Nominations Tue 24.Jan.23 • Awards Sun 12.Mar.23

Rich's comments: After last year's chaotic ceremony, it looks like the Academy is returning to something more traditional, bringing back Jimmy Kimmel as host and reenstating the categories they presented earlier. So while it might be a bit dull, at least it will be in a safe pair of hands. As for the nominations, the snubs are startling, ignoring Decision to Leave as well as female directors and composers, which almost left Aftersun out (although Paul Mescal's nomination got a cheer from me). The also only barely nodded to the triumphant RRR while giving Top Gun: Maverick far, far too much attention (that screenplay?). The winners look like they'll be rather predictable, but on the big night I'll be rooting for Michelle Yeoh and Everything Everywhere All at Once to take, well, everything.
