No drama has ever lost Best Picture after winning PGA + SAG Ensemble + a major award at BAFTA.
So there actually was a stat in CODA’s favor the entire time, despite it breaking the stat of a film with so little nominations never winning before.
And it was said the entire season – Power of the Dog does not have mass appeal. This was made clear by the hosts: a joke about how long Power of the Dog feels, whereas CODA received nothing but love from them. PotD is ultimately a downer with no sympathetic protagonist, and probably requires the viewer to have an understanding of gay anguish to get the most out of it.
CODA, despite being very basic in both the filmmaking and screenplay, ultimately is uplifting and didn’t feel like a film that was trying to get Oscars. So in a way that was refreshing for voters in this field.
It’s a horrible win though, definitely one of the worst ever for me. Movies with such unsophisticated cinematography, editing, and mise-en-scene do not deserve to take top honors. And the movie is a lie – all of the conflict just gets magically resolved, in an especially unrealistic way, because the main character is NOT a great singer and doesn’t even have a good audition, and yet gets a college scholarship off that? LOL. This is the kind of TV movie that you watch for quick pick-me-up and then move on from, it doesn’t have lasting value.

Cotillard and Christie shouldn’t have been nominated. I love Cotillard but that performance is overrated because of the makeup job and biopic angle, it’s a whole lot of histrionics and didn’t make me feel the soul of Edith Piaf. Meanwhile Christie does fine work but is far from displaying the full depth of what alzheimers does to a person.

Kotsur won easily, LOL. The Ensemble win for the film makes it crystal clear.
He is winning the Oscar and has been the obvious winner for months now. It’s too bad the Goldderby system doesn’t have an early prediction bonus for those who have the forsight to see past echo chamber nonsense like Stewarts and Smits.

ReplyFebruary 25, 2022 at 5:19 pm #1204817611None of them would have won. As we can see with Glenn Close, you need a better vehicle than a TV Movie, unless your overdue narrative comes in a year with no viable competition (aka, how Moore won in 2014).

Absolutely not.
Nolan films are generally full of thought and emotion. The Prestige, Inception, and Interstellar are all-timers. The Dark Knight is close as well. Memento highly influential.
It would be a nice change of pace for him to do something less action-oriented though.

Disagree, some of the most inspired speeches come from the Shorts categories, they are so excited to be there.

Lynn Redgrave – Kinsey
Dennis Boutsikaris – Violet
Denis O’Hare – SwallowHarriet Walter for The Last Duel is not quite what I would call a “very small” role, but definitely still small and she nailed it and deserves some attention.

February 20, 2022 at 11:40 pm #1204811463Belfast’s depiction isn’t reductionist, it’s a story that’s largely from the eyes of a child and about one specific family, it was never trying to be some broad historical document. Manav is correct that the concept of “religious persecution, needing to leave your homeland because of violence, and the difficulty of doing so” is easily understandable and all the film needed to convey about the setting, which it does. The problem with the screenplay is how it fails to develop the characters and their journey more meaningfully. It’s a very nice, charming little movie though.
