(Nor should it, as a comedy cartoon It has it in an "ironic millennial humor" way, like with Bojack Horseman. Like Pickle Rick is actually about Rick's narcissistic qualities and how he distances himself from him loved ones, using multiple layers of irony as a shield. It's terribly pretentious.

Even if he wins the next time he’s nominated, he won’t be doing much better than Goldsmith percentage-wise (and much worse than Williams’s almost 10%).

Parasite was a good movie though 6 hours ago, King Mark said: In the end I think it's what happened. A somewhat good movie the general public liked that happened to have an "underrepresented" cast . Perfect for them to make it less obvious than voting for Tar, the woman lesbian conductor movie. Even more perfect for them is they could split their vote with All Quiet in separate categories, even for it's lack of representation (all white hetero male cast), to show their anti-war activism. 2 birds with 1 stone.

A good mix of blockbusters and more traditional type Oscar films Which makes it even worse that only two films really won anything If they hadn't the "no hope in hell" extra five slots there is no chance of Top Gun getting nominated. But then, that's what the extra five are for. I haven't seen There Will be Blood. I should fix that. (I did see No Country and wow.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could that be? Average quota should be 20% (one out of five nominees wins). Less than 10% is really... bad luck? Related to this, I was wondering if John Williams might actually hold the record for most consecutive nominations without a win. The all-time losing record was sound mixer Kevin O'Connell who lost 20 times before his first win with his 21st nomination. Williams is now at 22 so he actually lapped O'Connell with Rise of Skywalker. But I don't know if there's another previous winner who then went on to lose that many times in a row. By comparison Meryl Streep's longest losing streak was 12. But incidentally, she also went 29 years between wins and it's now been 29 years for Williams too.
