Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

First time since the 78th Academy Awards that no film won more than three awards. Before that, we have to go all the way back to the 13th Academy Awards.

With four awards, Denmark now ties with Spain and Japan as the most successful country for Best International Film. Italy has the most wins - 14, followed by France with 12. Yes, of course... I need to double check this things up. I was meant to say "...ties with Spain and Japan for the THIRD ...

This was one of the disappointments for me. To begin with, we must admit that it was a good year for the category: nothing too dark or out of nowhere. Five more than decent songs.

And it must also be very unusual, if not for the first time, that the first award a movie receives is best director... I think it's the first time since McCarey (The Awful Truth). As Greg stated in the Cinematography topic, the last time the first award won by a film being Director was when Mike Ni...

So... has Nomadland just lost Best Picture?

Such a lovely speech... if a speech is any indication of character, she must be a most lovely lady.

True, I forgot about that. And quite long those clips were...

And now, we are having clips for Documentary...
