movie 96th Academy Awards | Top Winners: Oppenheimer 7x, Poor Things 4x

[Donquizote]

Mulligan is the best thing for that horrible  cheap TAR movie.

It will be quite devastating if Robbie made it, but Mulligan got snubbed

[hausofdave]

Stone/Gladstone/Hüller/Mulligan/Robbie Aunjanue Ellis seems like the consensus 5, but will the apparently obvious be actually real?

[Mr. Duff]

Margot Robbie to be Adams’d for Greta Lee, yes here for it

[Kylizzle]

It sucks that Natalie Portman is so overlooked this season. Her mirror scene alone >>> everything Margot did in Barbie

Her morphing into Julianne Moore’s character and her lisp emerging was haunting af.

The trio that SHOULD be winning everything, and I say that as a fan of The Holdovers.

I need more tea on this. People always mention in Awards discussion that she's pretty horrible  

I heard about this only on certain awards boards, specifically Goldderby where there are tones of trolls with no moderation, the season she was in contention for 'The Wife' she had a very dedicated hater over there saying it and it was the only user predicting her not Oscar win that time, but I don't think there is any real evidence of this, I only know about a feud she had with Patty Lupone because she took her role on Broadway on 'Sunset Boulevard' but Patty Lupone (that personally I adore) is well notorious to feud-beef with tones of people so I don't think Close was the issue.

 

If anything, despite some media trying to insinuate she was hating Gaga on that season, she has started following Gaga on IG after the season was over and I often saw her between the likes of her posts.

 

I don't think she would have had that standing ovation that time she won the Globe for 'the Wife' if that was the case, I think she's a very respected actress in the industry and undeniably talented with iconic roles, she just has been unlucky in not winning.

Just watched Poor Things and wow. I'm not surprised Emma is snatching everything. What a performance! The film was absolutely insane, I loved it.

Poor Things isnt just for me  

 

 

 

[MAXIMO]

I will never enjoy a Yorgos film in its entirerity, I don't get him, Poor Things was just Yorgos being weird just for the sake of it.  I enjoyed the visuals and definitely Emma Stone's performance, she's clearly the one who is doing the most acting in her lineup, I don't think she deserves the win, but I won't be mad.

Why is A24 REFUSING to expand Zone of Interest 

 

I'm literally on my knees begging to give those b*tches my money and see the movie. I'll drive an hour if I have to. 

25 theaters last week, 82 theaters this week. idk if any are near you though.

 

I'm assuming it'll expand more after Oscar noms so it can use that as promo.

[Liafen]

Still amazed by her performance. GoldDerby users seem to be Little Voysters too!

Saoirse coming next year...

I actually like Robbie quite a bit in Barbie but if awards were given purely on merit Natalie would have swept this year

[truthteller]

the Holdovers is cute and intimate. really appreciate the throw-back style/aesthetics and the modern twist. they really pull of the old timey vibe without compiling all the cliches and overly dramatic performances 

[Arcadius]

I’d kinda gag if “I’m Just Ken” snatched the Oscar. Not like Billie needs it and it’d still be for Barbie.

This feels so appropriate.

[teresaguidice]

poor things was excellent. i loved the favourite but am happy yorgos went back to his vision and pulled away from the more mainstream path it seemed he was on. the holdovers is the real sneak by the awards bodies. 

i won't argue that the leads are all quite good, but the script is so saccharine and obvious, the final 20 minutes especially. unrelenting pastiche with nothing new, down to the filter trying to make it look like it was shot on film. i know i shouldn't be shocked that awards bodies like a film like this that's simple and goes down smooth, but i really expected more from alexander payne. oh well.

Good lord. Annoying af. 

It's not a Best song for social change award.

IJK winning BOS would be amazing and well-deserved.

You being the person to say this only validates the video even more in my eyes.

[Kylizzle]

I'm Just Ken is a funny moment but if we're evaluating actual song quality... it sucks. Billie deserves that second Oscar.
