What is so special or remarkable about Aftersun’s direction? It’s shot and made like any other A24 indie. The actors are very good but it doesn’t need to be nominated for Directing, lol.

The framing and editing is next level. It’s actual filmmaking with little normie spectacle, but without a doubt one of the five biggest directorial achievements of the year.

For Your Consideration:
The Banshees of Inisherin in ALL categories, including:
- Best Picture
- Best Director
- Best Actor (Colin Farrell)
- Best Supporting Actor (Brendan Gleeson)
- Best Supporting Actor (Barry Keoghan)
- Best Supporting Actress (Kerry Condon)
- Best Supporting Actress (Sheila Flitton)
- Best Original Screenplay

They would never pick someone like Cameron in a million years even if he directed the best movie of all time. You know they think they’re too smart and special for Top Gun or Avatar.

maybe making a billion dollars for an action sequel just isn’t a good enough motivation to vote for it.

Yawn. It wasn’t anything special. I know it’s cool to cheer for the underdog but it doesn’t need recognition for directing, I mean come on.

Maybe you just don’t like good directing?

TÁR joins the exclusive club of films that swept the trifecta (NYFCC, LAFCA, NSFC) in Best Picture. Others that have accomplished this were Goodfellas, Schindler’s List, LA Confidential, The Hurt Locker, The Social Network and Drive My Car.

All of those films mentioned have won at least one Oscar at the Academy Awards too…

As someone who absolutely hates Tar I was fully expecting it to win. Pretentious drivel about a privileged awful white woman winning with the pretentious mostly white privileged awful critics isn’t a huge stretch. Fully expecting it. The Oscars won’t be the same story – Blanchett is the only real potential winner for Tar there and she has huge competition from Yeoh (and I am predicting Yeoh). Tar is not well regarded and loved by AUDIENCES and most academy members are not cinephiles!. Goldderby members are (mostly) cinephiles and not regular audience members (myself included). Critics have lost their minds lately – they are meant to serve the status quo and so they do engage in groupthink and keep the propaganda going. There are very few critics who I respect anymore.

You hit the bullseye!
