Here are the nominations for 2024:

Not surprisingly, Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon received a lot of nominations. I hope (and think) that Lily Gladstone will win Best Supporting Actress. I think that RDJ will finally win an Oscar; that Nolan will win Best Director. I also think that Robbie Robertson will receive a posthumous Oscar for the Killer of the Flower Moon soundtrack. And I think that Billie Eilish will win for What Was I Made For?

While I thoroughly enjoyed The Iron Claw and thought Efron's performance was good, I didn't think it was really in the neighborhood of being award worthy.

The problem with having 10 best picture nominees and only 5 for best director is that someone is undoubtedly going to be left out.

Then don't watch Mark. Easy peasy.

Hoffman's ^^^ quote is from 1974, before he had won an Oscar. When he won his first Oscar, he acknowledged that he had been critical of the Oscars but he nonetheless accepted his first as well as subsequent Academy awards:

I'm up here with mixed feelings. I've been critical of the Academy, and for reason. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to be able to work. I am greatly honored for being chosen by the producer, Stanley Jaffe, and the director, Bob Benton, and to have worked in a family with them, and with Meryl and with Justin, who if he loses again we'll have to give him a lifetime achievement award. And to Jane Alexander and to Jerry Greenberg and to Néstor and to the crew on the film who was part of that family. And to the crew and to the directors like Bob Fosse and Mike Nichols and John Schlesinger that I've worked with before. We are laughed at when we are up here, sometimes, for thanking. But when you work on a film you discover that there are people who are giving that artistic part of themself that goes beyond a paycheck, and they are never up here. And many of them are not members of the Academy, and we never hear of them. But this Oscar is a symbol, I think, and it is given for appreciation from those people whom we never see. They are part of our life.

I refuse to believe that I beat Jack Lemmon, that I beat Al Pacino, that I beat Peter Sellers. I refuse to believe that Robert Duvall lost. We are a part of an artistic family. There are sixty thousand actors in this Academy – pardon me – in the Screen Actors Guild, and probably a hundred thousand in Equity. And most actors don't work, and a few of us are so lucky to have a chance to work with writing and to work with directing. Because when you're a broke actor you can't write; you can't paint; you have to practice accents while you're driving a taxi cab. And to that artistic family that strives for excellence, none of you have ever lost and I am proud to share this with you. And I thank you.

Can someone please explain to me how a movie about a living children's toy has been nominated for Best Picture? Is this truly how abysmal Hollywood productions has become in recent years???

Because it's more than just a movie about a toy. I'm guessing you didn't watch it.
