The Oscars, historically:
* Black people were rarely nominated.
* Women often had to endure sexual assault to win one.
* The 3 most thanked people in acceptance speeches, in order, were Spielberg, Weinstein, then God. That says it all.
How can anyone feel good about winning one under these circumstances?
Not surprised that Barbie was snubbed. Excuse me... Ryan Gosling was nominated, because irony is dead. And "Best film" but not "Best Director" or "Best Actor," because women's credit must be shared.
Best song, and best costume, because yes, they were great.
The weird thing about Greta Gerwig is that she's not a great director. (Clearly, she hasn't won an Oscar! Didn't even get nominated this time!)
🤔And yet, Best Picture nominated movies keep directing themselves around her somehow? 3 for 3?
We exist in a world where we pretend that the societal impact of the art that was Oppenheimer, is somehow greater than the societal impact of the art that was Barbie.
That Margot Robbie didn't show out like Cillian Murphy did. But she wore great costumes! Dress up! Pretty girl!

I saw both films in theaters within a few weeks of each other last summer. The crowd reaction to Barbie, especially the women in the audience, was fabulous. OTH, my background is physics and I’ve worked at Los Alamos, so steeped in the history of the place and an Oppenheimer fan. I really wanted to like the film (saw it in an IMax theater) but mostly what I remember is that it was very long.
