What I don’t get is all the hype for Top Gun and Elvis. Couldn’t finish the first one and have zero interest in watching the second.

You're missing out. Maverick is really good and couldn't be more different than the first. I don't get the hype for the Tars (Tar and Avatar).
Tar is an obvious Oscar bait film with a great performance from Blanchett and little else. Tar's biggest sin is completely wasting Noémie Merlant, who was so brilliant in Portrait of a Lady on Fire.
As for Avatar, I will never understand the love for that franchise. It's so derivative.

Is the best original song catagory right? Song I want to vote for isn't there.
Looking for FAB8 CD Number 439
I'm just not into Oscars stuff this year. Haven't seen any of the movies, either. :/
A NEW GAME BEGINS
I have seen shockingly few of the Oscar BP nominations this year. Whoops.
Hope EEAAO takes the win though. Have a few buddies that raved about Tar, so I'll check it out soon.

Every schoolkid in Germany has read e.m.remarque All Quiet on the Western Front.
The original and the remake were great, I'm curious if this third film adaptation
can win 1-2-6 Oscars.
9 nominations for a German Netflix film. I still can't believe it.

Unless things go crazy, EEAAO is going to win 5-8 awards.
