The movie wasn't made for younger viewers, though. Younger people, in my experience, like it much less. So I'm not sure this take holds water.
74.6% of Barbie's audience was under 29 years old, it was biggest among Gen Z and young millennial women
Is this something anyone actually wants to get into/unpack? Probably not. But let me know if I'm wrong.
Are you threatening RM?

the globes noms are out and i kinda feel Barbie will win everything at the oscar. But Past Lives can emerge as an actual rival ( women director, foreign cast etc)
well see. Kinda feel Oppenheimer will only win the technical stuff (sound, montage) and Marty will be ignored as usual.

I hope not.
Killers of the Flower Moon has really stayed with me. Honestly one of the best films I've ever seen.

I haven’t seen it yet, but it seems to have done well with a 93 and a 98 on Rotten Tomatoes, 73 on Metascore, 7,4 on imdb, 3,6 on letterboxd (similar to a 7,2 on imdb). Earned back
its budget in a limited cinema run, despite mostly being a draw for streaming on Prime, where it has done really well.

Agreed. It's definitely political.

Oddschecker has Oppenheimer as the likely drama winner, ahead of Killers Of The Flower Moon, with Past Lives a distant third, and the three remaining films on the same long odds.
In comedy/musical, Poor Things is the runaway favourite, ahead of Barbie and The Holdovers. Air with the worst odds of both categories.

Air is a very mediocre movie, just feels like a whole lot of nothing, but "poor lighting?" I thought it looked great, and sure enough it's a Robert Richardson movie. Cinematography and production design are probably the best things about it

Actually, you know what, I don't want to be in a conversation where I am defending anything about Air. It looks like shit and everybody involved in it should die
