Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

I thought there was a thread for this, but can't seem to find one, so belated as it may be... Ten Best Films of 2019 1917 (Sam Mendes) Parasite (Bong Joon Ho) Once Upon a Time…in America (Quentin Tarantino) The Irishman (Martin Scorsese) Marriage Story (Noah Baumbach) Joker (Todd Phillips) Jojo Rabb...

Unless I'm mistaken, is this your first top five without a single Best Picture nominee? A Separation, Of Gods and Men, In a Better World, Poetry, and Drive. And Hugo and The Artist round out the very bottom of your top ten after Shame and Win Win. I say this with the confidence of someone who consi...

It was by me, having seen it at the U.S. Army base theatre in Darmstadt, Germany, but not by the Academy. Ford's last film was a box-office flop despite having been heavily publicized when Bancroft replaced Patricia Neal after her strokes. Its January 1966 release date might also have worked against...

Their last three nominations had me groaning as well, but I loved the Sherman Brothers' other five post- Mary Poppins nominations for the scores of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang , Bedknobs and Broomsticks , and Tom Sawyer , and the songs, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Age of Not Believing .

Magilla, are you on uppers or something? Did you not get from the reviews that The Substance is a horror movie? An apparently quite gross horror movie? Hasn't the experience of Hereditary and Us demonstrated that even horror movies critics rally behind just don't fly with Academy voters? Never say ...

Wow. Just when we were ready to give up on this festival, a 13-minute-standing ovation for a horror movie based on Dorian Gray with touches of The Shining and The Fly, followed by a terrific 34-minute press conference with Demi Moore, Coralie Fargeat, and Dennis Quaid available on YouTube. Should no...

Midterm performance was considered a win for the Democrats by most strategists because the Republicans didn't win as many seats as was expected, that and the fact that most if not all of the subsequent replacement races have been in their favor.
