They used to make really great choices before such as nominating First Cow, Never Rarely Sometimes Always, The Master, Uncut Gems, etc. for stuff but I have to say they have GREATLY regressed in the last few years where they just outright refuse to nominate anything that isn't firmly on the bubble and its a huge problem. These are not critics picks by any means and their ignorance toward indie and international films is awful to witness.
I agree. First off let me say this. I am a proud trans woman. All year I have been hyping up the best trans film, Monica, and the best lead actress performance of the year, Trace Lysette in Monica. I was so happy that Trace Lysette and the film were making a strong Oscar push, making the rounds on the news shows and daytime talk shows like The View and The Kelly Clarkson Show, heck Trace Lysette and the film even had an Academy, with Q & A, screening for members of the Academy to attend. As far as reviews go, the film and Trace Lysette got absolutely glowing paise from almost everyone who saw the film, especially critics who adored the film. That being said, as far as award shows go, outside of the Independent Spirit Awards and maybe the Oscars, it seems like, to major award nominnating bodies, the film and Trace Lysette’s groundbreaking performance is just nonexistent. Keep in mind these are the same nominnating bodies that have, in the past, easily given nominations or awards to cis actors or actresses for playing a trans woman.
@Emmathelady I agree with everything you said. This is a strong year in Lead Actress, so if the film Monica simply didn’t make the cut, that’s one thing. But I’d be willing to bet money that the large majority of voters didn’t even bother to watch the film. And that’s another indictment against them.
Who would have thought Golden Globe would do what people think Critics Choice should do. Highly impressed with this year's GG nons and utterly disappointed with CC noms.
I'm not mad about Saltburn making Best Picture. I AM baffled that they did that and then ignored Barry Keoghan's performance. He's the best part of that movie, makes no sense to put it in Best Picture and then not recognize him.
It is almost comical how we referred to “Anatomy of A Fall” and “The Zone of Interest” - two of the greatest films of the year - as “wild cards”. Meanwhile, the critics choice outright refused to even consider them as cards. Hopefully, Neon and A24 will be able to replicate what happened with “Triangle of Sadness” last year - went well with the LAFCA, lost it all come critics choice, but ultimately won at Oscar nomination morning.
@@gabrielcastaneda9700 I honestly am predicting both right now. It might as well be hubris, but I think Gerwig gets snubbed - just like Nolan for Inception - thus giving Triet the nomination. Although, I’d love to see both women get in - not because of their sex, mind you, but because both did some of my favourite films of the year - it’s highly unlikely. Meanwhile, I can’t fathom Cooper getting it. I think the branch will see he’s trying too hard and there are better contenders outside of the US-British system. Haynes would be great, but seeing as he lost nominations at the Globes and critics - both places he got in for Carol - it’s very unlikely. Payne I enjoy, but again can’t see it. He might be empowered by the critic’s nomination to get the DGA - too close to call. I think Glazer is fourth and fifth is a fight between Song, Gerwig and Triet. All could get in, but my heart says Triet, just because Anatomy is my favourite film of the year - from what I’ve seen.

It is fascinating to me how Critics Choice and Golden Globes seem to have swapped reputations ever since GG changed its voting body and what not; GG nominations have become increasingly more interesting, international, and more Film Twitter-esque, while CC has been increasingly more “general Oscar predictions” and GoldDerby-esque, with mostly American films. If you told me in GG’s dark year (2020) that people would celebrate their nominations more than CC in three years, I would have been skeptical, but here we are.
cc Has never been criticy though. It's just a placeholder name. Don't Look Up, Bohemian Rhapshody, Joker... all films that weren't critcially acclaimed got tons of nominations.
Why is America Ferrara was nominated. She wasn’t even the best actress performance of Barbie… Kate McKinnon was better as the weird Barbie and so was Rachel McAdam.
Here’s the crazy thing too about Barbie’s record 18 nominations: If you remove the nominations that the Oscar literally can’t nominate themselves (Comedy, Young Actor/Actress, Cast Ensemble, and a third Original Song), that’s STILL the record matching 14 nominations that EEAAO and Shape of Water got. We might literally have a Barbenheimer match-off at the Oscars this year.
I agree completely. It’s funny to see how many people are saying “well it only beat the record because of the 3 songs” when that is clearly not the case. And if you only count the Oscar eligible nominations at CC for the other 2 movies, Shape of Water got 13 and EEAAO got 12. So Barbie’s 14 Oscar-eligible nominations is still a record-breaker no matter how you look at it. At this point no one can argue this bodes extremely well for its prospects as an undeniable contender for BP at the Oscars.
@@poett8875 I’m extremely curious what the viewership for the Oscars will be next year. We already had an increase last year when blockbusters were nominated. Imagine the increase when two blockbusters are in the conversation to WIN.
