no matter how great or acting masterclass the foreign movies performances were, The so called academy awards always put the popularity first, not the greatness of the performance. If they really reward the best of the best, the list of foreign performances winners would be (actresses only):

Liv Ullmann, Face to Face (1976)

Ingrid Bergman,…[Read more]

This year Oscar were boring. That impersonation, seizure like performance by Renee Zellweger won and that awful acting in Harriet got nominated instead Alfre Woodard in Clemency. The lineup would be better if :

Awkwafina, The Farewell

Alfre Woodard, Clemency

Cho Yeo Jeong, Parasite

Scarlett Johansson, Marriage Story

Florence Pugh, Midsommar

Unpopular opinion: Ed Sheeran for All of the Stars from The Fault in Our Stars

the production design were great though

I’m badly disappointed by that atrocious Alien³ and the campy Alien Resurrection. But if there’s any movie that wasted a really great potential, i’m going with Covenant. The adventure to the Engineer planet. Wow. But the execution was lackluster, feels like a standard action adventure violent horror movie.

 

many of the critics agree that she should have won

A little movie called Titanic (1997). I hope people will come to see this underseen gem 🙂

opinion people. Opinion

for me, there’s only two that i agree, Parasite and Moonlight. There’s better alternative for the rest of the winner

i actually have some mixed feelings about Portman in Closer. That ‘where is this love’ monologue were stiff, emotionless, and borderline Razzieworthy. Great list though!

Because you love her, the world will open to you like a magnificent vagina!

Weaver in Aliens is a masterclass of acting. Should have won hands down.

Ellen Burstyn reaction to Glenda Jackson in 1974 Oscars. “No sh*t!” Always makes me laugh

1. 2013: Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine (Great alternative: Adele Exarchopoulos, Blue Is The Warmest Color)

2. 2010: Natalie Portman, Black Swan (Great alternative: Michelle Williams, Blue Valentine)

3. 2018: Olivia Colman, The Favourite (Great alternative: Yalitza Aparicio, Roma)

4. 2015: Brie Larson, Room (Great alternative: Charlotte Rampl…[Read more]

What a weak decade for best supporting actress winners. The ranking is so hard because none of these ‘winners’ are my favourite. Because you know, popularity over quality.

1. Lupita…[Read more]

I really want to see the Oscars without an oscar bait bullsh*t. Time for more original and fresh ideas to get recognized.
