Robert De Niro in fact broke an Oscar record previously held by Katharine Hepburn for longest time span between first and last acting nominations. Hepburn’s first nomination came in 1933 and her final in 1981 for a span of 48 years. De Niro on the other hand received his first nomination in 1974 and his most recent for 2023 for a span of 49 years. Jodie Foster is very close behind, tied for third longest overall (47 years (1976-2023), tied with Al Pacino (1972-2019) and only behind De Niro and Hepburn).
@@Screen_Prism Yes... but he was nominated for the FIRST time in 1974... that's the point of this post. When someone received their FIRST nomination and their most RECENT nomination... do ya follow... ?
Look, I loved The Boy and the Heron, but I found it to be one of Joe Hisaishi’s weaker scores. At many points it was so minimal and tonally simplistic that I didn’t even recognize it was him.
I hope Jack Quaid and Zazie Beetz come back to do the Oscar’s next year. They had good energy and they got the nominations done quickly. I really liked them.
I know it was a longshot but the snub of Milo Machado Graner all award season really hurt, especially since the Oscars seemed to love Anatomy of a Fall as a whole. The Lee and Melton misses were also painful but on the brightside i really love that director category
Across the Spider-Verse being left off of Original Score is a travesty to me and represents the idea that the Academy still doesn't take animated or superhero films as seriously as it should. That issue is getting *better* as time goes, but it's still not great.
Unfortunately, it's been getting a lot worse, not better. There was a period from 2001-2010 where almost every acclaimed animated film was nominated for screenplay (Shrek, Ratatouille, Finding Nemo, Up, Wall-E, Toy Story 3, The Incredibles) and two were nominated for Best Picture (Up and Toy Story 3). Since 2010, only one animated film has been nominated for screenplay (Inside Out) and none have come even close to a Best Picture nomination.

As a massive Godzilla fan, I'm going to sound a bit biased, but Godzilla Minus One was genuinely one of the best films of the year. Only nominating it for Visual Effects is a crime against humanity. I think it deserved a bunch of other nominations for sound, screenplay, score, production design, director, and yes best picture. Its the least they can do for snubbing Godzilla 2014's best sound nominations and Godzilla VS Kong's best visual effects nomination. I feel the academy won't give him more nominations because they only see Godzilla as "cult" cinema character. If they did nominate him for anything else then they might fear that the audience doesn't think that the academy is taking this seriously.
Love your reaction and I 100% agree with you with a lot of what you are saying lol. Especially about Barbie lol.

Oh, din't be such a snub. Barbie is a fine comedy, a very finesse one. Oppenheimer is a medorcre wardrama with uts curious main character: an atomic bomb.

Greta and Margot were not "snubs" in my opinion. Specially in the directing category. I would understand if they nominated Greta though (since she was the first female director to achieve 1 billion in box office), but in my opinion there were much better movies that deserved the nominations and all the directors nominated are 100% deserving. In my opinion Alexander Payne and Celine Song would be the 6th and 7th options, Greta would only come after. In terms of lead actress in my opinion its a similar case. Margot Robbie was very good, but not deserving of a nomination. She was much better in Babylon for example with a much deeper and complex role. Greta Lee, Fantasia Barrino and Natalie Portman were all more deserving than Margot Robbie to be honest, so I wish people could stop making a drama about Margot and Greta being "snubbed". They were not snubbed. they just didn't have a chance to get a nomination this year.
Your F-bomb censor. Just... It had me in stitches. I do want to try and watch Past Lives before the ceremony, Poor Things is coming to my local, seeing it next week. I finished a Yorgos Lanthimos catch-up... Soooo much "What did I just watch?"
KOTFM being snubbed is a real insult. The way the script carefully cherry picks threads from the David Gran book and seeds them carefully throughout the film is amazing. The story remains compelling despite omitting most of the Tom White and FBI storylines. Ugh....I would have sacrificed Barbie for KOTFM
The best thing we could say is at least Oppenheimer got the recognition it deserved in all of the major categories including most of all a nomination for Christopher Nolan as Best Director. Still reeling from last year with what I believe to be one of the worst, if not the worst Oscar snub job of all time with Babylon. How is it possible that such a masterful, epic movie like Babylon could have been so rejected by the Academy? Damien Chazelle, one of the finest directors of our time, Margot Robbie, Diego Calva, Brad Pitt, etc. So many great performances in that movie. Anyway, thank you for your expertise as always Mariana. Always love watching your videos. 😃
From my perspective, if you nominate "Barbie" - you go cannot snub the star and the director. So yea, I think it got odd nominations, and Ken over Barbie is ironic...
