How Many Oscars will it get ?
I am saying 7 including Best Director, Best Film and Best Lead Actor as definitely.
Then a few technical ones and maybe Downey Jr .
Zero.
Because it does not meet diversity criteria.

The Academy announced in September 2020 a set of rules to encourage diversity would take effect with the upcoming 96th Oscars ceremony in March 2024.
To be eligible for Best Picture, the ceremony’s top prize, a film must meet two of four new diversity standards.
The first, Standard A, which has come under fire from conservatives, can be met in one of three ways:
1) Either one lead or significant supporting character is from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group;
2) at least 30% of the acting ensemble is from at least two underrepresented groups (women, the LGBTQ community, disabled or deaf people, or people from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group);
3) the storyline centers on an underrepresented group.
Standard B: Films must meet one of three criteria: At least two creative leaders or department heads (including casting directors, cinematographers, composers and more) must be from an underrepresented group, at least six crew or technical positions must be from an underrepresented group, or at least 30% of the crew must be from an underrepresented group.
Standard C: The film’s production, distribution or financing companies offer paid internship or apprenticeships and training opportunities for people from underrepresented groups.
Standard D: The film studio must have multiple senior executives from underrepresented groups on its marketing, publicity or distribution teams.
Although centered around best picture, but you get what they are doing.
So you should ask how many Barbie is going to win. share
Another reason why absolutely no one should take the Oscars seriously. Straight clown status.
Not that I believe Oppenheimer deserves anything, btw.
I thought that all those black leading actors are a trend, never crossed my mind that there are rules about them... crazy
shareThe interesting thing about black actors is that you can't say they are underrepresented anymore, more like over represented.
Considering they are only about 12% of population, in terms of US demographics anyway.
wow, this is a recipe for producing some real garbage film! no wonder all the movies suck nowadays. what a bunch of fucking assholes!
