Need to acknowledge that America didn't disappear, she crushed it in Superstore
THE RAINIE SLANDER WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
There’s no chance he’ll read this lol but I feel so compelled to give Zach a huge appreciation for his takes throughout the podcast. As an Indigenous person and Latina, it was very disappointing to see that Margot and Greta not getting nominated completely overshadowed the Oscar’s discourse and didn’t allow us to celebrate Lily Gladstone and America Ferrera’s nominations. It was such a pleasure to see so many BIPOC people nominated across the board who truly deserved it. Not saying Greta and Margot weren’t great, but they were not the best, and they’ll definitely have more opportunities to be nominated and win an Oscar. I understand Kelsey wanting awards to be given to people who’ve been in the industry for a longer time, but we cannot deny people an award just because they’re new if there’s a high likelihood that BIPOC folks will never get nominated or get another huge role again. If it is suggested that the Oscars not be so quick to give awards to new nominees, then there has to be as much energy put into reducing barriers for BIPOC people in the industry. And ironically for me, while I did enjoy the Barbie movie, the lack of an intersectional feminist lens in the movie was the same thing I saw reflected in society during all the Oscars’ conversations. So thank you Zach, from one of your day 1 fans 💚
Love Kelsey sm, but the idea that people who have acted in more high-profile movies deserve an Oscar if they've never won before (instead of a newbie) is 100% why the Oscars have lost their magic. The best performance of the year deserves to win THAT year - that's it!
CONGRATULATIONS TO GARRICK! Such a good writer to have on ‘Rick and Morty’.
I completely agree with Zach in terms of the Greta and Margot outrage. Ryan's performance in the Barbie movie was so obviously more outstanding than Margot's, and even though she was more pivotal to the movie, her performance just wasn't compelling enough to be Oscar-worthy. Those who are upset about Margot and Greta not getting nominated are completely ignoring the fact that this year is an incredible year for women in movies, especially women of color. Just because the movie that is specifically about feminism didn't get nominated for as many awards as people would've liked shouldn't discredit the fact that this was an extremely successful year for feminism in general.
Oh so relieved for Zach’s take on this because I personally became more and more enraged as the upset overshadowed all the other triumphs this Oscar season.
Nice to see Eugene’s Stepdad in the studio. Eugene and Jonathan in one episode plz
I think the thing that’s missing from the Past Lives conversation is that it is, above everything else, the story of being an immigrant and how that changes you as a person. The movie is really just about her wrestling between who she is and who she could have been. That’s part of what makes it so heartbreaking. Not necessarily just her relationship with her childhood best friend.
“I don’t really care about the third act of Oppenheimer” is such an American thing to say. Is giving: let me watch the bomb and not the consequences.
Hot take but Kelsey's give it to the veteran schpiel is low key the attitude that keeps a lot of BIPOC from winning awards. It's hard enough for BIPOC to get in the room in the first place and now you're saying they have to be veterans to win (when even then that wont get you the win i.e. Angela Bassett).
the whole editors bit of Jonathan checking if Francesca Scorsese still follows him.... I died hahahaha
I completely agree with Zach, Margot got nominated as a producer & Greta Gerwig got nominated as a writer & that’s more appropriate than actor & director noms. I thought when Ryan released a statement, it took away from those amazing accomplishments they still achieved!

I am totally with Zach in this one, it's not that Greta and Margot were not good in Barbie they were bested by other directors and actresses in those categories.
Most Likely To Win An Oscar:
I think Zach's point of the Barbie nominations and the fact that the directors are against other directors, and Margot being against other actors, and maybe they were #6, but its the top 5 that make it to the Oscars is so important!
One question for Kelsey, did you think Oppenheimer was a movie about the bomb, or about the actual scientist himself?
America Ferrera’s first role ever was in Real Women Have Curves (an absolutely beautiful film) and then of course Disney’s Gotta Kick It Up. She’s BEEN that girl.
can you guys PLEASEEEEE do Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that movie and America Ferrera in it)
