I can’t see them passing up OUATIH

exactly! The criticism scene is just incredible to see the shift and range of emotions that register on her face. To me that was more impressive than her monologue scene.

Word has been out on Dark Waters and it’s not being considered a contender. Most critics are lukewarm on it and critical of the script. I would say Ruffalo isn’t in contention.

Its so packed as it is, unless it’s a phenomenal performance I doubt Hauser could make the final cut especially because there are so many a listers in the category alrea…[Read more]

my favourites and dream lineup

what a power couple!

I will be very disappointed if OUATIH gets original screenplay as a consolation prize if it doesn’t win director or picture. Marriage Story’s script is far superior.

I saw Marriage Story on Thursday. There was great energy from the audience I’m glad I got to experience it.

cinematography was gorgeous I’d love that to happen. Especially the court room push in and camera work in the fight scene and singing scene. I think cinematography is on the table if the academy really go for  marriage story.

Editing wasn’t very flashy but perhaps the best moments when Jennifer is quick cutting between Scarlett and Adam in the…[Read more]

the monologue was impressive but to me the moments she shone were the quieter subtler moments like walking around the corner breaking down or micro expressions throughout the court scenes or the fence scene. Still I think it’s very unfair that people are predicting she’ll miss out on a nom. If it was any other actress, she would be locked. Peo…[Read more]

exactly! I wouldn’t call it a crowd pleaser as such but there are really hilarious moments that had my audience laughing out loud. And the film arguably ends on a hopeful note.

It was runner up at TIFF for a reason. It resonates widely with general audiences and deeply with those who have experienced divorce first hand.

With the caliber of actors and filmmakers behind Netflix it’ll happen eventually. So why not now? They are both deserving.

Does anyone know when is the first screening of 1917 ? From memory I think it was around nov. 24, can anyone confirm this?

Exactly, it’s hard. I would call both transformational performances in different aspects.

The growth of Charlie in Marriage Story is charted in Adam’s acting and physicality. From the outset, Adam is showing incredible restraint which is commendable. Its relatively easier on the outside to just be outwardly angry or confused. But, Adam is…[Read more]

apparently they’re pushing it more than The Report because Marriage Story is stealing away Adam and Annette’s performance has no buzz.

Had a look on the indie spirits website and saw a host of The Report ads. I also found out, the cast basically did it pro bono and got paid very little because the budget was only $8M. It could get an ensemble award too!

hmm interesting. To be honest that could be an easy cop out for the Indies, I’d much rather the cast be nominated in their categories.

I could see something like Waves or The Farewell also getting the Robert Altman award instead of Marriage Story

will Scarlett be snubbed again do you think? Now, having seen Marriage Story I do think she deserves a nominations at the very least.

OH GOD YES I didnt say them because of spoilers but the micro expressions killed me. The chin wobble, the looking away in court, Adam when berts telling the joke and the talking to the home evaluator scenes I could go on

Just came back from Marriage Story. It is hard to articulate how much it moved me. I loved it. My #1 of the year by far even one of my favourites of all time. Baumbach films are hit or miss for me, strangely this didn’t even feel like I was watching a Baumbach film, he has matured so much.

Adam’s acting was far superior than even my high…[Read more]

Just saw Marriage Story. Scarlett should be safe for a nomination. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised or disappointed if she doesn’t win.