@@ImpressionBlend Ryan Gosling was the best part of that movie. anytime he was on screen it was his. I really liked the movie, but cant say that Margot or Greta were snubs. A snub is when they could have won, and neither were winning it this year, not even close.
@@BrettWB no, a snub is simply not nominating the best performances of the year. It doesn’t matter if they would win or not. If not Robbie, Greta Lee should have been in there. People seem to overlook subtlety in Margot’s acting in a very loud movie imo.
@@mhawang8204 We're going to agree to disagree on this. Margot gave a good performance, hardly outstanding though. I'd agree with you on Greta Lee over say Benning. For me, a snub would be Alexander Payne. The director is responsible for the performances and when two out of three of your leads get nominated, you should be as well.
When “The Boy and the Heron” didn’t get nominated for Best Original Song, Best Soundtrack, or Best Directing, it was finally set in stone that the Academy has no respect for animated films.
Disappointed there was not any Love for The Iron Claw. That was my favorite film from this year. Glad there was a ton support for Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Oppenheimer though.
I Love You Constantly Smile throughout this Entire Video, Even You Get Upset, like Nyad being In. The Only thing me is, (although I do Respect Your Opinion that you're not Big on Animated Films), but this is the 2nd Year in a Row that NO Animated Films Got Any Additional Nominations, Outside of their Own Category, which idk if this discrimination act going into the Branches of the Academy, if del Toro's Pinocchio didn't any additional, Spider-Verse, Boy and the Heron & Elemental didn't get any additional either based on the Shortlist.
I do agree it's weird that animated films are kept in one category. Personally, I was hoping for an Original Score nomination for "The Boy and the Heron"
Premiations are political, especially the Oscars. Ferrera got nominated cus of that speech at the end of the movie and lobby from Warner/Mattel. I enjoyed barbie, I thought it was great, fun and witty, but no Oscar material.
The movie got awful reviews from the getgo and Mirren got bad reviews plus the way things are happening in the world - I don't think people would want to see that movie up for any award (even though it got make up) but hey Mirren did get a razzie nom so that's something she can celebrate.
@@Starkardur 1. That movie is about Golda Meir's leadership during a pivotal time in history. Israel was attacked by several countries on Yom Kippur, almost lost, but was able to turn it around. It strengthened the US/Israel relationship, and prompted Arab neighbors to shift gears in order to deal with Israel's emerging qualitative military superiority. Some chose a path of cooperation, such as Egypt and Jordan, and others not so much (Iran). 2. "People" such as yourself may not want to see "that movie up for any award," perhaps because of political position, but people in general could learn from this to better understand the evolving power dynamics in the Middle East. People who see it also get insight into an important political leader. 3. That said, it was NOT particularly a great film, as the scope was somewhat limited, and the production techniques were riddled with short cuts (eg, showing the faces of leaders during warfare, instead of the actual footage, presumably to keep the budget at a minimum). Accordingly, meta scores have hovered around the 50 (mid) range. Next time you are interested in writing about films you haven't seen, just because of political predisposition, hatred or whatever reason, think first. Further negative comments toward myself, Jewish leaders or the Jewish state of Israel will be reported.
I’m shocked with Annette Benning getting in for Best Actress. I would’ve switched with Margot Robbie, Fantasia Burrino, or Greta Lee. America Ferrera’s nomination was a shock. I would’ve switched with someone in Saltburn like Rosemond Pike. And finally…I would’ve loved to of seen Zac Efron for “The Iron Claw”, but I’m not complaining with the best actor lineup.
Not even performances are Oscar worthy imo. It was absolutely justified that other incredible performances got in instead of Margot. I'm ok with Ferrera getting in but Ryan Gosling? Come on...
I wish Greta Lee got nominated for best actress for Past Lives, I feel like she was one of the best performances a lot of people arent talking about enough.
12:42 India did the same thing with RRR. The goal is to get one movie nominated for Best Picture, and a second for Best International Picture. This is done if it's felt one film is a "lock," for a Best Picture nomination.
