About Brokeback Mountain, that film could have won (and it did) Director, Screenplay, Score, even the acting categories, but they'd have never given it BP, it's their main award, it was like they were trying to "protect" it from that film. I think a movie that wins Director and Screenplay, even acting, it should be granted the Best Picture award, if it's not it was clearly because there where political/social reasons behind it. Yeah Gravity losing to 12YAS was an absolute joke

It was the first massive box office success story since the pandemic. that would be spider man no way home sweetie Everything Everywhere's box office story is much more interesting anyway. top gun 2 being the sequel of a year's #1 hit, starring a guy who's still churning out action hits is not as big of a surprise 3 minutes ago, family.guy123 said: Yeah Gravity losing to 12YAS was an absolute joke this is not relevant at all to the post you responded to. gravity wasn't even nominated for writing, they're talking about movies that won writing AND directing.

Oh you’re right. Could’ve sworn it picked that one up too. still stand by my statement though. How you gonna award one film 7 Oscar’s including best director and then say it ain’t the best of the year
Donquizote Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 EEAAO is only guaranteed to win Supporting Actor for now. Director is still up in the air especially since Daniels LOST at Globes.

The humor was not it whatsoever (hot dog fingers ) and the emotional beats failed to really deliver. Regardless, Michelle was the best part of it and deserves all the acclaim. Stephanie Hsu seems nice but I was not impressed with her performance at all nnn It was a good movie but people need to stop saying that it's the best movie of the year because it's clearly not
Donquizote Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 I also don't get why critics rally behind the Daniels for Director when in fact Todd Field and Park gave better direction

Seems like voters ignored it because they already gave Parasite and Minari (an American movie ) awards.
Donquizote Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Hoping for Todd to win BAFTA and finally Oscar. Thinking Spielberg will take DGA.
Dark Phoenix Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 My Best Picture preferences: The Fabelmans > Tár > EEAAO > All Quiet on the Western Front > Triangle of Sadness > Elvis > Top Gun: Maverick >> Avatar 2 Still not watched: Women Talking and Banshees of Inisherin
teresaguidice Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 i am starting to think andrea could win. older side of the academy doesn't like when social media tries to pressure them and tends to vote for their targets and the younger side of acting branch might rally to support her as well. plus cate's speech at critic's choice basically saying awards are pointless. i kind of see it now.

Donquizote Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 I mean general audience usually prefer basic movie like EEAAO. While it's a good popcorn movie, I don't get why it sweeps critics awards Tar deserves to win tbh, but I see many voters prefer something basic like Fabelmans/EEAAO/Banshees
fridayteenage Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Writing and Directing winners each year; their record with acting/writing/directing, 2 points for winning a field, 1 point for being nominated in a field: Coda Act, Writing (4), Dog Director, act, writing (4), Belfast Writing, act, dir (4) Nomadland Dir, Act, wtg (5); Father Writing, Act (4), Promising Writing, act, dir (4) Parasite Dir, Wtg (4); Jojo Rabbit Wtg, act (3) Green Book Wtg, Act (4), Roma Dir, act, wtg (4), Klansman Wtg, dir, act (4) Shape of Water Dir, wtg, act (4), Get Out Wtg, act, dir (4); Your Name Wtg, act (3) Moonlight Wtg, Act, dir (5), La La Land Dir, Act, wtg (5), Manchester Wtg, Act, dir (5) Spotlight Wtg, dir, act (4), Revenant Dir, Act (4), Big Short Wtg, dir, act (4) Birdman Dir, Wtg, act (5); Imitation Game Wtg, act, dir (4) Slave Wtg, Act, dir (5); Gravity Dir, act (3), Her Wtg (2) Django Act, Wtg (4); Argo Wtg, act (3), Life of Pi Dir, wtg (3) Artist Dir, Act, wtg (5); Descendants Wtg, dir, act (4), Midnight Wtg, dir (3) King's Speech Dir, Act, Wtg (6); Social Network Wtg, dir, act (4) Hurt Locker Dir, Wtg, act (5), Precious Wtg, Act, dir (5) Milk Wtg, Act, dir (5); Slumdog Dir, Wtg (4) Old Men Wtg, Act, Dir (6); Juno Wtg, act, dir (4) Departed Dir, Wtg, act (5); Miss Sunshine Wtg, Act (4) Brokeback Dir, Wtg, act (5), Crash Wtg, dir, act (4) 2012 was a weird year. Affleck still won directing at dga/bafta/globe; he would have won Directing with the academy at large if the directors themselves didn't exclude him. I fail to see how top gun could be comparable to recent history; it'd be the first BP since 1932 to miss at least 2/3 of acting, writing, directing.

wesleywalrus Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Field should win director. Daniels could've cut a good 20 minutes in between the 2nd/3rd act.
Riot Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 The real recent robbery was George Miller not winning Best Director for Mad Max: Fury Road

G.U.Y. Gaga Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 The way I only see Bi people of color EEAAO was cute
Donquizote Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 The Daniels is overrated and hoping that AMPAS members vote for Field instead

Everything typical awards bait isn’t. It could have just as easily not happened and probably wouldn’t have if it didn’t have a star as big as Cate with a performance as excellent as the one she gave.

I'm usually not into 'ready for film school analysis' type movies but this one had me hooked from start to finish. It's so atmospheric and beautifully shot too.
Kylizzle Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Awards bait movies don't have endings like TAR.
