muscles like this! posted:Really loving bizarre that they show so much love for Arrival but nothing for Amy Adams. Wish they shook things up a bit more, but this is about right for a traditionalist Academy. More black people than you'd expect from the Oscars, but white people were pretty poo poo this year.

Slavvy posted:Saw this thread, saw the nominee list, have a question: why is hell or high water so critically acclaimed? All I saw was a boring, formulaic heist type movie where nothing much interesting happened populated by uninteresting characters and also jeff bridges. The weakest films this year are probably Lion and Hacksaw Ridge. Haven't seen Hidden Figures or Fences, but they might be the weaker films of the pack too. This year, I would have liked the inclusion of Indignation. Haven't seen Jackie, Certain Women, Loving or Paterson, but those might all have warranted a nod. If there ever was a year, this should have been the one for including a different sort of film. The Handmaiden is heads and shoulders above most of the nominees. Funniest movie of the year Hunt for the Wilderpeople got shamefully overlooked even at the Globes (at least the HFPA had the guts to nominate Sing Street there). Toni Erdmann was an absolute favorite of the critics (still need to see it).

Timby posted:People say the same thing about Julia Louis-Dreyfus and that she should withdraw her name from future Emmy consideration, and I just don't get it. 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.

Basebf555 posted:The whole thing is so transparent. Wow, just one year after the Oscars was roundly criticized for being 100% white, all of the sudden we're setting records for black nominees. Its a total coincidence, it just so happens that no people of color were deserving of a nomination last year!

A film that humanizes Nazis would get so much left-wing flak this day and age.

That was a good Oscar year. I’d have been happy with Gravity, Her, or The Wolf of Wall Street winning. 12 Years a Slave at the very least is equal to all of them, to the extent that four very very different films can be compared.

Silver Linings Playbook lol! Spotlight bad! 12 Years A Slave dull! Maybe if we all assert our opinions as facts CD will be great again.

Wish Jackie got more love. It's a genuinely different, hypnotic biopic. So gorgeous and well scored. The Oscars don't reward non-convention, of course, but it generally hasn't gotten much love across the awards circuit.

a film that enriched white people by depicting white men mansplaining black culture to white women gets embarrassed by old white america but graciously hands the baton to gay black america which feels shafted by all this poo poo and nobody is happy

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are why sexual assault person Casey Affleck has an Oscar today. They basically pulled all the stops to minimize media coverage of his misdeeds. Pretty hosed up
