Did "CODA" deserve to win Best Picture? Did "Dune: Part One" (still harping on that "Part One"") deserve 6 Academy Awards? What about "Nightmare Alley? That film was a masterpiece! What happened to the love? And Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on stage on live TV, what was that about?

My mistake: I forgot that "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" (1936), "The Awful Truth" (1937) and "Giant" (1956) won only the Oscar of Best Director. So "The Power of the Dog" is the EIGHTH film to win only that award. Oops!
