I’m not really into Ostlund filmography so far, I really didn’t care for Force Majeure and the least said about The Square, the better. But obviously, I can’t say Triangle of Sadness is a deserving winner or not since I haven’t seen it.

I appreciate parts of his films…but I’m guessing like the others the main emotion it will draw from me is extreme anxiety… we’ll see

FYC:

Swinton, Weerasethakul Memoria, (Best Actress, Director)
Efira, Rampling, Wilson Benedetta (Best Actress, Supporting Actress/Actor)
Rapace Lamb (Best Actress)
Stewart, Hawkins, Spall Spencer (Best Actress, Supporting Actress/Actor)

Point by point the same for me.

I am surprised that Triangle of Sadness got the Palm. I thought Holy Spider or Decision to Leave were more like the Palm winner.

The win may well propell Woody Harrelson into the supporting actor race

2023 Oscar
Best Picture: The Way of The Wind
Best Director: Decision to Leave
Best Actress: TAR
Best Actor: The Whale
Best Supporting Actress: The Whale
Best Supporting Actor: Poor Things

Apparently anglophone critics were cold on “Triangle of Sadness”, but the public loved it.

I’m surprised that “Boy from Heaven”, “The Eight Mountains” and “Stars at Noon” got some prizes.

It’s sad that Egypt will not choose “Boy from Heaven” for the Academy awards because the film director has been banned from the country (he was born in Sweden but they are obviously choosing the Ostlund to represent them). Same story for “Holy Spider” and Iran. Belgium will have to choose between Lukas Dhont and the Dardennes, Italy between “The Eight Mountains”, “Nostalgia” and the new Crialese movie that will likely be at Venice. France will choose the wrong movie like always.

Edit: Sweden cannot choose Ostlund because the movie is in English I think…

Ostlund’s film is majority in English this time. People mentioned 85% to 90% of the dialogue is in English

Edit: I didn’t see the edit oops

Only a couple of months after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science’s completion of their decades-long endeavor to totally delegitimize the Oscars, Cannes provided another argument for doing away with all cinema awards entirely.

Denmark can and probably will submit Holy Spider. They literally had Flee this past year.
