I only care about Beal Street winning score and Cold War winning cinematography. All the other awards can blow it out their rear end.

that's loving insane. why wouldn't you just relegate all the shorts categories to the breaks? obviously every award should be aired but that would mean the oscars aren't garbage

Lol cinematography is literally the one award where they have an excuse to just play it extended decontextualized gorgeous shots, the kind of thing people might associate with a motion picture, but nah let’s do sound editing or some poo poo that nobody will be able to discern over their lovely TV speakers

Maybe it sounds dumb, I know the Oscars have done and supported plenty of extremely questionable poo poo in the past, but for some reason this is the last straw for me I think. The idea of not recognizing cinematography(and editing) at what's supposed to be the most important awards for film is just a laughable disgrace. It's a killshot to any bit of credibility they had left, and I know for a lot of people they already had none.

My theory is the four categories they aren't showing are the ones that Disney/ABC doesn't have movies in. The other categories which you'd think they would cut out (animated short/visual effects/production/costume design/either sound) have Disney/ABC nominations and they can't cut Foreign Language film or Documentary.

We barely missed the addition of a "Popular Movie" category this year when there was an internal pushback against doing it. Meanwhile the collective Academy cannot think of 10 movies a year to nominate for Best Picture, and three of those they did pick are bad to very bad.

Is it really surprising how most people don't give a poo poo about the Oscars anymore given how they're still nominating garbage like SOLO for best visual effects? That film's lighting issues are almost as bad as AVP:R's. Let the Oscars end up forgettable like the Saturn Awards. It's for the better.

His vocal affectations in that movie are awful. Nobody seems interested in being there, and I seriously don't blame them. Considering all the great names attached to the thing there's not a single good performance, including Adams who's normally untouchable. And yet it still manages to be a manipulative, pandering, condescending, exploitative piece of dismal poo poo.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:His vocal affectations in that movie are awful. It's mostly condescending with a lot of SNL-tier performances. I 100% don't buy "Bale disappeared into Cheney!" Cheney doesn't actually sound or look like that, at all. Bale nominally looks like someone other than Christian Bale, from a distance. As far as the writing, you almost feel the writing thinking about what could have been if only Cheney was on "our" side. Like it depicts him as a slavish soldier for his cause and the only problem is his dedication to cartoonishly unholy principles. It's not a character study that attempts for us to understand Cheney, because the film itself admits that it doesn't understand or know Cheney. It's just an assassination, common to any of 10,000 stories on left-wing news sites, except uncommon because it's not particularly convincing.

I mean, in some sort of disjointed Great Man of History way it gives him full blame for the Iraq War, formation of ISIS (lol), etc, without going into the complexities of those events and pardons just about every other warhawk who endorsed the slaughter. THEN, after it's narrowed the blame to one person rather than a systemic culture of imperialist violence and resource extraction it gives him the last loving word... ...in which he basically looks at us and says "I did what I had to do in order to protect your freedom". Don't even get me started on the post credit scene. gently caress that noise.

I don't like Vice but I don't think it's even the worst film nominated this year. That's Bohemian Rhapsody by leaps and bounds.

Just watched A Star is Born for the first time (available on rental for 99 cents) and I legitimately do not get the ending For some reason, the audience expects Lady Gaga to put on a show for them and sing within like 48 hours of her husband committing suicide? That would be national news and everyone would be very sympathetic towards her and would completely understand her cancelling a few tour dates in the immediate aftermath of HER HUSBAND COMMITTING SUICIDE. And instead its like "No, the show must go on!" and she performs a concert in the immediate aftermath of her loving spouse killing himself. What the everloving gently caress.

Question, and not one really intended as commentary so much as general film trivia: if Black Panther were to win best picture, would it be the only winner to feature an after-credit stinger? I was talking to a friend about this and we couldn’t think of any past winners that had that gimmick.
