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

Most interesting part of that is how his idea of what directors do is basically just what producers do. Amazing to watch the camerawork in West Side Story and declare Spielberg didn't do anything, or choose Branauhg because he made his film "economical" What a joke

Now the Williams sisters get to slap Campion during her speech too right?

Zelensky calls in and suddenly Will Smith gets up and everyone starts going "Will no!" but he walks into the tv screen and boom slaps our ukranian boyfriend right across the snout

Amazed at the racial discourse around this specifically as if black men are going around giving open hand slaps all the time and effete white nobility (which these two are pretty close to being the modern equivalent of) over centuries didn't turn the slap into the standard punishment for disrespect. Last time a slap was this culturally revelant it was on an episode of How I Met Your Mother

Cant wait for "What film won best picture at the oscars where Will smith slapped Chris Rock?" to be a legitimate and frankly difficult question at bar trivia

THe subtext of the joke andy dick made about phil hartman ("I made his wife kill him and I'll do it to your wife too") is inarguably far worse than the one chris rock made ("lol you have a no hair disease")

Coda is cross genre when it comes to oscar bait. It's quirky indie family-learns-to-understand-each-other bait mixed with people-with-disabilities-are-inspiring bait.

I'm pretty sure Smith was leaned on to resign. The academy is in a tough spot since he just won one of their top awards so this way he makes a pr statement acknowledging his transgression, "voluntarily" disinvites himself from future events until some point when bygones will be bygones, and both he and the academy come out of this looking good (for will, he's contrite; for the academy, they're magnanimous)

There's lots of different kinds of oscar bait. Historical figure bait, hollywood self-masturbation bait, inspiring story of disability or recovery bait, quirky indie family story bait, fighting oppression bait. The game played by oscars forecasters is figuring out which of those the academy is likely to feel like rewarding this year. Most bait-y oscar winners (excluding Coda) lately are probably Green Book (historical figure, oppression, "family" story) and the King's Speech (historical figure, disability).

Take them off air so they can just be an insider-y awards show for hollywood bigwigs without all the added necessity of being a spectacle for people at home.

Coda's biggest star, as long as the universe isnt terribly fictionalized, is VY Canis Majoris, 14000 times the size of the sun

live with fruit posted:There has to be a hidden hand that makes these decisions, right? Someone somewhere decides that CODA or Nomadland are going to be "the" indie movies of their years and put some weight behind them. Yes and his name is Sundance Filmfestival

live with fruit posted:How does it happen that a movie like CODA rises to the top but a movie like Pig doesn't? Is it random or is someone putting their finger on the scale? Coda had sundance buzz of levels previously unseen and was bought there for a record amount. Pig had a pretty normal unremarkable release.
