The Batman not getting nominated for score or cinematography is wild. Mia Goth for Pearl and Ralph Fiennes for The Menu are also so disappointing for me.
RRR was ineligible because the Oscars require each country to submit a single movie for consideration, and India’s committee didn’t realize what they had on their hands so they submitted a different movie EDIT: Sorry, I should clarify: it wasn’t eligible for International feature. It WAS eligible for Best Picture and unfortunately just didn’t get in
@@antonyblalock2696 Not quite the same, but very similar, yeah. In that case, Disney didn't HAVE to limit it to 1 song, but they chose to only campaign for 1, because they figured it gave them a better chance of getting in. And by the time Bruno blew up it was too late to switch, because the Oscar shortlists had already come out. But yeah it's effectively the same concept, in the sense that they didn't know they had a hit on their hands until it was too late.
India didn’t submit RRR for international film, instead I think they submitted a movie called Chhello Show. It’s really a bummer though because RRR was fantastic.
Yeah they just need to say from now on “we considered every genre except horror that doesn’t exist in our eyes” It’s insane how disrespectful they’re to the genre and everyone apart of it every single year
This is one of the greatest Best Picture lineups in recent years because it covers every point in the spectrum from 2-billion dollar blockbusters to tiny indie arthouse darlings, from AVATAR and TOP GUN to WOMEN TALKING and TRIANGLE OF SADNESS. Should result in better viewership and interest because the Oscars are making an effort to be relevant and redemptive by covering all kinds of films of different scales and genres throughout the year. Snubbing DECISION TO LEAVE and NOPE everywhere, snubbing TOP GUN 2 in Cinematography but giving it Screenplay, snubbing GDT's PINOCCHIO in Score & Song, snubbing AVATAR in Cinematography after the first one won that award, snubbing Paul Dano for Hirsch in FABELMANS... lots of wild inexcusable ones just like snubbing Villeneuve for Directing last year. But also plenty of very deserved surprises and guarantees with love for EEAAO, RRR, ALL QUIET, THE BATMAN, TAR, BANSHEES, and FABELMANS. There was no way THE MENU was getting in here because the Oscars aren’t fans of horror/thrillers, but if I had my way, Ralph Fiennes would be winning, the Score would definitely win, and the Screenplay would be nominated for sure.
Honestly, the last thing the Oscars should try to do is be relevant. They should nominate the best films for each category no matter their budget or popularity among a general public that don’t care much for the art of film. This year was just lucky that some of the most popular films of the year are worthy
The Batman is the most beautifully shot in 2022 and that Best Cinematography snub is unacceptable. In TG: Maverick I think the visual effects scene there is the F14 scene from what I know those planes were already decommissioned back in 2006 and the Darkstarr scene is also a vfx scene
How did Top Gun not get a cinematography nomination?!!!!!!! The Academy really dropped the ball on this one. Also, Marcel the Shell was in my top 10 of 2022. So glad it got nominated. I also loved Puss in Boots.
I can really recommend you All Quiet on the Western Front. It was quite a banger here in Europe. Also loved Triangle of Sadness because it‘s creative and unique in it‘s structure and comedy
The Oscars should be the best of the best regardless of the genre but unfortunately it's been the Oscars history that it's not which makes Top Gun: Maverick being nominated for best picture so special and so important.
RRR wasn't India's official submission to the Oscars. That was a moment of anger among us because we've never won an Oscar, and we had this one on a platter with RRR, (cut to scene from Cop Land) "and you blew it!"
For me I'm the most dissapointed that Aftersun wasn't nominated for best picture. At least Paul Mescal was nominated for best actor, but then that also makes it even more confusing to me that the film didn't get the nom.
Can’t believe that I’ve actually heard of and seen a lot of the movies being nominated this time lol. That never happens. Everything Everywhere All At Once and Puss in Boots are the two films that made me the happiest to see get nominated. I do very much wish that The Batman and Wakanda Forever we’re nominated for best score though :(
@@ultimateslinger9857 Same with Horror. Like, clearly a lot of superhero and horror films aren’t exactly Oscar material when it comes to the script or the story, but there are a lot of them that have incredible performances or scores, regardless of the rest of the film, yet they never seem to get recognized. Glad Angela Basset was nominated though, that put a huge smile on my face!
