Speaking of Adam Sandler...Punch Drunk Love!

Even more egregious when you realize all of PTA's other films have received nominations except for his debut.

That’s a good one! Pretty wild that it’s the only PTA movie not to get a single nomination since Hard Eight. Even Inherent Vice got two.

Heat is overrated. They wanted a Pacino-DeNiro scene so bad, they had to put Pacino in a helicopter to make it happen. It was no Usual Suspects.

Would you call it overheated?

I shall always be shocked by the Oscars rejection of Zodiac. On my deathbed, I'll whisper "Zodiac..."

Kubrick and Oscar snubs go together like peanut butter and jelly... but I gotta say, nothing upsets me more than Adam Sandler not even getting a nomination for Uncut Gems

It really is a travesty—especially when you look at that year’s Best Actor nominations, a couple of which have already faded away with time.

Right! I think it’s what you said, just the Adam Sandler of it all mixed with Oscar voters not knowing what to do with the Safdies style with Uncut Gems… I also think that films final note is darker / less accessible than Marty Supreme
