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.
Yes, however, it was not because I thought The Licorice Pizza was a very good movie. It was because it gave an impression that the voters of the academy would like the screenplay of the movie. The movie was more an art film than a movie to please an audience, I reckon. Also, you will certainly like Drive my car but there was a few minutes in the movie where it might have lost the plot and found itself again in the ending.