I hope Top Gun: Maverick wins Best Picture. I know it's unlikely since they've been avoiding blockbusters in recent years, but it's clearly the most loved movie of the year.
I can’t fathom how Wakanda Forever didn’t get nominated for best score or how The Batman didn’t get nominated for best cinematography. They deserve it!!
The batman snubbed on best score too. If u can instantly start humming a movie score from a film that came out nearly a year ago then that's how u know its good
It was great to see the best of the popcorn movies AND indie films that the film industry has to offer, such as Top Gun: Maverick and Tar, receive multiple nominations including best picture, while other films with outstanding elements also get recognition for their craft - such as the incredible score in Babylon. While it is impossible to be happy with all the nominees in every category, the mix this year looks quite good.
The fact that The Batman didn't get nominated for best original score or cinematography is beyond me, That movie was iterally the best looking movie of last year and the score I've been listening to it since the movie came out, and also the fact that Ralph Fiennes (The Menu), Daniel Deadwyler (Till), Ethan Hawke (The Black Phone) and ESPECIALLY Mia Goth (Pearl) didn't get any Oscar buzz were the biggest snubs this year, the horror genre I swear get overlooked so easily, still really happy and pleased on what we got at the Oscars though, they worked really hard on everything!👍
I said it the other day on another channel, but really, I could care less what the Oscars present. They do have some good nominations, but then proceed to snub stuff like animation. That’s my quick two cents on the Oscars, at least nowadays… Also it wouldn’t surprise me if we see another actor get slapped on stage or something like that 😂
As a film lover from Ireland, this is a huge year for Irish film with The Banshees of Inisherin and The Quiet Girl (An Cailín Ciúin) being recognised in each of their respective categories and Paul Mescal getting nominated for Best Actor in his first feature film after the success of Normal People. Banshees of Inisherin is one of the best films of the year to me and seeing The Quiet Girl (which is 90% spoken Irish throughout) get a nod for Best International Feature feels historical!
Mike White went from writing Jack Black comedies to becoming THE guy on television with The White Lotus. Crazy how writers can switch their reputations in an instant.
I thought Black Panther 2 and The Batman getting beat out for Best Picture by Avatar 2. They’re both objectively better in pretty much every way that isn’t visually
I’m glad The Batman got some recognition! I would have wanted Paul Dano and Gabriel LaBelle for The Fabelmans to get in. Also unpopular opinion, I think Tom Hanks should have gotten more talk for Elvis
Loved the video Sean😉. But i think 2019 was the year that had more balanced choices and a great winner: Parasite; Joker; 1917; The Irishman; Jojo Rabbit; Ford vs Ferrari; Once Upon a Time in Hollywood; Marriage Story and Little Women. Besides Marriage Story and Little Women, all the other 8 movies were really popular with audiences and critics.
Best Visual Effects: I am torn between Top Gun Maverick and Black Panther Wakanda Forever as far as my choice. Best Original Song: Hold My Hand is my choice Best Film Editing: Easily my choice is Top Gun Maverick Best Adapted Screenplay: My choice is Top Gun Maverick Best Supported Actress: My choice is Angela Bassett Best Picture: My choice easily Top Gun Maverick
Babylon while divisive should have gotten in for Best Picture (this year’s don’t look up). At least it got score, costumes and production design. If you haven’t seen it yet Sean. You should definitely check it out.
This year includes the most amount of best picture nominees I've ever seen before they were nominated (7/10). Unlike some other years, I was really anticipating most of the nominees this year (the obvious blockbusters but I was really looking forward to Fabelmans, EverythingEverywhere, etc). Will definitely need to see Tar and All Quiet (I liked the TV movie from the 70s). I'm sure women talking is good but it doesn't look really interesting to me.
As a Bollywood/South Indian Movies fan, I’m so happy Sean took his first step into it, but there’s so many other movies better than RRR I think he needs to watch😂
I personally hate over the top movies like RRR, but there's no way any other Indian movie comes close to the over-the top style direction & effects of that movie. It made $150MM in the global box office making it the tenth highest grossing film in the world last year. There was really no other competition out of Indian cinema last year, other than maybe Pusha/KGF which both have much worse effects & story direction. There are better Indian movies IMO like: PK, Dangal, Kapoor and Sons (but these movies fall into an entirely different Genre).
