Lovett Posted December 13 Posted December 13 1 minute ago, NoAngelus said: Do you have eyes? Brain? There's your evidence. In case you don't get it because you are blinded by your stan card I am sorry for you, you don't know first thing about good looking movies that actually deserve praise and awards for doing amazing work. Instead of just relying on CGI and making ugly and cheap looking movie. If you had seen Furiosa you wouldn't be here embarrassing yourself while defending movie like Wicked. So, that's a big NO on the evidence front. If you can't actually prove your accusations, maybe just say that instead of personally attacking me because you've got your panties all bunched up that people are rightly praising Wicked's incredible sets, production design and special effects. The only person embarrassing themselves here is you. Because your hilarious argument can be used against the film you're crying about too. I guess you'll just have to stay mad that Furiosa wasn't just ignored by the public. 3 1
Tm4074 Posted December 13 Posted December 13 1 hour ago, NoAngelus said: Not most, but those that mostly do rely on visual effects and CGI do not deserve any nominations in technical categories. But Wicked's success at awards circut was decided months in advance so... Like I said, nothing's organic in hollywood these days. Lmao not you thinking Hollywood was ever organic in the first place. Why do you think studios campaign months in advance for Oscar recognition? For fun? No they want to get nominated so they use it for marketing and therefore increase profits. This has been happening since day 1. Hollywood is a business first and foremost. Oscars were created by Hollywood for Hollywood. It's not charity or a niche award. Wicked was actually not on anybody's awards radar until close to its release, It's one of the later breaking movies. So you're wrong again. Best Visual Effects is literally a technical category at the Oscars. How do movies that don't use CGI or visual effects get nominated in that category then if movies who use them don't deserve recognition in the technical categories? You make no sense. 1 1

Sure Harvey Weinstein started campaigns in late 90s but they were mostly for one acting nom per season because he was the only one doing it. These days campaigns are for all fields and all studios do it. 1
Lovett Posted December 13 Posted December 13 Just now, NoAngelus said: The Nile is a river in Africa. I kinda love that you don't see the irony in this statement. Absolutely hysterical.
Kylizzle Posted December 13 Posted December 13 The way Maria looks 50x better than Wicked. I'd love to know what the budget was. Probably the most gorgeous film of the year. 2
Dark Miracles Posted December 13 Posted December 13 (edited) Ian McKellen & Michaela Coel in a Soderbergh film coming maybe next year https://deadline.com/2024/12/steven-soderbergh-casts-the-christophers-michaela-coel-james-corden-1236199786/ Anyway, regarding Wicked, I haven't seen it but I've seen some pictures of impressive looking sets, but I do agree that in a lot of the pre-release footage it kinda looks like the average Netflix series (pejorative) Edited December 13 by Dark Miracles
EnigmaticAndroid Posted December 13 Posted December 13 (edited) 2 hours ago, NoAngelus said: I'm sorry but this is getting technical noms I agree the cinematography is a mess (and will NOT be getting nominated at the Oscars), but the rest of the film is technically strong. The fact that the amazing practical work looks the way it does really is an indictment of the way it's shot. Edited December 13 by EnigmaticAndroid 2

Likingstars Posted December 13 Posted December 13 So The Substance snatches both GG and CC for BA and BSA. Whats the chance of them getting Oscar noms too? It would be a big win for horror fan like me 1
harwee Posted December 13 Posted December 13 Juror #2 and Ghostlight and should be in the conversation more (at least on screenplays). Wicked will be the stronger "boxoffice entry" this year at the oscar, not Dune 2 If The Brutalist completely bombs, the race will open wider

Blade Runner Posted December 13 Posted December 13 What's up with this bullsh+t of Nicole potentially missing? Are we INSANE? WTF 1
Konril Posted December 13 Posted December 13 I'm absolutely delighted The Substance is getting love for ATL nominations but I really want to see the technical aspects of it also rewarded (Cinematography, Sound, Editing).

WTF Don't act shocked, she's been snubbed for all her non-baity roles. And only has 2 nominations in the last 10 years despite all her roles. The voters just don't fw her. 1

fridayteenage Posted December 14 Posted December 14 I remember being surprised when she didn't make it in the end despite natalie's sweep.
McNulty Posted December 14 Posted December 14 -Saturday Night Fun movie with great cast, hoping for Screenplay nomination -Conclave Great movie in every possible way, Ralph Fiennes was excellent -Juror #2 It was a good movie but expected better for "Clint Eastwood's final movie", Nicholas Hoult should've been in the conversation for Best Actor imo 1
Tusk Posted December 14 Posted December 14 Just saw "Queer" yesterday and it's one of the worst movies of the year. What a disjoined mess of two people who exhibit no signs of a connection whatsoever. The dinner scene with the kebab having meat to no meat to meat is just awful editing.
STMG23 Posted December 14 Posted December 14 Saw Emilia Perez today and enjoyed it a lot. Great unique movie and Great performances all around. Zaldana is a lead though. 1
hausofdave Posted December 15 Posted December 15 I think Winslet is pretty clearly the spoiler for SAG. They love "basic" biopics there. Biopics that made GG but missed SAG: Priscilla, Spencer, United States vs Billie Holiday, A Private War, Molly's Game, Loving, Battle of the Sexes, Lady in the Van, Joy, Big Eyes Biopics that made SAG after missing GG: Woman in Gold, Till, Respect Biopics that made SAG+GG but missed Oscars: Saving Mr Banks, Hitchcock, Victoria & Abdul, House of Gucci
