Ever since they started having up to ten films nominated I said they should have the acting categories reflect that. Like if they nominate 8 films that year, they should have 8 nominees in Best Actor. A friend of mine thinks all of the categories should be this, but I disagree. I think things like International, Documentary, Animated and the short categories should stay where they're at. But I could see Director or Original Screenplay following the amount of nominees for Best Picture.

Just imagine in 2020 could have possibly had:

Bong Joon Ho

Martin Scorsese

Sam Mendes

Quentin Tarantino

Todd Phillips

Greta Grewig

Taika Waititi

Pedro Almodovar

Kasi Lemmons

Alright, FG, the 90’s. The decade I truly grew up in. The decade where I’ve seen the most garbage from, and the most movies overall, with well over 1,000 movies seen from the decade. A great decade for movies, yet also when I look at my list it feels incomplete. It feels not as expansive as I’d like for it to feel, it feels shortsighted. I know I’ll get plenty of reminders here from other people’s lists on movies I’ve either forgotten about or want to see and haven’t yet. Still, since it’s my most seen decade, I went ahead and made a top 50 list for the decade right now, instead of the 25’s that I’ve been doing. What does your decade of the 90’s look like?

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.

If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.

Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???

Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.

Thank you,

A Dad.
