Bloodflowers. Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Thank god, more films like Everything Everywhere All At Once and Parasite, less boring white mediocre trash winning Oscars should be the norm going forward

The Power of the Dog is the opposite of traditional bait OT: EEAAO is just a big crowd-pleaser and not very challenging so its not that surprising it won. The only thing it had going against it was the academy's hate for Sci-fi

With Multi-universe concept that even Marvel is struggling to communicate over multiple films? And with a small budget and small team of editors? Yup, totally not that challenging at all.
Feanor Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Cold, "highbrow" cinema like TÁR, Banshees, Power Of The Dog seems to be over at the Oscars yeah. And that's better so

Green Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 The Whale and Brendan's role is literally pure Oscar bait
Broken Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 I love seeing Oscar-bait movies FAIL, it's my daily medicine, my weekly energy, my monthly inspiration and my yearly motivation. Rest in PISS.

What post-races multiverse are you living on?
Mr. Blue_Shirt Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Oscar said NO to mediocre biopic like Elvis
Abracadabra Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) 5 hours ago, Frozen99 said: so? the point is they still won so how is the academy "saying no to oscar-bait movie" as the op say? The post I was responding to specifically said they won the most awards, which is incorrect. and those two movies may have won some awards, but the vast majority of “Oscar bait” type movies went home empty handed for less conventional choices, so OP’s point stands. Edited March 13, 2023 by Miichael
TheLastChord Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 All Quiet is Oscar bait minus the language. Aside from that, it's Oscar bait 101.

No, EEAAO checks more boxes than Avatar or Top Gun. (Twitter loves it, trendier more youthful movie, not a sequel, new directors etc). Edited March 13, 2023 by rihannafan

Enrique523 Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 I'm sorry but anyone calling EEAAO "Oscar bait" is not to be taken seriously, you have clearly no idea what you're talking about It's hilarious though to see some people FUMING over its success
Mr.Link Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) The Whale was specifically made as Oscar bait. They even casted the specific guy for it. I wonder what’s the next minority/“underdog” group they will try to milk as Oscar bait in next year’s edition. I mean Moonlight-> Green Book->Parasite ->CODA -> EEAAO and people dare say there’s no agenda Edited March 14, 2023 by Mr.Link
suburbannature Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 20 hours ago, dussel_06 said: Oscar bait: Tar Elvis Women Talking The Fabelmans AQOTWF Elvis Blonde The Whale Babylon Basically any prestige drama, biopic, and movies about movies. Non-Oscar Bait EEAAO Top Gun Banshees of Inisherin (It's just a signature McDonough Film. For some reason the academy loves to nominate him similar to David Fincher and Christopher Nolan) Avatar (Typical blockbuster movie) Triangle of Sadness (Comedy are rare to the oscars and Cannes winners are mostly ignored) Clearly you haven't seen Tar or Blonde if you think those are Oscar bait films
