1. So if I'm reading Ross right, he's mad that CODA won and Dune didn't. Now, I like Dune quite a bit but it's worth thinking about why Dune wasn't really in the running despite being in the (longish) nomination list.https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/1508950829885235200 …

3. The Academy likes to reward "sweet-natured little movies" and rarely rewards big budget fantasy/sci-fi with best picture (the big modern exception is the last Lord of Rings, which has the sanction of being seen as capital-L Literature)

4. In addition to being a sci-fi spectacle, Dune is also only half a movie (2nd part might have more of a shot) but also humanely remote. It's all about awe & grandeur & not, as the kids say, relatable (unless you're a genetic superman/messiah).

5. Anyways,
@bellye66 and I argue about various Oscar stuff -- the slap, of course, but also who won and why, Campion's triumph, Dune versus CODA etc.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/podcast-the-slap-heard-round-the?r=bh54&s=w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email …Show this thread

Well, the cinematography, sound design, and music were fantastic. The writing + the acting were not always fantastic.

I spent hours thinking about Dune before it was released and about ten minutes thinking about it after I saw it.

If you spent ten minutes thinking about it afterwards you didn't see the movie...the design and cinematography alone...In your case Dune must've been swapped out last minute for Starship Troopers. Ask for a refund.

It’s half a movie. It’s a terrific half a movie, maybe the best-made of the list! It deserved to sweep the technical awards! But it’s still half a movie.

I didn't think it would win either but then it swept the technicals (justifiably!) But not nominating Denis for Best Director was a tell

coda was a feel good story with a charismatic cast. dune was a lot of big names, but(sorry not sorry), a slog of a show. after the past few years, people crave hope
