Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

You beat me to it. Justice for Rhea Seahorn, but Jason Alexander is still the biggest snub of all time. Sticking with Rhea at the top for one main reason...the show also set a very lamentable "record" last night as well....most ever Emmy nominations in history without a SINGLE win...blech...

The Note probably exhibits the most acting, but it's also ONLY neuroses and little else...funny to use hindsight though... I'd bet there was no one in his hear telling him anything BUT the Note should be an option...utilizing "the times" as well... considering just HOW well "not there...

I think that shows are automatically considered Comedy if episodes are around 30 minutes, and Drama if they are around an hour, and shows have to appeal to the Academy to be considered This was the exact point my dumb wordy ass was attempting. I don't have ANY issues with the Bear being recognized ...

The Bear ISN'T a comedy...but voters still have not adjusted (I believe) to length of show being the sole determinate for category placement. Not only is THIS a problem, but also the amorphous landscape of television "length" seems to be above someone's pay grade for deduction. It's 2024 a...

I think what Sabin meant(?)....and what I'm wondering as well...how often do those listed as "LOCK" miss out on the category in which you've found them to be locked?....I imagine with how well you have formulated it is quite rare...do you track % on this happening?

Not the reason they'll nominate her, but can you imagine the furor if Gerwig were the director wiped out by yet another white male director? Yeah OG.....this Not just furor but (Ken) art imitating life to boot (from her very film)....and this one idea has me backtracking my entire thought process. ...

And typing a response WHILE at work is complete dumbassery...as of course, by the time I submit Sabin and Tee have crushed me...sorry for being slow but honestly NOT copying your wisdom

I think this will go five for five at the oscars Mark me down in the camp of someone here getting Glazer-ed or Triet-ed on Oscar nom morning ...and with just HOW strong this year was for director hopefuls (especially in the of late en vogue "one off" foreign film type Academy nomination r...

I know a lot of people don't much care for Kathy Bates these days, but I think she's terrific here I totally agree. Along with the lead actress its Bates who stands out. Forgive me for being a dunce here ...and for the potential derailment of the review thread...but what happened with her and what ...

It may be after-the-fact rationalization, but Fennell has been quoted as saying that's in fact what she was driving at. Nah....she fucked up...and I LOATHE this stuff as well...not only because there MUST be 200 sets of eyes going over these things for months upon months, but if you're gonna choose...

OscarGuy wrote While it was nice to have the occasional vote of Joe Manchin, I think it's probably better to rip the band-aid off now rather than in November next year. Maybe we can get another Democrat who won't completely whiff the state. That said, This puts enormous pressure on Jon Tester, Sher...

Hard to fathom a more deserving cinematography nominee and winner....of which I'm fully aware are BOTH exceedingly unlikely. Interesting dichotomy of opinion for the 3rd act there...and I suppose now having been a couple of days to "pick apart" in my brain... I'm afraid it might fall more ...

Happy Thanksgiving. And I'm thankful for this board always being here to check in on, as an anchor of stability. I barely write about movies because I barely watch them now, and half of them are children's films anyway for hopefully understandable reasons. (Do you really need a review of "Ruby...

Completely agree with Flipp and am ALSO very shocked (not dws, just those who watched) most didn't know Fahy was almost certainly the actor/actress from the show checked on most ballots first. She had the buzz the second her "kidnap Harper" episode aired! While most all TV is consumed diff...
