Re: I'm always here for the Trivia

The entire film was not in a foreign language. The main characters spoke Korean at home, English when speaking to anyone outside the family. I don't know the percentage of English to Korean, but the Golden Globes caught hell for refusing to consider the film for Best Picture - Drama, allowing consid...

Re: Last Seen Movie - The Latest Movie You Have Seen; ratings

Ferrari (Michael Mann, 2023) 8/10 There is clearly a sense of doom and gloom that prevades across this film. Could be why a film by Michael Mann failed to get the attention it deserved. It is a look-in at the life of Enzo Ferrari (Adam Driver) - Italian motor racing driver and entrepreneur, the fou...

Re: Welcome to the 97th Academy Awards

Megalopolis is in post-production so barring another attack on NYC or something equally horrific which put it on hold after 9/11, it should be ready by the end of the year, but it still doesn't have a release date. A Complete Unknown is more problematic. Mangold does have other projects on his plat...

Re: The 25th Annual Who'll Be Back?

This is a tougher one than usual because so many of the acting nominees seem to have been either here this year for their first and only time or at the end or for their last hurrah. Among best actor nominees, Colman Domingo will likely be back this year. Paul Giamatti, Jeffrey Wright, and winner Cil...

Re: New Developments III

Semantics. I can't read the article which requires a subscription to Fox News which I have no intention of doing, but the six dismissed charges are as good as gone. Refiling the violation of oath charges with reference to the specific oaths that were broken would take time and delay the trial even f...

Re: Welcome to the 97th Academy Awards

I think you're confusing anthology films with hyperlink films. Here's the difference as explained in Wikipedia: An anthology film (also known as an omnibus film, package film, or portmanteau film) is a single film consisting of several shorter films, each complete in itself and distinguished from th...

Re: Welcome to the 97th Academy Awards

California Suite , for which Maggie Smith won her second Oscar, is one I forgot about, but you're right, there's no reason an anthology film can't win a Best Picture Oscar at some point just because it's never happened before. I have no doubt that Lanthimos and Emma Stone will have many more awards...

Re: Welcome to the 97th Academy Awards

Some of these may get pushed to 2025. Kinds of Kindness could be one. Emma Stone under Lanthimos' direction two years in a row might feed into the narrative of they never do the same thing twice in a row. Besides which it's an anthology piece in which the three leads (Stone, Margaret Qualley, Jesse ...

Re: New Developments III

Meanwhile Goergia judge just threw out the infamous phone call and five other charges in that case.

Trump is going to get away with everything outside of New York, isn't he?

Re: I'm always here for the Trivia

Not sure it counts, but has any acting winner ever had as many former co-stars as Emma Stone had presenting the night they won? In addition to the obvious Ryan Gosling from Crazy, Stupid, Love and La La Land and Ramy Youssef from Poor Things , there were Michael Keaton from Birdman , Sally Field fro...

Re: Oscar Ceremony

As I said in an edited portion below: this happened when Laurence Olivier gave out best picture to Amadeus for 1984; that night, it was clearly a screw-up by an addled old guy (and winner Saul Zaentz tried to cover for it by naming the other films in his acceptance speech). In this case, because Cy...

Re: Oscar Predictions Contest

Jefforey, I like your suggestion about the cutoff for contest entries being when the host starts his monologue but that can be just as tricky as getting the time right if you're not watching the posts live. However, even if the cutoff were an hour before the show begins, someone will always wait unt...
