OT: Academy Awards

[MorningCoffee13]

I didn’t see as many of the nominees as I normally do but what are thoughts?

The only one I want to root hard for to win is “Flow” for best animated feature. Just a sweet sweet film.

Best Picture. I saw Dune II, Conclave, A Complete Unknown and slogged through Emilia Perez on Netflix. Conclave was best of what I saw.

Best Actor seems to be a battle between Brody and Chalamet. Maybe Ralph sneaks in.

Actress seems to be leaning towards Demi but the Anora stans keep hoping for Mikey Madison.

Supporting seems to be a lock for Culkin and Zoe.

A fairly weak year in my opinion.

Man I remember when Demi couldn’t act. That was 40 years ago of course.

Good for her.

Of the best picture nominees I have only see dune. Loved it.

Watched gladiator 2 last week and thought it was really boring and not good at all.

Nosfaratu was good but not great.

Longlegs was mid.

I dont remember seeing anything last year that grabbed my attention as really well done.

Dune is the only new movie I’ve watched in like… 4 years. And it was phenomenal. It should win everything.

Gladiator 2 was a fine watch for me. Nothing spectacular. It did little with character development. Would have liked to see more from those weird twins to make them stronger antagonists, and the lead character needed additional development. But what was up with those monkey dogs, and even worse turning the Roman coliseum into a shark tank? That was cringe.

Sharks was literally jumping the shark. The movie didn't know if it wanted to be an action movie or a political one. The political plot felt way too rushed and way too much standing around for it to be an action movie.

Loved Flow. Almost loved Substance.

Have not really paid attention for the last 40 years or so..

Every since great films like Used Cars, Idiocracy and The Waterboy have been past over I have paid no attention to this scam of a selection process....
