Let’s not forget Greenbook... big woof!

It’s absolutely shocking to me the Dune 2 and Nosferstu snubs coming out of these nominations. Surely Nosferstu is a better film than Wicked, right? From a technical, visually and narrative perspective, it’s hands down superior. Maybe it’s not as fun and they don’t get that “young audience appeal” they’re so desperately hoping for.

Great take on this year's Oscars. I've seen Emilia Perez--I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure if I'd give it best picture of the year. I still have 5 out of the 10 Best films to watch, so I have a lot to catch up on. As for No Country for Old Men, I personally disliked the movie. I understand why others like it, but I found it technically flawless, but a bit soulless for me.

I don't understand why everyone is in love with No Country For Old Men. I absolutely hated that film. It was slow, boring and incoherently written. While Crash wasn't a superb film, it was better than No Country. I have not seen most of the films mentioned. And to be honest, they don't sound like my type of films either. Nosferatu is still on my watch list. But I may wait until October to watch it, now that we are working towards Spring.

Spot on about Crash, such a bad movie. I liked it better when they called it Grand Canyon with Kevin Kline and Danny Glover.
