Women Talking was pretty great :chick2:

 

Claire Foy and Ben Wishaw might have been my two faves but honestly everyone was strong. Best thing about it might have been the writing tho. :clap3:

if Colin snatches will it be the first time in history we have an Oscar winner with a massively revealing sex tape? :skull:

Blue Jasmine and TÁR will go down as the best BA winners this century along with Natalie Portman methinks.

to kylizzle, perhaps. 

 

to the 99% of people who will never watch tar even if it wins, not so much.

Including you, as evidenced by your takes on the film

Spielberg, having been nom 4 more times in BD since his last win 2 decades ago, likely to lose again top a Top 2 BP contender. He was probably closest for Lincoln, but the reason he likely didn’t win for WSS or The Fabelmans: none of these films were top two. No one really cared about either of those movies, and their awards runs were fueled by respect rather than passion. Something more original and unique (Parasite, Nomadland, EEAAO) would probably finally get him that third.

Spielberg's name gets in the way of his ability to make something like Parasite or EEAAO. If The Fabelmans had a different director people might be more open to it winning things.   I think people have an idea that Spielberg already has a lot of BD wins and might be surprised by the reality.

women talking was super cute. i don't think there were any standout performances because they were all so competent, definitely the best ensemble performance in the category.

 

tár > triangle of sadness > women talking > everything everywhere > banshees

 

still need to watch the war one and the fabelmans

If someone else did a fictional memoir of spielberg that'd be weird. If spielberg made a movie in Korean that'd be weird

The main thing that took me out of Women Talking was how well-spoken and elocuent the women were considering they couldn't read. :rip:

the NIGHTMARE it would be if in a year with chau/hsu/bassett/yeoh/davis/deadwyler as major contenders, we end up with...c8 and kerry

The way I went to The Whale expecting it to be Fraser's movie and it was actually Hong Chau's :ohwow: Same with ATJ and The Menu. Wouldn't be mad if she snatched.

Cate is serving one of the most memorable tour de forces this century. Calling her very likely win a “nightmare” is borderline idiotic and is obviously only fueled by hate - because apparently she’s white. :skull: no talking points other than this were discussed in this topic, really

..AND that she's already had 2 AND as a hollywood elite she can score more noms / wins?

 

after nicole, cate is my biggest fave and i actually really enjoyed tár but with oscars it's never been about thee best performance of the year, there's always been a narrative and michelle yeoh is more than deserving this year.

Oh I meant Mr Screen Percentage.

Besides, her having 2 previous Oscars doesn't really dim the brilliance of her performance - whether that leads to Oscar glory is a different subject matter. But I do think that she is deserving. As is Michelle, you know.

haha i understand.

 

i definitely think she's deserving, 100%. i just feel like it's michelle's time to shine, she's been criminally underrated. cate won't have to worry about getting even 4th oscar. she's the type that could score a nom with that borderlands movie :skull:

You can tell who just started paying attention to the Oscars this year by who says that. A lot of the EEAAO stans honestly sound like they’ve only ever watched a couple of movies in their entire lives :dies:

i started paying attention in 2000, when (globe/dga/bafta winner) ang lee was robbed by white supremacy. but thank you for showing your colors with your wrong statement. 

are you one of those hoping the same thing happens this year?

I did not directly address you, however it's very clear from a lot of the conversation on Twitter and other places that a lot of people who are huge stans of the film aren't as informed as to how awards season works on a fundamental level. I remember this when the Golden Globes came up and everyone was expressing surprise at JLC getting in over Stephanie Hsu. We could argue all day which was more deserving, but on what planet would the Golden Globes pass over JLC for Stephanie Hsu based on their track record?? Whether it's right or wrong is one thing, but it's just easy for me to pinpoint who has been/who has not been paying attention for that long based on some of these reactions.

 

Now, you are 100% within your right to not think it deserves to win obviously, but for someone to suggest that Cate's performance is "undeserving" is really silly. It's not a Renee Zellweger in "Judy" situation where the narrative trumps the actual work; she carries a three hour movie on the back of a wholly original performance. Between the two performances, I would vote for Cate but I would be overjoyed if Michelle Yeoh won because I thought she was quite good in the film, she's had an incredible career AND for what it would represent for history. I would also never begrudge one of best working directors (Ang Lee) of any flowers or awards, so to suggest I would simply because I may not be all in for EEAAO is just ignorant.
