96th Academy Awards











Broadcast Date: 11th March 2024 - Australia


Hi everyone, it's me, Rad Dingo. I haven't published a film review recently, as I'm still working on each of those that require completion. However, the 2024 nominations for the 96th Academy Awards were announced, with Oppenheimer leading up the categories. Unfortunately, those who saw the movie Barbie will be disappointed that Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig didn't even get nominations for Best Actress and Best Director, while it only scored eight. It is an outrage that these women don't deserve to get snubbed in both categories. Also, I never watched Oppenheimer, but it'd be good if the film did win Best Picture.
