I've been surprised by the criticism that Michelle Williams has earned in some quarters.

too many uniforms, battles, trenches and dead people without any relief. I wonder if this will receive a Best Picture nomination tomorrow

Seems likely, given its strong showing on the craft category shortlists and in the BAFTA nominations.

I think so, yeah. AFAIK, only seven sequels have been nominated before: The Bells of St. Mary's (1945), both Godfather sequels (1974, 1990), both Lord of the Rings sequels (2002, 2003), Toy Story 3 (2010), and Mad Max: Fury Road (2015).

Some trivia:
-John Williams, at 90, is now the oldest-ever Oscar nominee, for The Fablemans score (was James Ivory, 89, for Call Me by Your Name script)
-Judd Hirsch has the longest gap between nominations, at 42 years between Ordinary People and The Fablemans (was Henry Fonda, 41 years between The Grapes of Wrath and On Golden Pond)
― jaymc, Tuesday, 24 January 2023 15:27 (one year ago) link
Something I kept meaning to post somewhere -- I was really intrigued/surprised to see that The Menu had massive legs, at least in my neck of the woods. End of the year at my local Alamo was essentially only Avatar, Babylon (which had just gotten released) and The Menu, and in the latter case we're talking multiple screenings a day throughout the day. All the other November films of any stripe, big or small, were long gone.

Its overall chances faded quite a while ago. It probably had the best shot at a screenplay nomination, and might've gotten it if not for the All Quiet on the Western Front momentum.

The Menu's been playing at Miami multiplexes since Thanksgiving. Several students have watched it, which, given their usual inclinations, surprised me.
