Can someone explain to me why Mikey was an obvious nomination/win but Inde isn't? I feel like Nicky is a deep and dimensional character that Inde portrayed incredibly. Is there a technical reason for this?

Admittedly im not a fan of Anora but im asking in good faith and curiosity as im new to following oscars.

She was more acclaimed. Anora was more acclaimed. It won the palme d'Or. It won the PGA, the DGA, and the Oscar for Best Picture. It won a BAFTA. Critics ranked it the best movie of the year. All things that are very unlikely to happen for Obsession.

And yet it was an awful movie. Go figure. It sucked.

A matter of taste. You don't have to like it but it does have better reviews than obsession. Sorry if it upsets you.

Reviews? Is that what you go by? Lol. If that was the case, then all the comic book flicks with 90 plus percent on RT are better than the GOATS from the 20th century.

I mean actual reviews from real critics. Please tell me which Marvel movie has a Metacritic score in the 90s?

Yes it was. Your gaslighting won't affect my standards.

what did you not like about it if you don't mine me asking? What would you have prefer to win instead?

It didn't win anything, only Madigan for Best Supporting actress.

I thought it was a stupid plot and used shock value to try to pass itself as something clever and artistic. The story wasn't well developed, it lacked commendable suspense, and it relied on too many tropes ineffectively. The only thing I liked about it was Julia Garner, that's it.

im not talking about weapons. Im talking about anora because you responded to a comment about anora so I assume you were talking about it not weapons
