Why is the ACE Eddie win “bizarre”?

He singled out one person as being more deserving than the other four (including himself).

So happy for Parasite, my favourite film of the year! I cheered so hard when it won I woke my cat up!

Also I hope Phoenix didn’t hurt his chances by saying Driver should have “been here”. Phoenix was easily the best in his line-up and I don’t know why he would even say that. He should have just acknowledged Driver like he acknowledged the others.

So… no one else is shattered about Song Kang Ho? Where is the damn outrage?!

He did nothing of the sort.

Not when he wins an award himself…

Tarantino’s face when Joon Ho won Director was so gross. Isn’t this man’s ego big enough?

Yup, Roman Griffin Davis won.

They bumped best Young Actor/Actress off-screen so they could have a terrible host with unfunny filler bits? What a joke.

Why is Taye Diggs back? He was terrible last time and this is no better. So much filler too.

My cable lied and said the show would start half an hour after it did, missed Joaquin Phoenix’s win. 🙁

This is the kind of thinking that leads to category fraud…

One nomination? Song Kang Ho.

Overall wish? Parasite nominations across the board including Cinematography, Editing and Production Design as well as what is already being predicted (Screenplay, Director, Picture).

I am not here for Robbie’s performances but I’m interested in the rule that forbids double nominations in one category. I don’t see why this should be the case. Different roles, different films. Does anyone know the official reasoning of this?

The Directors branch nominated Steven Soderbergh twice in the same year.

Now that is just a ridiculous statement, especially considering the nominations for Blige and Weaver in Silver Linings Playbook.

So… was she on painkillers then?

I’ve had this line-up since November, for a few reasons – I saw no reason to change until the Golden Globes/SAG, and because I had a feeling Ronan was going to be stronger than people expected.

However, I also made these predictions before Nyong’o’s SAG nomination and critics sweep. I’m so tempted to put her in but don’t know who to take…[Read more]

So the performance shouldn’t win him the Oscar because you didn’t like his speech?

Stay pressed.

As for Phoenix pissing potential voters off – everyone in the Academy knows deep down that there is literally no such thing as someone’s performance being “better” than the other. He wasn’t mocking the processes – he was stating facts. The only plausible way to judge one actor’s performance as better than another’s is if they have the exact same…[Read more]

The Catholic church deserved that joke. I’m glad he said it.
