CB - If you wanted some surprises in this year's Oscar nominee announcements, you didn't have to look long. All kinds of categories went fully against conventional wisdom, as contenders who seemed completely out of the running came roaring back, and a couple of choices that seemed like givens failed to show up at all. This was already looking like an especially wide-ranging year, with a lot of films showing enough support in precursor awards to be viable Best Picture contenders. That helps explain why there are so many surprises, but it's also an indication that the Academy, high on top of their mountain, sometimes just don't like being told what to do.

Oscars 2023 might witness new rounds of celebrations, accolades, and the usual reminiscence of the Slapgate fiasco.
