“Cruel Summer” is ideal to be the next single because it doesn’t have a summer vibe, and the lyrics talk about a past summer.
Also, all who comment on the fact that it’d be weird for a “summer” song to be released in any other season, just know that “Despacito” was released in a January.

Lover is a very solid album! The production is great, similar to 1989. Personal favourites are “Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince”, “Death By A Thousand Cuts” & “Cornelia Street”.
It is safe to say that “ME!” & “You Need To Calm Down” were not the best choices for singles.
An Album of the Year nomination is not that crazy to consider, after…

1. Unbiased jury deciding category placement. This is the most difficult task for the Academy, and to be honest, it would not have to do with the mere presence of an actor in the film, but it would have to be thorough and check the whole presence in its script. Example (and an Unpopular Opinion): Meryl Streep was campaigned as a Lead for The Devil…[Read more]

It’s sad that they didn’t see “Ashes” as an amazing song in the context of its film, even though this film is Deadpool 2. Especially since they recognized All Of The Stars from Black Panther (which seems to be getting in everywhere. Visual FX? Really? Did you see Black Panther?). Pray For Me was a much suitable song and I’m mad that it was not the…[Read more]

Once again, I’m so bummed that the lists with all eligible submissions in Song, Score and the Shorts are not released in the same way that Foreign Language Film & the Docs are released. Especially in the Song, I wouldn’t have known about Patti Cake$ without the Original Song longlist last year.

Kinda bummed that the Academy won’t release the full list of eligible songs this year. I always liked going through these songs. I mean, they release the full list in Foreign Language Film & Documentary, what’s stopping them from doing the same for Score & Song?

The best female leading performance of 1997 was given by Victoire Thivisol, in Ponette.

Far From Heaven is a criminally underrated film, Moore should’ve won that year, as well as Todd Haynes and the film’s cinematographer.

Heath Ledger should’ve won for Brokeback Mountain, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman should’ve won for The Master.

Emily Blunt joins the ranks of Julianne Moore (2000, 2003), Judi Dench (2002), Patricia Clarkson (2004), Jamie Foxx (2005), Leonardo DiCaprio (2007), Cate Blanchett (2008), Kate Winslet (2009) & Helen Mirren (2016) with two individual acting nominations in a single year. However, out of these nine instances, only two have won an award, Jamie Foxx…[Read more]

Why is the Academy this bad at making a good show?

There have been several times in the past years that I have been wishing I had something to do with the telecast.

You should make a show that is a service to films. Not ABC. I think it was in 2007, when e.g. the category for Costume Design was presented, and the costumes were on stage, showing…[Read more]

LUCAS HEDGES AIN’T HERE TO PLAY WITH Y’ALL. LUCAS HEDGES IS HERE TO SLAY.

I went 3/5 on Screenplay, but at least I predicted that ASIB would be snubbed. It is the weakest part of the film, it does not deserve any nominations.

Terry Crews was not introduced as a cast member of Brooklyn Nine-Nine?

Why is no one talking about one of the greatest possible showdowns in Oscar history?
Frozen 2 vs. Toy Story 4?
If their predecessors’ quality is any proof, they could both be nominated in multiple categories, and, why not for Best Picture altogether?

I loved your response to this thread, considering the fact that you started the thread on Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk!
