A few years ago Boogaloo and Graham won the BAFTA for best short film but lost the Oscar, while Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone (If You’re a Girl) won the combined category at BAFTA then the Oscar for documentary short last year. Other than that there doesn’t seem to be much overlap except for Franz Kafka’s It’s a Wonderful Life winning both BAFTA and Oscar in the 90s (it won the latter in a tie). So I wouldn’t put too much stock in the Brit choices here. Unrelated but I see some experts predicting Feeling Through. It’s tempting to follow suit and it has the representation element going for it with its casting a deaf-blind actor and Marlee Matlin serving as executive producer; it could be this year’s Stutterer, to use a reductive comparison. But that film had far bleaker competition for the most part, and didn’t have to compete with two Netflix films. I doubt The Present will win, but Two Distant Strangers has both Netflix backing plus topicality which should be tough to beat. Both of its nominated filmmakers are also relatively established in the industry which helps. White Eye is my favourite in the category but it’s probably in last place. Such is life.

I want to predict Two Distant Strangers because of its topicality but it’s SO BAD. Both the dialogue and acting are so cringey but maybe the voters will just go for the subject matter ignoring/not caring it’s the weakest short from the category by far.

The MEN in the film are the depraved ones. The only time Cassie threatened actual violence, it didn’t happen! I feel like some people watched a different movie. Cassie didn’t go far enough, in my opinion.

Women have always been judged more harshly than men. Double standards are alive and well. I’ve seen so much hate for Cassie in these posts but none for the sexual predators she picks up in bars or for the rapist/murderer who ends up killing her. Somehow she’s still the depraved one and someone even listed all the criminal offenses she could be charged with…I-

The 2 things SAG told us about this thread are that Trial is still more competitive than Minari as we originally expected and that Minari will not be a BP upset when it already got no editing nom. Minari is not another Parasite.

Trial is not competitive for any Oscar. Nomadland is winning and Promising Young Woman is second having won WGA, AACTA and being the runner-up at BAFTA.

And about the finale, it is basically fucked up. There is nothing empowering about it. Fennel literally makes a huge point with it and says there is no hope for survivors unless you die. Like it literally sheds light on what we are told by society move on and forget about what happened that’s the only way you can be happy. There is no way to be happy if you experienced a trauma unless you forget about it or die. And Cassie died for what? a man to get arrested for the crime they committed? Does a woman always need to die for men to face the consequences of their actions that turned a woman’s life into a living hell?

With all due respect the point of the entire movie is that a woman shouldn’t die for her to get justice. Neither Cassie nor Nina would have died if society and the judicial system had held the rapist accountable. I feel like some people have fundamentally missed the thesis of the film: Society lets men get away with everything and tragedies unfortunately happen. Cassie couldn’t move on with her life and decided to go down a tragic road and Fennell is not setting her as an example or saying women should die for them to get justice…like what??

If Ali somehow wins this over Youn when she’s not even in the movie that much and does nothing special…yikes

Everyone else in that category deserves it more.

Silence is Scorsese’s best film of recent years and was criminally underseen and overlooked.

His most boring one as well.
