I want to see that. Looks amazing.Did anyone here see American Fiction?
Yeah, the nominations aren't all bad this year.Godzilla Minus One is the first Godzilla film in the 70-year history of the franchise to get an Oscar nomination (Best Visual Effects)!!!
No, they're still all bad. The VFX award is generally treated like a quarantine award to placate/keep out popular titles from the serious business awards that the dying boomers that run The Academy really care about. That Godzilla got shut out from the rest of the awards ought to tell you how serious this entire charade is.Yeah, the nominations aren't all bad this year.
It’s just simple math. Look at the kinds of films that typically receive those noms/awards. High budget scifi or fantasy movies that generally get shunned for other awards no matter how good they are. The Academy generally has a bias against those kinds of movies, just like they do against comedies. I am not the first person to make this observation. I was watching Roger & Ebert make the same criticisms of The Academy back in the 80s.That's the first time I've seen that complaint levied against the visual effects award.
Technical awards do act as a form of ghetto. That said, I'm going to reserve judgement on whether G-1 should be content in said position considering its competition this year until I see it.That's the first time I've seen that complaint levied against the visual effects award.
Except that in this analogy, the gecko is also extremely racist and sexist, and its preference of mealworms and crickets locks women and people of color out of duly earned success, recognition, and wealth.Getting mad for the academy rewarding prestige dramas over genre is like offering streak tartare to a pet gecko and getting mad when it prefers mealworms and crickets.
That Godzilla got shut out from the rest of the awards ought to tell you how serious this entire charade is.
Seriously, no, not really. It simply wasn't a particularly great, award-worthy movie.Godzilla Minus One would be an Oscar worthy movie even if you removed Godzilla completely from the film.