Curious to see how this season turns out. I completely agree with the original song being so reserved for the credits this year. I understand when there is a variety, such as the usual disney movie song. Ciao Papa or Good Afternoon could've helped even it out, but alas, credit song sweep this year. The songs that were picked were good at least, it is, like you said, odd.
Assuming the animated category isn’t rigged and given to Pixar cause it’s Pixar, it should be either Puss or Pinocchio, both great picks honestly, wouldn’t be upsetting if one or the other win it imo. Never saw Marcel tho, maybe that’s a sleeping beast waiting to wake up (for lack of a better metaphor)
Think about, if Puss in Boots wins, it will be the first spider verse inspired animated movie to win. Just like how it happened with Arcane at the Game Awards
I didn't remember, but the first time I saw Hong Chau, was in the TV show "How I met your mother", doing a REALLY small character called "Cook Pu", and they make fun all the episode about her name...now she is nominated for an Oscar, what a journey. Also I watched her in HBO's show Watchmen, and she was incredible as this creepy character "Lady Trieu". And now the amazing The Menu, The Whale and getting nominated in one year. So glad she is getting attention she deserves, like Brendan Fraser has been saying in every internview, her work is amazing.
You should definitely watch all quiet on the western front before the Oscars. Its an amazing film and I believe it’s going to do really well in the Oscars
I have a feeling that with more people going to theatres this year and appreciating that experience post-pandemic, combined with the amount of recognizable films in the nominations being higher than normal, these Oscars won't continue the downward ratings trend its had.
For VFX, that doesn’t necessarily mean CGI. Practical effects are still visual effects, hence why Top Gun got a nomination. Similar thing to Mad Max Fury Road, a lot of practical special effects
Great video! I agree with almost everything you said in this video, and yeah RRR being snubbed really annoys me too. Maverick not getting a cinematography nomination and James Cameron not getting a best director nomination was weird too. But what annoys the most is how they treated Babylon. It should 100% have been nominated for best picture. Chazelle should've been nominated for best director too, and Margot absolutely deserved a best actress after that career best performance in Babylon. Hopefully Maverick wins a couple of Oscars and Justin Hurwitz gets best score though :)
I think Tom Cruise should have been nominated for best actor, yeah, maybe he doesn't have scenes where he screams or cry strongly (though he has that scene with Val Kilmer) but he is the face of Top Gun Maverick, without him that movie wouldn't exist or at least be as good as it was, and don't forget he learned for 1 year how to fly a jet, I think the Oscars should have recognized him.
In regards to Maverick and VFX, I believe that while yes, the actors did legitimately fly in the backseats of fighter jets and yes, a lot of the aerial shots were legit, whenever you see other jets from the cockpit, it’s VFX. I’m sure quite a few aerial shots with multiple jets were also composited too. I’d imagine the Navy didn’t want to risk any sort of accident in production, ESPECIALLY while the actors were in the jets. Hint: If you compare the first trailer to final trailer, a few of the shots are the same but with updated VFX, whether it be an extra jet in the shot or added terrain. (Also, the final showdown between the F/14 and the SU57s had to have employed a bit of visual effects, since neither of those jets would be able to be used for filming) Yes, I’m a nerd.
That's why it didn't get a Cinematography nom? But srsly, in all honesty: Then why did the first Avatar get the award? I thought this award was always about what great pictures you can achieve while using the camera in the most advanced and creative way? Srsly, they snubbed the front-runner category just to annoy people who did an incredible amount of work, you can't tell me otherwise. Part of the academy is full of evil people.
@@rafearcher7882 Cinematography is a tricky subject, since I see it as a display of everything on the screen, VFX included. That’s just how I interpret it and how I imagine some academy members see it. In the case of Avatar, VFX is flawless and everyone knows it, but it’s also the compositing of the image that stands out. Every frame knows where to draw your eye and achieves it perfectly. In my opinion that’s great cinematography, but I completely understand if others don’t see it that way. However I do not disagree with you on Maverick’s cinematography snub. Same should be said for the Batman. The academy this year didn’t really get a grasp on most films in my opinion, and it’s a lot worse than usual. Like seriously, Nope not getting a SINGLE mention? Very disappointed this year.
