it really just depends on what you like out of a performance. I did not think Stone was miscast, she was perfect and played Abigail exactly how she should have.

I just found Lady Sarah Churchill’s character the most interesting after rewatches. I left the movie thinking that she was the foundation for the whole story. She kind of had to set…[Read more]

yupp. btw Clayton is brave for picking The Favourite for Best Picture.

true. that’s probably vote splitting due to some people wanting to vote for supporting actress vs limited series actress. also, people loveee to vote for Patricia Arquette, idk why, but they do. That released at the right time for voters to forget about Sharp Objects.

I think she will get her win, she’s been in too many great movies and is a…[Read more]

I don’t think it’s her teams fault, it’s Vice for being a divisive movie and her role not being one that people want her to win for. When she has had great roles like American Hustle, Arrival, Nocturnal Animals, even The Fighter.. Vice isn’t one worth winning.

my rankings…

for winning:

1) Rachel Weisz
2) Regina King
3) Marina de Tavira
4)…[Read more]

yeah I agree above about not wanting an All About Eve remake, I can see The Women getting remade, but leave the former alone.

I have soo many favorite’s it’s hard to list them, but two underrated actresses that I wish had better roles coming to them is Diane Kruger and Eva Green.

Diane was fantastic in Inglorious Basterds and her two season tv…[Read more]

this is why it’s been so hard for Foreign films to even get nominated for Best Picture, let alone win…

just watched Tom Jones on The Criterion Channel…

if that can win Best Picture, The Favourite should be winning easily. granted they are very different films, but that’s a period piece that had a lot going on in it, suggestions of rape, multiple suitors, animal violence, crazy over the top typical period characters. it may have been inventive at…[Read more]

really love the fact that both of the wins tonight were for Female led movies and one of the screenplay writers is a woman.

it’s insane.

Congrats to Nicole Holofcener and Jeff Whitty, finally a little love for CYEFM this year.

Sooo Happy for Bo Burnham, Eighth Grade is a great little movie. definitely watch it if you haven’t, it is on Amazon Prime Video.

now i’m hoping nothing crazy happens at the Oscars bc The Favourite deserves this win.

^ that’s one that I need to rewatch, its been a few years for me too and I don’t remember too much from it. Sicario is where I really noticed Villeneuve. great review, I’ll definitely watch it again!

I finally saw You Were Never Really Here tonight, and wow. a lot to take in, but Lynne Ramsey did a fantastic job. a little slow of a beginning, but…[Read more]

Amy Adams’ mom won an Oscar before her 😂 so funny. love this.

Jimmy Kimmel

I love it too, and so funny I was back and forth or Weisz or Adams upsetting at SAG that I even said at one point, “maybe all this worrying means nothing and Blunt is going to win” – sure enough Blunt won. Adams and Stone are definitely done, De Tavira could shockingly surprise though, I don’t count her out.

soo many great shots this year, a few that I loved…

Burning

Vox Lux

Wildlife

wait you didn’t see them?…

no problem! love that this can be an actual discussion. I get your points, i’m still not sure if The Academy is going to give out two awards to two actresses that have an “overdue” narrative. So, in either this category or Best Actress I definitely think there will be an upset of the frontrunner. Unless it’s a…[Read more]

looks very entertaining. sooo happy Octavia got this role, she’s going to be great. with this, a tv show, and and Luce coming during Oscar season, Octavia is going to have another great year.

Burning is reallyy good. it definitely is a slow burn but after the first hour it ramps up a lot, great cinematography too.

as much as I love Weisz ( have said before she is my fav performance of the year, I also did like King’s performance and I am glad she got the nom) I’ve really just been coming at this as objectively as I can. I rooted so hard for Stallone to win, and thought he would have no issues winning, he even got a standing ovation when he won his Golden…[Read more]
