Re: Minor Critics Groups Winners
I've met or am acquaintances with two of the members, yes, and am familiar with one other. The rest? Never met or heard of them before in my life. Interestingly enough, the individual who set up this still fledgling organization just announced he's stepping down from administrative duties: https://m...

Re: BAFTA Nominations
BAFTA couldn't have more pinpointedly kneecapped Oppenheimer's two biggest threats if they'd made a conscious effort. (American Fiction as well, but the longlists already tipped off that inevitability.)

Re: SAG Nominations
Then I think the biggest headline here is that May December's acting hopes aren't just dead, they're uber-dead.Mister Tee wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 2:06 pm Things about SAG to keep in mind when evaluating their nominees:
1) They have a substantial Netflix bias. The channel is almost always over-represented in nominations.

Re: Let's Talk Best Supporting Actress
Dafoe has twice, in the last 5 or so years, been nominated for films that got no other nominations. Now, in neither of those years could it be said the competition was fierce (on check, the biggest "snubs" for either of them were probably Ethan Hawke in First Reformed and Michael Stuhlbarg...

Re: R.I.P. Ryuichi Sakamoto
Obviously he came to my attention with Femme Fatale , but I really sat up and took notice with the use of his “Bobo No Aozora” at the end of Babel , which led to Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence , and then so on and so forth. But then I went down the rabbit hole of his synth pop career (his LP Thousand...

Re: 95th Oscars General Ceremony Discussion
how often have actors won for performances judged to be their finest? I think that's often been the case with mediocre actors who hit the high note once -- Ray Milland, Broderick Crawford, Nicolas Cage -- but I wonder if it's the exception and not the rule with actors whose careers have had more st...

Re: TAR reviews
Any movie that makes Jeffrey Wells understand that he is, in fact, dumb is by definition not bad. That it also makes him seemingly un-ironically say that he felt "triggered"? As a very-much-dead-at-that-point Meryl said in Death Becomes Her , "These are the moments that make life wort...
