Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

I think you're confusing anthology films with hyperlink films. Here's the difference as explained in Wikipedia: An anthology film (also known as an omnibus film, package film, or portmanteau film) is a single film consisting of several shorter films, each complete in itself and distinguished from th...

California Suite , for which Maggie Smith won her second Oscar, is one I forgot about, but you're right, there's no reason an anthology film can't win a Best Picture Oscar at some point just because it's never happened before. I have no doubt that Lanthimos and Emma Stone will have many more awards...

Some of these may get pushed to 2025. Kinds of Kindness could be one. Emma Stone under Lanthimos' direction two years in a row might feed into the narrative of they never do the same thing twice in a row. Besides which it's an anthology piece in which the three leads (Stone, Margaret Qualley, Jesse ...

Meanwhile Goergia judge just threw out the infamous phone call and five other charges in that case.

Trump is going to get away with everything outside of New York, isn't he?

Not sure it counts, but has any acting winner ever had as many former co-stars as Emma Stone had presenting the night they won? In addition to the obvious Ryan Gosling from Crazy, Stupid, Love and La La Land and Ramy Youssef from Poor Things , there were Michael Keaton from Birdman , Sally Field fro...

As I said in an edited portion below: this happened when Laurence Olivier gave out best picture to Amadeus for 1984; that night, it was clearly a screw-up by an addled old guy (and winner Saul Zaentz tried to cover for it by naming the other films in his acceptance speech). In this case, because Cy...

Hanover Street was written and directed by Razzie Award winner Peter Hyams. Blitz was written and directed by a master filmmaker.

Jefforey, I like your suggestion about the cutoff for contest entries being when the host starts his monologue but that can be just as tricky as getting the time right if you're not watching the posts live. However, even if the cutoff were an hour before the show begins, someone will always wait unt...

Good start. I don't know if Colman Domingo will win, but he seems to be almost certain to be nominated again for Sing Sing , which if it had been released in 2023 might have given him a better shot than Rustin did. We've already had winning female directors, but we've never had a winning Black direc...

Wes Anderson's explanation of his absence: “If I could have been there, I (along with [producer] Steven Rales) would have said ‘Thank You’ to: the family of Roald Dahl; the team at Netflix; Benedict [Cumberbatch] and Ralph [Fiennes] and Ben Kingsley and Dev [Patel] … and more [of the cast and crew],...

There's a lot of information out there about adjusting for inflation, but has anyone done a study on adjusting for percentage of population? That would be tricky for movies such as Gone With The Wind which have had multiple re-releases over the years. They should just count box office attendance as...

Let the discussion begin.

I thought I said it here, but it may have been in another thread or someplace else, but I think they deliberately chose Gambon and Turner to confound people like us. Gambon was a fine character actor, but did he rate being the first person shown after Navalny? No. Tina Turner, who should have been i...
