Oscar Nominations 2023: The Full Nominees List – The Hollywood Reporter

I have seen some of these.

I have been watching Everything Everywhere All at Once and will get back to it soon.

2023 Oscar Nominations Live: '''Everything Everywhere All At Once''' Leads - The New York Times

We saw a total of TWO of these movies. We’re totally fine with that and feel we missed nothing. And like all Awards shows will plan to miss this one too. Over the years these have become a “look at me, I’m a celebrity - and my views are important so listen to me.

This has hyperlinks so that you can read about the movie or the nominees.

95th Academy Awards - Wikipedia

Probably saw about a dozen of the various OSCAR nominated movies.

The Banshees of Inisherin - Wikipedia This was a very entertaining movie-- really dark though.

I am up to the part where the Jamie Lee Curtis character comes in for the Everything Everywhere All at Once film but will get back to it.

Did probably see Top Gun: Maverick two times in the theater and two times on digital. Great movie!!

And on the other side of the coin.....

Razzie Award Nominations 2023: Jared Leto, Tom Hanks and 'Blonde' - Variety

Could not see a film there I would pay to watch, and there is no way I would waste electricity watching the Oscars, and listen to a load of "I want to thank the world" BS.
Back to my book!

Got tired listening to a bunch of pompous jerks tell the world what they think of world affairs.

Award shows are political statements
 

Who cares? When these shows go back to being entertainment maybe the extremely low viewing audience will get a few more watchers.

Used to love watching the Oscars, but I don't see many films at the theaters anymore. Top Gun and Elvis were very good, but like others, I am tired of all the political statements at the show, so I will probably skip it.

I love the Oscars. My favorite time of year. So many movies to watch in time for the March 12th ceremony. Getting that popcorn ready!

Respectfully, who cares what the motion picture industry populace thinks of themselves?

I usually only watch parts of it especially when they announce Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Picture.

We were not too far from Lucas Films when we lived in Rohnert Park, CA. Lucasfilm Ltd. | Lucasfilm.com And movie production trailers would often be parked at the Red Lion Inn in Rohnert Park just across the fairway from us when my parents lived bordering the golf course in Rohnert Park, CA. They would be preparing to go to locations in Sonoma, Napa and Marin Counties to make films. The trailers were usually only a few hundred feet from us out our back door.

Yawn! Snorrrr....

I recall that there was a rumor that Sylvester Stallone snuck into the Red Lion Inn using a nun's habit when they were filming Stop or My Mother Will Shoot.

I did talk to a few people who might have been attached to movie making but that was usually about all the duck poop around the pathways and on the greens. Or about some other nothing matter.

Agree, don’t want to listen to a bunch of people who are not connected to the real world spouting their opinions

Some of them are great business people who are involved in a lot of things. One I communicated with on Facebook has a law degree from a prestigious French university.

:agree::agree::agree:

And this all means what? So their crazy opinions is less crazy because of this? Actors are actors - especially while they preach to us about their pet personal views and positions. Like we should listen intently to this acting??? Big NO from us here. I respect great acting period. Anything beyond that effort stops when the movie or show stops.

Look at the background of stars like Clark Gable, Henry Fonda, James Stewart, James Garner among many others. You will see that they have very intense real life experiences. Adam Driver fits that mold.

I have only seen 2 - Everything, everywhere and the Banshees. I thought that Everything was JUST OK. I saw it a while ago and can't really remember anything particularly great about it. It is getting a lot of press so MAYBE (?) I should watch some of it again.....maybe. Now, Banshees WAS very memorable, maybe too much. I would recommend people watch it to the 3/4 point.......it was very good and I LOVED Colin Ferrell in "Farewell to Yang" an excellent and believable Sci/Fy series. Also, Ferrell has been good in every movie that I have seen him in.
......Now back to Banshees ......the last 25 % of the movie was excellent as a movie, but it got so GORY in an INTENSE manner that I wished that I had not seen the end or even from the 3/4 point. And I am USUALLY NOT put off by violence, but the violence in Banshees was not as bad as some other movies, but it was so believable that it was as if I was actually there and friends with the 2 of them. It IS hard to explain, but the movie was SO good that it was TOO GOOD. It was hard to turn away from that movie, but I wish that I had !!!!!!!! Both actors were incredible!

I hope you saw Top Gun: Maverick . Really entertaining.

I knew that Jimmy Steward flew Bombers in WW2. But, I don't know about Adam Driver. He is a very good actor. I even liked him in a little movie about him being a bus driver that liked poetry.

WOW, that IS a lot of watching......do you ever sleep?????

Driver served in the Marines for just over 2 years in the early 2000s.

He was injured while training and was medically discharged as a Lance Corporal...

Eddie Albert - Wikipedia

I had found this very odd given the image of Eddie Albert I had. Never would have thought he was in one of the most violent battles of WWII Battle of Tarawa - Wikipedia and had saved a number of men. He had gone to the U of Minnesota like me. University of Minnesota - Wikipedia
