The Oscars said nope to Nope, distilled RRR to a single song, and forgot about women directors (again) - here's the good, the bad, and the ugly of 2023's Oscar nominations
are finally out and that means the 2022-2023 awards season is heading into its resurged finale. After two years where The Academy’s intense additions to its ranks attempted to curb some of its less palatable tendencies towards the familiar, white and generically prestigious, this year’s nominees seem to reflect a regression—a return to the status quo.
As we head backwards one or more steps for every step taken forward, we’ve got some of the same issues we’ve always got with the Oscars. For every excellent nomination, every interesting piece of recognition, there’s the predictable nonsense that conned its way in. There’re the games played in the highly specialized categories of Original Song, and of the short films. There are the odd gambles made when deciding which acting award to seek. It’s certainly not a bad year, however.
