Re: Categories One-by-One: Supporting Actress
I don't really get how and why Da'Vine Joy Randolph has become such a juggernaut for her performance in The Holdovers. She is good. Not bad at all....but she hasn't brought anything new to the table. It almost seems like a repeat of what we saw Hattie McDaniel do in Gone With the Wind. A modern vers...

Re: Categories One-by-One: Best Actress
I would prefer if they go the old-fashioned route where they award it to the one here who has paid her dues - a career award - Bening. All the others are young and are sure to get their time in the limelight down the line. Although if not, then Gladstone will be an historic win. I think its too soon...

Re: Last Seen Movie - The Latest Movie You Have Seen; ratings
Poor Things (Yorgos Lanthimos, 2023) 8/10 By turns outrageous, hilarious, wise and sad, this film, based on the novel by Alasdair Gray, sort of echoes Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. A medical student (Ramy Youssef) becomes an assistant to an eccentric doctor (Willem Dafoe) and falls in love with his c...

Re: Dune, Part 2
Great visuals but the rest is such a bore with repetitious action sequences that are not even thrilling. I kept wondering how the riders dismounted from the worm after the ride was over.

Re: Last Seen Movie - The Latest Movie You Have Seen; ratings
Murder is Easy (Meenu Gaur, 2023) 6/10 Agatha Christie's latest adaptation has a twist in its casting. The original story's lead protagonist is changed here from a white English police officer to a Nigerian attaché which totally changes the dynamics of the story but in a good way. With black actor D...

Re: Ceremony Details
If it gets more big names on stage, I'm all for it. It was annoying (slowed down the show) but a novelty when they last did this. So many previous Oscar winners appeared on the show. If they can rope in big names from the past it would add old-style glamour to the proceedings. Although the older lo...

Re: R.I.P. Richard Lewis
Lewis and Curtis had great chemistry in the sitcom Anything But Love - a show that was a sort of precusor to Mad About You and Friends. Curtis won a Golden Globe and a sassy Ann Magnuson provided laughs. Lewis is funny as the neurotic but tough reporter at the Chicago-based magazine. Lewis, a funny ...

Re: SAG Thoughts/Winners to be Added
I'm the only one wanting this to happen. Even Bening knows it ain't happening. She was a no show at the ceremony.

Re: SAG Thoughts/Winners to be Added
Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum have amazing chemistry for people who've been divorced for three decades. Oh wow, the minute the two arrived I kept thinking what connection the two had apart from being co-stars in The Fly. And I couldn't figure it out. Ofcourse they were married to each other way bac...

The only sure win I saw for Coming Home was Jon Voight.