For The Zone of Interest to win instead of Society of The Snow broke my heart so much. Society of The Snow deserves at least one Oscar since it stayed true to its word and authenticity for survival.
Thanks Marianna. People are loudly squawking about Margot Robbie's absence from the best actress category. But what they don't realize is that very few comic roles are ever nominated. It's just a prejudice people have, akin to horror acting. (Toni we are still so sorry.) And keep in mind that the Academy members often skewer older as a demographic and Annette Bening has five Academy award nominations and no Oscar yet. Thus, many members want to give her something. But I would have rather seen Margot get nominated, especially since last year's Babylon was completely dumped on. (Curiously if you run over to Margot's Wikipedia page right now it lists her as being nominated for Barbie with a blank, like someone was ready to fill in the win.) Marianna I always love your awards videos. Shallow yes. But oddly important. And you are an enjoyable person to have sitting next to us and giving the commentary.
The Toni Colette snub for me is still the biggest stake in the heart in recent years. That dinner scene, I go back there so many times, only that scene alone. But yeah, horror, forget it. All about the drama.
Happy for Poor Things, Nimona, Past Lives, El Conde and Godzilla Minus One but agree about Still: A Michael J Fox Movie missing out which is such a great documentary. I am missing 36 of the 120 nominations spots so got some work to do before the award ceremony. I did like Nyad but Robbie should have been in that mix somewhere. Overall a good selection of films.
Working down the list thanks mostly to youtube with The Barber of Little Rock, Island In Between & Bob Wine: The People’s President. Also caught Napoleon which wasn't bad. Starting To Kill A Tiger as I write this. 20 more films to go.
Ok am gonna help you out here, cause i understand there are things that arent PC for a creator. Specifically, America Ferrera’s performance was the worst second only to Ferrell’s. That cringe Barbie monologue of hers still gives me chills, not the good kind.
America Ferrera's momologue speech towards the end of Barbie is what got her the nomination. I had a feeling when I saw the movie last Summer that the scene in which she makes that speech was going to lead to her getting an Oscar nomination and I was right.
@@ImpressionBlend I think a screenplay should stand on its own; that it was adapted means it's not an original idea, rather, based on existing source material. Killers of the Flower Moon almost completely eschewed the significant FBI story part of its source material, after all, yet absolutely deserved a nod in this category. Which source material was Barbie taken from? The fact that the characters of Barbie and Ken already existed?
Good reaction video. Let's face it, the Oscar's have become irrelevant. Their reasoning and criteria for nominating in all sorts of categories has become more of a political/social statement than actual talent. You make me laugh about the Margot Robbie snub. Should John Goodman have felt snubbed by not being nominated for the Flinstones? Be well, stay safe.
Makeup in Oppenheimer was amazing, Gary Oldman's makeup for president Harry S. Truman, the old versions of the characters, the makeup for Tom Conti's Einstein, the makeup for Robert Downey Jr's Lewis Strauss, come on. The Original Score by Ludwig Göransson even, a masterpiece, can't complain about that.
The original score nominations were insane. I understand the Indy nom cause that's for John Williams setting a record but American Fiction? There are a lot of good things about that movie but original score ain't one of them. Spiderman Across the Spiderverse should've been nominated over those 2 films.😒
Huh. Did Netflix flush the campaign with loads of money? I’m surprised at Killers of the Flower Moon not being nominated in screenplay, bummed about Spider-Verse not getting a best score nomination, and neither Andrew Scott nor Greta Lee getting any love, though it’s not surprising, either. Yep, it’s not the worst year, just a few very strange choices. France’s submissions are always weird, like not submitting Portrait of a Lady on Fire… Maybe they knew Anatomy of a Fall would get into Best Picture.
This year was one of the best year for movies in a long while. Everyone knew ahead of time there were going to be several snubs. Because especially in acting and directing categories there could have easily been ten nominees per category. That being said Best Supporting Actress was a mess! A couple of gals were nominated there for mediocre performances over some incredile ones.
It's absurd how a silly movie like Barbie can get a best picture nomination but it's like a rare miracle if a thriller/horror or mature sci-fi gets any nomination.
Adapted Screenplay should probably be called Derivative Screenplay. Barbie is there with an original material, but given that it is based on a toy they put it as “adapted” and Zone of Interest apparently they just took the theme and also made an original script.