@@Tobytyty101 So you're basically telling us that Cinematography nowadays has also a lot to do with Art Direction? Good to know. That also explains the nominees.
@@rafearcher7882 I’m not saying definitively. Just saying that’s how I feel about it. It’s hard because generally cinematographers mainly focus on what’s in camera and in frame on the day of shooting. But yeah I think the term cinematography has evolved into an overarching perspective of art direction.
I love your comment about The Goonies and not seeing it till you were older. I’m 30 and haven’t seen it despite it being a major cult classic. It doesn’t really appeal to me but I feel like curiosity will eventually get me to watch it one day.
Glad to see that there are three movies I’ve seen nominated for best picture. Most of the time the movies nominated for best picture are ones that either I haven’t seen or haven’t heard of.
Hey Sean I thought it was really cool that you took the time to react to the Oscar nominations being announced. I completely agree with you that Baz should’ve been nominated for Best Director for directing Elvis. I thought he did a great job with that film and honestly out of the 10 Best Picture nominees, Elvis was my favorite and I hope it does well on Oscars night.
Totally agree with you Sean on how it is good to see how balanced the best picture nominees are this year, including bigger movies that are just as good cinematic wise as other smaller lesser known movies. Most of the past few years’ nominees haven’t been this balanced so this is good to see
Seeing the horror genre get overlooked time & time again is pathetic It's one of the few genres making money & driving audiences to theaters and has had some incredible performances to boot.
If they’re gonna do credit songs for Original Song. HELLO! The Weeknds song for Avatar 2 that song evokes huge emotions out of you when the lights come back on after the movie. Also Lift Me Up from BP2 is incredible when it comes to emotion
I have the same opinion on the best original song. I prefer when the academy chooses songs that are relevant to the film. I wish they nominated New Body Rhonba from White Noise this year
Sean, RRR wasn’t nominated because India didn’t choose it as it’s one submission as international film. So in a way, yes it was snubbed! But not at the fault of the academy
@@barrysmith4610 looks like it only applies to the international film category. So it could still be nominated for other categories (meaning that they really should have had it for best picture!)
most countries choose a movie to send to the academy for consideration for best international film but if the movie gets a us release you can get nominated in any other category triangle of sadness was swedens entry but did not get nominated but is nominated for best movie becuse it was in us cinemas
@@joshwilson6077 fair enough I was just looking on google but I honestly thought it belonged in the nominations for best picture or at least best cinematography
Didn’t Snyder Cut win something once? Or was it something else. Also Black Panther 1 (for whatever reason) was nominated for Best Picture a few years back. Frankly tho, and imma be honest, superhero movies really aren’t the pinnacle of cinema. You’ll have something amazing like The Batman, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Verse, Infinity War, Logan, or The Dark Knight, but most of the time you’re getting something like Ant-Man - Black Panther - Shang Chi - Aquaman etc. levels of a movie, which aren’t bad movies but simply don’t compare to the artistry of other films like RRR, Everything Everywhere, Banshees, etc. Ofc you’re welcome to think otherwise. I think other aspects do deserve at least some form of recognition such as the score…
I'm actually excited to watch most of the nominated films this year. Unfortunately here in Mexico most Oscar nominees come out until February and March
25:00 Indian Film Federation themselves didn't send RRR for Best International Picture which was a big L. Then they sent RRR for Best Picture and it didn't get nominated. Idk what were they thinking, couldn't they send RRR for both categories like All Quiet on the Western Front? I'm confused, and if they could and they didn't, that's one the biggest Ls of all time
Hey Sean, to answer your question about RRR… each country gets to submit a film to be considered and India submitted a different film. So RRR was unfortunately not eligible for the international film Oscar
My Top 5 movies of the year worst to best are… 5. Avatar the Way of Water 4. All Quiet on the Western Front 3. Top Gun Maverick 2. RRR 1. The Northman is my Favorite movie since 2020 where Dune was my favorite. 2021 sucked for film compared to this year. I was pleased with 2022 for movies.
