LOL. I see #FilmTwitter and Oscar pundits never change. Looks like Bombshell is the “Mary Poppins Returns” and “Carol” of this year. First screenings and apparently it’s a HUGE Oscar contender, with multiple nominations lined up, including Best Picture. And 2 Acting wins assured.

And yet they ignore who the demographic and target audience for…[Read more]

Is Netflix really gonna dominate the entire Golden Globes this year?

– 2 x Best Drama (Marriage Story, The Irishman)
– 2 x Best Comedy (Dolemite Is My Name, The Two Popes)
– Drama Actress (Marriage Story)
– 2 x Drama Actor (Marriage Story, The Irishman)
– 2 x Comedy Actor (The Two Popes, Dolemite Is My Name)
– 2 x Supporting Actor (The Irishman,…[Read more]

Almost every film got a standing ovation. Because the Director and talent is present at the screening. If none of those people were present at Official screenings of these films, more than half of these films wouldn’t even get a slow clap.

If Beale Street is an emotional, feel-good film. That’s why it placed as runner-up. That’s the type of…[Read more]

These Marriage Story predictions are just as pretentious as the people who are positioning it as the second coming of Christ.

IT IS NOT A CROWD-PLEASER! IT’S A CRITICS FILM.
It is not uplifting, and also not the type of film you can pop in the dvd at home with your family, and they will all generally like it.

Hidden Figures, Slumdog Millionaire,…[Read more]

For what? She’s gonna have to find herself a starring vehicle where she’s the sole and ONLY factor. Like BROOKLYN.

She ain’t happening for a borderline ensemble role in a period film that has been done to death

People’s Choice prediction:

Winner: Just Mercy

1st runner-up: Waves
2nd runner-up: Parasite

Fight it all you guys want, Renée Zellweger is heading for her second Oscar. The raves just keep coming, over all other contenders. And her narrative gets stronger with each passing festival showing.

Thank you to the also ran, but this category is wrapped up.

Cinema is alive and well, honey. 2019 just delivered the highest grossing film of all time, and countless other massive box office hits.

Venice, Lucretia Martel and her jury just brought Venice back to the people. Go watch the videos of the crowd reactions when Joker was announced the Golden Lion winner. It’s the first time in years that…[Read more]

Amen, and AMEN

And LITTLE BIRD, LADY WOMEN (or whatever the hell it’s called) is gonna walk into the Oscars with which arguments exactly?

Who? What? Where?

Show me the drools? Better yet, show me ONE person who wants to give Scorsese a Directing Oscar……and for what? The Irishman? REALLY???

2 x Oscar winner Renée Zellweger.

Maybe because it’s an issue that still happens 100 times, multiplied by 100?

This one is based on a true story. And it addresses something that is still happening today.

These are stories that deserve to be told, and they will keep telling them.

It’s one thing to not like the old school, restraint style of filmmaking of these types of…[Read more]

That’s not what I’m saying. At all. He’s not winning the Oscar because of the Volpi Cup win. That Venice win opens the door for him, and only solidifies it as a winning performance. Warner Bros submitted it In Competition at Venice for what, do you think? For the Golden Lion win? Of course it’s for Phoenix’s campaign. The same way Olivia Colman,…[Read more]

There’s really no questions raised. At all.

It’s a physical, dramatic transformative performance. That’s what they all won for. That extreme dedication is what actors and Oscar voters love, and love to reward. Every chance they get. That’s why they love biopics. The Queen, La Vie Rose, Darkest Hour, Monster, The Danish Girl, Bohemian Rhapsody,…[Read more]

Oh please. We go through this every year.

Phoenix is winning. It’s the kind of Oscar win that is set up well in advance. Like DiCaprio, Oldman, etc. You can see it coming a mile away. And it’s something Hollywood loves to do, and just cannot refuse.

And he doesn’t need critics behind him, or critics awards behind him. Like Oldman, Malek,…[Read more]

Venice has spoken.

Best actor is wrapped up. He’s winning.

Now for Zellweger to mount that campaign.
