That reminds me, I really need to rewatch that beaut of a film.

The internet is going to riot over every Brendan Fraser snub from now until March.

Shout-out to Mia Goth getting the nomination for Pearl. I still don't think she has a shot at Oscar recognition but she absolutely deserves it. My favorite performance of the year

No gender categories suck.

Instead of 4 winners in each acting category, we get only 2. How does this help anybody? this is not inclusivity, this is just dumb

> “Women Talking” won the Robert Altman award which is given to one film’s director, casting director and ensemble cast. When awarded, the actors of the film cannot be nominated in the acting categories, which explains the omissions of contenders Jessie Buckley, Claire Foy and Rooney Mara.

Just hoping EEAAO holds it’s awards momentum over the next couple months 🤞🏻

Classic example of solving problems that don’t exist.

Fingers crossed that it makes it to the Oscars.

Honestly this award season is a toss up between EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE and THE FABELMANS. I can absolutely see EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE taking Best Picture on Oscar night.

I think its crazy how this movie came out early 2022 and we are still talking about it. A true masterpiece

Having watched both TAR and EEAAO, I can say Michelle Yeoh gave the best performanceof the year, hands down, in the lead actress category. As much as I love Cate Blanchett in TAR, I don’t think she is astronomically better than her competition and Yeoh’s performance resonated with me in a way that Blanchett’s never did. I’d be so pumped if Yeoh won the Oscar.

It is bound to get at least five Oscar nominations and a few more are possible.

I saw crazy hype from everywhere about this movie. Literally everyone was telling me how amazing it was… I finally watched it last night, and I think it was just okay. I didn’t hate it. It was entertaining, but almost a bit too weird.

It felt like a direct spoof of Inception, and The Matrix combined.

Sorry if you’re one of the many who thinks it’s the best movie ever made, I just strongly disagree. Again don’t get me wrong I enjoyed watching it. I found many scenes very funny, then others felt like they were trying too hard. Butt plugs come to mind lol.

The one I’m really hoping for is Ke Huy Quan getting an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Man was absolutely unbelievable, the best performance in a movie already packed with incredible performances, and I can completely see him losing to Tom Hanks’ shitty Elvis performance or something

The problem with acting is the number of potential winners. You have usually one director, one screenwriter, one composer and others for a movie and two or more leads and dozens of support making it a lot harder to get an award.

But dividing it based on whatever someone is female or male doesn't feel right. Having two award for leads and two for support with no distinction doesn't work. There is probably simply no good solution. Personally I would simply leave it as it was saying it's tradition and it's allows to double the awards instead of removing it.

I loved Tár, but Cate Blanchett’s won the Oscar twice already and these shows are all about the game, so Michelle better win. She was incredible as Evelyn. EEAAO still makes me cry and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it.

If Ke doesn’t win, I’ll never watch the Oscars again and I’ve been watching since the Billy Crystal years. Film nerds are keeping that show afloat.

They’d better!

Game of the Year: Brendan Frasier

also is this ranked choice? if not you have a winner with potentially 10.1 percent of the vote how the fuck is that a good system lmao

it's been holding it since April. been great seeing the naysayers on /r/oscarrace in shambles.

I am the only other person on the internet who thinks the movie was good but not amazing. I’d give it an 8/10, glad I saw it but won’t be rushing to rewatch or hyping it up to other people beyond saying it was good

Its rare to see an actual best movie of the year win Best Picture. EEAAO would be a worthy winner

It was a very Reddit demographic movie. It does some cool things and despite being the millionth multiverse movies it does some cool things with it. But damn is it hard to get through without cringing at the attempts at humor.

There was nothing wrong with it in the first place

We just need to have a level playing field. If you want more winners you can just give out more prizes. It’s a bs. argument

Gender is a bullshit construct with no actual use.

[deleted]

Wait, are they only giving out one award for the 10 nominees? I thought they would take the top 2.

No Oscar but between X and Pearl I think her career has been made this year.

I used to do a Onion style website about movies and my favorite article I wrote was Oscar's Shocker: Best Picture Wins Best Picture when Parasite won

Can’t wait for the Oscars

I think nominations are all but guaranteed at this point. Don't know if it'll win but it's definitely getting in. My predictions are nominations for Yeoh, Curtis and Quan and Best Picture, but I think Picture will be it's win out of all of them.

