I'll double down and say it should be ineligible. I think if you shoot parts or sequels simultaneously you should have to choose which one you submit to the Academy.
Although I also think both parts of Wicked are bad and the Oscar nominations except for costuming are embarrassing.

My most alienating Oscar opinion of the year is that Wicked pt deux is not a sequel but the simultaneously shot second half of one movie and that therefore it'd be weird to renominate the two stars. This isn't the Emmys; you don't get rewarded for the same role year after year. Will delete shortly.

Son of the Morningstar: Custer and The Little Bighorn
Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

All of this but with an editor who thinks it's funny to make me review things I Do Not Like Or Enjoy
I can't review FOR GOOD. I realized while watching it that I have no memory of the first one and also not a moment's comprehension of what's happening during the second. All I see are unfortunate optics and questionable decisions floating around in an ugly stew and I just can't rewatch the first.

One of the bravest people I've ever known was the girl who wore a wire to bust the teacher who'd been abusing her. She was 16 when the arrest was made. These freaks think she's as good as an adult, but to us KIDS, we saw her as a fellow KID who stood up and did something to protect the rest of us.

It's not that the movie Eternity (2025) is great, but there is a joke about a man-free afterlife and the tagline to sell it is "you've dealt with your last man". I think about that a lot.

I know everyone shits on Napoleon, but "You think you're so great because you have boats" has a time-share next to "How can that be profitable for Frito-Lay" in my mind, and "I have the worst pillow in town" is building a house next door.
