Oppenheimer and Best Oscar

Here are my thoughts on Oppenheimer winning the Best Oscar.

Really? 

It is the ultimate, highbrow movie about blowing shit up. It is like they took the plot of an action-hero movie and put it in a tweed jacket. Sure, all of the characters had PhDs in physics and chemistry, but is this really different than a Marvel flick that is chock full of explosions where the good guys are trying to save the world from destruction from the evil guys?

Nope.

You can tell from this that the Academy voters are a bunch of boys men dudes.

I will say I loved Robert Downey, Jr. in the movie. He was a terrific villain, trying to take down the super hero in a snarky, mean girls kind of way.
