It deserved an Oscar nomination and specifically Zac. He deserved one and it will never blow my mind why they didn’t push this movie more.

In my opinion, Maestro doesn’t deserve nomination, The Iron Claw should, for sure, get nominated.

I just finished it and you could make an argument for everyone being nominated.Jeremy Allen White should definitely be up for supporting.Zac Efron should win for best hands down.

Agreed.@TheAcademyis highly biased and just worship few directors.#Oppenheimeris good but I feel it’s not overhyped thanks to its box office and definitely not Nolan’s best. Plus as a result movies like Past Lives, Iron Claw get over looked and it’s a shame#Oscars2024

screen play, original song, best picture, best actor and/ or best actress. like iron claw was really snubbed this award season. A24 should’ve waited until 2025 OR just not put all their eggs into one basket and push iron claw out more😭
