All these movies when introduced at golden globes. The young people around here averted their eyes. They said they were horrific movies. I know wicked is horrific
Didn’t see any of them, and don’t intend to see any of them.
Already posted. And my thread has a better headline

Never heard of them. Typical liberal Oscar nominations.
Who gives a good rat’s ass about anything spewed by hollyweird?
Does anyone even care about these stupid awards anymore? I have no interest in watching a bunch of elitists pat each other on the back and preach to us how we should be living.
Remember when they used to make films we would actually watch?
This will be the first year I haven’t seen a single one of the “Best Picture” nominees - and I have no plans to see any of them.
All appear to be uninteresting, except for “A Complete Unknown” - I’m waiting for that one to come on streaming.
“Reagan” totally shut out. Of course it is.
I just read the other day that the order has come down that nominees must be trans, other aberrant types, or poc. Sorry, can’t remember where I read it.
Oscar’s first name is 2025?
WGAF ...
Emilia Pérez is transgender Woke nonsense. The Brutalist is disappointing. It could have been good but isn’t. Wicked is a nice movie with catchy tunes. None deserve Oscars or even to be nominated. Then again, I never watch them so I don’t care.
I think the Emilia Perez movie is all about gender dysphagia and trans surgery. Not suprised it had the most nominations. Hard pass on that one.
The best movie ever made has already been made. If you love movies, buy physical media while you still can.
The best woman for the job is a man.
I’m under the impression that the goal of wicked is to find excuses for wicked and evil behavior.
RE: 2025 Oscar nominations: ‘Emilia Pérez’ leads with 13 nods, followed by ‘The Brutalist’ and ‘Wicked’ with 10
Honestly, other than ‘Wicked’, I am not aware of any of these films listed.
The thing that jumped out at me was how heavily the Best Picture, Best Director and acting nominations are concentrated on a handful of films. I’ve been arguing all year that 2024 was an awful year for movies because, given the lead time on movies, we’re still in the rainshadow of the actors’ and writers’ strikes. In prior years, I’ve had no difficulty finding a half a dozen or more movies to recommend; not so in 2024. My fingers are crossed on 2025 as more post-strike stuff starts to come out. I also think that we are clearly past peak woke, which can only help.
Of the current Best Picture nominees, the only one I’ve seen is Dune 2, and that did not impress me. We enjoyed Wicked when we saw it on the stage, but the movie holds no interest for me. I will probably check out a couple of the others eventually, but I am under motivated at this point.
I’m a bit surprised that Saiorse Ronan didn’t get a Best Actress nomination for The Outrun, but not having seen any of the others, I will withhold my grumping.
How that snide donut licking midget cheating homewrecker, got nominated I don’t know, but then I don’t watch anyway.
