Oscars 2024 • Page 3

Happy to see Past Lives in the mix for a couple of the big awards. Might be the first year I haven't even heard of any of the docs nominated. I'm slacking more than usual.

 

Andrew Scott snub/“All Of Us Strangers” not getting anything is disappointing, but not unexpected.

Oh okay, thanks. Uh, then I have no suggestion writing wise.

 

he didn't write a star is born either. maybe he NEEDS to wri... (shot by a sniper)

Only BP nominee I haven't seen yet is The Zone of Interest, but that only just came to my local theater so I should have time to see it before the awards.
