This was one of the few movies where sound was mixed in a way that even though there is racing and all the noises, I could actually understand what people were saying (both in the theater and at home as I watched it in both places).

I know sound is not really sexy but IMO, there are many movies where sound mixing is actual crap.

It should take home a bunch of technical awards, but as an F1 fan, the story was eye-rollingly bad.

IMO the Oscars have always rewarded commercially successful but vapid films.

F1 deserves praise for being a solid Hollywood blockbuster that wasn't based on pre-existing IP. In short, the type of summer movie Hollywood used to crank out routinely but now seem incapable of doing.

That said, it lacks any bigger philosophical or social themes and significance that you would typically find in true Oscar bait. F1 was a solidly entertaining and crowd pleasing but ultimately forgettable (and non-rewatchable) popcorn movie.
