What did we learn last year? Don’t underestimate Willem.

Thomasin is going supporting.

Old men don’t like popular thing, news at 11.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Anything is better than Joker discourse, but really? Who cares? MCU stans can’t just be content that the thing they love is the most successful franchise of all time, they have to scream and stomp their feet at any and all opposition. Embarrassing.</p>

Not nearly interesting enough to justify all the fuss over it. This movie has nothing to say but is playing dress up in the clothes of movies that do. Someone needs to make a serious inquiry into the water quality in Venice.

Y’all must not be hanging on the same twitter I am, the (correct) consensus outside of fanboy circles is that Joker is nowhere near interesting enough to justify this much discussion. Go outside.

It won’t be coming out of left field, Just Mercy was always happening.

I’m totally out of the theater loop, why does everyone hate Erivo?

he’s so basic he makes me puke every year jfc

You’re right! But his competition will be stronger than Regina’s was. I want him in but I have him just outside for now.

This category was so empty last year and now it’s hard to narrow down to 5. Living for it.

Dafoe, The Lighthouse
Foxx, Just Mercy
Pitt, OUATIH
Hanks, ABDITN
Bale, Ford v Ferrari

Bubbling under:
– the Irishman men, looks right now like Netflix is putting their energy towards Marriage Story so I’m waiting for reviews
– Brown, we’ll see if Waves…[Read more]

Please actually mount a campaign this year, A24!

And the male winner was still nominated, even though NOBODY saw the movie.

If it lands, it’ll be a real contender. None of the presumed frontrunners have the ~Importance~ factor going for them. I’m getting those odds while they’re still low.

?? The last time a Volpi Cup winner won an Oscar was literally this year. Have we forgotten Saint Olivia already?

Last year there were a lot of MALE winners that won despite being horrible. The standards are higher for women. Being likable is a must.

Green Book and BoRhap say hi.

Mostly excellent choices here. In addition:

Anya Taylor Joy and Ralph Ineson – The Witch
Mary Elizabeth Winstead – 10 Cloverfield Lane
Garance Marillier – Raw
Jessica Chastain – Crimson Peak
Song Kang-ho – Thirst
Eihi Shiina – Audition
Jeremy Irons – Dead Ringers
Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum – The Fly
Chris Sarandon – Fright Night
Brooke Adams -…[Read more]

She’s always been honest about being horrible. It’s not refreshing, just the same old Scarjo shit. You could not pay me enough to be that girl’s publicist.

Move along now Scarlett, try not to bring Adam down with you.
