All Quiet on the Western Front is racking up some wins, but it's not nominated for best director, and it's unusual for a film to win best picture without winning best director.

No it's not. As a matter of fact, approximately half the best picture winners have also won best director.

Given there have traditionally been 4 nominations, and in more recent years 10, a 50% connection between best director and best picture is a trend. I imagine the only comparable predictor would be screenplay, but since there are two of those awards it's a bit trickier to make the link.

Online ragging on Janie Lee Curtis winning for best supporting actor "in an Asian dominated cast some random white lady wins an Oscar". I guess that narrative isn't quite so strong now that Michelle Yeoh has won the big acting prize. Well done her.

Yeah. Jamie Lee Curtis is so random, never heard of that woman! :D

Hard pressed to say there is too much off this year. Jamie Lee Curtis is maybe the biggest upset/surprise/question mark? Or perhaps the RRR song winning as an upset?  Make Up?

A famous nepo baby that made entire Hollywood watch this movie is certainly not a random white lady. Yes, it is atrocious winner, but overall, it is part of EEAAO sweep. 

Congrats to winners, they wouldn't be my choice, but I am glad for them. Unfortunately, some superior movies are going home tonight without recognition. They deserved much better, but it is Academy.

I hope you have enjoyed this season with me... I will write more in-detail tomorrow.
