Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

I've seen Serial Mom but I don't remember her in it, beside which playing oneself is technically not acting. This is truly one of the dumbest things I think I’ve ever seen posted here. We’ll be sure to let John Malkovich know. You trotting this out instead of (yet again) just admitting that you wer...

He worked pretty constantly, both in film and television. It's nice that he has an Academy Award to his credit. He's the kind of character actor who rarely gets a moment of recognition. I remember him being a pretty unexceptional coattail nomination but after rewatching the film recently he's still...

I attended a sneak preview of Killers of the Flower Moon tonight. Still processing as I literally just walked out, but this is a major work from Scorsese and included some interesting “surprises” that I won’t give away including some really greats cameos. Lily Gladstone is very much a borderline sup...

Not familiar with Step by Step , but I do recall the Thigh Master ads which were everywhere. Sure, she made a ton of money with Thigh Master so good for her, but I was focused on her acting career which was non-existent for decades. Yes, you keep saying that. And, no, her acting career was not “non...

Three's Company - Suzanne, John Ritter, Joyce DeWitt, Audra Lindley, Norman Fell all in iconic performances from 1976-1982. The magic left with Suzanne in a contract dispute and never recovered although it struggled for two more years. Her career never recovered either though she was often in the n...

Did you also see the three other shorts also based on Roald Dahl short stories? Namely The Swan , The Rat Catcher and Poison ? If you binge all 4 together, it’s basically an entirely new Wes Anderson feature! Jesus, that sounds like fucking hell. Is that specific to this project or do you not like ...

Don't know if it counts as a movie -- short, I presume -- but I watched The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar the other night. It's a perfectly pleasant thing, with a (typically) over-qualified cast. Wes at this point seems all in on the narrative-within-narrative-within-narrative, and I can see peopl...

I think Rhea Perlman could sneak in for Barbie if the Academy really goes for it. She was perfect in a small, but important role and that category is weak as hell this year.

What about Glenn Howerton for BlackBerry?

Emma Stone has entered the room. Her reviews for Poor Things are at near-rapturous levels and it seems like she will at least be nominated and possibly be in second win territory.

Michael Cera was also a stand-out. He was really funny every time “Allan” showed up on the screen.

LOVED IT!!! A really unexpected, earnest, emotional treat, with eye-popping art direction, a surprising and hilarious screenplay (the last line of the movie is hysterical), with an excellent and touching Margot Robbie performance at its heart. But Ryan Gosling’s “Ken” absolutely steals the show. Omg...

Ryan Gosling seems like a good bet for a Best Supporting Actor nomination based on the reviews.

I’m kind of surprised by the response to Meghann Fahy’s nomination here which was on my wishlist for yesterday. Her performance is one of the best parts of the season. Two scenes in particular (telling Harper about her personal trainer and the scene in the last episode between her and Nathan) were v...

Does anyone have Dominique Fishback in their predictions for Best Actress in a Limited Series? I just finished Swarm and, wow. She gives a truly balls-to-the-wall gonzo performance all throughout that only increases in power as the series progresses. She has been on my radar since I first saw her in...
