I did not like Licorice Pizza so much, however, it quickly made me think of the best original screenplay category when I was watching it. I searched the odds and it confirmed the speculation.

Hah really? I honestly didn't have that though about any of the movies I saw so far.

I also recommend everyone to watch Drive my car. It might be the underdog of 2022 hehehe.

I haven't seen that one yet as I have issues finding 3 hours of spare time to watch it one go, even though by the looks of it looks like something I might like.

I watched " the power of the dog" I couldn't digest the thought that it is in Oscar nomination. I could hardly watch half the movies and turned off the TV, thinking what made jury bring this movie to the Oscar nomination. I think they have all the things planned and they see their interest and decide what they want people to watch.

Slow burn drama movies like that are certainly not everyone's cup of tea so I can understand someone not liking it. You probably didn't like last year winners as well, Nomadland?

Doesn't mean all the top ones do neither, Endgame was the top grossing and got zero. But if you check every single winner of Oscars best movie award, you will realize that most of the time they are boring movies. They pick boring movies, last year it was nomadland, like do you really think that it was the BEST movie of last year? Really? Nobody thinks that at all, hence Oscars are 100% DEFINITELY not the indicator of any movies quality.

Just because some movie earns a lot of money doesn't mean its quality but only that is popular and Oscars isn't popularity contest. Of course, Academy has its agenda, but its still better than giving Oscars based on popularity as that it would be much worse.

Boring to you maybe, Nomadland was pretty good movie. You know what's boring for me? Mindless superhero movies like Avengers, Spidermans and all similar crap. I honestly can' stand that shit.
