My one and only thought about the Oscars this year is that every single nomination given to that shitty Elvis movie should've gone to Rocketman (2019) when it was up but unfortunately, homophobia

I realize this is nothing new but how are NONE of the three leads for May December (2023) nominated for an Oscar??????? NONE?!? I’m as tired about the Barbie/Oscar beef as the next person, but you have RYAN GOSLING a nomination for best supporting when CHARLES FUCKING MELTON was right there?? WHAT. EXPLAIN TO ME ACADEMY. EXPLAIN.

Ok, been sitting on this for a while, been trying to talk myself out of it, but here goes.
The book doesn't sell me on the love Theoden had for Eowyn.
I tried to read it and find something in his actions towards her that tell me he has proper regard, proper respect for her, that gives any weight or meaning to his love for her, but I can't find anything. He dismisses her before the entire court, doesn't consider her an heir or a proper part of his house, and has to have her virtues called out to him by other people, when she has been serving him for years.
Return Of The King sees him spout platitudes and declare her "dearer than daughter", but none of this is backed up by his general actions to her.
He loves Eowyn, fine. But he doesn't love her the way he loves Eomer, or probably loved Theodred. He doesn't love her as a fully realised being. Nor as someone to take pride in and carry on his legacy. He loves her a crutch, a tool, and something between pet and person.
He has affection for Eowyn, but his love feels more like a trivial thing, than something with any real worth or regard to it.

Where was all this outrage when Stephanie Hsu got snubbed?

apparently the reason may december is being snubbed during awards season is because a lot of actors REALLY didn’t like what it had to say about actors who take on the roles of real people, and the idea that a bunch of former theatre kids might be sensitive about criticism of the industry they work in is, to me, just so shocking

Goldblum absolutely should have been nominated for The Fly yeah. I know everyone already said this at the time but... they were right! Just finished my rewatch of it and I love how his voice slowly becomes more and more buzzing. Such a good performance all round but really good vocally how he portrays the change.

The way some people are reacting to the Oscar nominations, specifically in regards towards Barbie, and many other things surrounding it holds certain undertones, especially when they then start to go and deny America Ferrera's talent among other things, that are very concerning. Like let's not do that. Especially if you're writing an article for a newspaper (LA Times) that makes digs towards the other films and their nominees, mainly who were women, and say that that proves the point of Barbie. Even though the point of the film was that women have to work harder than men just to get their foot in the door, not about shaming other women, but I digress.
