I am pleased that Ke Huy Quan won best supporting actor. I remember him as a child actor in Indiana Jones and also The Goonies.
I enjoyed Everything Everywhere All at Once. DH and I watched it one day last week. It is my kind of film. DH, on the other hand, was rather mystified.

Interesting comments here, I must admit I'd never heard of it and thought perhaps it was a film yet to be released over here. Seems not, already available on Prime. I was having a discussion with my son about films when he phoned me yesterday and we both agreed that these awards are becoming self congratulatory slap on the back fests often bestowing accolades on little known films, that don't appeal to a wider audience. As a young person and more of a cinema goer than me, he said the film that everyone loved last year and made a fortune at the box office was the Tom Cruise Top Gun follow up, I can't comment because I didn't see it. I did however go and see Elvis which I absolutely loved, but as I haven't seen any of the other nominees I have nothing to compare it with. My husband watched All Quiet On The Western Front and said it was quite brilliant but gory, I'll take his word for that. I would like to see The Banshees of Inisherin.

I too have watched a quarter and gave up. Too confusing for me. I expect a sci-fi, kungfu fan would love it.
Are the awards just being politically correct?

I have only seen trailers for it and decided it wasn’t for me..

Must admit I don't understand why there is still so much made of the annual self congratulatory pantomime that is the Oscars. The world of entertainment no longer hangs on every breath in Hollywood. Surely?

Watched it earlier in the year but didn't really enjoy it

Started to watch this on Prime yesterday but gave up. Surprised to read that it's an Oscar winner. I found it to be confused and confusing. Am I missing something?
