Re: 95th Oscars General Ceremony Discussion
Stewart faced maybe the toughest competition in his best years: Donat (or Gable) with Mr. Smith, March with Wonderful Life, Jack Lemmon in the Anatomy year (the Academy made a truly indefensible choice there). That's how he ended up winning for one of his least distinguished nominations. (Though he...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Leading Actor
Out of pure sentiment, and recognizing what a great actor he is, I hope Farrell wins. There is something with Fraser's campaign that I have found somewhat unpleasant, even manipulative. Fraser may have been close of getting a previous nomination in 1998 for Gods and Monsters but nothing else from h...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Leading Actor
These debits are pretty much the main reason Colin Farrell remains alive in the race, even if, as I suggested up top, at long shot level. This has always been a three-way race in my mind. I could easily see Farrell sneaking through if voters split heavily between Fraser and Butler. And it wouldn't ...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Original Screenplay
I wonder how many voters saw Triangle of Sadness with an audience. The audience I was with LOVED it and comedies are always better with a crowd. If not, I wonder how the satire lands without a crowd. Östlund goes too obvious much of the time (to the point I could predict actions and lines of dialog...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Original Screenplay
If you haven't heard, this is the biggest year ever for the Irish at the Oscars. Not Irish Americans, who go way back to Cagney, Ford and Huston, but native-born Irish. A record five Irish actors in contention , McDonagh's film in all top categories, the first film ever nominated in the Internation...

Re: Telecast Discussion
To come up with a year that was so blindingly predictable and so unbearable, I think I have to go back to the Gandhi putsch of 1982. (There's an anniversary not worth celebrating.) … (Which would also have spared us Kevin Costner's "I make overlong movies, so expect overlong intros, as well&qu...

Re: New Developments III
That said, I'll acknowledge we did underestimate Russia up to now, so... And in Trump's case, openly embracing Putin from the beginning. While other leaders might've underestimated or gave Putin the benefit of the doubt at some point, they didn't praise and enable him. What's funny about Trump in t...

Re: Bad Ideas Never Die: Eight Awards Bumped from the Oscar Telecast
And to add on Oscarguy's point, I think we're overestimating the amount having genuinely popular films affects the ratings. The 2019 year had five films score above $100 million and the genuine blockbuster of the bunch was a frontrunner for best actor. Yet 9 million fewer people watched that show t...
