On Thursday, Jan. 23, the nominations for the 97th Oscars were announced, and we have opinions. Here are picks and predictions from some of our Arts and Culture editors and staff.
Without fail, awards season always stirs controversy — whether it’s a physical altercation, a movie snub or a misallocated award. That being said, it seems almost fitting that this year the drama is entirely political, centering around the film Emilia Pérez. The movie has garnered incredible support from critics, receiving 10 Golden Globe nominations, two Cannes awards and 13 Oscar nominations — including the three highly coveted awards of Best Director, Best Picture and Best Leading Actress. However, many audience members are unabashedly sharing their dislike for the musical comedy. With the all-Spanish film following a transgender cartel leader, it’s clear how numerous the potential risks are.
