriona Balfe and Ruth Negga had been nominated as they should’ve been, this would’ve been a lot closer.) I believe this is also the the largest representation of actors of one single nationality nominated at the Oscars in a single year apart from the US and the UK. The closest to this record were in 2012 (85th Academy Awards) where 3 Australians were nominated (Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackman, and Jacki Weaver), in 2010 (83rd Academy Awards) where, again, 3 Australians were nominated (Nicole Kidman, Geoffrey Rush, and Jacki Weaver), and in 1998 (71st Academy Awards), where, yet again, 3 Australians were nominated (Cate Blanchett, Geoffrey Rush, and Rachel Griffiths).

Oh here's a good one: for the first time ever, all 5 Director nominees are also nominated for screenplay of their own films.

I believe this was the first time since 1934 that all lead actor nominees were first time nominees.

Might Blonde be the first NC-17 film to get an Oscar nomination?

I think Spielberg might've joined William Wyler as a director with most BP-nominated films. Both have 13.

We need more representation. Can’t wait for us to dominate like we do the music industry.

A few posted on AW that I thought were worth sharing: - At five years, Meryl Streep has officially entered the longest nomination-free stretch of her career since her first nomination 44 years ago. - This is the fourth year in a row that a director of Asian origin (Daniel Kwan) gets a Best Director nom, after Bong, Zhao/Chung and Hamaguchi. - Iñárritu increases to seven his streak of having every single feature he's ever directed Oscar nominated. - The animated short Ice Merchants is the first Portuguese film ever nominated for an Oscar. - de Armas and Yeoh join Halle Berry and Rosamund Pike as Oscar-nominated Bond girls. Also this:

These are good. I'm really glad that we're in the doldrums as far as Streep nominations go. For all the talk of Ana de Armas, Michelle Williams or Andrea Riseborough "stealing spots", Meryl has always been the biggest offender. Lazy namechecking. I actually wonder whether the Academy expansion in the last few years has something to do with it. Really cool stat about the Asian directors. Now if Park can actually get on making The Brigands of Rattlecreek already, dammit! I was so scared about Bardo blanking but I had Khondji in my predictions and he came through. Iñárritu can't miss! So happy for Portugal. Now when can we get Monica Bellucci an Oscar nomination, dammit?

If she gets one I feel like she would very much be in the conversation again.

Oh, for sure (although she's always going to be in potential awards consideration regardless of what she did; people were thinking she could get nominated for The Prom and The Laundromat before those movies were seen, for instance). But she's been nominated for things that got mostly blanked elsewhere, and she's never needed critics behind her to get those nods.

- The animated short Ice Merchants is the first Portuguese film ever nominated for an Oscar. However it is not the first Portuguese film ever nominated for a Joaquim Award™️ (Os Lobos, 1923) and those are the only ones that matter. Viva Portugal

Bit of a stretch, and he wasn’t nominated for the role himself, but Barry Keoghan is now the fifth Oscar nominee/winner to play the Joker onscreen.
