Honestly, the biggest snub of all. But maybe it’s destined to be a classic film lovers find on their own scrolling through Criterion one night.
Oscar Bait 2022 - 2023
- Thread starter Jwentz
- Start date
I don't know much about scamming your way into the race and category fraud, but I know this is the best foreign film of the year. The tension, the mystery, the atmosphere, the twists and turns. It had a total grip on me.

Eh at the end of the day it's not that different from a "normal" Oscar campaign is it. That involves months of marketing, mingling at parties, interviews, open eds, getting celebrities to host academy screenings... It just sometimes doesn't happen openly on social media. I don't see what her campaign did that's so offensive compared to the usual.
What seems bad for me is that these lone acting nominations for underseen movies normally happen for people like Riseborough, Cotilllard, Charlotte Rampling etc. but they don't for Deadwyler, Ruth Negga (yes I'll never get over it!!)

Absolutely insane that Paul Mescal from my Irish hometown is nominated, a great day for the parish. An amazing result for the Irish in general actually, nominations across the board.
Taylor was definitely snubbed a bit, Carolina is *easily* a better song than Rihanna and Gaga's offerings. But I'm sure she'll get her Oscar one day, Taylor is nothing if not determined dd

I had forgotten she was eligible for that.
Clearly she'll be sweeping with her feature film debut anyway.
Looking forward to watching Diane clench her butt in anticipation of finally getting that competitive Oscar only for Gaga to snatch it.
I really want Paul Mescal to win.

Well, The Whale was... a movie!
I'm happy for Brendan but I was really hoping that I'd have enjoyed that more. Even his fantastic performance couldn't save the rest of it for me.

Best Supporting Actress pains me as Angela Bassett is well overdue but Stephanie Hsu was absolutely PHENOMENAL and had my full attention.
Michelle Yeoh deserves Best Actress and I hope she tells the music people to “shut up” again.

I love how the list of names gets more and more absurd as it continues. Like yeah, I’m sure Amber from Clueless and Natalie from The Facts of Life really tipped the scales.What exactly is going on here?
Also good for Ana, the movie was trash but she was really great in it.
I’m biased but I do think Carolina deserved a nom, it’s a great song (and better than Gaga & Rihanna’s songs).

dd I literally learned about this movie because of Sarah Paulson’s posts. I guess this campaign worked if it didn’t get any actual funding, but it does feel weird to have so many big names publicly backing it.
Ana being the first nomination for a NC-17 or X-rated film since Marlon Brando in Last Tango in Paris = Ana de Armas is the new Marlon Brando confirmed
