Glad to have been so wrong about them picking best picture, I figured old white Hollywood would never do that.

Same, I just had this belief that a lot of people who voted for it to win International would feel it easily deserved and would win that and something else can have best picture.

Also it has to be said a huge room full of super rich people cheering for Parasite to the degree where I wonder how a lot of them read it. Like, Jeff Bezos cannot loving clap that movie.

Untrustable posted:It is a fine movie. It's one of those things where if viewed in a bubble, ignoring it's weird rabid fanbase, is a perfectly serviceable film. A bit derivative, it aims high but misses by quite a margin. Worth it for Phoenix's performance. Who are these mythical Joker stans you speak of? I’ve never encountered one irl or online. I remember lots of handwringing prior to the movies release that it might become some sort of alt-right/incel cultural touchstone, but as far as I’ve seen or read, it came out and basically everyone fell somewhere between “that wasn’t very good” and “that was okay I guess”.

It's tradition (barring Suicide Squad) for any Joker movie to be a C+/B- film with a AAA+ performance by da Joker (baby) Joker 2019 won the correct awards.

The movie succinctly critiques the capitalist system, but also doesn’t really offer any alternative, which isn’t really the most subversive take in the world.

To better understand the movie I took BuzzFeed's "Which Parasite character are you?" Quiz. Turns out It doesn't matter, we're all worthless and ultimately deserve the deaths that will surely come.

gently caress yeah Taika. His acknowledgement of traditional land owners was great too As iffy as the content of Joaquin's acceptance speech was (he "we live in a society"'d us) I really appreciated that - like Bong Joon-ho's - it obviously came from a non-rehearsed place of passion, which is a truthfulness you don't often see on the Oscars stage. Also managed to convince my fiancee to watch Parasite based on this. She saw the trailer and wouldn't believe it wasn't a scary horror movie, until I said "horror movies don't win Oscars" and that seemed to placate her enough.

I feel like that hasn't happened in decades unless I'm forgetting something obvious. Best Picture has never been awarded to a foreign language film before tonight. Academy did a classification change for this years' categories and Parasite is blowing the doors off for the next decade re: the possibility of foreign films getting distribution in the states. Parasite win is an historically big deal. My Face When posted:Editing pick for me is 1917. 1917 taking the win for editing would make even less sense than Bohemian Rhapsody winning editing.

quoting myselfBeanpolePeckerwood posted:This year is a legendarily bad 'standardization' year for awards. The only recourse is to cheer for Parasite to win in all nominated categories.  BeanpolePeckerwood posted:My dumbperson take is that the Academy is in the process of conservative retrenchment after 6 straight years of multicultural 'drift' towards critically acclaimed smaller projects, and a ton of controversy about best practices and industry abuse. A lot of dirty laundry has been aired in the last 2 years, and stodgy industry types hate that kind of unpredictability. They are addressing multiple perceived threats to their traditional business models, between highly successful upstarts like A24 guiding the conversation of new talent, new technology companies like Netflix spending huge sums on loan, and gigantic reliable studio moneywells like Star Wars, Marvel, and DC currently being in flux or between phases. BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Of the stuff on offer in the noms Parasite is the only one that deserves to win BP this year. BeanpolePeckerwood posted:It's one hell of a film to speak to the moment. BeanpolePeckerwood posted:The difference here is that Parasite is a film very much 'of the moment' on this planet (as are mother!, First Reformed, Uncut Gems, etc) whereas back in 2000 Crouching Tiger, ... was more of an international audience fascination with exotic genre exercise. BeanpolePeckerwood posted:I know you're not that person, and I don't take you for having bad intentions, but saying Parasite is 'on the nose' is like saying Blazing Saddles is on the nose. When the dude in Parasite breaks the 4th-wall a half dozen times to say "this is so metaphorical" and everybody laughs...it's because they have a shared understanding of the humor that binds us together in this perverse age of capitalist exploitation. If you are the one who's saying 'that's too obvious' instead of laughing then it's actually you who are missing the point. There are elements of Parasite that might as well be a documentary film about living amid the insanity and dissonance of Korean culture right now (or even global culture, since the American President is a loving game show host). Parasite isn't even my favorite film this year, but saying it's too on-the-nose when everybody else actually gets it is basically just saying it demonstrates its point too effectively, which is precisely why it's better than every other film that got nominated this year. I'm prepared to eat crow wherever I was wrong...but I also feel vindicated, too. I'm still kind of speechless with the outcome tonight. There were a lot of things that got unjustly ignored this year, but in the end some of that fades into the background due to the overwhelming show of force that the motion picture academy put on display in trying to lure Bong Joon-Ho to the states. Something tells me this guy isn't going to stop making class-conscious films anytime soon, so the joke's on them. But they did still manage to keep Netflix on a short leash. Incredible to see Bong Joon-Ho's talent recognized in what is nothing less than an historical moment for international cinema that is LONG overdue. Let's have a toast to all the great international films over the decades that never got this chance.

I 100% called this poo poo. At about 8PM without even having seen any of these movies I said to my parents watching the Oscars “I think this is the year they give it to that Korean movie. It’s their chance to show they’re open minded about foreign films since Crouching Tiger got snubbed”

Whoever is in charge of putting in names for the in memoriam segment. I think Rene Auberjonois should have been up there for MASH at the very least, but it was really bad to leave out Luke Perry considering his last role was in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Nah, let's put in random hairstylists that it's obvious no one knows because the applause goes dead when their name pops up and now it's just real awkward for everyone.

Anyone happen to know the last time, if ever, a movie won best picture without having any nominations in the actor categories? I'm so happy that Parasite won so much but the lack of nominations in the actor categories is definitely a glaring omission, for reasons that are unfortunately really obvious.

I remember there was one year where some movie got nominations in basically every category EXCEPT Best Director, and one of the presenters was talking about what a marvelous achievement the film was and added as an aside,"And best of all, apparently it didn't even have a director!"
