I think I'm the only person in the world who did not like Barbie. It came across as trying too hard, or something. I don't know, it didn't live up to the hype for me at all. It was not wow Oscar worthy for me. But also it was probably the only movie I actually watched from last year so I don’t know the competition.

Longitudinal history has shown us that the highest grossing films does not mean nominated for Oscars. That's not a criteria for best film.
Why not Lion King? Jurassic Park? Fast and Furious? I mean if we are talking about highest grossing.
I think I read something that like in the last 20 years only like 4 movies that were best picture were also big at the box office. I mean, do I really care? No. I don't care about the Barbie movie per say, I just know I have seen a lot of great films and then I am often shocked when they get no recognition. So for me, it is more about the films that have been left out over the years and not about Barbie for me.
Also, more often that not when there is a movie or a show about women it's either gender roles or martyr mom. Of course, how those messages are conveyed and depicted vary. So for me, I didn't find it thought provoking. I am a women that is non yt in these United States. I didn't need any movie to make me think about gender roles.
I am just me and it's just my opinion.
I do feel though How do you nominate for best picture but not the director? That's makes no sense to me. Like best picture but not best screen play or something.
I really do not even watch the Oscars so there is that too.

I blame yt women again.

I only recently watched it, so I think maybe I also waited too long and it had been too built up by then. It was fun, but like you said, didn’t wow me like it seemed to do for so many.

For me, it was really just such an experience. When I went there were groups of old ladies laughing and decked out in all pink and it just felt really special in that moment. I'm sure it won't have the same effect on my couch.

We had snow last week and now it's warming up, but the playground is still covered with snow. These children need to be outside. I'm so over indoor recess! I'm not feeling 100% and feel like fresh air would help.

I really do not even watch the Oscars so there is that too. I think you are right. I do see the significance of the movie as a woman but I also think of all the woman who vote for the politicians that take our rights away being mad about this movie not being nominated right and think well it’s you putting us back…. I also think that the Oscar’s are the same type of movies nominated and the same people and it’s to stuffy. This was proven to me even more last year with Angela Bassett losing to Jamie Lee Curtis. They both were good so I hate to take the credit away but because Wakanda Forever isn’t an Oscar movie I feel Angela probably didn’t get the thought she deserved. Also it all being nominated and voted on by their peers is something It could be just my group of people but 9 times out of 10 we have seen maybe 1 movie nominated

I'm not feeling 100% and feel like fresh air would help. It'll all melt after all this rain but everything is just gonna be mud for a million years now. I feel like my floors will never be clean again.

The little kid must be brewing an ear infection. He said his ear hurt yesterday and I gave him some Motrin and he said it was fine this morning? I guess I'll wait and see...

We're taking a last minute trip to Disney too! For the first time ever, DD's school has a week off in February. For some reason i thought it was on ExH's week, but i double checked and nope, it's MY WEEK! My parents were nice enough to let us use their DVC points so we can stay at the Grand Californian. I'm so, so excited!

I'm so, so excited! That's awesome! We just stayed at GCH and I was warned ahead of time that I'd never want to stay anywhere else -- so now I'm warning you, too. It's amazing. You really can't beat the proximity to the parks, and the hotel itself is really stupendous. Have so much fun!!

We've stayed there a bunch, ONLY because my parents have the Disney Vacation Club and we've either stayed with them in the 3 bedroom Villas or used their points when they didn't go. I LOVE IT! But so pricey!

You guys.
I was in a meeting today and someone called someone whose initials are JG jaygee. The way I jumped thinking they were talking to me.
Btw. My initials are not JG. Nothing about my name is close to my screen name. I’m laughing.

It seems like the Oscars are always *serious business* movies. Wakanda Forever was beautiful, but because it is Marvel and a Superhero movie it wouldn't even be considered.

In reality non of the awards shows are without problems and probably should just go or not have as much weight behind them but also I see why Hollywood wants them