You do notice that year after year the academy strays away or completely ignores comic performances in the acting categories. They'll always end up with the deep dramatic performances instead. Check out the history. Always very rare for comic performances.
I think society of the snow surpasse the other movies. zone of interest is amazing and a masterpiece but society of the snow really makes you feel what they went through on the mountain, the music is truly incredible, the acting, taking into account that most of the actors had never set foot on stage, is extremely good. On top of that it is based on real events and J.A. Bayona has managed to make this film not simply a movie, but a feeling. The survivors have confirmed that this is the most realistic film about this case that they have ever made. He has managed to make the passed away people also an important part for the public, because for the survivors they were everything. This film has managed to reach the hearts of many people and has made the case get the recognition it deserved. And not only the survivors, also the passed away. And the cinematography is incredible, part of the film was shot at the actual site of the accident, in el Valle de las Lágrimas. The actors committed themselves to their characters in an incredible way, and lost up to 30 kg. They had to train for months and diet. The casting is also incredible, the resemblance of the actors to the survivors is extreme. The makeup was also very difficult and realistic, since they tried to make it as close to the real thing as possible. I really think he deserves this Oscar.This is a masterpiece.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Personally, I saw it very early, and it didn't work for me at all (seeing it the same day as "Poor Things" didn't help because that one was brilliant) - i appreciated the message, but not the execution.
I feel that joe Hisaishi was snubbed in the score category. Also I dont really know how to feel about Elemental being nominated and both Suzume and tmnt not. Though I am happy its Elemental and not Wish... IMO Godzilla minus one deserved a few more nominations than just the VFX, but sadly due to how the academy has treated films in the past I am not surprised.
The Zone of Interest should [but probably won't] win every Oscar it is nominated for [5 categories]. It's a much more accomplished film than any of its 2024 competition; but we all know big budget films tend to be favoured by those who vote.😢
My thoughts on Oscars 2024 is very similar to yours. - Oppenheimer is one of my favourite films of all time. I think it deserves every single 13 nominations. I hope it wins them too! -If Oppenheimer does lose any I would be ok with Barbie/Poor Things getting production design & costumes. Zone getting sound. Maestro is winning makeup. - Amazing for Justine Triet making Best Director. Totally deserved! - I liked Nyad. I think Annette Bening & Jodie Foster got nominated because they are legends not for their specific performances. I would have gone with Greta Lee & Claire Foy. - Although I personally want Cillian Murphy to win… Andrew Scott missing in Lead Actor will forever be one of the Academy’s worst decisions. He is exquisite in All Of Us Strangers. The film should have gotten way more love & recognition. - I enjoyed Barbie. I think people are forgetting it’s been winning a lot this awards season at GG & CC. Glad it got 8 Oscar noms. At first I was shocked by Margot & Greta missing out but it’s a very stacked year. I think they got in the right categories. Greta for screenplay & Margot for producing it. A huge achievement the film got made because of these two powerful women!!! And that’s because of the writing & producing it. 👏 - Agree The Zone of Interest should have got score. And Killers should have been in adapted screenplay. So many first time nominees & certain people making history with their nominations. Well done to all 👏
Hello, Marianna! Greta's work on Barbie is fine, she has couple stand outs in the movie, but I just can't understand people's desire for her nomination. VFX in MI 7 are the weakest link. Nomination for the sake of nomination. I would like to see more love for the Spider-verse. Yes, it's more deserving to be in vfx category than MI
Robert De Niro in fact broke an Oscar record previously held by Katharine Hepburn for longest time span between first and last acting nominations. Hepburn’s first nomination came in 1933 and her final in 1981 for a span of 48 years. De Niro on the other hand received his first nomination in 1974 and his most recent for 2023 for a span of 49 years.
Jodie Foster is very close behind, tied for third longest overall (47 years (1976-2023), tied with Al Pacino (1972-2019) and only behind De Niro and Hepburn).
He was nominated in 2013 for Silver Linings Playbook.

@@BrettWBin what world is Ryan the best part of Barbie? Lol you're certainly a man
When “The Boy and the Heron” didn’t get nominated for Best Original Song, Best Soundtrack, or Best Directing, it was finally set in stone that the Academy has no respect for animated films.
Sadly, not surprised. But I was still hoping against all odds for a Best Original Score nomination.
