if EEAO wins the SAG, that makes it more likely they will have a parasite year. parasite won only the SAG and the WGA before winning the oscar. but parasite did not win the critics choice (that went to the overrated once upon a time in hollywood, which also won the GG for comedy). and last year’s coda won the SAG, the PGA, and the WGA, while missing out on the golden globe, which went to the mainstream frontrunner (power of the dog)……….and a spielberg film (west side story). that makes banshees look like the mainstream frontrunner (being that they won the GG alongside a spielberg film; albiet, WSS won in the category banshees won in this year, and POTD won in the category the fabelmans did. the drama category is often where the traditional frontrunner wins)……except power of the dog also won the critics choice award.
since the oscars started awarding the underdog (2016 - present), the winner of best picture at the critics choice awards only went on to win best picture at the oscars twice, 2018’s not quite underdog the shape of water and the pandemic year 2021’s nomadland. in neither year was there a real competition for best picture

Is Avatar 2 the Best Sci-Fi film in the 2020s?
Hello, everyone, how y’all doing, I’m giving my review and thoughts on the film Avatar: The Way of Water. Yes, watched this movie last night; I watched it at the movie theater. What I’m thinking about this film? I think it’s great. I like it. The writing and the storyboard are well improved, the cinematography is impressive, the characters are well written, and the special effect is excellent. Yeah, this movie should be considered one of the best sci-fi movies of 2020s, if not all times along with its prequel.
I feel like I need to tell what happened in the film even I shouldn’t do it, but I’m going to tell you all, anyway, but I’m going tell the whole movie for whoever who hasn’t seen it, so spoiler alert. I’m not telling you the whole film, but anyway, I didn’t get the chance to watch the beginning of the film, but what I remember is what I watch is that the protagonist has kids with his wife. Their kids are kind of hardheaded, but they’re kids, the protagonist teach them to hunt, communicate with animals, traditional ways of their culture, all that. The kids visited some abandon human ship where they got captured by a group of other Na-vis lead by the antagonist from the previous film, who became a Na-vi. The protagonist and his wife rescued their kids, but the human Jungle Boy-looking friend got taken by the villain. At home, protagonist and his wife decided to move to another village, while the antagonist treated the human Jungle Boy like his own son. The protagonist and his family move to a village where have to get along with the other villagers, make friends with whales, hunting fishes, flying those giant flying fishes, and trying to stay out of trouble. There they got invaded by the villains, the fight between the Na-vi villagers and the antagonist’s group erupted, the protagonist and antagonist fought each other, personally, the mother is scary when fight the invaders, Jungle-Boy did the most stupidest shit, but he helped, and villain has been defeated and the protagonist and his family, and the Na-vi villagers are saved, well not everyone, but they’re saved. Happy ever after, I think.
Yeah, the movie is great, I gotta give James Cameron positive critics for making this film. It is the best movie ever made in 2022. I would give this movie 8 out of 10 and four stars out of five. And, damn, this movie is long; it really is a three hours film. It’s great, though, I enjoyed it, and I hope you all enjoyed it, too. Well, it’s been a blast.

Just thinking about how Americans spend millions of dollars recreating a foreign movie that worked perfectly well and US audiences could have just watched subbed/dubbed....something is wrong with them.
Millions of dollars. Because americans are so deeply uncurious about other countries. Wild.
