Just a little tidbit I found interesting. With Kirsten Dunst’s nomination, Tobey Maguire is the only main cast member from the original Spider-Man film to have never been nominated for an Oscar. Dunst, Franco, Dafoe, Simmons, Harris and Robertson all have Oscar nominations.

I'm not one of these "MARVEL MOVIES NEED OSCAR NOMS!" folks, but it is still jarring to see the movie that essentially bankrolled movie theaters this year getting one nomination while some flicks that others haven't been crazy about, like Nightmare Alley, get best picture nods. Part of it is that the people on the Awards Committee for the most part are older, and some don't see it as legitimate becuase it was designed to make money. (As if that wasn't what Hollywood was literally founded on) The Ceremony used to mock the Awards Committee about it before... when one of the Films (maybe the original Avengers film) they mentioned like one of the highest critically rated movies of the year, made tons of money, the audiences loved it... which is why it's up for 2 technical awards... That and I'm sure The Awards people probably think throwing Dune a Best Picture nomination as a bone enough for the nerds.

Don’t forget, he also won best kiss at the MTV awards one year. A fact the trailer for Satan’s Alley reminded us of.

I would've thought Ghostbusters Afterlife got nominated for the Spielberg type direction?

Of the 10 nominees I've only seen Dune
I love best picture nominee sort of movies, just never seem to find the time.

The last couple of Best Picture winners that really blew me away were Spotlight and Moonlight.
Shape of Water was fine. Green Book was boring and kinda preachy, sweet enough but Black Panther even if it’s not the best MCU movie ever (not bad at all, but I like GOTG and Cap 2 a bit more) it was still more fun and thrilling. Parasite was alright, and I still need to watch Nomadland.

I watched Spencer last night and Kristen Stewart was... good. She didn't do a poor job by any means, but I don't understand why she got, like, a 14 hr standing ovation at its premiere.

I was so disappointed when I found out The Power of the Dog had nothing to do with dogs.

At least it was evidence that the results aren't pre-determined and already known by the Academy and the show's production and directorial staff. Because there's no way they would've saved that for last if they knew Anthony Hopkins was the winner ahead of time.

I don’t know if it passed Inside Man or Malcolm X for my favorite Spike Lee film but John David Washington crushed it.

I was happy when The Shape of Water won. It and Parasite are the only recent occasions where the film I wanted to win, won.

I was the same way when Birdman swept the Oscars. I don't really see many of the Best Picture nominees, since a lot of them are either movies I'm not normally into or movies I've honestly never even heard of. But I saw Birdman twice in theaters and loved it, and was stoked to see it win so many awards.

I am miffed Tick Tick Boom didn't get more nominations. I thought it would get Lin-Manuel a director nomination, but the trend with the Academy is the odds being against directorial debuts, but Encanto will likely complete his EGOT.
In the history of the category, roughly, give or take any I overlooked, 25 directorial debut feature directors have been nominated, (not the same as first-time career nominations), and only 6 directors have ever won for their first directorial feature ever,
and of those 6, the second was Jerome Robbins in 1961, and that film was West Side Story, which also won Best Picture, and Best Supporting Actress for Rita Moreno as Anita, as well as Sound, Production Design, Costume Design and Cinematography.
This year, West Side Story has the opportunity to do something unprecedented, be the first film with a second adaptation to win the same 7 awards it did 60 years ago. Every category it won in 1961, save for Best Supporting Actor and Film Editing, this adaptation is nominated in the same categories. It isn't nominated in Best Supporting Actor or Film Editing this time around,
but Tick Tick Boom is nominated for Film Editing, which I'm not sure it will win, and before the nominees were announced, I thought Andrew Garfield was a shoe-in, but now, the momentum is behind Benedict Cumberbatch. I still believe Garfield will win though.
I wish Tick Tick Boom had been nominated for more (because even though, it technically had an original score, not a single note was changed, so that Miranda could honor Larson by giving him that Academy credit, while at the same time, its prior usage in the theater production renders it ineligible), I thought it was a shoe-in for nominations in Sound, Cinematography, and Production Design, and yet, I'm sad, because the theater kid I was is shedding a tear of seeing how a vicarious battle of my two favorite Broadway lyricists, (Larson and Stephen Sondheim) would play out.