Disappointed there was not any Love for The Iron Claw. That was my favorite film from this year. Glad there was a ton support for Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Oppenheimer though.
If more people saw it, I'm sure there would be more love, but A24 released it way too late. And they didn't promote it at all.
Award season was already underway when it was released. It was bad timing, unfortunately.
I Love You Constantly Smile throughout this Entire Video, Even You Get Upset, like Nyad being In.
The Only thing me is, (although I do Respect Your Opinion that you're not Big on Animated Films), but this is the 2nd Year in a Row that NO Animated Films Got Any Additional Nominations, Outside of their Own Category, which idk if this discrimination act going into the Branches of the Academy, if del Toro's Pinocchio didn't any additional, Spider-Verse, Boy and the Heron & Elemental didn't get any additional either based on the Shortlist.
I do agree it's weird that animated films are kept in one category. Personally, I was hoping for an Original Score nomination for "The Boy and the Heron"
Just to piss you off, Nyad should have been nominated over The Boy and the Heron in the Best Animated Feature :D
I was rooting for a best actor nomination for Zac Effron in The Iron Claw. I also think Susume should have been nominated for best animated feature.
Hilarious part about the Nyad noms - it's probably the first time gay roles are voted by the more older members of the Academy
Premiations are political, especially the Oscars. Ferrera got nominated cus of that speech at the end of the movie and lobby from Warner/Mattel. I enjoyed barbie, I thought it was great, fun and witty, but no Oscar material.
I checked out Golda, and thought Helen Mirren was really good. The makeup and hairstylists transformed her into Golda Meir.
The movie got awful reviews from the getgo and Mirren got bad reviews plus the way things are happening in the world - I don't think people would want to see that movie up for any award (even though it got make up) but hey Mirren did get a razzie nom so that's something she can celebrate.
@@Starkardur 1. That movie is about Golda Meir's leadership during a pivotal time in history. Israel was attacked by several countries on Yom Kippur, almost lost, but was able to turn it around. It strengthened the US/Israel relationship, and prompted Arab neighbors to shift gears in order to deal with Israel's emerging qualitative military superiority. Some chose a path of cooperation, such as Egypt and Jordan, and others not so much (Iran).
2. "People" such as yourself may not want to see "that movie up for any award," perhaps because of political position, but people in general could learn from this to better understand the evolving power dynamics in the Middle East. People who see it also get insight into an important political leader.
3. That said, it was NOT particularly a great film, as the scope was somewhat limited, and the production techniques were riddled with short cuts (eg, showing the faces of leaders during warfare, instead of the actual footage, presumably to keep the budget at a minimum). Accordingly, meta scores have hovered around the 50 (mid) range.
Next time you are interested in writing about films you haven't seen, just because of political predisposition, hatred or whatever reason, think first. Further negative comments toward myself, Jewish leaders or the Jewish state of Israel will be reported.
Did you pat yourself on the back when you wrote this?@@reeldeal3227

Why?@@danreeves7753
I’m shocked with Annette Benning getting in for Best Actress. I would’ve switched with Margot Robbie, Fantasia Burrino, or Greta Lee.
America Ferrera’s nomination was a shock. I would’ve switched with someone in Saltburn like Rosemond Pike.
And finally…I would’ve loved to of seen Zac Efron for “The Iron Claw”, but I’m not complaining with the best actor lineup.
god rosamund Pike, she was really amazing
Barbie is NOT an Oscar worthy film. This is a total embarrassment.
Yes!
Thank you!!!
I mean I think it deserves it for costume and production design but not screenplay or best picture.
Clown
Not even performances are Oscar worthy imo. It was absolutely justified that other incredible performances got in instead of Margot. I'm ok with Ferrera getting in but Ryan Gosling? Come on...
Nolan sweep is gonna happen and I'm here for it
Yessss! Same
I wish Greta Lee got nominated for best actress for Past Lives, I feel like she was one of the best performances a lot of people arent talking about enough.
The fact that Barbie got nominated for ANYTHING is LAUGHABLE!!
The supporting actress category was such a hot mess
LOL! I had that same reaction when Golda pop'd up. I was like, what the hell!?
Seriously, what is that movie even?
@@ImpressionBlend I never heard of it either. It just came out of nowhere.
