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?

Even if it is ‘more Beale Street’ I don’t see how that affects Brown’s chances. Beale Street won an acting category and Brown is arguably almost as loved as King is currently.

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 is more Moonlight or Beale St
– The Two Popes, how are they campaigning?

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.

Since when is that a termometer for Oscars? The last time a Volpi Cup winner also won an Oscar was in 1936.

Last year Willem Dafoe won the Volpi Cup, he got nominated at the Oscars but didn’t win Best Actor prize. Phoenix himself has a Volpi Cup for “The Master”, and he doesn’t have any Oscars.

?? 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.

I’m still reluctant to predict Just Mercy for anything based off of the trailer. I feel like formulaic, melodramatic awards bait movies are sort of dated now and it’ll be really hard for Jordan to break into Best Actor even with a great performance, but here’s to hoping it turns out to be a different type of film.

Green Book and BoRhap say hi.
