The First Cow snubs bode poorly for the Snyder Cut's chances at next year's Academy Awards.Timeless Appeal posted:Oscar Nominations are out! I agree, I was very impressed at how King handled a stage adaptation. I'm quite pleased to see Kemp Powers nominated for Screenplay, though. That was the main thing I was checking for.

I was surprised at how much respect I lost for Fincher after seeing Mank, and every bit of press I've seen from him since then has caused me to lose more. Like, lmfao: https://twitter.com/CoreyAtad/status/1377236751043993602?s=19 "Simply impossible to do perspective in 4:3" I say as I make a movie about the production of Citizen Kane.

sponges posted:Fincher is one of my favorite directors but Mank was a miss for me. Right, it's not like having an "authentic" 4:3 aspect ratio would have made Mank good. The core problem with the movie is that they never figure out a good reason to make a movie about the screenwriter of Citizen Kane, so when Fincher and Messerschmidt betray their disinterest in and contempt for how movies like Citizen Kane were made it gets right to the heart of the issue.

That's funny, Sound of Metal and The Father are what I consider to be the best of the nominees. Sound of Metal is like Gus van Sant's Oscar bait (especially Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot) in that it's down to earth and intimately familiar with recovery from trauma and addiction. The Father is just experimental and unsettling enough to distinguish itself from other movies about dementia, and it's brave enough to not have any wholly sympathetic characters, which is right for the subject. I haven't seen Promising Young Woman but from what I've read I'm not missing anything. All around, it's a fairly middling slate. There aren't many outright bad movies like there were in 2019 and 2020 (of what I've seen there's only The Trial of the Chicago Seven that stands out), but nothing really extraordinary either. Mank, Judas and the Black Messiah, and Nomadland are all just mediocre. Minari's good, I wouldn't mind if it won.

IMO Ahmed deserves it over Boseman, but it's not like Boseman did a bad job. It's funny, I thought he was much better in Da Five Bloods. On the whole D5B really got screwed by its release date, it's way better than any of the other best picture nominees and Delroy Lindo was absolutely snubbed.

The makeup, hair, and costumes literally are the movie in Ma Rainey, absolutely deserved win. Would have been funny if Hillbilly Elegy won, though.

Terrible Cinematography nominees this year. Minari, The Father, Sound of Metal, and Another Round would have been a much more appropriate slate.

It's a fake movie about fakes. A deeply politically engaged book adapted into inoffensive pap.

Hopkins did give a better performance than Boseman, though Ahmed was my pick.

Underrated problem with putting Best Actor last is that it's no longer in equilibrium with Best Actress. Also, the Best Actor/Actress speeches are supposed to be the big ones, but by the end of the show nobody's interested in a big speech. Naturally, if Boseman had won there wouldn't be a speech at all, and I guess the producers were lucky that the guy they barred from giving a speech over Zoom ended up winning the award.
