I had no idea the Academy nominations came out this morning. I knew they had to be close but I typically keep up with that a little better. This awards season has underwhelmed me.

Me too. A mediocre year (and I liked this year in movies WAY more than most) and a largely uninspired and unsurprising list of nominations everywhere. I'll still watch the ceremony but I'm probably less enthusiastic than in years prior.

As always, I will enjoy the pageantry and roll my eyes at the rampant stupidity.

I think it must be because I studied it for so long and really thought I would end up in that world eventually... but I just love these dumbass award shows. I love the hell out of them. Even when they're cheesy and stupid I find myself moved. I usually get teary at least a few times during.

Sorry, Joey. I got a little unjustifiably worked up. I still think you’re wrong, but I realize I’m the one who made it all confrontational and stupid.

No worries, man. I appreciate it. We're good. I could have worked harder to clarify and deescalate the thing, too.

Yesterday appears to have been a rough day for everyone.

Might i suggest that both things may be true? That there might have been a bone tossed towards black panther as well as it changing and inspiring millions of lives and it be worthy of consideration?

Weird concept, I know.....

A Star is Born was awful.

Black Klansman for the win

BK was mainly boring which is a shame because of all the talent involved.

I also am somewhat skeptical of its nomination as well. Its the ending credits that really drives the point home though feels like a cheap trick. maybe. Im still pondering that.

I, of course, was bawling and sickened and super moved by the film though...

Agree. The best part was that montage at the end.
