No, actually, I do know why I still care: because it continues to be, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rNRpb_E0jPc\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rNRpb_E0jPc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">warts and all<\/a>, a pretty good representation of what Hollywood cares about. And that&#8217;s important, insofar as that small group of people exports culture to the rest of the world, and it says something about what stories are deemed important right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up through <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oscars.org\/oscars\/ceremonies\/2016\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.oscars.org\/oscars\/ceremonies\/2016\" target=\"_blank\">2016<\/a>, the AMPAS would publish a &#8220;view by film&#8221; count on their official list of nominees for the year, so you could easily see how many nominations a given film had received. But then they stopped doing that for some reason, so now I have to do my own data entry, as shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TL;DR: these are the films that each got 2+ nominations this year, in alphabetical order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>All Quiet on the Western Front (9)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avatar: The Way of Water (4)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Babylon (3)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Banshees of Inisherin (9)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Batman (3)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Elvis (8)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Everything Everywhere All at Once (11)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Fabelmans (7)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Living (2)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>T\u00e1r (6)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Top Gun: Maverick (6)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Triangle of Sadness (3)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Whale (3)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Women Talking (2)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Titles in <strong>BOLD<\/strong> above are up for Best Picture. That category has certainly gotten more&#8230; interesting since they expanded it to ten nominees instead of the standard five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s the raw data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"airtable-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/airtable.com\/embed\/shrXqChbyAHkHzMnE?backgroundColor=yellow&amp;viewControls=on\" frameborder=\"0\" onmousewheel=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"533\" style=\"background: transparent; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s probably a better way to do this in Airtable, but this seemed like the easiest way to get what I wanted.