The Independent Spirit Awards are the “best personality” awards of Hollywood

Adding a featured actress/actor category makes sense for me. Someone who is only featured in a few scenes.

The supporting acting category is often hacked by having performances that are basically 2nd leads (Christoph Waltz in Django Unchained, Catherine Zeta-Jones in Chicago ect) which truly is unfair to compete against a scene-stealing featured performance.

indie winners who were oscar snubbed

ellen page won the indie for 'Juno'

the GG separate drama from comedy so both winners get a fair chance on the night

ellen page won the indie best actress for 'Juno'

Man, SO many critics and reviewers I highly regard just gushed over this movie. I finally watched it and I thought it was decent and fairly creative, but not the earth shattering incredible movie everyone makes it out to be.

I saw this when it was out at the cinemas. Everyone in the room was having a blast all the way through. Every comment I’ve seen that is like yours was from people who watched it at home. It’s not the same experience.

[removed]

I know Blanchett is probably favourite against Yeoh, but who would be up against Quan, assuming he’s nominated for best supporting?

No you don’t get a 2nd best actor award. And they would certainly want to avoid the chaos of 2 men potentially winning.

It was also bound to get 5 spirit nominations and a few more were possible.

Judd Hirsch is shockingly strong and despite the fact that he's only in one scene in The Fablemans, could end up rallying the older subsect of the actors branch who apparently aren't appreciating the film at Academy screenings so far (though it should be noted that the overall reception at these screenings seems to be enthusiastically positive). Variety currently has Hirsch pulling an upset, though most places and current betting odds have Quan winning easily.

Seems you just don't have the same taste as a majority of Oscar voters.

Tom Hanks isn’t getting in for Elvis

Wouldn't it still not count since it wasn't at all the best movie?

I’m saying that he shouldn’t, but it’s the Oscars. Rita Wilson doesn’t ride Tom Hanks’ dick as hard as the Oscars.

Brendan Gleeson for Banshees of Inisherin?

I haven’t seen it, but reading about it seems like it’s a dual lead film, no? (Farrell & Gleeson)

I still don't think she has a shot at Oscar recognition but she absolutely deserves it.

According to their "for your consideration" ads, Gleeson is supporting and Farrell lead.

I'm sad John Mulaney won't be hosting with Nick Kroll they have insane chemistry

I'd love to have seen Barry Keoghan get a nod for supporting, he was fantastic too

That movie was a great nap

He didn't get in for News of the World which was more well received (in terms of his performance) than Elvis. Supporting Actor is not weak this year. It's unlikely he will get in.

He could get in if the film over performs.

Zoe Kazan has not changed her name.

Nah.

I don't get it - why is everyone on this movie's dick? It was funny but so awkward 80% of the time, I thought it was a film-student's film.

[deleted]

The Oscar’s have actually not really recognized Tom in like the last 20 years. He ‘finally’ got recognized for his portrayal of Mr Rogers but that was after at least 3-4 roles he was in the conversation for in the last ten years and didn’t get in for.

Saw it twice, both times on mushrooms. The second time in imax. I loved that movie.

I didnt have the balls to watch it on shrooms haha. Ur brave asf

I watched it in theatres too. It just didn't hit me at all. It got too goofy and I couldn't take the movie seriously. But then I also don't like comedies, and this movie delved too deep into the comedy genre for my taste.

I thought it was a solid 6/10. Too goofy, too random and the main plot was too lame. It was trying too hard for me to care about the daughter who I absolutely did not care for. I was way more invested in the mom's and dad's plot but they kind of forget about them half way through when it suddenly became all about the kid.

Seen it twice it hit harder the second time and I wouldn't mind a 3rd viewing it's so so so damn good. Perfection really.

??

Yes?

And what will happen to Spielberg’s film after it loses? Thrown in the trash and be forgotten all because it flopped financially?

That is a great movie. Good luck.

Idk I guess it depends on how good yr relationship is w/your ma

//maybeee a lil more if you're a child of an immigrant too haha

Part of big reason why it hit so hard for me ha

lmao Spielberg will be fine, god forbid you realize that cinema exists outside of Fabelmans or anything Spielberg adjacent.

Reddit demographics is a lanky white dude in his 20s lol

This movie hits hard if you're a minority and 1st gen.

The multiverse thing is nothing but a far far back drop to the real meat which is the daughter's relationship with her mom.

