Mulligan v McDormand


This is what people are saying, but Viola Davis did win the SAG award, I don't know why she should be counted out entirely.

Hopkins did win the BAFTA for best actor, which might be the only award that Boseman hasn't won so far

Riz Ahmed beat out Boseman for actor at the independent spirits :eyesemoji:

Also, watched The Father a couple days back - very good movie, Hopkins and Colman do amazing work.

Is the level of activity due to the forums dying or lack of interest in the awards compared to previous years? Or is there another thread i'm missing?

I remember a lot more posting in other years.

I think a lot fewer people care about the oscars this year due to very few movies coming out

Really funny to have all the justice-y rhetoric and then give best doc to the movie about a white south african guy’s mid-life crisis

Good year for Asian representation. Was happy to see Zhao recognized before she goes into the Marvel machine even though I wasn't too hot over Nomadland

Really hope she manages to do the thing where she uses Marvel money to make other actually good movies, but not optimistic, don’t think I’ve seen anyone pull it off yet

Rumor has it that Chadwick's tribute would've had Fight Song as its musical accompaniment

This is really dumb trolling. Ma Rainey was a good movie and Boseman’s performance was really powerful. It wouldn’t have just been woke poo poo or whatever to give him best actor

I duuuuuuuno, I do wonder if they took into account the possibility on multiple levels. Nomadland beating out Minari after the Boseman snub might have been worse.

I don't think that's the case. No one was expecting Minari to win - Nomadland had won nearly every single other best picture award leading up to this - the bad feelings surround the actor award all came from the expectations of Boseman winning, and everyone expected Nomadland to walk away with Picture.

I agree with you, but I'm implying is that you'd have people in the audience feeling bummed in the crowd about Boseman winning and then the very white Nomadland winning out over the film that features a non-white family--which was sure to happen--would not help.

Obviously the racial politics is very complicated, but my perception has been that Nomadland has gotten "credit" due to Chloé Zhao being the first woman of color Best Director - and she gave the acceptance speech, so I have a hard time imagining folks being too bummed. Could definitely wrong, and it's all counterfactual anyways, but that's my take.

e: beaten but yeah, basically agreed ^^

Anyway, I think maybe the bad optics on the Best Actor thing are slightly overblown. I haven't heard too much unhappiness about it online elsewhere.

double post but it's true that I don't think many people are too upset, mostly just laughing at the producers for loving up and having such an anticlimactic close to the ceremony
