Just saw Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio. Visuals were incredible and the storyline was great to follow. Definitely see why it's a frontrunner to win the Animated Feature Oscar,  especially the very ending.

Now 3 points lower than WOC masterpiece Turning Red on Metacritic.

 

Speaking of, Whale now at 60%.

Looks like it is down to audience fave Elvis vs. critical fave Banshees for Actor.

out of curiosity, for 21stc BD nominees for a great reviewed film, their current streaks of great reviewed movies (excluding docs):

Cuaron 5

Anderson, PT 5

Chazelle 4 (for now...I'd forgotten First Man was initially embraced)

Miller, B 3 (hmm, no movies in 8 years...)

Almodovar 2-3 (depending on if shorts count)

 

Spielberg 2

Hamaguchi 2

Pawlikowski 2

Gerwig 2

Jenkins, B 2

Lee, S 2

McQueen, S 2

Campion 2

The way everyone went with the online hyperbole of Fraser and the usual Venice Film Festival standing ovation in the beginning only to come to subpar mixed reviews and likelihood of a DOA BO

[MAXIMO]

Pinocchio was wonderful, rooting for it in Best Animated Film, it will be a deserved win. 

[X~MoviePoP]

I hope fraser gets SNUBBED

[Hector]

Just saw The Whale,  the way Brendan Fraser gave an incredible,  heartbreaking and transformative performance.  Leaps & bounds ahead of Austin Butler & Colin Farrell for me so I totally see why he's the frontrunner at the moment. Hong Chau was amazing & totally deserving of a Best Supporting Actress nomination. And I liked Sadie Sink,  though her best moments where in the very ending which tied the movie up well (in comparison to TAR, another performance driven movie).

LAFC and Boston critics tomorrow 

Hoping for Tang Wei to show up as runner up for LAFC

[kandicha]

yesss Tang Wei absolutely needs to show up at LAFCA. they're the one critics group that she has a chance at imo because they tend to be good about championing films from Asia, and i wouldn't be surprised if she won or was runner up.

[Donquizote]

In a perfect world, this is a line up for Best Actress:

 

Tang Wei

Michelle Yeoh

Cate Blanchett

Zahra Ebrahimi

Mia Goth

 

But sadly AMPAS will nominate the basic performances

I won't be surprised if Colman with basic performance gets nominated again