I totally agree, but at the same time I think people are surprised because Editing, Supporting Actress for America Ferrera and Score were not expected so far and it was also questionable to get Cinematography (it was not in most people’s top 5)… so with all of that everyone thought it’ll get around 10 nominations at best.
Yeah, but let's get real, Barbie won't get nominated for editing, score and cinematography at th oscars. Its techs are production and costume design only.
Joe Hisaishi is a freakin' legend, it is insane that he has never been nominated for an Oscar for Best Score. They should give it to him just as a recognition of his career.
It's only a matter of time when the Oscars nominate "Peaches" for Best Original Song and have Jack Black performing with his Bowser costume and seeing Christopher Nolan and Martin Scorsese sitting at their seats watching it just facepalming 😂😂
I don’t see the Oscars nominating “Peaches”. While it’s still a possibility, if any novelty song were to get nominated, it’d be “I’m Just Ken”. And even then, I’m not fully convinced that “I’m Just Ken” will get nominated over “Dance the Night”.
Not including a single foreign language movie in the best picture (Anatomy of a fall, Zone of interest), and Screenplay, Directing is absolutely disgusting. Especially considering that this is the same organisation that nominated and awarded Parasite (Directing) back in 2020, and Roma (Best Picture) in 2019.
They already failed by not handing Parasite their Best Picture award. They had one job. And the Bong Joon Ho Director win was a pathetic shared win with Sam Mendes.
Yea critics not nominating the boy and the heron for score isn’t that surprising after last year’s abysmal of a score win list. Imagine best score going last year to a score that didn’t even make short list for Oscar’s. Also spider verse not getting best picture nom feels like some animated films are films bs. Sad to see world of your own from wonka not hear (since I don’t think pure imagination would be able to get nominated since it’s already been in a film). As a composer I really thought the song was fantastic, well written and deserving of a spot in the nominations at the very least.
The best picture lineup I believe is 9/10 from your predictions way back in March for Oscar BP which is crazy. Maybe could’ve been 10/10 had Dune not been delayed.
Critics Choice are not critics, I’ve been trying to tell everyone that. Look into the membership, it’s very American average Joe and Jane. Globes are the ones who added more actual critics and international voters.
at least a year or two ago those american joes and janes still reached out for smaller and international films. So you got cool nominations to uncut gems and like Pig
I loved Saltburn. The visuals, the performances - amazing. I didn't expect it to do well almost anywhere because of the "uncomfortable" scenes, so really happy it is showing up in at least a few categories.
The visuals were really good but it was just way too woke. Those kinds of lifestyle choices should not be shown to the public. Should be kept behind closed doors
18:44 Sadly no “It Never Went Away” by Jon Batiste from American Symphony. The only song from a movie that I was moved to tears, this years. Yes I agree that the song on its own misses the point, just a tiny smidge, but when heard as the credits roll, after watching the documentary “American Symphony”, you understand the the song in its full capacity and, ultimately, how love can withstand anything.
It should win VFX and foreign movie at oscars, should be nominated in a lot of categories but Hollywood won’t accept that movie especially one if is not the best of 2023
Seriously, what happened with the CCA this year? Last year their nominations were inspired, and now they're afraid to leave out people like Carey Mulligan or Jodie Foster.
Leo is going to get in in SAG and Bafta easily, you guys have been underestimating his performance all awards season long. He had the best performance of the year imo, Cilian Murphy too subdued, Bradley Cooper bordering on caricature.
@@dariussalepetru6770 That’s what I’m thinking. But still, Wish did worse critically AND financially. It’d be cool if Nimona, Suzume, and TMNT got nominated.
To be honest, maybe i’m biased as a woman but i am happy to see barbie do so well, even if it is over-performing a little. I felt very emotional watching it in the theatre hahah
truly the most embarassing group that exists, most of them aren't even critics. let's call it the pundits desparately try to predict the oscars awards instead
Saltburn is an excellent film. I can't speak for some of the others yet, as I haven't seen everything in the list yet, but I have to stand by what I think is one of the best films of the year as totally appropriate within the Best Picture line-up.
Saltburn was nominated for Best Picture yet no acting nomination for atleast Barry Keoghan or Rosamund Pike is so devastating. I guess you can't win them all, I'm quite concern how Pike will make it to the Oscars for Best Supporting Actress. I hope she gets it, if she doesn't, oh well whatever I guess 🤷
No acting nomination No directing nomination No writing nomination Not even an editing nomination And yet it STILL made Best Picture??? The CC are truly this year's Globes
@@noteliassmithwell with ten picture slots and only 6 everywhere else its kinda makes sense that something that’s close to getting in other categories could get in the ten. Pike and Keoghan were probably close, likely 7th place in their categories.
