With Ireland getting in, fourth year in a row there’s a new country represented in International Film. Ireland is having a great year altogether with Aftersun, Banshees, Quiet Girl and An Irish Goodbye all nominated.

No animated films outside the animated categories too. When was the last time that happened?

Knives Out and Glass Onion both are lone nominees in screenplay. I thought the Before trilogy did this too but only Before Midnight got a nomination.

I just love movies. And awards.

This years Best Picture lineup is the 2nd highest grossing of all time. The 10 nominees combined have accumulated $3.99B globally.

The record is held by the 2010 lineup which has grossed a total of $4.84B globally.

Notably, both Avatar movies were part each respective lineup.

The streak continues: All of Iñárritu’s films that have been elegible have gotten at least one nomination. Many thought Bardo would end the streak.

Unfortunately that’s not as impressive when you consider Top Gun and Avatar combined make up $3.5B of the $4.0B.

Another thing I observed…

All Quiet on the Western Front is adapted from the novel but there was an Oscar-winning English movie so technically, four of the five adapted screenplay nominees are from movies.

I just love movies. And awards.

Is it the first time in oscar history that 16 out of the 20 acting nominees got their first nomination in one year? Especially for Best Actor, all five are first timers.

All Quiet on the Western Front is the first non-English language film nominated for Best Visual Effects, leaving Best Supporting Actor the only category LEFT that has yet to nominate a non-English language film.

First time two sequels have ever been nominated together in Best Picture (“Top Gun: Maverick” & “Avatar: The Way of Water”).

“Naatu, Naatu” is the first Telugu song to ever receive a Best Original Song nomination in Academy history.

Angela Bassett is the first actress to ever receive an acting nomination for a performance in a Marvel movie.
