Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

I don’t think anyone born since the early 90s will ever understand what an insane time that was. I was working in the school library, and the supervisor brought out a radio to the circulation desk before the verdict was announced so all the students could gather around to listen.

Some are you aren't old enough to have watched SCTV in its heyday, and only know the cast members (Martin Short, John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy etc.) who went on to more prominent careers. That would be just about every cast member except for him. There was also Andrea Martin and Rick Mo...

Ruffalo's character may be repulsive, but his acting, despite being over-the-top, is a pleasure to watch. Not for me. Christopher Abbott's character was also repulsive and his was a much better performance. His appearance towards the end were some of the best scenes in the film. Ruffalo was just un...

Managed to catch Poor Things. I haven't written many reviews so here's a few summary comments for each movie. ETA: Added American Fiction. 1. Anatomy of a Fall "A 'Law and Order' episode stretched out to movie length," some have griped. Well, find me the L&O episode with a character st...