It still gives me a chuckle when the boys read the nominations, clearly it's in alphabetical order and guesses names that clearly went past the letters already announced. 😅 Like in Best Picture, it started with American Fiction and ended with Poor Things with 1 more nomination left and Cole circled back to Air and May December as guesses. In Best Actress they do it by last name, so it started with Gladstone yet Cole is still hopeful for Barrino when it sailed past letters A-F already. Other categories may be difficult to pick up snubs if you don't know the last names like in Cinematography or Production Design of which I am not familiar with. At times they can recognize the pattern of the nominations but due to excitement they will often forget it which actually leads to funny reactions of snubs. Can't wait for the ride this season with you boys. 👍
Sad for Keoghan, Pike and Portman. If ever there was a cast that deserved a nom it was Saltburn this year. They were like billiard balls bouncing off each other.
I "loved" Saltburn. It totally hypnotized and stunned me. I also loved May/December. I can't wait to see Zone of Interest. Gotta give it to Brother Bro here for the voice of reason and calming down his hyper other half.
Saltburn is complete garbage, as was Promising Young Woman Emerald Fennell is a rich girl shock jock who has nothing to say with her movies except "look at this shot" or look at this quirky crazy thing my character just did".
Yes I think there will be 19 nominations for Dune part II next year. Mostly due to its cheating song noms for "I'm Just Harkonnen" and "What Was I Messiah For" etc. Also "Road to Fremen" I guess.
How did Critics give top reviews to: All of Us Strangers, but not nominate the film, Andrew Scott, Claire Foy, Jamie Bell, or Paul Mescal? Anatomy of a Fall, but not nominate the film, Justine Triet for Director, Swann Arlaud, or Milo Machado Graner in Supporting? The Zone of Interest, but not nominate the film? Past Lives, but not nominate Teo Yoo? Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret., but do not nominate Rachel McAdams in Supporting actress? The Boy and the Heron, but not nominate the film in Best Picture or composer Joe Hisaishi in Best Score? Like they supposedly love Saltburn, but don't put in Emerald Fennell in Director, Barry Keoghan in Lead, Jacob Elordi, or Rosamund Pike?
I have been saying since barbie came out that it is the favorite to win picture. It's not the top gun maverick of this year, it's the titanic. I just saw oppenheimer for the first time and i would be shocked if it won picture, i dont even think its number two (think thats killers). I am strongly rooting for cillian murphy though. And i think nolan will get director. The thing about this year is there are so many great films so i personally would be happy with many outcomes, but i just strongly think the academy will favor barbie.
I personally disagree with the Titanic comparison, one reason being that Titanic had a very strong ending while Barbie's ending was very messy. In Variety's Actors interview, Margot Robbie said that Greta and Noah wrote the script chronologically without mapping out the structure beforehand, and you can definitely tell that's true from the way it falls apart at the end.
@@daniellepereira7255I agree with you that the script is a little messy, I meant more that it's like Titanic in that it was this huge box office and cultural phenomenon that will also win awards across the board. I also think that a script not being perfect does not disqualify it from winning awards i.e. greenbook and coda. Oscar voters really value heart, a message, and cultural importance these days.
I agree. People will be talking about BARBIE long after Oppenheimer. I saw both on the same day. I've seen BARBIE a total of 3x now, and I have no interest in watching Oppenheimer again.
These nominations were a little shocking just because I know of at least one person who is in this voting body who hated, Maestro, Oppenheimer, Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon and preferred a lot of the movies that were left out.
0 Best Picture nominations for foreign language movies?? When I saw the list I thought it might be an English Language Film category I didn't know about 😂
I'm going to have a difficult time watching the videos this season if it's going to be a bunch of Saltburn bashing.😅It's my 2nd favorite of the year so far, after All of Us Strangers. I've seen it 4 times. After the first viewing, I was a little worried it might not be as much fun on repeat viewings. Since a big part of it is not knowing where it's heading. But honestly, I've enjoyed it more on repeat viewings. I'm always finding different aspects to appreciate. And it's been a lot of fun bringing people and watching them experience it for the first time. Why does a movie have to be deep to be great? The movie is a wickedly funny blast that happens to be very well done. I'm happy Critic's Choice recognized the cinematography and production design. It's easily my favorite of the year in both of those categories, and if there was any justice in the world it would be a shoo-in for those categories at the Oscars. I don't love Saltburn as much as Promising Young Woman, but Emerald Fennell has absolutely upped her filmmaking game. Barry Keoghan and Rosamund Pike should be in the awards conversation. Keoghan is brilliant and Pike is a scene-stealer. Anyway, I fail to see the issue with one awards body showing this some love. Why do they all have to nominate the same things? Saltburn is likely not getting any nominations at the Oscars. It's not their kind of movie. The Zone of Interest will be in Picture and Director there. So it's nice to see it showing up elsewhere.
