Yea Kaluuya's performance was very by the numbers. Lakeith should've won it, he got all the scumbag mannerisms down and the sheepish nature of O'Neal.

What was with the Latasha Harlins shoutout for a doc about the french resistance? Didn't want to be too mainstream in a cynical attempt at zeitgeist chasing and shout out George Floyd?

Or the 80s and having Cats be the defining cultural moment

It’s a good movie, even if it’s cancelled for not saying “Amazon bad” loud enough or whatever.

It's a movie that's infatuated with its own importance.

Nomadland was interesting but also bland and forgettable, like it almost had a point to make beyond "it sucks being poor" but forgot to make it. I guess it won because it reminded us of how sad we are during the pandemic or something?

It felt like rich UCLA film school Hollywood liberals trying to depict a culture they don't understand.

Who the hell would be angry about that? Like I'm also kinda bummed Chadwick didn't win, but it's not the first time we don't have the clear favorite not win an oscar. It's not like anyone was gonna throw tomatoes to Anthony Hopkins or anything

e: I mean angry in the dolby theater

I think people get upset when the academy prioritizes recognizing actual artistic achievement instead of just chasing trends.

Minari is still the last film I have yet to see. I think I might wait until the blu ray comes out.

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

Trends, sure, but its also precedented. It made sense. Boseman was poised, even with so many heavy hitters this year. Ill accept the Hopkins win though.

Im still miffed about Viola though. Where's her drat coca-cola?

Yes she was definitely better than McDermott. I can dramatically look at nature too!!

They were so confident in Chadwick winning that they literally rearranged the categories to have this big emotional catharsis close the show. Instead it goes to a guy who already won, didn't even bother showing up, and they awkwardly cut to the credits. What an incredible self-own.

Getting flashbacks to Hillary's fireworks show in 2016.

I was watching Midnight Cowboy again a few weeks ago and it reminded me of Nomadland in the sense it was a film about extreme poverty in America directed by a foreigner, and it just made Nomadland feel even more colder and detached than it did before. I don't really know how to articulate it yet, but where Midnight Cowboy's eye for America feels a lot more risky and lively, Nomadland feels sterile and cold, like a culmination of dozens of academic journal articles on directing. Schlesinger feels like an excited new voice going to bold places while Zhao feels like another upper class film student doing a film on marginalized people for good liberal points. I'm not sure this makes sense but it's what I could think of off the top of my head.
