I always knew there had to be someone, somewhere, that skips through the musical segments of Fantasia 2000 and watches the celebrity skits. I just didn't know they were running the Oscars.

Oscars would be best (not necessarily good though) if they just ignored the fact that it was broadcast and played it straight as a insular award show. Go for sincere instead of throwing in stupid bits

Vegetable posted:To be honest if people already complain the Oscar’s are way too long, they don’t really get to whine about a few awards — the ones they really didn’t care about — getting cut. Score is particularly stupid though because it's something people can recognize about a movie. Anyway, important question, is Meatloaf gonna be done dirty by the In Memoriam?

Timeless Appeal posted:The Oscars are for old people who are going to watch regardless and for film nerds who like seeing the shorts. You could cut down the Oscars till like an hour and nobody's gonna give a poo poo and start watching who hasn't already. I could understand maybe making some Oscars awarded at the Governor's Awards like the shorts but don't replace them with dumb comedy skits. As for Meatloaf, between Rocky Horror and Fight Club he has enough film cred to be included. He should be lopped off due to his death by irony via Covid but given how the Academy thinks it's OK to be antivax, why bother?

Disappointed there’s no Green Knight or Pig. Cage should have gotten an actor nod. This being said Dune vs Macbeth for cinematography and such is tough. Both looked great. Then again they grow more irrelevant and I’m not sure I care to watch

The shame is that the Acting Noms are actually pretty good besides the atrocious I Love Lucy movie getting noms that Cage and Haim deserved.

Yeah Power of the Dog was great, easily the best performance I’ve seen from Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst is incredible in it, as is Kodi Smit-Mcphee. And the Jonny Greenwood score is really good, I’m sure it’ll lose to Dune though, even though I like it a lot more.

When I first saw Power Pup on theaters I didn't think much of it but when I saw it on Netflix with my parents I could appreciate Cumberbatch's performance much better. It's a much more complicated role than it seems on first blush, but really one complex character a great movie does not make. I wouldn't object to it winning, but it's far from my favorite movie of the year.

Strong Mutt is good and will likely win comfortably to the surprise of nobody and the anger of very few. I am a little baffled by the Plemons nod, however (and I'd probably take a couple of people over Smit-McPhee for the award itself).

Stuff regarding the dropped categories: https://twitter.com/THR/status/1499731526577274882 quote:Another governor of a branch that has lost a category from the live telecast, who wishes to remain nameless, says he was jarred when, over the summer, he received a call from Hudson explaining why significant changes to the format of the Oscars were necessary. This governor says that he was told that ABC had warned the Academy that it would cancel the Oscars telecast, via a clause in the Academy and ABC’s deal for the Oscars’ broadcasting rights, if 12 categories were not removed from the show. “We were told we’d have to sacrifice something or we were going to lose the whole show,” this governor recaps. Extremely wild, what the hell is that contract even. I wish they kept all the categories in and dared ABC to pull the plug.

lmao what the hell Avaquote:Ava DuVernay, a governor of the directors branch, responded, “Respectfully, and I had no part in the decision, but the word ‘excluded’ is a powerful one for many. It has a particular and heightened meaning to many. And as the music branch winners and nominees and speeches will be fully included in the broadcast, I think it’s important to call things by their right name so as not to minimize the meaning of true exclusion in these spaces.”

I agree, all those people who compared kicking out the Best Editing Oscar from the live broadcast to the Chinese Exclusion Act were really insensitive.

Venus and Serena also got smoked by a guy who was slightly under the top 200 in men's tennis. Make no mistake, they would annihilate any guy who's an amateur but not a professional.

Hmm don’t think I agree with him. Lots of good best picture films, with Drive My Car confronting grief in a stronger way than Nomadland. And Martin Scorsese certainly does not agree with this view on Power of the Dog. But I have to see Coda still.

I wasn't really clear on what we were supposed to take away from Power of the Dog. Cumberbatch was a complete rear end in a top hat to everyone he met except his brother, who hated him, but then we find out that he has a vaguely sad backstory. And then he's murdered by someone who comes off as a psycho. That's sad? Good?

And then he's murdered by someone who comes off as a psycho. That's sad? Good? I think Campion would say that it just sort of is. Phil cultivates a toxic veneer to repress his homosexuality. Peter is less of a character, which I guess could be seen as one of the bigger criticisms of the movie, and more the manifestation of something more true and primal than Phil can manage with all of his artifice and bluster. Phil is afraid that if he lets down his masculine façade he will be punished, an idea which the movie seems to agree with because he immediately is. Peter cares deeply about his mother he just doesn't really seem to care about anything else. He is in a way reminiscent to me of David in A.I. But this view comes from my inability to read Peter as a traditional character in a film. He makes much more sense to me as a metaphorical force that seeks to correct the imbalance in his household and disabuse Phil of his understanding of masculinity's virtues for self protection.

CODA is really fun and deserves Best Supporting Actor, but honestly it's a pretty basic indie drama. Like 2020's The Half of It is a movie with a very similar tone, plot, and I think is equal quality. I'm fine with it being nominated for sure, but realistically it should be Power of the Dog vs West Side Story. As for deeper meaning in Power of the Dog, Phil is a gay intellectual who has been desperately running away from this identity to accept a myth of a rugged and toxic cowboy. Peter is the representation of everything he is trying to not be: intellectual, openly feminine. The toxic cowboy myth is destroyed by this new sort of man and everyone is happier for it. I think McNutty is wrong with the idea that Phil is undone by dropping his cowboy facade. It's the facade and the misogyny that goes with it which is what leads to his murder. EDIT: To be clear, it's a loving travesty that Zegler or Haim didn't get nominated over Kidman and frankly Stewart. She should have been invited because she was robbed or at least deserved to be snubbed by better performances. Timeless Appeal fucked around with this message at 16:03 on Mar 24, 2022 |