Happy for Oppenheimer!! So deserving
It was a very enjoyable video! Felt like a friend chatting with us on the next couch. Nominations are not the worst as you said😊
12:42 India did the same thing with RRR. The goal is to get one movie nominated for Best Picture, and a second for Best International Picture.
This is done if it's felt one film is a "lock," for a Best Picture nomination.
For The Zone of Interest to win instead of Society of The Snow broke my heart so much. Society of The Snow deserves at least one Oscar since it stayed true to its word and authenticity for survival.
It's fairly obvious that America Ferrerra was only nominated so that they could fulfill a quota.
They completely snubbed Spiderman Across the Spiderverse from score, sound, and visual effects. I would've also loved to see TMNT in animated feature,
No nominations for The Iron Claw and no nomination for Vanessa Kirby in Napoleon. No…the Academy is **not** okay.
Thanks Marianna. People are loudly squawking about Margot Robbie's absence from the best actress category. But what they don't realize is that very few comic roles are ever nominated. It's just a prejudice people have, akin to horror acting. (Toni we are still so sorry.) And keep in mind that the Academy members often skewer older as a demographic and Annette Bening has five Academy award nominations and no Oscar yet. Thus, many members want to give her something. But I would have rather seen Margot get nominated, especially since last year's Babylon was completely dumped on.
(Curiously if you run over to Margot's Wikipedia page right now it lists her as being nominated for Barbie with a blank, like someone was ready to fill in the win.)
Marianna I always love your awards videos. Shallow yes. But oddly important. And you are an enjoyable person to have sitting next to us and giving the commentary.
robbie is nominated as producer so that might be what the wikipedia thing is about
I hate the Annette Bening argument because she's literally nor going to win this year either. She's the least likely to win out of that entire lineup
The Toni Colette snub for me is still the biggest stake in the heart in recent years. That dinner scene, I go back there so many times, only that scene alone. But yeah, horror, forget it. All about the drama.
Agreed with you 100% across the board. And I also don't get the love for Barbie. Bummed that All of Us Strangers got nothing.
It’s all overrated hype … just like EEAO
I thought I was the only one who ate my hat when Killers got snubbed for adapted screenplay
that snub was absurd
What about DiCaprio for best actor? Apparently I'm the only one upset about that
Happy for Poor Things, Nimona, Past Lives, El Conde and Godzilla Minus One but agree about Still: A Michael J Fox Movie missing out which is such a great documentary. I am missing 36 of the 120 nominations spots so got some work to do before the award ceremony. I did like Nyad but Robbie should have been in that mix somewhere. Overall a good selection of films.
Working down the list thanks mostly to youtube with The Barber of Little Rock, Island In Between & Bob Wine: The People’s President. Also caught Napoleon which wasn't bad. Starting To Kill A Tiger as I write this. 20 more films to go.
10:15 the music I was happy nomincated Oppenheimer and Poor Things gets nominated, but NO Spiderman 2?!?!?!?
Did Netflix not send you a Nyad water bottle? They sent me a fancy water bottle....so Nyad should get all the nominations! 🤣🤣🤣
They did.... but "Oppenheimer" sent the screenplay and a 4K blu-ray, so it all makes sense now)))
Ok am gonna help you out here, cause i understand there are things that arent PC for a creator. Specifically, America Ferrera’s performance was the worst second only to Ferrell’s. That cringe Barbie monologue of hers still gives me chills, not the good kind.
Let's be honest, some of the nods are included here only because of their reputation and seniority across Hollywood. Legacy picks at its finest.
America Ferrera's momologue speech towards the end of Barbie is what got her the nomination. I had a feeling when I saw the movie last Summer that the scene in which she makes that speech was going to lead to her getting an Oscar nomination and I was right.
I didn’t think it was that great.
No idea why. That scene just halted the movie and was just a boring speech when it could have been done more creatively.
oppenheimer is definitely sweeping. im most excited to see Ludwig win for best score. that score is all-time great and it deserves EVERYTHING it gets.
I'm so here for the Oppenheimer sweep!
I was a sound engineer and I worked in production and I hate to critics who know how to do nothing.
Adapted Screenplay isn’t an award for most faithful adaptation of source material.
But I missed Killers in this category too.
Didn't say it needed to be the most faithful, but you can't take the source material out the equation when considering what the screenplay achieves.
