Good piece, sticks the landing with a quality Dad-pun. In theory I like the idea that more than prestige Oscar-bait films can win best picture; they don't need to because people can already tell they're prestigious. So while I can't imagine ever seeing this movie a second time and struggled with it the first, I like the idea of it winning more than I like the movie itself. Even if somewhere in the multiverse murk I feel it moves us one step closer to Pomplamoose winning an Oscar.

Wrong supporting actress won
I agree with this on paper but ... seeing Hsu unabashedly cheering for JLC's victory was a nice consolation

Good thread
I liked EEAAO a lot, think it’s the best action comedy since Hot Fuzz etc. but I also think it’s an interesting adaptation of the fantasy of fixing our problems by exploiting another land that we see in things like The Tempest and earlier 20th c sci fi.— Isaac Butler (he/him) (@parabasis) March 13, 2023

I was hoping that someone would have thanked Kathleen Malone of the 2005 Cincinnati IRS office.