I'm with you completely. EEAAO broke all those "conventional Oscar movie" standars and now is the same with Barbie and Poor Things. Why wouldn't Saltburn be an Oscar film? It doesn't make any sense. Barry (of courseeee) Pike and Alison Oliver would be a perfect combo for nominations... That said, if we have EEAAO, Barbie and Poor Things, horror films need to be a thing as well...
10 years before 'Barbie' wouldn't have been in the conversation for Best Picture. It would have get Best Costume, Best Production Design, Best Hair and Make-up and Best Song at best. It doesn't deserve Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Score, Best Cinematography, Best Editing at all.
These are good nominations but overall the Golden globes take the cake this year. CCA nominated Barbie way too much, however it’s interesting that six is the magic number. Maestro is a strong contender. I still say the best case scenario is to give killers of the flower moon best picture and Christopher Nolan for best director but will say how things go.😊
@@ClassicalMusic2002 If killers of the flower moon dominates all the critic awards in the coming weeks, and people put it on their top ten list it may have a shot at winning BP and if Nolan wins the directing award at the globes we might get 2 hollywood heavyweights in the top 2 awards, directing and picture. Remember Scorsese is a producer on kotfm and so is nolan on producing, directing and writing oppenheimer. Just saying?
Killers of the Flower Moon is just as good as the other three, Although Poor things is being released in my area on january 5th, two days before the globes, Things can happen, just saying?
These nominations suck. Barbie overnominated, no international movies, saltburn in best movie but barely anywhere else, air in editing. What is this crap
How so? I found some of her choices more fun and interesting than what ended up on that boring ass ballot. She had SpiderVerse as one of her choices for best picture, as well as Fantasia for best actress and Glen Howerton for supporting actor, she nominated American Fiction, The Color Purple and Wonka (while questionable is still more out of left field.) in many categories.
Don’t be afraid to predict people who’ve missed Golden Globe and Critics Choice (thinking of Hong Chau last year). Still keeping a small eye on Taraji P. Henson until SAG, and possibly Penelope Cruz cause Ferrari may have had screener issues
@@gabrielcastaneda9700 nine is an extremely interesting movie in the awards, it got pretty bad reviews and reception but played extremely well in critics choice and golden globes (so its not surprising that penelope was nominated). Looking purely at the nominations, you'd think it was a pretty good movie
The Critics Choice Awards need to remind themselves what they bring to the table that the other organizations don't (those left-field but deserving nods they were so great at) and stop trying to predict the Oscars. They seem to have forgotten that we love them most when they reach out and pluck the underdogs.
As others have said, these are just remarkably punditified. No Howerton or McAdams, no Spiderverse or Boy and the Heron in anything ATL, or even any international films in picture. Now all that being said, does this high level of uninspiration actually reduce their impact on the race? Or does it mean there's just less of a springboard for long-shot competitors to sneak their way in?
from what I understand Critics and Globes have never had an impact on the Oscar race which is why everyone is so mad at CCA this year, because they usually give love to good movies or performances that are too underappreciated to be true contenders or not as mainstream, (like Are you there god? it's me Margaret, all of us strangers, spiderverse, Fair Play, Society of the Snow, The Iron Claw, Zone of Interest, Anatomy of a Fall, May/December to some degree and even Saltburn), but instead this year they decided to nominate the movies we all know are the most likely to get noms come Oscar morning, I believe the true precursors have always been Baftas and SAG along with all the other guilds.
@@Jose-sx4ql That's not true at all. While voter overlap is lower than the other precursors, they are still important to the race. Both offer platforms for competitors to kickstart their awards season with the first televised awards, and CCA can be indicative of what critics are pushing to get voter attention. So yes, it is a failure on the CCA's part both for the sake of rewarding underappreciated works, and for awarding critic's choices.
If Barbie gets nominated at the Oscars in every category that is applicable that it got at the CCs, that’s 14 nominations Picture Director Robbie Gosling Ferrera Og screenplay Cinematography Editing Production design Costume design Score song Song Makeup It’s unlikely that it will get visual effects and sound, 17 is the max that a movie can get, with 4 acting noms and 2 songs
I mean. Their categories are stacked but their "sixth slot" is full of irrelevant choices (Foster, Ferrara over Pike, McAdams) and sure best picture and screenplay are beyond disapponting... Guys, Bradley Cooper is taking his kid to red carpets now and selling sandwiches... The guy is desperate. That type thing of "campaigning" is dull and I hope doesn't make an impact for the mayor awards. This is a very good year in film to just go with the "better campaign" choice instead of the quality. Not very happy that it worked for Jamie Lee Curtis this 2023 still.
All my hopes for Spiderverse just got shattered. I had just started to believe again and this is where it should’ve got in to begin building momentum… and they snubbed it for Color Purple and Saltburn, everything is worse now
@@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719 Sure but I feel like the CCA is the type of place where it could’ve had a chance, I don’t see it getting in at BAFTA for example, maybe PGA?