@@ImpressionBlend I think a screenplay should stand on its own; that it was adapted means it's not an original idea, rather, based on existing source material. Killers of the Flower Moon almost completely eschewed the significant FBI story part of its source material, after all, yet absolutely deserved a nod in this category. Which source material was Barbie taken from? The fact that the characters of Barbie and Ken already existed?
@@gmiac7721 Yes, existing characters count as adapted for Oscars
Good reaction video. Let's face it, the Oscar's have become irrelevant. Their reasoning and criteria for nominating in all sorts of categories has become more of a political/social statement than actual talent. You make me laugh about the Margot Robbie snub. Should John Goodman have felt snubbed by not being nominated for the Flinstones? Be well, stay safe.
This was a lot of fun to watch! Your reactions to Nyad and May December were very funny.
Spider-Man snubbed for best original score
Makeup in Oppenheimer was amazing, Gary Oldman's makeup for president Harry S. Truman, the old versions of the characters, the makeup for Tom Conti's Einstein, the makeup for Robert Downey Jr's Lewis Strauss, come on. The Original Score by Ludwig Göransson even, a masterpiece, can't complain about that.
Sandra Huller 👏👏👏
France didn't send Anatomy because Triet criticized Macron and his anti-poor policies. What a wonderful democracy we live in.
The original score nominations were insane. I understand the Indy nom cause that's for John Williams setting a record but American Fiction? There are a lot of good things about that movie but original score ain't one of them. Spiderman Across the Spiderverse should've been nominated over those 2 films.😒
I understand that John Williams is a legend but I don't think this should be an automatic nomination. Original Score was a crazy category.
Girl hates getting Oppenheimer getting nominated 😂
I just had a dream there was an episode of The Critic where Jay worked at a restraunt and was trying to give a slice of pie to all the Oscar winners.
Huh. Did Netflix flush the campaign with loads of money? I’m surprised at Killers of the Flower Moon not being nominated in screenplay, bummed about Spider-Verse not getting a best score nomination, and neither Andrew Scott nor Greta Lee getting any love, though it’s not surprising, either.
Yep, it’s not the worst year, just a few very strange choices.
France’s submissions are always weird, like not submitting Portrait of a Lady on Fire… Maybe they knew Anatomy of a Fall would get into Best Picture.
The Oscar nominations are a result of “for your consideration” campaigns.
I hope Past Lives gets best picture but I know it’s probably going to Oppenheimer which it also deserves
This year was one of the best year for movies in a long while. Everyone knew ahead of time there were going to be several snubs. Because especially in acting and directing categories there could have easily been ten nominees per category. That being said Best Supporting Actress was a mess! A couple of gals were nominated there for mediocre performances over some incredile ones.
Oscar nominations for Barbie? What's next? Ironman, Marvel movies, cartoons? Good heavens the world is mad!!!
It's absurd how a silly movie like Barbie can get a best picture nomination but it's like a rare miracle if a thriller/horror or mature sci-fi gets any nomination.
Adapted Screenplay should probably be called Derivative Screenplay. Barbie is there with an original material, but given that it is based on a toy they put it as “adapted” and Zone of Interest apparently they just took the theme and also made an original script.
One of the best videos about these nominations I have seen since they were announced. I love the fact you seem genuine
You do notice that year after year the academy strays away or completely ignores comic performances in the acting categories. They'll always end up with the deep dramatic performances instead. Check out the history. Always very rare for comic performances.
Paul Giammati & Jeffrey Wright were just nominated for comedies and Giamatti has a real chance of winning.
@@RA-hx9uc but those roles were not true, comic performances, like the ones in Barbie.
I think they gave America the nomination for BARBIE because of the Monologue, which was a great part of the movie.
I gave that movie a 7/10 as well.
I and it at 8/10 before she showed up. Dropped to a 6
It wasn't great. It was heavy handed and whiny.
1:37 moment of realization, the internet is going to have a cow lol
A crime that society of the snow only got 2, and nothing for soundtrack
5:46 Haha! Great reaction. Unfortunately I read all nominees for original screenplay each year, so I have to read May December.
PLZ DO A PREDICTIONS/ MY PICKS VIDEO!!! Missed one for last year’s Oscars. Slayyyyy queen! 🖤✨💕
Can they please stop nominated John Williams for sequel movie scores. It’s so annoying.
