looks like she'll be the first native american nominee ever.

(for whatever reason, it's happened to a few native canadians before but not native american.)

 

And this + Irishman would be the 2 longest Best Picture nominees in the last 45 years. Netflix + Apple being a bottomless bank for him.

They need to start making these long ass movies that are going on streaming anyway 2 parters. There would be fuss about the awards eligibility and that needs to be sorted out, but it would 100% help the numbers and make them feel so much less exhausting and more approachable. No one watches those movies at home in one sitting and no one likes pausing a movie somewhere randomly in the middle.

KOTFM 91

May December 83

 

excited for Haynes

 

 

[harwee]

"Strange Way of Life" is a hot ticket at Cannes

 

 

Also, looking forward to seeing Blackberry.

 

 

 

[Donquizote]

Greta Lee was great in Past Lives.

I don't mind if she sweeps TRIFECTA this season

Finally a worthy Asian winner  

[Antisocialites]

Sandra Huller’s Anatomy of a Fall getting Beat Actress and Sandra Huller’s The Zone of Interest getting Palm d’Or, I see the vision.

[Donquizote]

Firebrand PANNED by critics

Vikander cant catch a break after stealing Queen Kate's Oscar

[Kylizzle]

Not buying that Oppenheimer/KOTFM/any other big project can win BP with the current landscape. Almost certain Past Lives will snatch that unless it's not as good as we've been lead to believe

I don’t see it for Past Lives, it feels like this might be the year that ends the returning director dry spell in BP.

I kind of hope so because Past Lives trailer didn't blow me away whereas KOTFM looks immaculate. 

[Donquizote]

Past Lives is a cute movie with great performances. It will get nominated for BP, but I doubt it will win.

The Zone of Interest has been gaining momentum. I think it has solidified itself as the frontrunner to win BP for now.

[Donquizote]

Rooting for Greta Lee, Queen Kate, Sandra, Jessica Lange to get nominated for Best Actress.

[Donquizote]

After Tang Wei was grossly SNUBBED last year, I think it's time for AMPAS to make up their mistake and nominate Greta this year

[Blade Runner]

They're coming. 

 

[fridayteenage]

mmm, i'm sure netflix will handle with sensitivity a movie about the long term effects of the sexual exploitation of asian children

 

[Gui Blackout]

Asteroid City getting raves

 

the girls are bringing it in Cannes!

[Stepfon]

This season > last season (already) 

[pigeon]

May December is nowhere near as campy as people are making it out to be.
