I was tempted to research the history of American Buffalo on Broadway today since so many big stars have starred in productions of it over the years, and I discovered that every single production had at least one Oscar nominee or winner in the cast:

Robert Duvall (1977)
Al Pacino (1984)
Haley Joel Osment (2008)
Sam Rockwell (2022)
Laurence Fishburne (2022)

Of course David Mamet is an Oscar nominee as well.

I’m dumbfounded and appalled that the new film adaptation of Cinderella is among this year’s nominees. That film has some of the laziest, most unfocused choreography I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m not at all kidding when I say that my middle school’s production of Cinderella back when I was in 8th grade in the fall of 2003 had better acting, singing, directing, and choreography than Kay Cannon and James Corden’s piece of garbage.
