Re: Judy reviews
If Renee Zellweger's performance wasn't that good, she wouldn't be getting awards and that's it. Do you honestly think that anyone in Hollywood is laying up awake at night wondering how and when Renee Zellweger is going to make a comeback? The only reason she's in the conversation is because she's ...

Re: Golden Globe Winners
So, something I forgot to comment on: when Zoe Kravitz came out to present an award with Jason Momoa, shouldn't the announcer have mentioned that he's her step-father? Or did they think that would make him sound too old? I don't know if it's a "should" thing, like a conflict of interest t...

Re: Judy reviews
Zellweger's is also about her career. Rather, her not having one for years. This will be an apology Oscar.Sabin wrote:On one hand, Zellweger's moment is all about the performance she's giving while Glenn Close's moment last year was more about her career.

Someone tell the clods who keep nominating Todd Phillips over her.Mister Tee wrote:We've seen many actors-turned-directors over-rewarded with prizes over the years for mere competence. Gerwig might be one who wins awards because she's genuinely among the best at her craft.

Re: Globe Thoughts
I'm an ABZ: anyone but Zellweger. Now I'm picturing people voting for her and then patting themselves on the back, as if they've done a good deed for someone who died 50 years ago. I'm more pessimistic than ever.Big Magilla wrote:Zellweger who I reasoned would be honored for both herself and Garland.

Re: New York Film Critics Circle Winners
Try The Meyerowitz Stories . It's not a lowbrow Sandler vehicle; neither is he capital-A Acting. He just gives a nice performance. Thanks for the suggestion. I just watched it on Netflix. Good ensemble work with both Sandler and Stiller at their best along with Dustin Hoffman in his best role in ye...

Re: Possible Consolidation of the Two Sound Categories
But how do unequal numbers help voters distinguish what an editor does from what a mixer does?Big Magilla wrote:From 1982-2005 it was easy to distinguish the two categories because everyone knew that there were only three nominees for sound editing while sound mixing always had five.

Re: Possible Consolidation of the Two Sound Categories
The work sound editors do can be rather amazing and it's unfair that morons in other branches who should fucking know the difference are going to deny those sound editors their rightful prizes. Do we know why they changed the category names in the first place? If I'm correct in my completely uninfo...

Re: New York Film Critics Circle Winners
I've never seen an Adam Sandler film I could stomach aside from The Wedding Singer which was mildly entertaining. I've found his dramatic films to be even tougher to sit through than his dimwitted comedies. Punch-Drunk Love and Spanglish were pure torture for me. Try The Meyerowitz Stories . It's n...

Re: Possible Consolidation of the Two Sound Categories
it was when they changed the titles of the categories that everything went awry. Everyone understood the difference between Achievement in Sound and Sound Effects It really is that simple! I'm guessing members of the sound branch don't like the term "sound effects," as it suggests people ...

Re: Kicking Off the Fall Season
General heads-up: Little Women (1994) is leaving Netflix streaming on November 1. I really resent the idea of Bombshell being an actual good movie. It's not terribly far-fetched. Jay Roach has directed a few well-received TV movies about the media and politics. In fact he's won 2 best directing Emmy...

Re: The Post-Festival Landscape
That's why I put it in quotes.
I like Taika Waititi but I'm deeply skeptical of Jojo Rabbit, Oscar front-runner.

Re: The Post-Festival Landscape
Q: How many people vote on the TIFF audience award? Is it possible that they felt some embarrassment/responsibility for Green Book and went out of their way to pick something 'risky'?

Re: The Post-Festival Landscape
I think that Renee Zellweger discussing this sexist treatment (and it is) is going to get her a lot of attention, sympathy, and momentum in the Oscar race. If she isn't the front-runner now, after at least one critic's award, a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy (her FOURTH Golden Gl...
