Well, we know what Jennifer Lawrence won't be voting for:

Clearly she has a very limited attention span.

Re: Academy Members' Brutally Honest Ballots
Fascinating. It seems to imply that while more diverse, the numbers are not there to make huge differences.

This one's been the most logical so far, even if I don't agree with all his or her choices.anonymous1980 wrote:Here's another one.
It's a publicist this time. This person seems to be a bit more in line with my taste, I think, more so than all the others so far at least.

Re: Academy Members' Brutally Honest Ballots
It is clear that a lot of the Academy members are still confused by the prefrential ballot system.
And like always a lot of them vote for friends or if they feel someone is overdue.

And nothing else other than Picture and Score.Mister Tee wrote:Well, that and the fact that the headline literally says "Editor thinks..."anonymous1980 wrote:Another one.
This one isn't as infuriating as the others. They didn't say who this person was but I suspect it's an editor since he (or she) said a lot about it.
Actually I found this the most infuriating of the three.
I am so sick of this over-glorification of Get Out, a perfectly fine Grade B movie and something I've probably recommended to more people than other film last year, but deserving of a Best Picture Oscar? No. A nomination, OK, considering there are more than five slots, but not a win.
And I didn't like the score for Dunkirk at all. Too loud and intrusive, screaming "listed to me!" over and over.

I wasn't talking about the costume designer, I thought that was a woman. I was referring to the Daily Beast writer.

I couldn’t really believe that, honestly. I mean, like, really?The Original BJ wrote:Someone sat through Darkest Hour FIVE TIMES?!
These voters seemed to be enthralled by Mudbound. I feel like I saw a totally different movie than the IndieWite girl (I felt like that was clearly a woman actually, Wes). Can you imagine staying that Mudbound had more timely relevance than Get Out?
