By FortuneFaded Go To PostThey are doing Best Picture before Best Actor/Actress. Okay, no.
This means they end with a Chadwick win
By n8 dogg Go To PostThis means they end with a Chadwick winNope
Bit of a shame really as by all reports he is astonishing in the film. Just funny the Oscars framed their entire show around Boseman winning lol
The fact Lindo wasn’t nommed this year means the ceremony was pointless to me anyway

By FootbalIFan Go To PostHopkins won for The Father?He was brilliant in it. My favourite performance of those nominated. I thought he had no chance against Boseman.
Saw that the other day, he was pretty good in it
By faridmon Go To PostSo is the Father good? Watched a bit of the trailer and looked boringI liked it.
By Punished* Go To PostThere's nothing on this planet more boring than award ceremony discourse.Agreed.

Don't think I've ever seen a serious Glenn Close movie. See on Wikipedia she made her film debut at 35. There's hope for us all then! Unless of course you are already 35.

The cast of Skins lads.
I forget Kaluuya was in Skins, I always think of him as Parking Pataweyo
By Cleff Go To PostFatal Attraction is brilliant. You need to give it a watch.Leaves the iPlayer tonight. Might check it out
By Kidjr Go To PostDaniel's scene in widows is one of my favs from this most decade.
Unable to find a good gif for it right now, so a still will suffice.
Forgot that Sean Connery calls Christopher Lambert pendejo in Highlander. Absolutely first class stuff.
https://deadline.com/2021/04/2021-0scars-tv-ratings-academy-awards-low-abc-disney-1234744135/
In delayed fast national results just released by Nielsen, the 93rd Academy Awards were watched by a mere 9.85 million, with a dismal rating of 1.9 among the 18-49 demographic.
That is an all-time low for Hollywood’s biggest night — by a huge margin.
In fact, it is a drop of about 58% in terms of audience from what the previous low of the 2020 Oscars snared on February 9 last year. In terms of the key demo, the 2021 Oscars is down a crushing 64.2% in the earlier ratings from the 2020 Oscars.
Ma Rainey was decent. Not cinematic enough to justify its transition from the theatre - some of its ostensibly best moments get lost on screen when they would have done gangbusters in the intimacy of a theatre - but some very good performances, Boseman in particular.
Kaluuya deserves it
Old white guy with old white guy problems in a category with 3/5 PoCs? Hopkins was a lock
Incredibly excited to watch The Father either tonight or tomorrow

By n8 dogg Go To PostWidows slaps. Love that film.I really didn't like Widows
Moved way too slow (for me). I think I could have edited and cut away 20 minutes safely
By JesalR Go To PostNever thought Dev Patel would be the most successful person from that show.Is he ?
Good. Fuck the Oscars
Like I need some old white men to tell me what movies are good. That’s what I have slaent for
