I’m afraid we are heading to a very dull Oscar ceremony.

Re: SAG Thoughts/Winners to be Added
Mister Tee wrote For best actor and supporting actor, it's 2002. In 2003, Bill Murray won the BAFTA but Jonny Depp won the SAG. And Sean Penn won the Golden Globe (and the Critics Choice). Which means Penn pulled in Giamatti’s tally (also the previous nominations guy) while Depp and Murray were… we...

Re: SAG Thoughts/Winners to be Added
What did we learn? Assuming Oppenheimer wins the PGA tonight, it will be one of two films since 2010 to win the BAFTA, DGA, PGA, and SAG, the other being The King's Speech and Argo. I'm trying to think of the last time I was so sure early on in the year what the Best Picture winner was going to be a...

Re: The Zone of Interest reviews
flipp525 wrote Has literally no one seen this besides me and Tee? Strange how little discussion there is about what I find one of the best films of the year. I pointed out below that it should be a strong contender for Best Sound (which I stated pre-BAFTA win). I will be predicting it at the Oscars...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Cinematography
Mister Tee wrote But what if ASC follows its British cousins and goes for Poor Things? It's not as if the film isn't stunningly photographed -- I'd put the lighting of the skies in Lisbon up against any image in Oppenheimer. Would we simply say, ASC being weird, and stick to our Oppenheimer guns? A...

Re: Killers of the Flower Moon reviews
Rewatched Killers of the Flower Moon. I think it's an easier movie to admire than to love but there's lots to admire. It's full of exciting filmmaking and it's an engrossing (if still a bit unclear) world. But in talking what's so great about it, I can't help but feel it's like describing a beautifu...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Makeup and Hairstyling
This is probably the only Oscar race I can think of where I was both 100% confident in at least a mini-sweep by one film but every other category was a coin flip. Oppenheimer seems destined to walk away with at least six Oscars: Best Picture, Director, Supporting Actor, Original Score, Cinematograph...

Re: BAFTA WINNERS
Over on the DGA Winner thread, we have a conversation about the number of competitive races. At this point, the only categories I would consider open and shut are all Oppenheimer (Best Picture, Director, Supporting Actor, Original Score, Cinematography, Film Editing) plus Da'Vine Joy Randolph and I ...

Re: Best Picture Ballot
I'm holding off on presenting my rankings but at this point I think Poor Things is the average favorite film of the nominees of the board despite being nobody's favorite. Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, and Past Lives split both top of the middle of the rank.

Re: Aleksei Navalny Dies in Siberian Gulag

They thought he would be the Russian George Washington, but instead turned out to be the Russian Martin Luther King. It's ...

Re: New Developments III
Last week went about as poorly for Biden as a week could go. His cleanest line to knocking Trump off the ballot dissipated, the Hur report dropped, and Biden's immediate response (while not IMO pointing to senility) did nothing to help him. And the return of Jon Stewart didn't spare Biden an inch sa...

Re: Aleksei Navalny Dies in Siberian Gulag
Someone should say something... I remember when Jeffrey Epstein died in prison, there were a handful of people "Let's not rush to judgement"-ed it. It was as fishy a death as any I've seen until this week. Is there anybody who read the news and didn't immediately jump to logical conclusion...
