Re: "Frauds" and "Snubs"

And no, I don't think Barbie's the best film of the year. I had my issues with it, but I really get tired of a bunch of white men whining about what women and minorities are offended over and griping that they are being too sensitive. This board, for all it's "liberal" sensitivities, sure ...

Re: "Frauds" and "Snubs"

Right. So the DGA just so happens to have had access to the same films but nominated two different people. Still not buying it. And Magilla, I've seen griping about the "outrage" at the snubs all over this board since the nominations were announced. I even posted about it on Facebook I was...

Re: "Frauds" and "Snubs"

I think you're entirely missing the point of my post and that is the pure definition of what the UAADB has become. There's a reason I don't participate much anymore.

Re: "Frauds" and "Snubs"

Robbie and Gerwig were most definitely snubs. First was because they were critical favorites who had amassed significantly more recognition prior to the nominations than one or more of the the individuals that were nominated beside them. Second because the writers may have nominated Gerwig, but the ...

They already lost one Civil War...are they really willing to lose another?

Re: Oscar Nominations Announced

I do love the board's selective outrage. Which is sarcasm in case you couldn't figure it out.

She's going to have to stop supporting anti-Semite Mel Gibson for a lot of people to get behind her.

Re: Good ole days

So now that I've looked at my predictions for 1996, it turns out I was higher on Evita than The Crucible. My last predictions that I could find for 1996 had Daniel Day-Lewis & Winona Ryder predicted and Adapted Screenplay, Cinematograph, Art Direction, and Costume Design but not Best Picture. Al...

Re: Good ole days

Based on all of my records, my site went live in 1996. And for 1995, I was pushing for Babe, not The Crucible. I didn't predict a single award for The Crucible, at least according to my records. 2.15.1996 - Launched The Oscar Guy on GeoCities 3.18.2002 - Launched the oscarguy.com domain 1.22.2010 - ...

Re: Nominations Announcement

You don't know Jack Quaid? He's Dennis Quaid & Meg Ryan's son... He's mostly done TV and voice work (lead on Star Trek: Lower Decks) and has a prominent role in The Boys. Zazie Beetz I sort of get. She was in Deadpool 2, Nine Days, Joker, and The Harder They Fall. I'm sure you've seen one of tho...

Re: BAFTA Nominations

Also, aren't the Brits still doing that unrepresentative small nominating committee thing? That was in the directing and acting categories, yes? or just the acting categories?

Re: BAFTA Nominations

Mad Max: Fury Road also did anemically with BAFTA. They are nothing if not "stodgy."

Re: BAFTA Nominations

The Zone of Interest overperformed. Is that because it's British? Barbie underperformed. Is that because it's distinctly American? I think Lily Gladstone may have been overinflated all season. I think the Brits probably saw her supporting performance and scoffed at it being in lead and that may be w...

Re: USC Scripter Nominations

Origin is def surprising. I've wondered for quite a while if All of Us Strangers was weaker than everyone seems to be giving it credit for; however, this only confirms that. If it does poorly at BAFTA tomorrow, then it's done. A strong showing at BAFTA alone, though, won't be enough to bolster its O...

Re: 2023 Emmy Awards

Angela Lansbury losing for all 12 nominations for Murder, She Wrote is still my choice. Not only that, but she should have won even for her guest appearance on Law & Order. Probably should have won for Sweeney Todd as well. Honestly, Hollywood just managed to ignore her (in terms of awards) for ...
