Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

Also, poor Charlbi Dean who died earlier this year. I forgot to mention her. She was really great and it’s sad that this is the only time we’ll get to see her on the big screen. I’m surprised Dolly de Leon isn’t popping up in more supporting prediction lists. The role alone seems like it would prop...

(SPOILERish…) * * * * * * * * * TRIANGLE OF SADNESS (dir. Ruben Östlund) - Two thumbs way, way up. “Below Deck” meets Titanic meets Lord of the Flies . A scene-stealing Dolly de Leon is my pick for Best Supporting Actress of the year (from what little I’ve seen). She goes from invisible background c...

Woke Side Story.

How would you know? Do you follow him on Twitter?

Sonic Youth wrote In case you were wondering, Sabin, if people read the entirety of your reviews, here's proof that we do. BLANK. I meant to say blank. (But yes, I was, and I guess that’s nice to know.) Washington is always blank in every film. Hasn't got an iota of charm unlike his dad. Agreed. An...

flipp525 wrote I would say that Diego Calva and Margot Robbie are definitely co-leads. I saw some ridiculous idea on one of those other Oscar sites that they should move Robbie into supporting which is ridiculous. The character on paper is a lead. And she goes through it. The Anna May Wong-inspired...

flipp525 wrote Read the script for Babylon - I really do think that Margot Robbie is in. Very cool. Any other takeaways from the script?

Read the script for Babylon - I really do think that Margot Robbie is in. I worry for both Michelle’s actually. Yeoh because of internet overhype and Academy snobbishness and Williams because she’s shoehorning herself into an already very wide and strong field of Best Actress candidates. Margot was ...

Not only that, but I posted here just last week that I spoke to a good friend who had just seen Till and he stated unequivocally that “Deadwyler will win.” So, yeah, other people here have already been talking about her.

flipp525 wrote Also, my critic friend just got out of a screening of Till and said that Danielle Deadwyler is going to win Best Actress. I've vacillated on including her for Best Actress but I see I ultimately included her. What did your friend say about the film itself? He said it was very good an...

Amsterdam directed by David O. Russell The central friendship that the movie relies on so much needed a bit more specificity and fine-tuning for me to truly care about the reunion plot that comes later. The dip into Aryan Nation, Nazis and white supremacy is fairly obvious and comes off as a plot de...

It’s All Quiet ON the Western Front.

ALSO boringly predictable.

Project much?

Oh, and at this point, we all know what you’re really saying when you use the word “bitchy.” Homophobe.

In his long career, Allen has received a record-breaking 16 Oscar nominations for Best Screenplay. He has won four Academy Awards, including one for Best Director for Annie Hall (1977). Despite his success, he has always been noted for shunning award ceremonies. In recent years, he has been blackli...

Isn’t Michelle Williams supporting in The Fabelmans?
