Oscar nominations are out. Sinners breaks the record with 16 nominations - VIV January 22, 2026, 8:47:58

I watched Train Dreams over the weekend. Great performances but fast paced it was not. - PapaDels January 26, 2026, 14:57:31
- I agree. I sorta fell asleep in the middle for like 5 mins * - MC January 26, 2026, 16:40:44
If I Had Legs I Would Kick You was a truly miserable 2 hour experience. - OB25 January 26, 2026, 14:53:54

- Also is Ryan Coogler a huge TNG fan? - CanHartlebHireSnider January 22, 2026, 10:18:33
Sinners was my favorite movie in the past few years but even I think it’s overrated. * - MC January 22, 2026, 10:00:57
- yeah, i dont think it's worthy of being the most nominated film of all time* - VIV January 22, 2026, 10:09:12
  - I definitely like how it crosses multiple movie genres - Sounder January 22, 2026, 10:17:33
  - There's more categories than ever before. I think "Best Casting" is new this year, among others.* - Warrin'_Illini January 22, 2026, 10:12:23
    - woke "everyone gets a trophy" mindset. * - VIV January 22, 2026, 10:16:53
      - I know you're joking, but best casting sounds like a pretty good category* - Sounder January 22, 2026, 10:34:34
I've seen Bugonia and Sinners - Sammich January 22, 2026, 9:27:52

Sinners was at least mildly overrated. Really good and I enjoyed it but... - Tuscy January 22, 2026, 9:01:36
- i thought sinners was just "pretty good" the first time i saw it - VIV January 22, 2026, 9:39:06
- I'm a bad person. I watched the first half hour and got bored. Planning on finishing it eventually* - Warrin'_Illini January 22, 2026, 9:02:59
  - It was fine. From dusk till dawn was better. - uofi1998 January 22, 2026, 9:59:58
    - oh god, no. sinners >>> fdtd by a brazilian. * - VIV January 22, 2026, 10:07:22
    - LOL. I thought OBAA was hilarious and riveting. - Warrin'_Illini January 22, 2026, 10:07:17
Nice. Time for PTA to finally take one home. - Warrin'_Illini January 22, 2026, 8:57:40
- Did NCFOM win the There will be blood year?* - gvibes January 22, 2026, 9:56:28
  - Yes indeed. 14 noms, no wins.* - Warrin'_Illini January 22, 2026, 9:59:12
Any of these worth watching? I haven't even heard of them. Can't believe they misspelled "Hamlet." - doubledown January 22, 2026, 8:57:35