Doctor Strange 2 should've been at least nominated for best visuals and I was also pretty disappointed that Pearl and The Menu got snubbed. Not to mention The Northman
@@rafearcher7882 not a lot but there is some. Like the f14 tomcat is completely cgi because it doesn’t fly anymore. The dark star is cgi and sequences where jets get close i.e. the brakes and he’ll fly right by, completely cgi, even scenes in formation too. There are some cool videos about how they made it. There is one video where a real pilot breaks down the whole movie. His name is C.W Lemoine. He also did an interview with the the head of VFX for the film so you should definitely check it out if you haven’t
I have to admit i disagree with you on the song comment for Hold my hand, as you a big fan of the movie Maverick you obviously didn't notice the instrumental version of it is played throughout the film and its not just an end credit song. Like a Bond theme its a part of the film's score
The Batman not getting nominated for score or cinematography is wild. Mia Goth for Pearl and Ralph Fiennes for The Menu are also so disappointing for me.
For real
Yeah how did The Batman not get nominated?
The score for the Batman was so amazing I can’t comprehend it
Spot on. Wish Maverick got Cinematography and Decision To Leave got Foreign Language Film.
Simple. The Academy doesn’t like superheroes.
RRR was ineligible because the Oscars require each country to submit a single movie for consideration, and India’s committee didn’t realize what they had on their hands so they submitted a different movie
EDIT: Sorry, I should clarify: it wasn’t eligible for International feature. It WAS eligible for Best Picture and unfortunately just didn’t get in
So like the we don’t talk about Bruno controversy from last year
@@antonyblalock2696 Not quite the same, but very similar, yeah. In that case, Disney didn't HAVE to limit it to 1 song, but they chose to only campaign for 1, because they figured it gave them a better chance of getting in.

But yeah it's effectively the same concept, in the sense that they didn't know they had a hit on their hands until it was too late.

Chhello Show
I wonder if India realizes this and now deeply regrets this.
India didn’t submit RRR for international film, instead I think they submitted a movie called Chhello Show. It’s really a bummer though because RRR was fantastic.
Mia Goth really showed that she is an incredible actress. I wish horror would get more recognition.
Yeah they just need to say from now on
“we considered every genre except horror that doesn’t exist in our eyes”
It’s insane how disrespectful they’re to the genre and everyone apart of it every single year
@@zds8291 I’m pretty the people in the academy haven’t even watched Pearl. It’s such a shame honestly
The one I cared about more than anything was The Batman getting a cinematography nomination so of course that wasn't going to happen
This is one of the greatest Best Picture lineups in recent years because it covers every point in the spectrum from 2-billion dollar blockbusters to tiny indie arthouse darlings, from AVATAR and TOP GUN to WOMEN TALKING and TRIANGLE OF SADNESS. Should result in better viewership and interest because the Oscars are making an effort to be relevant and redemptive by covering all kinds of films of different scales and genres throughout the year.
Snubbing DECISION TO LEAVE and NOPE everywhere, snubbing TOP GUN 2 in Cinematography but giving it Screenplay, snubbing GDT's PINOCCHIO in Score & Song, snubbing AVATAR in Cinematography after the first one won that award, snubbing Paul Dano for Hirsch in FABELMANS... lots of wild inexcusable ones just like snubbing Villeneuve for Directing last year.
But also plenty of very deserved surprises and guarantees with love for EEAAO, RRR, ALL QUIET, THE BATMAN, TAR, BANSHEES, and FABELMANS.
There was no way THE MENU was getting in here because the Oscars aren’t fans of horror/thrillers, but if I had my way, Ralph Fiennes would be winning, the Score would definitely win, and the Screenplay would be nominated for sure.
Give the Oscars credit, they did some decent work representing here.