Same for Diane Warren for Best Original Song
Spider-Verse, Society of the Snow, The Boy and the Heron have a wonderful and superior score than Indiana Jones. Have not seen Zone of Interest yet.
Well, so much for rushing to see "Nyad" now.
I 100% don't care about the Oscars anymore.
I think society of the snow surpasse the other movies. zone of interest is amazing and a masterpiece but society of the snow really makes you feel what they went through on the mountain, the music is truly incredible, the acting, taking into account that most of the actors had never set foot on stage, is extremely good. On top of that it is based on real events and J.A. Bayona has managed to make this film not simply a movie, but a feeling. The survivors have confirmed that this is the most realistic film about this case that they have ever made. He has managed to make the passed away people also an important part for the public, because for the survivors they were everything. This film has managed to reach the hearts of many people and has made the case get the recognition it deserved. And not only the survivors, also the passed away. And the cinematography is incredible, part of the film was shot at the actual site of the accident, in el Valle de las Lágrimas. The actors committed themselves to their characters in an incredible way, and lost up to 30 kg. They had to train for months and diet. The casting is also incredible, the resemblance of the actors to the survivors is extreme. The makeup was also very difficult and realistic, since they tried to make it as close to the real thing as possible. I really think he deserves this Oscar.This is a masterpiece.
Its wonderful this video about nominations of the OSCAR.
Never get the hate for Nyad. It is like people do not want to have another opinion. I enjoyed Nyad and do not mind either nomination it got.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Personally, I saw it very early, and it didn't work for me at all (seeing it the same day as "Poor Things" didn't help because that one was brilliant) - i appreciated the message, but not the execution.
@@ImpressionBlend Thanks for your respectful response :)
I feel that joe Hisaishi was snubbed in the score category. Also I dont really know how to feel about Elemental being nominated and both Suzume and tmnt not. Though I am happy its Elemental and not Wish...
IMO Godzilla minus one deserved a few more nominations than just the VFX, but sadly due to how the academy has treated films in the past I am not surprised.
Not nearly enough for Past Lives
The Zone of Interest should [but probably won't] win every Oscar it is nominated for [5 categories]. It's a much more accomplished film than any of its 2024 competition; but we all know big budget films tend to be favoured by those who vote.😢
Snubbing Greta was a crime.
Yeah Greta Lee was excellent in Past Lives
@@CosmicPotato Greta Lee is excellent and I love her. But I still don't love you.
@@vruz Why don't you love me? ☹️ Is it because I burnt the toast?
Noms for Napoleon and Nyad are the result of Netflix's "powers of persuasion".
Napoleon isn't Netflix
Sure, Maestro does not have a great script - but it did include the classic line: "Who abandoned Snoopy?"
The unsolved mystery I would like an answer to
My thoughts on Oscars 2024 is very similar to yours.
- Oppenheimer is one of my favourite films of all time. I think it deserves every single 13 nominations. I hope it wins them too!
-If Oppenheimer does lose any I would be ok with Barbie/Poor Things getting production design & costumes. Zone getting sound. Maestro is winning makeup.
- Amazing for Justine Triet making Best Director. Totally deserved!
- I liked Nyad. I think Annette Bening & Jodie Foster got nominated because they are legends not for their specific performances. I would have gone with Greta Lee & Claire Foy.
- Although I personally want Cillian Murphy to win… Andrew Scott missing in Lead Actor will forever be one of the Academy’s worst decisions. He is exquisite in All Of Us Strangers. The film should have gotten way more love & recognition.
- I enjoyed Barbie. I think people are forgetting it’s been winning a lot this awards season at GG & CC. Glad it got 8 Oscar noms. At first I was shocked by Margot & Greta missing out but it’s a very stacked year. I think they got in the right categories. Greta for screenplay & Margot for producing it. A huge achievement the film got made because of these two powerful women!!! And that’s because of the writing & producing it. 👏
- Agree The Zone of Interest should have got score. And Killers should have been in adapted screenplay.
So many first time nominees & certain people making history with their nominations. Well done to all 👏

Hello, Marianna! Greta's work on Barbie is fine, she has couple stand outs in the movie, but I just can't understand people's desire for her nomination.
VFX in MI 7 are the weakest link. Nomination for the sake of nomination. I would like to see more love for the Spider-verse. Yes, it's more deserving to be in vfx category than MI
