Re: Anonymous Oscar Ballots

Comparing me to Sam Elliot in this instance is so non-sensical, I’m not even going any further with you down this path. That’s ridiculous and seemed to be for effect only. That’s nice that you learned ASL. Good for you. Saying you want CODA to win (in part) because it will be upsetting to so many o...

Re: Anonymous Oscar Ballots

Quite frankly, I can’t wait for CODA to win Best Picture just so I can watch your collective heads explode. There have been some really ignorant and honestly dumb comments about the Deaf community posted over several threads in the past month or so. Some of you should be embarrassed about your lack...

Re: Anonymous Oscar Ballots

And where did he get the idea that there will be clips from superhero movies during the ceremony? When was the last time clips from non-nominated films were shown? Unless of course he Is talking about the movie trailers shown during commercial breaks, which makes his comment even more idiotic. I as...

Re: PGA Nominations

I just had a thought and now I'm bothered by it. If CODA takes both Adapted Screenplay and Picture, it could be the first time in decades that the winner for Best Directing didn't bring in a single other award for their film. It happened 5 times in the first decade, but since then, it only happened...

Re: Anonymous Oscar Ballots

This could be either a man or a woman, but it seems to be a typical older female voter, possibly someone from the music branch. The sub-headline of the article clearly states their gender and branch "A member of the Academy's producers branch, granted anonymity to speak freely, shares which fi...

Re: PGA Nominations

I could have sworn it was Jack, but maybe I was confusing Jack and Ernie. I remember reading articles right after that fateful Oscar night where Jack told the press backstage that he voted for BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. My Googling did not reveal any surviving articles online from 2006 with that quote, bu...

Re: PGA Nominations

OscarGuy wrote C) Crash is not the least bit like CODA. CODA, for all its faults, isn't a film about prejudice specifically as far as I'm aware. Crash and Green Book were superficial explorations written and directed by white guys. I mean, CODA de-stigmatizes a deaf family for audiences. There is s...

Re: PGA Nominations

The problem with that argument is that it's not like it was a late release: As I said in my post, it premiered in Sundance over a year ago and has been streaming on AppleTV+ since August and the Academy streaming site, I'm assuming. That's more than enough time to see it. I find it hard to believe ...

Re: PGA Nominations

I am having serious flashbacks to the 2005 race. The critically acclaimed gay cowboy film which did really well with the precursors starts feeling the heat from the bigots. Suddenly, the philistines are looking for any film they can rally around to stop this art house hit from taking Best Picture. T...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Original Score

For anyone interested, this is a great analysis of the DUNE score from Hans himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93A1ryc-WW0 I enjoyed the score along with the rest of the movie, but hearing from him and his team made me really appreciate how integrated the soundtrack and sound design were. Much...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Original Score

I certainly wasn't positive that Gustavo Santaolalla would take it but the theme to Brokeback Mountain was so damn memorable that I just didn't think it could be counted out (this was certainly an instinct that proved me wrong the next year when I predicted Pan's Labyrinth, but at least the categor...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Original Score

Germain Franco is actually the first woman ever to score a Disney animated feature and the first Latina to ever get nominated for Original Score which could have boosted her chances if more people knew about these facts more widely. Perhaps the morons who think the score was written by Lin-Manuel M...

Big Magilla wrote:Jessica Chastain has said she will attend the pre-show awards to cheer on the Eyes of Tammy Faye makeup team. She rightfully feels that is more important than being seen and interviewed on the Red Carpet.
Just another reason to love Jessica Chastain.

Re: Critics Choice Awards Show and Winners

SPOILERS FOR POWER OF THE DOG HEREON Now, to address Rolo, I can guarantee you that Tee knows enough about anthrax to know its dangers. The film isn't even subtle about it either. It's even pointed out to Peter that they don't go near the dead cattle because of the dangers they pose. I think Tee's ...
