I haven’t seen Emilia Perez, but from what I’ve heard I am not sure I will. I heard Saldana was great. But, there seems to be a lot of outrage at the awards it received last night. This hasn’t been an overly impressive year for films, so a lot of the Oscar’s awards seem pretty wide open. Definitely want to see Anora as well as I’m Still Here though.I'd like to see both of those movies.
I watched Emilia Perez because I was out of the country and Netflix was the only available streaming service. The acting by the lead (Gascon) and Saldana was very good (I'm not sure why Gomez got a GG nom -- she was fine but the role gave her little to work with), but the story was pretty meh. I'm not talking about the subject matter (a Mexican cartel leader getting a sex change); I just thought that, even accepting the premise, some of the plot turns and character developments were quite silly.