Honestly, the last thing the Oscars should try to do is be relevant. They should nominate the best films for each category no matter their budget or popularity among a general public that don’t care much for the art of film. This year was just lucky that some of the most popular films of the year are worthy
Biggest snubs for me are Maverick and Batman for cinematography and score and Ciao Papa for original song
The Batman is the most beautifully shot in 2022 and that Best Cinematography snub is unacceptable. In TG: Maverick I think the visual effects scene there is the F14 scene from what I know those planes were already decommissioned back in 2006 and the Darkstarr scene is also a vfx scene

Never saw Marcel tho, maybe that’s a sleeping beast waiting to wake up (for lack of a better metaphor)
Im with you. I hope Puss in Boots wins but sadly it may go to Pinocchio
Think about, if Puss in Boots wins, it will be the first spider verse inspired animated movie to win. Just like how it happened with Arcane at the Game Awards
I didn't remember, but the first time I saw Hong Chau, was in the TV show "How I met your mother", doing a REALLY small character called "Cook Pu", and they make fun all the episode about her name...now she is nominated for an Oscar, what a journey. Also I watched her in HBO's show Watchmen, and she was incredible as this creepy character "Lady Trieu". And now the amazing The Menu, The Whale and getting nominated in one year.
So glad she is getting attention she deserves, like Brendan Fraser has been saying in every internview, her work is amazing.
All quiet on the western front is superb. The start is very eerie
Top Gun not getting nominated for cinematography but for Screenplay is baffling to me.
You should definitely watch all quiet on the western front before the Oscars. Its an amazing film and I believe it’s going to do really well in the Oscars
I was honestly surprised that The Menu and The Northman didn’t get a single nomination.
I have a feeling that with more people going to theatres this year and appreciating that experience post-pandemic, combined with the amount of recognizable films in the nominations being higher than normal, these Oscars won't continue the downward ratings trend its had.
except maybe for Jimmy Kimmel
Danielle Deadwyler is the biggest snub for Till, the best acting by a woman.
Danielle Deadwyler (for Till) and RRR got snubbed.
Fingers crossed for Everything Everywhere All at Once.
I'm just really happy Puss In Boots 2 got the nomation it deserves
I like when you were talking about the editing awards. You mentioned that a lot of things were happening at once. Everything? Everywhere? All at Once?
Dude you need to watch All Quiet on the Western Front. Fantastic film.
For VFX, that doesn’t necessarily mean CGI. Practical effects are still visual effects, hence why Top Gun got a nomination. Similar thing to Mad Max Fury Road, a lot of practical special effects
Was never gonna happen, but Terrifier 2 honestly did deserve a Best Visual Effects nomination
Great video! I agree with almost everything you said in this video, and yeah RRR being snubbed really annoys me too. Maverick not getting a cinematography nomination and James Cameron not getting a best director nomination was weird too. But what annoys the most is how they treated Babylon. It should 100% have been nominated for best picture. Chazelle should've been nominated for best director too, and Margot absolutely deserved a best actress after that career best performance in Babylon. Hopefully Maverick wins a couple of Oscars and Justin Hurwitz gets best score though :)
I think Tom Cruise should have been nominated for best actor, yeah, maybe he doesn't have scenes where he screams or cry strongly (though he has that scene with Val Kilmer) but he is the face of Top Gun Maverick, without him that movie wouldn't exist or at least be as good as it was, and don't forget he learned for 1 year how to fly a jet, I think the Oscars should have recognized him.
definitely not
No just ridiculous
Sean you need to see All Quiet on the Western Front. One of the best remakes of all time
RRR seriously deserves to be in many catagories! Thanks!
I'm disappointed but not suprised about Mia Goth not getting nominated for Pearl.
India didn’t put RRR up for foreign film. That’s the reason. Otherwise it should’ve been nominated.
Hong Chau was also in the HBO Watchmen series. Glad she’s finally getting more recognition
All quiet on the western front is a must watch
you should watch all quiet on the western front, incredible movie
I really hope all quiet on the western front wins. It will bring more attention to foreign films especially german ones. They're very overlooked
In regards to Maverick and VFX, I believe that while yes, the actors did legitimately fly in the backseats of fighter jets and yes, a lot of the aerial shots were legit, whenever you see other jets from the cockpit, it’s VFX. I’m sure quite a few aerial shots with multiple jets were also composited too. I’d imagine the Navy didn’t want to risk any sort of accident in production, ESPECIALLY while the actors were in the jets.
Hint: If you compare the first trailer to final trailer, a few of the shots are the same but with updated VFX, whether it be an extra jet in the shot or added terrain. (Also, the final showdown between the F/14 and the SU57s had to have employed a bit of visual effects, since neither of those jets would be able to be used for filming)
Yes, I’m a nerd.
