I mean I don’t think he was going to regardless of whatever went down tonight. Think the film would’ve ended up being too inaccessible for it to be an Oscar player in any category.
Sure, sometimes they’re better, sometimes they’re worse. I loved the acting winners from BAFTA this year but would’ve liked EEAAO to win Picture at least
I think EEAAO was something of an anomaly in that I don’t think the floodgates have suddenly opened for any type of film that isn’t usually academy friendly to start winning.
I agree with the consensus that Elvis is very weak, but the others seem very good to me. It has been a weird level of hate, and I think dislike for Empire of Light and Bardo as films might be coloring people’s opinions.
Yeah I think people let their overall dislike for a film cloud their judgement on individual elements because Bardo, for example, kinda sucked but the cinematography is some of the best I’ve seen in recent years. Likewise Empire of Light is a boring film but it was beautifully shot. TAR’s cinematography is just impeccable.
Carol
Weird take

Saw someone comment in the Movies subreddit that this was one of the quickest Star to Tár moments in Hollywood history which is a brilliant phrase
I don’t know whether it’s Saldana or the animators but Neytiri’s expressions always make me cringe. I think they’re so bad.
I doubt she cares all that much. But is this a real rumour or just a fan cast from Twitter? I’m pretty sure it’s the latter
Picture: EEAAO
Probably not, unless it’s Pulp Fiction level appreciated
No, it’s not an academy genre and it’s not crowd pleasing enough, or had any popular support at all, to overcome that
Hopkins easily.
Highly doubt it

Standing ovation lengths are the anonymous Oscar ballots of pre-season.
At least the ovation is by people who (presumably) actually watched the movie.
True but they gave Blonde a 14minute one so I think they just enjoy clapping

Mediocre film with a meh gimmick is how I would describe Boyhood lol
Even mediocre is generous
Will never understand the dislike for this years nominees

Shoulda been nominated for Carol and even 12 years a slave.
Carol is like my favourite movie ever but I dont think she did anything nom worthy in that film
Don't think the script was it's strongest asset, but it was quite original at least. TAR and Banshee's had much stronger screenplays in my opinion
3 Oscars kinda automatically puts you in legendary status, so that
Laura Dern was a ridiculous win
Blanchett and Meryl if she returns from whatever she’s doing
I want nothing more than a Viggo win, I hope this is the film to do it
JLD JLD JLD
I mean half of these will probably flop as usual
Chastain, McDormand and Kaluuya are the only ones I'm confident in getting nominated again.
