It feels like you're saying there should be more. I have no idea who's been nominated, nor do I know most of the films that came out last year, so I'm out of the loop and would like to know if you have any female director movies you'd recommend in place of who's been nominated.
Barbie was a cultural phenomenon so I would say Greta should at least be nominated. Openheimer was an ok movie in my eyes I didn't see any of the others. I don't personally think Barbie was a great movie not a bad movie but more like a good movie. The fact it gave a voice to so many women should mean something.
You said it, it was a cultural phenomenom, not a great movie. Those are two very separate, very different things. That does not mean that the director of the movie was great. It's more closely related to what Barbie already means (socially) and the marketing campaign.
But why was openheimer nominated, why was Ryan gosling nominated, why were so many movies nominated, not because they're great acting or writing or movies but because the impact they have on society.
Beause it's a better movie. Because he was better than other male actors in movies from 2023. That last one I'm not sure what you're talking about. Which movie was nominated because of its "social impact"?
Oppenheimer is a great movie, though, that's why it was nominated.
