This is a masterpiece.
From cinematography (I haven't seen a continuous single shot TV series ever, and only the Russian Ark in theaters), story, acting, every single thing about this show is absolutely perfect.
I'm not going to waste any words - please read the review by M00ND0G - this young person said it all. Thank you for your review, it's brilliant!
But after watching the show (days later I'm still processing it) I have to single out one performance among a ton of impeccable ones, the one that summarizes it all for me: young Fatima Bojang. In her 5 minutes in front of the camera (Episode 2) this girl shows so much emotion, so much pain, so much frustration, that it's absolutely mind-boggling. Her body language, the monologue, the tears... All that is wrong with the world our young are facing today, loneliness, broken families, alienation, all the pain can be seen on that beatiful young girl's face, and it really deserves every praise. Both my wife and I cried watching it, and talked about it after the episode - when you think about it, on the surface you see a bunch of obnoxious kids, totally impossible to be controlled or brought to reason. Yet, it's not that simple - there's a story behind it, there's a reason for it. And how to tell this all in 5 minutes? Fatima did it. You may not noticed it, and I don't blame you, in the complex story laden with amazing performances and everything that's going on. But rewind it, watch it and think about what she said - and how camera, some time after it, shows her standing alone on the sidewalk, and follows her into the crowd of other children, suggesting subtly that Fatima is not the only one having same issues and facing the same problems...
In the end, I'm convinced more than ever - it's not the kids fault. We, the parents, screwed up. We created the society that was supposed to be safe and human, respectful and just and it became everything but - we had no time for our kids, we left them trying to figure it out all by themselves, at the mercy of the dreaded internet, creating the Matrix of their own... But the kids didn't create it - we gave it to them.

Emilia Perez - 13 nominations
Conclave - 8 nominations
Something is terribly wrong with Hollywood.
Conclave is a serious piece of filmmaking, an "in camera" movie that equals all masterpieces of the genre, at par with To Kill A Mockingbird or12 Angry Men. Acting so strong that should really pick up all acting nominations, and easily win them. The sequestered scenography (pun intended) is a challenge for the director and a crew, unlike scenes outdoors, where camera has more freedom of movement. This is technically an absolute perfection. Of course, it's always about the story, and this story is amazing, especially the ending,
We need to understand the art is now in Hollywood superseded by political views, and whether those are right or wrong, good or evil views it doesn't matter - politics and art should NEVER mix. And by allowing themselves to be dragged into this stupid, irrelevant, esoteric and ephemeral whirlpool of daily politics, and ignoring the art, Hollywood is making then selves unimportant and unworthy. We always knew it was just for the show, and that there was always politics, but the art was never pushed so far down to make room for selfish, petty agendas.
Don't worry about Hollywood and Oscars. Their decay is obvious, watch something else that night.
Long live art, to hell with politics.
