It’s a fact of life, people love the Oscars most when the film Academy or its members are doing something dumb. Slapping a host. Naming the wrong winner. Singing about bare breasts. That sort of thing.
So it was a good week for the March 10 Academy Awards show. The colossally un-smart snubs of Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig gave millions of Barbie fans something to buzz about. Will Gerwig, nominated as a writer, and Robbie, nominated as a producer, of Best Picture-nominated Barbie, scorch the Red Carpet with zingers about their exclusion as director and star? Will Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera, nominated for supporting roles, show up in pink and wave toy flags in support of their colleagues?
Gosling is already making noise about the snubs. Things are looking up.
Plus we’ve got a good, solid Diversity Challenge. Will Lily Gladstone be the first Native American to win a competitive Oscar (or second, if you are among those still counting Buffy Sainte-Marie) for her performance in Killers of the Flower Moon? Or will she be kept in the wings like Chief Dan George, eclipsed by, say, the brilliant but less under-represented Emma Stone for her performance in Poor Things?
Yet another reason for yet another audience bloc to watch.
Now we need a juicy campaign scandal—like somebody trash-talking somebody else in apparent violation of the rules, leading to a sternly written letter and a board promise to review practices and procedures next time, for sure. It happens every year. That’s what keeps the insiders interested.
And we could use at least one more pre-Oscar outrage by Master of Ceremonies Jimmy Kimmel, who set the blood stirring ten days ago with an especially vibrant anti-Trump rant on his late night show. Post-New

We’re just one month away from the 2024 Oscars and all of the nominees stepped out to celebrate their achievements together at the Oscar Nominees Luncheon!
Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor The 96th annual Oscar nominees luncheon gathered a vibrant crowd of celebrities, filmmakers and cinephiles at the iconic Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. DeVon Franklin, a Board of Governors member, kicked off the event by announcing the roll call of attendees, starting with the esteemed composer Laura Karpman of “American Fiction” and concluding with the talented Robert Downey Jr., nominated for his supporting role in “Oppenheimer.” Here are some of the key takeaways from the event.
Toho International’s Godzilla Minus One – with an Oscar nom and a $2.6 million estimated three-day gross – was no. 10 at the U.S. box office in week 9, and hit a milestone Friday.

A handful of indies bow or expand this weekend as Oscar hopefuls from Poor Things to The Holdovers and American Fiction crowd theaters after nominations earlier this week. Anatomy Of A Fall is getting a big bump. Oppenheimer is back on Imax.
Barbies may stick together in Barbie Land, but in the real world, Margot Robbie is getting a rude awakening.

Barbie-mania took over the world in July 2023, dominating box offices following months of teasers, trailers and incredible marketing.
Ryan Gosling has spoken about his disappointment after Barbie director Greta Gerwig and star Margot Robbie were snubbed in two major categories at the 2024 Oscars nominations.The actor, 43, who was nominated for his supporting role as Ken in the box office hit, said he was “so happy” for co-star America Ferrera, 39, who received a nod for best supporting actress for her performance as Gloria.

nominees. While there are always surprises and snubs, this year’s picks demonstrated that 2024 was an incredible year for movies. In the case of Latino performers and filmmakers, there were a few exciting surprises.
Colman Domingo organized his closet to distract himself, “The Holdovers” actor Paul Giamatti was sound asleep and “Killers of the Flower Moon” breakout Lily Gladstone texted with Leonardo DiCaprio after making history as the first Native American nominee. On the morning of the 2024 Oscar nominations, Variety spoke to this year’s contenders — including “The Holdovers” star Da’Vine Joy Randolph and “Past Lives” director Celine Song — about getting recognized by the Academy. How does it feel to make history with this nomination? It’s truly something that belongs to my community.
Before making Past Lives, writer-director Celina Song says with a laugh, she didn’t even know how to read a call sheet. Flash forward a year, though, from the A24 romantic drama’s world premiere at Sundance, and she’s landed an Original Screenplay nom for her debut feature.
2024 Oscar nominations are here, and the snubs are brutal – including Margot Robbie, Leonardo DiCaprio and more. Many of the nominations were expected: “Oppenheimer” got a total of 13 nods – including “Best Actor” for Cillian Murphy, “Best Supporting Actor” for Robert Downey Jr. and “Best Director” for Christopher Nolan.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor The Oscars nominations might not have given everything the people wanted, but diversity in the acting categories had several high points to celebrate. Lily Gladstone made history as the first Native American nominated for best actress, for her towering role as Mollie Burkhart in the crime thriller “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Colman Domingo became the first Afro Latino nominated in best actor for his powerhouse performance in the civil rights drama “Rustin.” He’s joined by fellow Black nominee Jeffrey Wright for “American Fiction.” This is only the second time in Oscar history where more than one Black actor, who wasn’t either Will Smith or Denzel Washington, was nominated for the leading prize.