With the GG and CC, Barbie having the most nominations in both of them. If it wins GG Comedy and CC over Poor Things and The Holdovers. I can see it being like Once Upon A Time In Hollywood where it won there but might not win Picture. I still think Oppenheimer is winning GG Drama and BAFTA. Curious to see if Oppenheimer or Barbie wins PGA or a tie since 2013 when 12 Years A Slave and Gravity tied there.
i’m with the oscar expert here. the critics nominating movies like color purple and saltburn over movies like may december and zone of interest isn’t a good look
I think cailey spainey will be nominated for Oscar because she won volpi cup and the Oscar does not care about who actress get nominated for all awards like GG, Critic choice , bafta and SAG.....and we can see before that Penelope Cruz , Andrea riseborough, Cynthia erivo and Andra day snub one of the award but still can get nominated for Oscar.....Oscar look acting and not based on nominated for all awards
Everyone really should just call this organisation Pundit's Choice. Embarrasing slate of nominations.

at least a year or two ago those american joes and janes still reached out for smaller and international films. So you got cool nominations to uncut gems and like Pig
The only way McAdams can be saved if she gets SAG and BAFTA, and while the second is possible with the jury the first one is hard.
I'm rooting for her
I loved Saltburn. The visuals, the performances - amazing. I didn't expect it to do well almost anywhere because of the "uncomfortable" scenes, so really happy it is showing up in at least a few categories.
The visuals were really good but it was just way too woke. Those kinds of lifestyle choices should not be shown to the public. Should be kept behind closed doors
@@RB-.-oh god shut up
Being "shocking" or "explicit" would also apply with Poor Things (loved it tho) as well... Kind of double standars
I was looking forward to this!!
saltburn over anatomy of a fall
or zone of interest??????

Sadly no “It Never Went Away” by Jon Batiste from American Symphony. The only song from a movie that I was moved to tears, this years. Yes I agree that the song on its own misses the point, just a tiny smidge, but when heard as the credits roll, after watching the documentary “American Symphony”, you understand the the song in its full capacity and, ultimately, how love can withstand anything.
I swear to god if Godzilla Minus One doesnt get a VFX nomination at the Oscars I’m going to be PISSED!
It should win VFX and foreign movie at oscars, should be nominated in a lot of categories but Hollywood won’t accept that movie especially one if is not the best of 2023
Golden globes nominations are so much better
Seriously, what happened with the CCA this year? Last year their nominations were inspired, and now they're afraid to leave out people like Carey Mulligan or Jodie Foster.
Leo is going to get in in SAG and Bafta easily, you guys have been underestimating his performance all awards season long. He had the best performance of the year imo, Cilian Murphy too subdued, Bradley Cooper bordering on caricature.
At least Nimona was nominated for Best Animated Feature so that's nice although I'm confused why the hell Wish was there 🤷
Wish is this year's Frozen 2
@@dariussalepetru6770 That’s what I’m thinking. But still, Wish did worse critically AND financially. It’d be cool if Nimona, Suzume, and TMNT got nominated.
@@Little1Cave _The First Slam Dunk_ over all 3 of those.
@@dariussalepetru6770 frozen 2 is more liked, i feel like its more like boss baby
I just don’t get why so many people are predicting DiCaprio and De Niro will both not get nominated.
To be honest, maybe i’m biased as a woman but i am happy to see barbie do so well, even if it is over-performing a little. I felt very emotional watching it in the theatre hahah
truly the most embarassing group that exists, most of them aren't even critics. let's call it the pundits desparately try to predict the oscars awards instead
Saltburn is an excellent film. I can't speak for some of the others yet, as I haven't seen everything in the list yet, but I have to stand by what I think is one of the best films of the year as totally appropriate within the Best Picture line-up.
Saltburn was nominated for Best Picture yet no acting nomination for atleast Barry Keoghan or Rosamund Pike is so devastating. I guess you can't win them all, I'm quite concern how Pike will make it to the Oscars for Best Supporting Actress. I hope she gets it, if she doesn't, oh well whatever I guess 🤷
No acting nomination
No directing nomination
No writing nomination
Not even an editing nomination
And yet it STILL made Best Picture???
The CC are truly this year's Globes
@@noteliassmithwell with ten picture slots and only 6 everywhere else its kinda makes sense that something that’s close to getting in other categories could get in the ten. Pike and Keoghan were probably close, likely 7th place in their categories.
Saltburn is shock jock crap from hack director Emerald Fennell, her previous movie was also awful and shock bait.
This year I started respecting Golden Globes again, and lost all my respect to Critics’ Choice
18 nominations? Cool it with the Barbie adoration- it wasn't that good!😂
I knew you’d flip out over Saltburn LOL
It still gives me a chuckle when the boys read the nominations, clearly it's in alphabetical order and guesses names that clearly went past the letters already announced. 😅
Like in Best Picture, it started with American Fiction and ended with Poor Things with 1 more nomination left and Cole circled back to Air and May December as guesses.
