Ross Weighs in on ‘Odd’ Nominations

TV host Jonathan Ross, who is hosting ITV1’s live coverage of the ceremony in the UK, believes the Academy’s voters have decided to show “how smart we are” instead of backing box office hits.

He said: “It seems a bit odd to me, some of the choices. Emilia Perez, I thought was kind of OK, but I didn’t think the tunes were very good.

“And then you’ve got Wicked, which, once again, I wasn’t a huge fan of but it couldn’t be more popular. And the songs are amazing.

“The Brutalist, I enjoyed. But sometimes I do feel people who vote in the Academy — and they have broadened the range of who get to do that — see this as an opportunity to show to the world that what they make is important rather than popular.

“This year, it seems they’ve gone back to saying, ‘Look how serious we are. Look how smart we are’.”
