      It seems worth mentioning that was a juried award, determined by a panel of professionals in each respective peer group.

      Deliberations include an open discussion of each entrant’s work and, at the end, voters are asked to answer the question “Is this entry worthy of an Emmy award – yea or nay?” Only those with unanimous approval win.

        Sure, but ‘production coordinator’ is not exactly a job which requires an extensive knowledge of and ability to critique film on a level higher than most people.

    As someone else with a film degree, there are movies that are far longer and have far more dialogue. Stop trying to make that into an elitist thing. Or go watch Jeanne Dielman on repeat until you can’t get off to high brow cinema any more

      As someone who doesn’t have a film degree, I’m surprised that the degree doesn’t teach OP that movies are subjective.

    Yeah, no. I have no problem with a dialogue-driven 3-hour cinematic tour-de-force. Oppenheimer was not that.

    Also, let people like (or not like) things.

    I mean I have zero issues with a 3 hour movie. Oppenheimer was not masterfully written and at some points the directing was plainly bizarre.

    It was a good movie but it’s not a movie I would go out of my way to see again. 90% of it was just taken from his wiki page - it wasn’t deep or insightful.

    Again, good movie, definitely doesn’t make my top 5 or top 10.

    Its possible that people appreciate different things about movies and that arguing about subjective interpretation of art is pointless regardless of the qualifications.

      But he specifically said that not everyone has to like it.

      It is possible something is objectively very very good (depending on the criteria picked) but is still disliked by many. Similar with a lot of stuff happening around the fight against the speed of climate change.