In Best Actress they do it by last name, so it started with Gladstone yet Cole is still hopeful for Barrino when it sailed past letters A-F already.
Other categories may be difficult to pick up snubs if you don't know the last names like in Cinematography or Production Design of which I am not familiar with.
At times they can recognize the pattern of the nominations but due to excitement they will often forget it which actually leads to funny reactions of snubs.
Can't wait for the ride this season with you boys. 👍
They are trying so hard to make Barbie happen.
I loved Saltburn.. happy to have it here.
Sad for Keoghan, Pike and Portman. If ever there was a cast that deserved a nom it was Saltburn this year. They were like billiard balls bouncing off each other.
I "loved" Saltburn. It totally hypnotized and stunned me. I also loved May/December. I can't wait to see Zone of Interest. Gotta give it to Brother Bro here for the voice of reason and calming down his hyper other half.
Exactly. I actually understood his point of view. Oscar expert wouldn’t even let him get a word in.
Saltburn is this generation's talented mr ripley but ripley was better. And the twist was predictable
Saltburn is complete garbage, as was Promising Young Woman Emerald Fennell is a rich girl shock jock who has nothing to say with her movies except "look at this shot" or look at this quirky crazy thing my character just did".
I was waiting for this video lol.
Fun stuff.
Yes I think there will be 19 nominations for Dune part II next year. Mostly due to its cheating song noms for "I'm Just Harkonnen" and "What Was I Messiah For" etc. Also "Road to Fremen" I guess.
How are song noms cheating?
Also the Sand Worm as Best Supporting Actor
😂
Saltburn is the poorman kind hearts and coronets
How did Critics give top reviews to:
All of Us Strangers, but not nominate the film, Andrew Scott, Claire Foy, Jamie Bell, or Paul Mescal?
Anatomy of a Fall, but not nominate the film, Justine Triet for Director, Swann Arlaud, or Milo Machado Graner in Supporting?
The Zone of Interest, but not nominate the film?
Past Lives, but not nominate Teo Yoo?
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret., but do not nominate Rachel McAdams in Supporting actress?
The Boy and the Heron, but not nominate the film in Best Picture or composer Joe Hisaishi in Best Score?
Like they supposedly love Saltburn, but don't put in Emerald Fennell in Director, Barry Keoghan in Lead, Jacob Elordi, or Rosamund Pike?
Please don’t make Saltburn a thing this awards season.
I have been saying since barbie came out that it is the favorite to win picture. It's not the top gun maverick of this year, it's the titanic. I just saw oppenheimer for the first time and i would be shocked if it won picture, i dont even think its number two (think thats killers). I am strongly rooting for cillian murphy though. And i think nolan will get director. The thing about this year is there are so many great films so i personally would be happy with many outcomes, but i just strongly think the academy will favor barbie.
I personally disagree with the Titanic comparison, one reason being that Titanic had a very strong ending while Barbie's ending was very messy. In Variety's Actors interview, Margot Robbie said that Greta and Noah wrote the script chronologically without mapping out the structure beforehand, and you can definitely tell that's true from the way it falls apart at the end.
@@daniellepereira7255I agree with you that the script is a little messy, I meant more that it's like Titanic in that it was this huge box office and cultural phenomenon that will also win awards across the board. I also think that a script not being perfect does not disqualify it from winning awards i.e. greenbook and coda. Oscar voters really value heart, a message, and cultural importance these days.
Barbie is not the favorite to win Best Picture lmao
I agree. People will be talking about BARBIE long after Oppenheimer. I saw both on the same day. I've seen BARBIE a total of 3x now, and I have no interest in watching Oppenheimer again.
These nominations were a little shocking just because I know of at least one person who is in this voting body who hated, Maestro, Oppenheimer, Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon and preferred a lot of the movies that were left out.
The Globes are now officially cooler than Critics Choice 💯
SUBSCRIBED. Love from ASSAM, India...😊😊😊🤩
0 Best Picture nominations for foreign language movies??
When I saw the list I thought it might be an English Language Film category I didn't know about 😂
I'm going to have a difficult time watching the videos this season if it's going to be a bunch of Saltburn bashing.😅It's my 2nd favorite of the year so far, after All of Us Strangers. I've seen it 4 times. After the first viewing, I was a little worried it might not be as much fun on repeat viewings. Since a big part of it is not knowing where it's heading. But honestly, I've enjoyed it more on repeat viewings. I'm always finding different aspects to appreciate. And it's been a lot of fun bringing people and watching them experience it for the first time. Why does a movie have to be deep to be great? The movie is a wickedly funny blast that happens to be very well done. I'm happy Critic's Choice recognized the cinematography and production design. It's easily my favorite of the year in both of those categories, and if there was any justice in the world it would be a shoo-in for those categories at the Oscars. I don't love Saltburn as much as Promising Young Woman, but Emerald Fennell has absolutely upped her filmmaking game. Barry Keoghan and Rosamund Pike should be in the awards conversation. Keoghan is brilliant and Pike is a scene-stealer. Anyway, I fail to see the issue with one awards body showing this some love. Why do they all have to nominate the same things? Saltburn is likely not getting any nominations at the Oscars. It's not their kind of movie. The Zone of Interest will be in Picture and Director there. So it's nice to see it showing up elsewhere.
