A lot of people are talking about how Disney didn't get nominated for their flagship 100th animated feature, Wish. Which is a big deal, I am not disputing that. This was a stellar year for animation and the academy had a glut of good options that did not include Wish. (I would have liked makoto shinkai's Suzume to be nominated but...)

But I want to talk about something else that is probably sticking in Disney's craw.

None of their Animated movies, in particular Wish, were nominated for "best original song."

Starting in 1940 with "when you Wish upon a Star", Disney's animated features could be counted upon to receive a nomination for best original song often winning the Honor. This includes movies such as Bambi; Saludos Amigos; Cinderella, and that racist mess that Disney would like you to forget, Song of the South. Even during the years after Walt's death a bunch of songs were nominated from things like Pete's Dragon and The Rescuers. But it wasn't until The Little Mermaid and the animation Renaissance that Disney's almost stranglehold and expectation that they're animated films would get nominated for an Oscar for best song really came into the forefront.

Take a walk through the best song nominations from 1989 to now and pretty much the majority of Disney and/or Pixar movies put out in those years has a best song nomination. There are a few exceptions, there always are, but generally when Disney includes original songs in its Animated properties it gets nominated.

That makes this year so odd. Disney technically has a nomination with Diane Warren's song for Flamin' Hot, which I suspect has more to do with the fact that the academy loves to nominate Diane Warren and then never give her the Oscar. ~_^ The big thing I noticed was that there were no nominations for Wish or even Elemental. And even more crucially, there was no one setting up a hue or cry that these movies (particularly Wish) didn't get nominated for best song.

Wish had all of the ingredients to be both an Oscar Bait for best animated feature and best original song. And the academy ignored it.

And frankly, I think this is 100% deserved. Wish was an okay movie. It wasn't good it wasn't bad it was just okay. And it's songs were forgettable.

Worse than that, in my opinion, they were unsingable. And what I mean by that is the songs were so complex so lyrically and musically difficult that a four-year-old in a princess dress would struggle to sing them. There were too many jumps and the lyrics were incredibly tongue twisty and they even sounded difficult for an accomplished singer like Ariana DeBose to sing. Seriously, the chorus of This Wish has so many jumps and drops that it is almost impossible to stay on key and also follow the melody. The music is just there.

When I walked out of the theater, I couldn't remember any of the songs. I still can't. And as most of my friends can tell you I have a bloody musical memory. I remember songs.

The first time I saw Barbie, I had three of the songs (What was I made for, I'm just Ken, and Pink) wrestling for dominance over who was going to be my earworm for the day. The same thing was true with Frozen, Moana, Encanto, beauty and the Beast, and even Tarzan. I still can't remember the music from Wish at all. To even write this, I had to go on YouTube and listen to the songs. And after listening to them, I still can't sing them. But just typing "I'm just Ken" has put that song in my head.

So rather than just celebrating Wish being excluded in a very good year for animation (it was so good, y'all) we should also be laughing and pointing that the Disney's attempts at getting a best song nomination for that movie also went unheeded.

Because I sure am.

🚨 Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza:

—

The ground aid reaching the north of the Gaza Strip is very, very minimal. It is not enough for anyone.

This assistance comes from two main routes: firstly, Salah Al-Din Street, where there is a roundabout constructed by Kuwait, so it is named Kuwait Roundabout. The other location is the Sea Street at the Al-Nablusi Junction, named after a sweet shop opened by a freed prisoner from the West Bank in the Gaza Strip.

Hungry people gather at these two spots (Kuwait Roundabout and Nablusi Roundabout) hoping to get any food. Bombing of these gatherings of hungry people has become a daily routine practiced by the occupation and witnessed by the international community on their screens.

Hunger will ravage all the inhabitants of northern Gaza. The aid is too little. The cost of a meal could mean certain death.

Help the people of the north; do not leave them prey to hunger, bombing, and disease.

Doctors will die. The nurses there will die. And the world will witness the largest number of victims of hunger in the coming days if you do not act today to save us. We will all die.

those crying about margot robbie not getting an oscar nom are the same people that haven’t acknowledged america ferrera’s first ever oscar nomination. it’s very telling…

As I said, Ryan didn’t deserve that nomination. And if I’m honest, neither did Margot Robbie or America Ferrera. I like them both but their performances on Barbie aren’t even close to comparable with the line up of performances this year. Like, I can name you two or more actresses that deserved an spot on Best Leading Actress before Margot Roobie.

And I don’t think she cares all that much. She pushed this movie to be more about her as the movie producer. I am sure she is fine with the billion dollars it made and her bonuses. Barbie getting a Best Picture nomination is a win for her and her production company. The moment I saw people quoting Taylor Swift over Margot not being nominated while throwing the rest of the actresses nominated under the bus just tells me everything I need to know about this brand of “feminism” being hysterical over it.

Let’s talk about Greta Lee’s snub. Or Teyana Taylor for A Thousand and One. Or Fantasia for The Color Purple. Let’s speak on Lily Gladstone being the first Native American woman from the US to ever be nominated at the Oscars for Leading Actress. But this whole award season has been about the internet crying and hyping white woman instead of the women of color. This year was great for black woman on TV, especially when it comes to the comedy genre.

With this being said, Greta Gerwig did deserve her Best Director nomination but so did Celine Song for Past Lives and she’s not even being mentioned in the conversation by the so called feminists that are tired of men taking the noms. Also so tired of some acting like Justine Triet didn’t deserve her nomination for Anatomy Of A Fall. People are being so disrespectful to her.

Lastly, I celebrate America‘s nomination as part of the Latino community and I’ll just pretend she was nominated for her debut Real Women Have Curves (2002) which she deserved way back. She won’t win. But I am happy for her getting that recognition for her years of craft.

One of the best-loved Christmas songs was written by a Jew, Irving Berlin. He wrote it for the now-classic 1942 film Holiday Inn—but it was not intended to be the movie's big hit. That honor was to go to "Be Careful, It's My Heart," another Berlin tune. But "White Christmas," introduced by Bing Crosby, was the public's choice. It also won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

278 - Annette

Coming out of the COVID-led doldrums of 2020, the Cannes Film Festival loomed large as a "movies are back!!" starting gate for global cinema. Its opening film, Annette, was a long-in-development rock opera with music by cult fave Sparks and directed by visionary auteur Leos Carax, returning to the Croisette with his first film in nearly a decade. With Adam Driver at the helm as a batboy shock jock comedian who falls in love with opera star Marion Cotillard to disastrous results, the film is a bizarre fantasia about destructive creative ego and features a puppet as the titular baby singer. Though the film drew raves and buzz around Driver and Sparks' score, Annette was alas too freaky for the Academy.

This week, we talk about Driver's career and how his unique physicality makes him a worthy successor to Carax's usual collaborator Denis Lavant. We also talk about the other famous castings while the film sat in development, the 2021 Original Song contenders, and Simon Helberg's supporting performance.

Topics also include Baby Annette in the gay stan wars, Carax's filmography, and the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.
