He probably meant Ernest Borgnine.

If CODA wins Best Picture it will be one more step by the Academy towards irrelevancy.

TURNING RED Cast: Rosalie Chang, Sandra Oh, Orion Lee, Ava Morse, Hyein Park, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Wai Ching Ho, Tristan Allerick Chen, James Hong (voices). Dir: Domee Shi.

I guess this is the trivia thread. Buckley and Colman are the third duo to be nominated for playing the sane character on the same year, following Dench/Blanchet in '98 and Dench/Winslet in '01. And just like the previous two times it happened, Judi Dench is on the nominees list. You forgot Kate Wi...

Black Panther.

That'd hardly be impossible. Glenn Close did it just last year.

Haddish, Henson and Ice Cube are on the list because they are friends of the producer who wanted to use his friend Kevin Hart last time.

Ice Cube might be friends with God himself but the Academy will never put an anti-vaxxer as host.

I agree with Trevor Noah. Yes, Israel has the right to defend itself. Absolutely. Just like I have the right to defend myself against a little kid with a plastic baseball bat. I could just walk away, talk him down or defend myself by taking away his baseball bat. What I don't do is beat the shit ou...

McDormand is a good actress and her performance in Nomadland is a good one, but so were the others in her category. Had she lost the 1996 Oscar to Emily Watson or Brenda Blethyn or Debbie Reynolds or anybody else there would be no controversy in her winning again so soon after her last one for Thre...

I said from the beginning that there shouldn't have been an Oscar ceremony this year. They were literally challenging their fate.

I'd love to see our ignorant news reporters and TV personalities heads explode after all these days where they assured us that a "Mank" win was inevitable because "the film with the most nominations always wins".

OscarGuy wrote:Spared Viola Davis, but three Oscars for Frances McDormand is rather sad.

Why? It's not McDormand's problem if she was the best the years she won (and that's from someone who would have probably voted for Watson in 1996).

I guess it wasn't a coincidence after all that all these anonymous voters were acknowledging Boseman but at the end of the day were voting for Hopkins. In a related note, Marvel's decision not to recast Black Panther looks even worse now. Chadwick was a great actor but not a god. No actor is bigger ...