That's why it didn't get a Cinematography nom? But srsly, in all honesty: Then why did the first Avatar get the award? I thought this award was always about what great pictures you can achieve while using the camera in the most advanced and creative way? Srsly, they snubbed the front-runner category just to annoy people who did an incredible amount of work, you can't tell me otherwise. Part of the academy is full of evil people.
@@rafearcher7882 Cinematography is a tricky subject, since I see it as a display of everything on the screen, VFX included. That’s just how I interpret it and how I imagine some academy members see it. In the case of Avatar, VFX is flawless and everyone knows it, but it’s also the compositing of the image that stands out. Every frame knows where to draw your eye and achieves it perfectly. In my opinion that’s great cinematography, but I completely understand if others don’t see it that way.
However I do not disagree with you on Maverick’s cinematography snub. Same should be said for the Batman. The academy this year didn’t really get a grasp on most films in my opinion, and it’s a lot worse than usual. Like seriously, Nope not getting a SINGLE mention? Very disappointed this year.
@@Tobytyty101 So you're basically telling us that Cinematography nowadays has also a lot to do with Art Direction? Good to know. That also explains the nominees.
@@rafearcher7882 I’m not saying definitively. Just saying that’s how I feel about it. It’s hard because generally cinematographers mainly focus on what’s in camera and in frame on the day of shooting. But yeah I think the term cinematography has evolved into an overarching perspective of art direction.
I swear if top gun doesn’t win ima lose it
You need to see All Quiet on the Western Front. It's such a great(but also depressing) war movie. Very brutal as well. (It's german fyi)
Is it as good as the book?
I love your comment about The Goonies and not seeing it till you were older. I’m 30 and haven’t seen it despite it being a major cult classic. It doesn’t really appeal to me but I feel like curiosity will eventually get me to watch it one day.
Hoping Maverick gets the win for best picture, that was my number one movie
I'm still so confused why the Academy loved the story (Adapted Screenplay) but hated the Cinematography 😱
The score of Jordan Peele’s goes so hard, I'm mad it didn't get a nomination for Best Score 😔
I think the biggest shocking surprise for me was best actress, but I’m looking forward to seeing what will win
Ciao papa not being nominated for best song is absolutely outrageous
Song is still on loop in my head (then again I’ve had many songs on loop in my head past few months lol) I’ll even hum it when I’m alone 😅😂
Seriously. The rest of the songs were awful but Ciao Papa honestly deserved to win
Can someone please explain to me how Top Gun Maverick DIDN’T get nominated for cinematography
Gotta watch The Quiet Girl, easily one of the best of the year
Glad to see that there are three movies I’ve seen nominated for best picture. Most of the time the movies nominated for best picture are ones that either I haven’t seen or haven’t heard of.
Hey Sean I thought it was really cool that you took the time to react to the Oscar nominations being announced. I completely agree with you that Baz should’ve been nominated for Best Director for directing Elvis. I thought he did a great job with that film and honestly out of the 10 Best Picture nominees, Elvis was my favorite and I hope it does well on Oscars night.
Totally agree with you Sean on how it is good to see how balanced the best picture nominees are this year, including bigger movies that are just as good cinematic wise as other smaller lesser known movies. Most of the past few years’ nominees haven’t been this balanced so this is good to see
Danielle Deadwyler got sub for best actress is "Till."
RRR got subbed for best picture
The Batman subbed for cinematography
Seeing the horror genre get overlooked time & time again is pathetic
It's one of the few genres making money & driving audiences to theaters and has had some incredible performances to boot.
Top Gun Maverick made more money then the entire Scream Franchise. 😂😂
If they’re gonna do credit songs for Original Song. HELLO! The Weeknds song for Avatar 2 that song evokes huge emotions out of you when the lights come back on after the movie. Also Lift Me Up from BP2 is incredible when it comes to emotion
I just can’t believe they nominated 2 or 3 widely loved block busters for best pictures for ounce.
I have the same opinion on the best original song. I prefer when the academy chooses songs that are relevant to the film. I wish they nominated New Body Rhonba from White Noise this year
Sean, RRR wasn’t nominated because India didn’t choose it as it’s one submission as international film. So in a way, yes it was snubbed! But not at the fault of the academy
Thanks for the clarification but can you explain how Naatu Naatu was nominated for music.
