I seem to have a lot of catching up to do

Oscar nominations, snubs and surprises
Noteworthy: Sinners was nominated for 16 Oscars, the all-time record. (Good for Delroy Lindo, deserving, but surprising.) Wicked For Good got no nominations, although the prequel had received ten! Oscar nominations Snubs and surprises Razzie nominations Share via: Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn More
The longest nude careers
Thanks to everyone who researched this topic (see the comments section) 1. The span between Stefanie Powers’ first and last scenes was 50 years (1970-2020, ages 28-78), despite a late start.

“Good movie” and “Oscar bait” have been forking off from each other since at least Crash and Shakespeare in Love. I think it’s just their way of getting us to buy tickets to crap by telling us we *should* like it.

“As American as apple pie and anti-authoritarianism”
Not sure if this was a joke. A huge chunk of the country is incredibly pro authoritarian. Especially those who flaunted how much they were anti for years. Cowards.
I’ll never understand why these types of lists come out before the year is actually over. It’s not like there aren’t any more movies coming out this year.
