Having been reminded of the abomination that is Ridiculous 6 I'm sure that's gonna take the Moral High Horse, but I'd like to at least submit some competition for consideration in Concussion, a movie which not only has a 'love interest' so nonexistent in character that I literally did not know her name until it appeared on an ultrasound machine two-thirds of the way through the movie, but also features a scene where she basically says she's okay with being raped when she first arrived in the US because it must have been part of God's plan, and this is used to make Will Smith feel better about continuing with his work because obviously that's all part of God's plan too.

Also Crimson Peak for best Art Design is legit.

Edit: Also also The Revenant for Best Meal for the Pawnee man sharing the raw buffalo with Glass.

:confused: Carol's pretty danged good. It's primarily a Cate vehicle and she slays it.

Furthermore it's one you don't have to feel scuzzy liking, because the director probably didn't molest his children!

Fury Road got 5 votes from me, followed by The Revenant with 4 and then a few things with 2 or 3. Also, because it seems like no one has laid claim to it, I'd be willing to present for Best Ensemble, and also Moral High Horse if we're allowed more than one.

I nominated Room for a ton of awards and y'all failed me.

Room failed me by not being available to see anywhere until I'd already nominated things.

An Ensemble Award, in a lot of ways, can feel like a consolation prize. "Congratulations," it seems to say. "None of you were good enough for a real award, but here's something to say you all tried really hard together."

Of course, that's not always the case. Sometimes, a film has such a murderer's row of talent that, even if one or two rise above, it feels wrong not to acknowledge the work put in by the rest of the cast that makes the film what it is. Such is the case with this year's winner, The Hateful Eight.



It's a movie that so necessitates an across-the-board set of quality performances that even the advertising highlighted it, and by god they pulled it off. Hateful Eight is loving stacked.

There was another ensemble western this year, though, and it's a CineByte winner too. Surprising absolutely no one, the Moral High Horse goes to Adam Sandler's latest crime against good taste and good filmmaking, The Ridiculous Six, a film so offensive it drove a dozen Native American performers to walk off the set in response to both its content and their treatment.



Because I have better things to do with my life, I haven't watched it, so I don't have much else to say. gently caress you, Ridiculous Six, and gently caress you for trying to shove it down my throat, Netflix.

Congratulations to (one of) the winners!

I just saw Room and retroactively feel bad for not nominating/voting for Brie Larson, so point to you, people who mentioned that.
