Re: Welcome to the 97th Academy Awards
Mister Tee wrote For me, Alex Garland is one decent film a decade ago -- not much to hang hopes on. Film just premiered at SXSW. Early reactions are very positive. I'm going to wait for more proper film reviews (y'know, it's the SXSW crowd). I'm not the biggest Garland fan but 28 Days Later... was ...

This just in. Kinds of Kindness is coming out this summer. Probably debuting at Cannes.

When Tom Hanks presented best picture to The Hurt Locker he also didn’t recap the nominees and opened the envelope straight away.mlrg wrote

The short answer is bc this felt more chaotic.

Re: Oscar Ceremony
I just realized something. Jimmy Kimmel sort of pointed this out during the show but if they gave Al Pacino the Best Actress envelope again the same thing would've happened. He would've read out Poor Things. Because he 100% was not in a following the rules kind of mood that night. I know Al Pacino s...

Re: Oscar Ceremony
It seems like general consensus is mixed leaning positive, which is a triumph as far as Oscars are concerned. Maybe we're out of the retooling era. The two standouts seem to be Gosling's "I'm Just Ken" number and John Mulaney. Those are higher highs than most shows get. On the con side, Ji...

Re: I'm always here for the Trivia
Not a piece of trivia but I could see John Mulaney hosting the Oscars next year. Do I know this for a fact? No. But after he got more laughs in 1:30 minutes ("Some people say that the silent era was the golden era of film. These people are difficult and insane.") plus his governor's awards...

Re: Oscar Ceremony
It started off pretty shaky with Jimmy Kimmel's opening monologue. I groaned when the tribunals started up. I'd argue it settled into a little more of a groove as it went along. Some presenters fell flat, some were funny, and some were in between. On the whole, the film has a loose, occasionally wei...

Sonic Youth wrote What a bill of goods! It's "Three Billboards" all over again. When I saw the trailer for 3B, I thought "This movie is gonna fuckin' POP!" Well, it didn't pop - the good stuff was all used up in the trailer - and neither does Fiction. This is why you have to pos...

Re: Stray Thoughts for Day-of
Rooting interests? There are a handful of categories that are truly up in the air, which is more than most years. I'd like them to go in a direction we're not expecting. I'm surprised to find that most of my rooting interests revolve around Barbie. I'd like to see Ryan Gosling surprise everyone and ...