@@barrysmith4610 looks like it only applies to the international film category. So it could still be nominated for other categories (meaning that they really should have had it for best picture!)
@@barrysmith4610 not the same rules
most countries choose a movie to send to the academy for consideration for best international film but if the movie gets a us release you can get nominated in any other category triangle of sadness was swedens entry but did not get nominated but is nominated for best movie becuse it was in us cinemas
From such a monumental year in horror for 2022, I am shocked from the list. Done dirty to say the least
The Batman getting only one nomination shows that the Oscar’s have something against the superhero genre.
The Batman got 3 nominations, makeup, sound and visual effects
@@joshwilson6077 fair enough I was just looking on google but I honestly thought it belonged in the nominations for best picture or at least best cinematography
Didn’t Snyder Cut win something once? Or was it something else. Also Black Panther 1 (for whatever reason) was nominated for Best Picture a few years back. Frankly tho, and imma be honest, superhero movies really aren’t the pinnacle of cinema. You’ll have something amazing like The Batman, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Verse, Infinity War, Logan, or The Dark Knight, but most of the time you’re getting something like Ant-Man - Black Panther - Shang Chi - Aquaman etc. levels of a movie, which aren’t bad movies but simply don’t compare to the artistry of other films like RRR, Everything Everywhere, Banshees, etc.
Ofc you’re welcome to think otherwise. I think other aspects do deserve at least some form of recognition such as the score…
@@NinthShinigami I’m pretty sure ZSJD did win an Oscar for the flash running scene, but it could’ve be people’s choice
I'm actually excited to watch most of the nominated films this year. Unfortunately here in Mexico most Oscar nominees come out until February and March
25:00 Indian Film Federation themselves didn't send RRR for Best International Picture which was a big L. Then they sent RRR for Best Picture and it didn't get nominated. Idk what were they thinking, couldn't they send RRR for both categories like All Quiet on the Western Front? I'm confused, and if they could and they didn't, that's one the biggest Ls of all time
I heard all quite on the western front was awesome
i’m amazed there’s nothing for the menu here, one of the most unique and interesting movies i’ve ever seen
Hey Sean, to answer your question about RRR… each country gets to submit a film to be considered and India submitted a different film. So RRR was unfortunately not eligible for the international film Oscar
This is a life actually has a big part in the film!!! You might not hear the lyrics, but the melody is in all throughout the film
My Top 5 movies of the year worst to best are…
5. Avatar the Way of Water
4. All Quiet on the Western Front
3. Top Gun Maverick
2. RRR
1. The Northman is my Favorite movie since 2020 where Dune was my favorite. 2021 sucked for film compared to this year. I was pleased with 2022 for movies.
Doctor Strange 2 should've been at least nominated for best visuals and I was also pretty disappointed that Pearl and The Menu got snubbed. Not to mention The Northman
aftersun easily shoulda got more nominations, but im happy for Paul mescal
All quiet on the western front is a great international film
You can tell the difference between CGI and realism in Top Gun when you’re an aviation enthusiast like I am 😂
So was there a lot of CGI? I hardly noticed any of it.
@@rafearcher7882 not a lot but there is some. Like the f14 tomcat is completely cgi because it doesn’t fly anymore. The dark star is cgi and sequences where jets get close i.e. the brakes and he’ll fly right by, completely cgi, even scenes in formation too. There are some cool videos about how they made it. There is one video where a real pilot breaks down the whole movie. His name is C.W Lemoine. He also did an interview with the the head of VFX for the film so you should definitely check it out if you haven’t
@@liamstrefford9510 I could have sworn that Tomcat was real. Insane 😵
Another disappointment I would say is The Northman not being nominated for any category this year
yeah man!
I have to admit i disagree with you on the song comment for Hold my hand, as you a big fan of the movie Maverick you obviously didn't notice the instrumental version of it is played throughout the film and its not just an end credit song. Like a Bond theme its a part of the film's score
Decision to leave was the crazy snub in international feature 😭
Of course Top Gun Maverick is an adapted screenplay Sean. They adapted it from Star Wars; A New Hope
