Coaaab posted:Is that a consistent stance to take with the stink coming off of Casey Affleck right now? BTW, I haven't seen Hacksaw either but only because Lonergan is more of my kind of filmmaker than Gibson. If I were to separate art from artist I'd say the average Affleck performance is really good while the average Gibson direction is a polished turd. But people can approach either with their own level of skepticism.

Re the Hollywood reapproachment with Gibson, it in no way coincides with his recent signing with CAA, after breaking it off with his long-term manager. To suggest otherwise....would be pish posh!

Is it just a British thing where the media gets some bizarre national pride whenever a national receives an acting nomination or does it happen elsewhere as well?

The Swiss media was ecstatic when they heard about the country scoring two nominations, so it's definitely not just a British thing. Europe as a whole seems to care a lot more about the Oscars than any other award show.

Its a total coincidence, it just so happens that no people of color were deserving of a nomination last year!

No one I know has cable, so what's a person to do? Let me sign up somewhere to pay to watch the stupid things online, and I'd probably pay a good $25 for the whole evening. You don't even have to take the ads out.

But it, alongside the third factor of virttually none of the nominees being financially successful or even widely seen, all added up to an image of the oscars being badly out of touch, which they obviously are.

But you really couldn't justify omitting Louis-Dreyfus from a slate of the year's best TV comedy actresses. Plus she's not nearly as old as Streep and not nearly as recognized. And Veep will go away, eventually.

It does kind of feel like it's gotten to the stage where Meryl Streep could just walk onto screen, fart and then walk straight off again and never appear for the rest of the film and still get at least a best supporting actress nom

Moonlight blew me away, thought it was the best movie of those nominated. But La La Land with 14 noms looks to have this on lockdown. The bittersweet lollipop movie that everyone needed after 2016, I guess.

If I recall correctly, Netflix bought the film after it was screened and then tried to have it run in theaters briefly and was essentially boycotted by the theater chains because it was going to debut simultaneously on Netflix. Either this made it ineligible or the Academy snubbed it to discourage this.

I'm wondering if the Academy is going to step up and give foreign language to Asghar Farhadi because a gigantic rear end in a top hat is preventing him from being at the ceremony. I can't speak to the quality of the films because I haven't seen any of the nominees in that category, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Academy gave the POTUS a gigantic middle finger. This might be your lesson on how to win an Oscar. Make a film and be horribly persecuted right after!

I admit, I'm "that guy" who recognizes most classical pieces (it was Dvorak's String Serenade mvmt 4); but even if stupid audience members thought it was original scoring, you'd think the Academy would've realized it was likely used with permission. Probably this piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVN1B-tUpgs Not an "original" song, but tremendously good either way.

I legitimately think La La Land is the best picture of 2016. Moonlight comes very very close but I don't think it losing would be a travesty. I will say that the Arrival had a very bland, austere look (Amy Adams is pale but she's not THAT pale) and its cinematography and art direction nods shoulda gone to The Love Witch.

This year's black contenders are better and white films were on the whole weaker. Samuel L. Jackson in Hateful Eight, Benicio Del Toro in Sicario, Chi-Raq, The Assassin, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Girlhood, Tangerine This is just a quick run through of some of the most acclaimed films of the year, including a couple that were nominated. I'll give you that it's a problem when minority filmmakers and actors need more presence and access to funding, but it's not like those films were non-existent, it's just that the Academy ignored them in favor of dreck like Brooklyn.
