EEAAO nominations were pretty obvious and predictable, IMO. It's a feel-good movie that gestures vaguely at profundity. It's a shoo-in.

I really don't like the film, but I do think Stephanie Hsu and Ke Huy Quan deserve their nominations. Wouldn't be mad at either of them winning

yeah, i mean they were already getting noms in all these awards shows, but basically all the cast got a nomination.

Most important of all

WHERE IS TOM CRUISE?

Party over here. 14 nominations for Irish actors and films

Barry Keoghan deserves that best supporting actor Oscar just for being himself. He’s an incredible actor

also James Cameron? Joseph Kosinski?

Keoghan is wonderful yeah. I feel he has to find his definitive role yet. I am very curious about his Joker approach, if that happens.

He’s said his ambition is to get to work in a taika waititi film.

I want him in Star Wars so bad. He’s an incredibly good actor.

I like him a lot but he's never blown my mind with his acting chops. Always seems to play a similar awkward, goofy minor role. Would like to see him as a lead in a good role to cop a better feel. He could be like the next young Jake Gyllenhaal, those kinds of roles. He'd probably be great in a Nightcrawler kind of role.

To use a Bill Simmons phrase, I’m in on the ground floor of Keoghan stock. Sky’s the limit.

The only eligible movies should be ones that released in theaters in Huntsville, AL

I bet your favorite movie is I Am Sam.

when did you buy? Because this is the first time you've ever posted his name. Post-Joker casting. Post-Oscar nom. I think you might be a...bandwagon jumper!

The Argonaut · **Posted:** Tue January 24, 2023 3:05 pm

In fact, before today, me and VG are the only people to mention him on the board (or at least spelled his name right while doing so). Who's the hipster now?

yeah, we are the cool guys with Argo

Best Adapted Screenplay for Top Gun: Maverick? Adapted from what, the first movie?

Same thing with Glass Onion. Are screenplays of sequels considered "adapted" now?

Yeah, original really means original to them. O Brother Where Art Thou was nominated for adapted screenplay because it was based on The Odyssey, lol

Glass Onion getting a nomination is laughable.

Kids amazing though. Such a hard life. Mam died and he went through something like 14 foster homes

tree_ · **Posted:** Tue January 24, 2023 3:28 pm

Ah yeah, he was really good and creepy in Killing of Sacred Deer. Probably my favorite performance I've seen of his.

Are you not not going to watch the Oscars this year?
