This is my first year in over a decade viewing the Oscar noms as something other than an entertainment journalist, and that bums me out. Still… I guess I still got thoughts.
- I really hope Jacob Elordi wins for playing my boi the Creature, obv I’m biased now, Frankenstein was a downright religious experience for me
- I’m so happy Wunmi Mosaku got nominated for Sinners! Representing us Brits! I’ve followed her since her In The Flesh days. I always hoped Doctor Who might snap her up, although for what role I don’t know.
- Sinners is now I think the most nominated film in Oscars history and it does deserve it, it’s an amazingly well-made movie. With songs!
- I haven’t seen Hamnet, even though it’s an area of history I’m interested in, because it looks TOO SAD. :( I remember the Upstart Crow episode about Hamnet’s death and that was very upsetting so I don’t think I could handle a whole movie of it.
- I thought Weapons was kind of overrated but it was good to see Amy Madigan get a nomination, I don’t think she’ll win though admittedly.
- I never get to watch the Oscars live cos I live in the wrong country. :(
