He is perhaps the actor most able to elevate literally anything, but I don't actually think he has to here because I think this is a wonderful film. And I will also say we talk a lot about sort of what I would consider to be like side factors that affect not wanting to vote for things, whether it's AI or it's controversy or something like that. I will freely admit there are some side factors here.

They also had a really interesting, and I encourage you to read about this, I won't explain the whole thing, but a really interesting compensation scheme in which everybody sort of got paid the same to work on the film, no matter who they were. So I love this movie. It should have been nominated for Best Picture. I rate that it wasn't. And Coleman Domingo rules and is king forever.

Yes, absolutely. It picked up... 13 nominations. It is the most ever for a film that is not in English. Carla Sofia Gascon becomes the first out trans actor to be nominated. This is also obviously a big deal for Netflix, which has wanted for many years to get a Best Picture win. has never gotten one. I'm sure they're feeling quite good about that.

Amelia Perez was nominated not just in those kind of top line categories, but also for things like score and cinematography. It was just broadly embraced by the people doing the nominating.

So this is in some ways an extension of that. And we should note, by the way, that The Brutalist and Wicked all got 10 nominations each, which in any other year would be newsmaking totals also. It's just a year where a small number of movies took up a lot of the oxygen. Anything you were surprised about?
