. . . THE 94TH OSCARS NOMINATION SHOW, and since this page drew such scant attention--only six votes in twelve months!--this site is not even bothering to allow voting on the 2023 sequel. Therefore, this will probably be the first--and last--comment about the follow-up class of contenders to CODA, POWER OF THE DOG, DRIVE MY CAR and all those other tedious non-entertaining misfires the Academy figures is the quickest way to convince America to put them out of their misery. Once again, "Old S-h-e-p" has not been nominated in the Best Song category, partly because it was overlooked and snubbed in ELVIS and mostly because it's OLD. Maybe next year someone will pen a tune called "New S-h-e-p" for their closing credits: it sounds like a sure winner! Otherwise, it's safe to say that the U. S. pool of REAL film buffs is 110% behind THE WHALE, and regards pretty much ALL of the other nominations as totally bogus. Would it have killed anyone to give the Cruise Missile kudos for Maverick? After all, there was not a dry eye when that Duke won for TRUE GRIT.
