I still haven't come around to seeing many of the winners:poor things, anatomy of a fall, the boy and the heron, American fiction and Godzilla are all still on the watch list. So i guess it is impossible to give a qualified opinion. That said, this is the Internet, so I'll just give my unqualified one:
Oppenheimer was pretty good, but I wouldn't say it is "7 Oscars good". Seems to me like it benefited from a weaker year. From the ones I've seen neither Barbie, the holdovers or killers of the flower moon were outstanding.
Killers of the flower moon was ok, but not amazing. So I am fine with it going home empty. Can't comment on the leading actress category without having seen poor things, that would have maybe been the only one.
Spiderman was Oscar deserving, but then again maybe so is the boy and the heron, which I haven't seen.
Without having seen the other entries 20 days in Mariupol is an unsurprising winner for me. It's a good documentary and the topic put it in prime position to win.
Sad to see Perfect Days go home empty, since it was one of my favorite recent movies. Then again this looks like a stacked category, since Zone of interest seems to be great and I've also heared good things about the teacher's Lounge. He wasn't nominated for it, but in my books Yakusho Koji could have gotten the leading actor award.
Most seem to consider the last year to have been a really strong one. I would certainly argue that it was better than 21 and 22.
Actually looking at it again you are right, it really wasnt a weak one.