I'm with you completely. EEAAO broke all those "conventional Oscar movie" standars and now is the same with Barbie and Poor Things. Why wouldn't Saltburn be an Oscar film? It doesn't make any sense. Barry (of courseeee) Pike and Alison Oliver would be a perfect combo for nominations... That said, if we have EEAAO, Barbie and Poor Things, horror films need to be a thing as well...
Liking a movie that isn't complete garbage usually makes that kinda experience less difficult.
10 years before 'Barbie' wouldn't have been in the conversation for Best Picture. It would have get Best Costume, Best Production Design, Best Hair and Make-up and Best Song at best.
It doesn't deserve Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Score, Best Cinematography, Best Editing at all.
Just say youre sexist and a hater and f off
Honestly the Barbie nominations are overkill, a good movie but they're really overdoing it
Globes made me so hopeful for The Zone of Interest😞
These are good nominations but overall the Golden globes take the cake this year. CCA nominated Barbie way too much, however it’s interesting that six is the magic number. Maestro is a strong contender. I still say the best case scenario is to give killers of the flower moon best picture and Christopher Nolan for best director but will say how things go.😊
At this point I don't remotely see KOTFM winning best picture.
@@ClassicalMusic2002 If killers of the flower moon dominates all the critic awards in the coming weeks, and people put it on their top ten list it may have a shot at winning BP and if Nolan wins the directing award at the globes we might get 2 hollywood heavyweights in the top 2 awards, directing and picture. Remember Scorsese is a producer on kotfm and so is nolan on producing, directing and writing oppenheimer. Just saying?
@@joecalahan4068 I just really don’t see a scenario in which KOTFM beats Oppenheimer, Barbie and Poor Things at the Oscars.
Killers of the Flower Moon is just as good as the other three, Although Poor things is being released in my area on january 5th, two days before the globes, Things can happen, just saying?
Didn't Barbie get the most GG noms since the 1970s? Don't know what your point is.
Barbenhimer is happening the Oscar’s will want people to watch and a lot of people saw those movies so this will get them to watch
"Visual learner..." lmao I love Brother Bro
I feel bad for Oppenheimer, especially since they'll win Visual Effects everywhere but the Oscar's (they were ommitted by the Academy)
These nominations suck. Barbie overnominated, no international movies, saltburn in best movie but barely anywhere else, air in editing. What is this crap
"do you wanna turn that dow- NO" LMAOOOO
When Grace Randolph is a critic, you know wat to expect lmao
How so? I found some of her choices more fun and interesting than what ended up on that boring ass ballot. She had SpiderVerse as one of her choices for best picture, as well as Fantasia for best actress and Glen Howerton for supporting actor, she nominated American Fiction, The Color Purple and Wonka (while questionable is still more out of left field.) in many categories.
😮
That woman's "respectability" is on the floor when you have somebody being the way she is with Jessica Chastain... Awful person
@jesusangelespinosasalgado9430 How can someone not like Jessica Chastain? Jealous, maybe?
Past Lives, Zone of Interest are my favorites….
I gasped when you said where is Rachel McAdams? because she was so great in Are you there God?
The first time I think I’d say the Globes are way WAY better. They actually took risks.
Don’t be afraid to predict people who’ve missed Golden Globe and Critics Choice (thinking of Hong Chau last year). Still keeping a small eye on Taraji P. Henson until SAG, and possibly Penelope Cruz cause Ferrari may have had screener issues
I have Efron or Scott being a surprise at the Oscar’s
Ferrari premiered in September in Venice. What screener issues?!
cruz is really strong at the academy, she can get in without ANY precursors like in parallel mothers
@@marcochen9117 they nominated her for nine
@@gabrielcastaneda9700 nine is an extremely interesting movie in the awards, it got pretty bad reviews and reception but played extremely well in critics choice and golden globes (so its not surprising that penelope was nominated). Looking purely at the nominations, you'd think it was a pretty good movie
The Critics Choice Awards need to remind themselves what they bring to the table that the other organizations don't (those left-field but deserving nods they were so great at) and stop trying to predict the Oscars. They seem to have forgotten that we love them most when they reach out and pluck the underdogs.
As others have said, these are just remarkably punditified. No Howerton or McAdams, no Spiderverse or Boy and the Heron in anything ATL, or even any international films in picture.
