I'm not sure if I'd agree that either of those movies should have won any Oscars yet alone Best Picture, but Nomadland was Searchlight and won the previous year.

West Side Story is honestly one of Spielberg's best movies. I'd probably have it in his top 10. The problem is that nobody saw it in theatres because of covid.

I mean, CODA won best picture that year. Wasn’t a particularly strong year

Huh you’re right. I guess Andor does have a shot if the Emmy voters can look past their Succession bias.

I liked CODA but you're right, not the strongest year. I imagine it won by getting a lot of 2nd places. If I were voting I'd have ranked them:

  1. Power of the Dog

  2. Drive My Car

  3. CODA

  4. Licorice Pizza

  5. West Side Story

  6. Duen

  7. Don't Look Up

  8. King Richard

  9. Nightmare Alley

  10. Belfast

Although there are some other movies I liked more. Red Rocket, The Lost Daughter, The Worst Person in the World, After Yang would rank higher than most of those.
