They nominated Black Panther back in 2019.
Obviously they're not going to nominate an MCU film nowadays, they all suck

I didn't recall seeing one nomination for a MCU film this year
Black Panther 2 was okay but not worth best picture IMO
Oscar nominations announced today for 2024 Academy Awards
The 2024 Oscars follow a year that saw blockbusters "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" pack movie theaters around the world.

Ah shit, I forgot Bohemian Rhapsody got a best picture nom in 2018.
Another good example of something getting nominated not because it deserves it, but because it was popular.

Abominable. Chickenshit exploitation of queerness and public persona, in addition to being formally inept. Every single element of this movie is subpar, lacking in nuance and a solid foundation of existence. All of the reaction shots are gold - everyone is lost: in geography, character motivation, respect of authenticity or even some semblance of cinematic coherence. Nothing is even remotely aware of its functionality. The film is honestly surreal in its dumpster fire hubris. Rami Malek's prosthetic teeth have an agenda of their own, I swear. I would say this is like a modern SNL sketch, but at least they're trying. The fake wigs and cheap costumes are close to a revolting state. Everyone is one take away from either a cigarette break, a tired walk back to their trailer, or off to the local bar. Mike Myers somehow felt compelled to rise from the Hollywood grave for this and not another Shrek installment and it shows. This whole entire circus is hideous, in front and behind the camera. Its editing barely accounts for basic coverage, rhythm, or a sense of continuity. The entire production is falling at the fringes, pleading and begging for the viewer to provide any and all emotional capital, yearning to be genuinely liked and loved in the way Freddie and Queen once were. Can you smell the idiocracy? And once more, the appalling ego in its molded, curdling cry for relevance? Never have I seen such filth laid bare, pre-packaged, sold to the trade papers as a miracle movie even as it offered contractual monetary gain for its weakling pedophillic excuse of a director, and promptly nominated by The Academy, an organization with a stated goal of "advancing the arts and sciences of motion pictures." while "recognizing and upholding excellence." A sickening little bow tied to a corporate love affair. But hey, that Queen band was pretty great, right?

Maybe movies were a mistake.
One of the most astonishing, eccentric performers of all time and this is the insipid, formulaic garbage you give him? Any interest in the nuances and artistry of Queen takes a backseat to making their lives and works fit into a Greatest Hits rise and fall biopic; watch as a painfully self-conscious performance stumbles through a barely dramatized Wikipedia overview in between montages of songs you like being simplified into little digestible, lowest-common-denominator origin stories everyone can pat themselves on the back for knowing. Are we so far removed from Walk Hard that people once again buy these clichés that were tired even before the mid-2000s?
We're talking about a movie that opens on the "cough = terminally ill" bit in the first 10 seconds of its runtime, and what follows is the kind of smarmy, winking writing that results in the horrifying decision to orchestrate a melodramatic push-in on Mike Myers' studio exec just as he says "Queen will never be played on the radio!!" and, even worse, to cynically telegraph Freddie's AIDS [insert spooky, disembodied "~contracting something~" here] years before he even knew just in case you forgot where this was headed. I'm sure its placement directly after a montage of him writing/performing Another One Bits the Dust while strolling through a sea of leather daddies has zero implications too.
Also, I'm sorry but that Live Aid concert recreation that people wouldn't shut up about looks ghastly and Malek's dubbing in it is completely unconvincing. Also also to just cut from Live Aid to "and then he died" (like some real "note: poochie died on the way back to his home planet" shit) ignoring the fact that he made four more f***ing albums and even shot a music video just months before his death is so disrespectful to him as an artist and a person. Especially if you're going to include the line "I'm not going to be their AIDS poster child", like come the f*** on. Just absolute garbage through and through, everyone involved should be ashamed.

New season of Diablo 4 goes live today!
Thinking I'll go with a Necromancer build this time, maybe Barbarian though. Seems like several Barbarian builds are going to be really good this season.