Now all that being said, does this high level of uninspiration actually reduce their impact on the race? Or does it mean there's just less of a springboard for long-shot competitors to sneak their way in?
from what I understand Critics and Globes have never had an impact on the Oscar race which is why everyone is so mad at CCA this year, because they usually give love to good movies or performances that are too underappreciated to be true contenders or not as mainstream, (like Are you there god? it's me Margaret, all of us strangers, spiderverse, Fair Play, Society of the Snow, The Iron Claw, Zone of Interest, Anatomy of a Fall, May/December to some degree and even Saltburn), but instead this year they decided to nominate the movies we all know are the most likely to get noms come Oscar morning, I believe the true precursors have always been Baftas and SAG along with all the other guilds.
@@Jose-sx4ql That's not true at all. While voter overlap is lower than the other precursors, they are still important to the race. Both offer platforms for competitors to kickstart their awards season with the first televised awards, and CCA can be indicative of what critics are pushing to get voter attention. So yes, it is a failure on the CCA's part both for the sake of rewarding underappreciated works, and for awarding critic's choices.
If Barbie gets nominated at the Oscars in every category that is applicable that it got at the CCs, that’s 14 nominations
Picture
Director
Robbie
Gosling
Ferrera
Og screenplay
Cinematography
Editing
Production design
Costume design
Score
song
Song
Makeup
It’s unlikely that it will get visual effects and sound, 17 is the max that a movie can get, with 4 acting noms and 2 songs
I think Ferrera is the easiest to cut out, supporting actress is very strong and in my opinion she doesn’t come close to the other performances
If wish gets nominated at the Oscar’s and the peasants doesn’t, I’m gonna throw a fit
Not for Animated Film! Not happening
Wish is 100% getting nominated for Original Song like Frozen 2
_The First Slam Dunk_ is my 2023 NGNG.
I mean. Their categories are stacked but their "sixth slot" is full of irrelevant choices (Foster, Ferrara over Pike, McAdams) and sure best picture and screenplay are beyond disapponting... Guys, Bradley Cooper is taking his kid to red carpets now and selling sandwiches... The guy is desperate. That type thing of "campaigning" is dull and I hope doesn't make an impact for the mayor awards. This is a very good year in film to just go with the "better campaign" choice instead of the quality. Not very happy that it worked for Jamie Lee Curtis this 2023 still.
All my hopes for Spiderverse just got shattered. I had just started to believe again and this is where it should’ve got in to begin building momentum… and they snubbed it for Color Purple and Saltburn, everything is worse now
These are the CCAs. Spiderverse can still rebound.
I see Spider-Verse getting in at the Oscars long before Saltburn does
@@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719 Sure but I feel like the CCA is the type of place where it could’ve had a chance, I don’t see it getting in at BAFTA for example, maybe PGA?
@@briantwiss9078 Yea me too, but I don’t think I see it above The Color Purple, Anatomy of a Fall, Zone of Interest and perhaps May December anymore
Rest in peace Across The Spider-Verse… 😔
With the GG and CC, Barbie having the most nominations in both of them. If it wins GG Comedy and CC over Poor Things and The Holdovers. I can see it being like Once Upon A Time In Hollywood where it won there but might not win Picture. I still think Oppenheimer is winning GG Drama and BAFTA. Curious to see if Oppenheimer or Barbie wins PGA or a tie since 2013 when 12 Years A Slave and Gravity tied there.
Im still standing that either andrew Scott or zac Efron will be the 5th slot in best actor at the Oscar’s
really random but you guys are almost to 50K subs, you guys are the best! 🫡
i’m with the oscar expert here. the critics nominating movies like color purple and saltburn over movies like may december and zone of interest isn’t a good look
Why? If the majority of the voters liked those movies over may December and zone of interest it was fair. Film taste is subjective.
Golden Globes refugees ended up in the Critics Choice jury
I think cailey spainey will be nominated for Oscar because she won volpi cup and the Oscar does not care about who actress get nominated for all awards like GG, Critic choice , bafta and SAG.....and we can see before that Penelope Cruz , Andrea riseborough, Cynthia erivo and Andra day snub one of the award but still can get nominated for Oscar.....Oscar look acting and not based on nominated for all awards
It's gonna be a pink Sunday
Saltburn over spiderverse is such a shit decision. So weird considering they didn't even to nominate any actors from Saltburn either
Recently, awards season has become more about pandering to the masses, and I don’t like it
Bad bad bad choices
the globes were so much more interesting
Haven’t seen any of these movies :(
21:14
As much as I enjoyed Spider-Verse, I have no problem with it not being nominated. May December though!!! Unbelievable.
The boy and the heron will upset Spider-man across the spiderverse for the win in animated feature. Barbie missed out on visual effects.
They’re not gonna reward an adult animated film for the win as history shown throughout the years
😮
Barbie is now the big flash while Oppy is the quiet alternative
