Having now seen The Zone Of Interest, it's mind-blowing that they gave it an Adapted Screenplay nomination instead of Killers Of The Flower Moon. It's an art-house film thin on plot.

You all really should see Poor Things.

Yep. Generally speaking though, in my experience, it's VERY hard to convince Atlas politics nerds to watch good movies. Been trying to get people to watch Parasite and Past Lives since they came out, and very few actually have (compared to how many people I told to watch).

I wanted to see Paul Giamatti win Best Actor over Cillian Murphy, but it didn't happen. I also would have preferred Danielle Brooks winning Supporting Actress over Da'Vine Joy Randolph.

The best movie of the year for me was Past Lives, but I knew it had no chance of winning last night.

RANDOM NOTE - Updated the OP and post below it with 2023 stuff.
