I have officially given up trying to find some bootleg stream or whatever. Closest I got was some Australian channel called 7plus with a VPN, but it just tantalizing shows a "play" button which does nothing when clicked. You people in this thread are now my sole source of Oscar updates.

What was with the Latasha Harlins shoutout for a doc about the french resistance? Didn't want to be too mainstream in a cynical attempt at zeitgeist chasing and shout out George Floyd?

The better comparison is Icarus which the backhalf of is actually a pretty good documentary, but the first half is some rich rear end in a top hat trying to prove he could be a professional bicyclist if he wanted to.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Tenet was a giant ball of nonsense, but it sure was cool-looking nonsense, so that's an okay Oscar to be the only thing it wins.

It felt like it was trying to be American Psycho or Hard Candy bit palatable to a wider audience ala Harley Quinn ethos by always pulling up at just the last moment to never feel like you're a bad person. It felt cowardly.

Seems like an extra bad time to reward the script for a movie that ends with the cops taking care of everything.