If I was going to compare this to something it would be Lady bird not Dr. Strange lmfao

And compared to Ladybird it's 10x better w/o a doubt.

>MTG enthusiasts

>Cryptobro

Lol of course ya don't get it.

The majority of Oscar voters don't even watch the films they vote on.

Both GoldDerby and Variety predict that Quan will win. Hanks is 11th on one and 24th on the other so he is unlikely to be nominated and has absolutely no chance to win. The winner will definitely be either Quan or Gleeson.

Mescal has no chance to win but Frankie Corio will definitely get the breakthrough award and Aftersun will win first feature.

This is clearly the Best Picture winner right?

Yeah, I cried every time I saw it too. Really great film!

[deleted]

It’s a movie that really is stunning on the big screen. I also think it’s important to watch it without taking a break. The sequences of images and verse jumping did something chemically to my mind to make my brain feel very altered, in a way that left me feeling profoundly changed for better. If you’re watching it in tv and getting up to get a drink and go pee and let the dog in you break up the stream of consciousness and you don’t get to that place.

Aubrey has no chance in Emily. Did anyone even see that movie ?

Oh man, it was rewarding once you get past the initial nausea

I'm kinda embarrassed that when I saw her name and saw that she was starring in this kinda exploitation flick like "X" I just assumed she was a pornstar turned actress like Sasha Grey...

Check out some of her earlier work. She's great in A Cure for Wellness and the Suspiria remake

Separating them by gender is kind of stupid though, it's the same job. If they want more awards they can have more winners

Suspiria was great, horror isn't really my genre, but I gave it a try after X

Yeah I was super excited because of all the hype but it just didn’t hit for me at all. It was not bad but also nothing special.

I named my dog Winston Noodles Jobu-tubaki nuff said.

How many movies have they made about the complicated relationship between a tiger mom and a Gen z daughter lmao... just cause it was convoluted and confusing, with gay innuendoes doesn't make it dope lol... shit was super duper regular

Whoah Whoah Whoah, I’m an mtg player and I liked it! Foul ball!

Oh wow, I thought this came out like 2 years ago, so much has been going on lately

Crossing my hotdogs

You should watch Emma then. She's got a supporting turn in that.

I love me some late night noms

There is literally no way to verify this

I still often think about his delivery of "Sour shoes Ronan"

Nom nom nom. Mmmmm.. Nom nom nom nom nom.

Ethan Hawke in First Reformed was something else. Impeccable acting!

Yes it was not good

I don't know what roles Sasha Grey has been in since but she's now a Twitch streamer.

It’s unlikely that it’ll win Picture without something else up right? Either Screenplay or an acting win.

She was also the lead in von Trier‘s Nymphomaniac

As it should, best film and best experience in a cinema Ive had in years. It would be a crime if this didn't clean up in the awards season.

[deleted]

At no

I want to call out Dale Dickey, who I think is one of the most underrated actresses working today and always delivers her all in so many great performances.

Depressing that a movie having a life of more than 6 months is now some epic milestone

Everybody loves Waymond

Oh Hello, have you seen their Netflix broadway special? They're a comedy duo reminiscent of old hollywood

I watched it at home, just a couple weeks ago. I was fucking floored. All the hype I’d heard about it didn’t even come close to how great it was. I texted my friend immediately after it was over, still in tears, and he was like “yep. Same.” I need to watch it again.

What do you mean actual best movie?

My absolute favorite of the year.

[deleted]

Oscar? No way, but it was a quality genre performance

You should watch the original Suspiria if you thought the remake was even acceptable. You’ll love it

I did and I enjoyed it and her performance in it but it didn’t seem award worthy to me.

She put that movie on her back and ran with it, gave the best monologue of the year, and acted her ass off during the closing credits. The only reason it's not being considered for the Oscar is because of the genre

I feel like that movie came out years ago

Nah, it's definitely weighted much more towards Farrell. 90% of the film is from his perspective and we very rarely see Gleeson alone without him.

I think it's a great 90-100 minute film that was kind of exhausting at over 2 hours. If you showed me any random sequence, I'd love it, but sitting through it at the cinema, I found it just too much.

Yes and it was very watchable, but not top tier amazing.

I saw it on a giant IMAX screen and didn't get the hype. (Except for the rocks scene. That was good).

All downvotes cant handle reality
