Isn't it odd that a no-frills action sequel was nominated for best picture?

It's a dope ass movie, and tbh it should have won. What was it up against, anyway?

sort of. the saga of how this movie got made is why, but not all of that translated to the screen. a lot of the awards are behind the scenes stuff. i think half the awards given out are because artists pulled off saying "stuff it" to producers and studios.

It as about a male villain who oppressed women, that's Oscar bait.

it's definitely atypical, but completely deserved.

i know what you mean by 'no frills' - it's lean on plot, long on operatic, insane action. personally i'd shy away from using a term like that for a movie filled with such great visuals & intense action.

it's definitely one of my favourite films.

i don't take those awards all that seriously, but i definitely think it's very cool that it got that nomination.

Uncommon but awesome.

It's not a regular thing but this movie deserved it! I can't wait for the next one 😊

Odd, but I would say that's a good thing.

I love pretentious, artsy shit as much as the next guy, but I think there's a space in best picture for movies that aren't "typical oscar fare".

yes. probably caused the makers of Terminator Dark Fate to get their hopes up
