The Northman, while still kinda good, was pretty disappointing.

I don’t know if this is unpopular but Anya Taylor-Joy should have at least been nominated as BA for The Witch. Harvey Scrimshaw should have been nominated as BSA and should have won. Same for Kate Dickie.

That movie was just phenomenal.

On the other hand, I really couldn’t get into The Lighthouse…

That nominations can be sometimes audacious but the actual wins are pretty stale and predictable.

The fucking shitshow oh my fucking gooooood. The on’y good thing that’s coming out of this ceremony is Dune’s sweep in the tech categories.

I knew I should have trusted my gut and stick with CODA as BP.

Let’s be blunt: if you were rooting for Ariana DeBose to fail, you’re a misogynist, an xenophobe, and a homophobe. There’s no gray area here. There’s nothing about her performance to dislike.

Y’all are so weird…

Anyways, DeBose has this in the bag. I’m actually disappointed they’re going with a role that’s already been awarded before and where the performance doesn’t really add anything much to the first one. It’s also disappointing that in a year with so much Oscar-worthy performances, televised awards agreed on awarding only one of them. Sweeps can be justified but they are always boring. Sorry.

I liked Mommy but I really have a hard time with the rest of his filmography. His films are so style over substance that I get bored really easily. The stories and characters are also kind of lackluster.

My ranking out of the 4 films I’ve seen :

1. Mommy (3.5/5)

2. Laurence Anyways (2/5)

3. Les Amours imaginaires (2/5)

4. J’ai tué ma mère (2/5)

Was Gaga truly bad? Some people said she was Razzie worthy.

I thought she was horrible. But that’s only my opinion and it clearly wasn’t shared by critics, pundits and precursors. I’m delighted by this snub but it’s a weird one.

Pros :

– Stewart, Colman and Cruz in Best Actress. Gaga snubbed.

– The Worst Person in the World in Original Screenplay.

– Dunst and Buckley in Best Supporting Actress.

Cons :

– Negga snubbed in Best Supporting Actress. Dench was namechecked

– Villeneuve’s snub is a fucking joke.

– The Worst Person in the World should have gotten into BP.
