I feel like Sinners and Marty Supreme point to a possible bright future for Hollywood, while One Battle points back to the past (even though I like it more than Sinners and Marty), so I'm hopeful these two will get more awards than OBAA</br>And I'm so happy that Secret Agent has 4 nominations, cause I think it deserves best foreign language and best actor (even though I love Chalamet's performance, too)

I guess I'm a little surprised to see F1 in there. Other than that, it's pretty straight ahead.

I felt like Jesse Plemons deserved at the very least a nomination for his acting!

It's shameful that Sorry, Baby was completely left out here.
