I just finished watching Emilia Pérez, and saw it won best picture at the Golden Globes, but have no idea why? Anora, Challengers, and The Substance are objectively better movies yet Emilia Pérez won? It’s great to see there’s finally a trans actress to receive an Oscar nomination, but the performance wasn’t amazing, and I’d say Demi Moore or Mikey Madison had much better material to work with and really showed their talent.

Some thoughts (althought not having seen many of the nominations yet, e.g. the Brutalist):
-
Considering the critical acclaim it got, i am somewhat suprised by the complete lack of nominations for “Challengers”
-
Glad to see Dune Part II and hope it wins some awards, could have maybe also deserved a nom in directing?
-
Haven’t seen it, but Emilia Pérez seems to be quite controversial in its reception and got a ton of nominations
-
For best international feature film “All We Imagine as Light” might have also been worth a nomination, but not

I feel like i have to add it to my watchlist simply to be able to have an informed opinion, even if it isn’t necessarily what i’d be drawn to.

If it were just that, a single (or a few) nomination and maybe a minor win would be one thing, but it just got 13 oscar nominations, twice for best original song. So depending on how you count the double entry it’s the most nominated film of the year or tied with The Brutalist at 10.

All we imagine as light wasn’t submitted by India so not eligible to be nominated

I’m very surprised Dune part II was not in there for directing and having seen both I think it should be in there over Emilia Perez. I’m glad Emilia Perez exists and it’s up there for it’s message and those involved but it was just okay and nobody else I know even on forums like these even talks about it nor seem to have seen it.
