Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

One does wonder if this group watches these movies, or if movies of this ilk even entice them whatsoever. How many people are in this group? Normally, being able to see films in a timely fashion is what brings me down for topical comments regarding the Oscar selections. Last thing I saw in the theat...

You almost want people to clarify that when they mean comedy, they really mean comedy that's broader than a barn, and includes stuff like golden showers. I think this is the nail on the head....Hangover culture at its finest. The people who laugh harder at the distinctions of a Fargo or Kind Hearts...

All in a matter of 5 days we're going to add a Moore and subtract a Franken...and the most sickening part from a political standpoint...when/if Murkowski or Ernst or Collins or Fischer or Capito get loud and make her Gillibrand-esque demands...the response from Moore will be 'thanks, but no thanks'....

BTW, before we get too smug about this... you know this is eventually going to happen to a Democrat too, right? My money's on Al Franken. Maybe so...but also that's where Louis and Harvey come in...Spacey too probably but less vocally liberal/Democrat than the 2 former. Plus, there's Anthony Weiner...

I'm still rooting--mildly--for the Astros, though I've completely given up, at least for this year and certainly for this series, on my type of baseball (solid pitching, tight defense, and manufactured runs) So funny you made this comment...we sat down to watch the game...me to watch intently, my w...

ON EDIT: But if you want another reason to root against Houston, they just had GW Bush throw out the first pitch. Even more frustrating or odd...both HW and W sporting full on Astros garb...with their actual team not only NOT being Houston but now a division foe. Almost had the stink of Jeter throw...

I have oh so many takes on things and am so far behind...wish I could do a better job keeping up.. - 8 managers make the playoffs and 3 of those are now without jobs...amazing that even with the incredibly less watered down playoffs compared to NFL/NBA/NHL teams are even more hypercritical...I guara...

HAS to be your most enjoyable film viewing conglomeration, for whatever period of time they always represent, in history, Precious...or at least for quite some time!

Two possibilities for Focus' play: 1) they, like me, hadn't realized this shift was now a permanent part of the landscape; 2) they hadn't expected Eternal Sunshine to do as well as it did with critics/audiences, so hadn't seen it as prime Oscar fodder to begin with. Sorry I'm pretty late to this pa...

I am not blind to the outrage over the Leftovers snub on social media...some calling the races..."who was second best to The Leftovers" in each category . However, I also do not know how the balloting works...because Coon is actually up for Best Limited Series Actress and I'm wondering if ...

DC hero could only play a Marvel villain right...haha. You rank him above Molina...are you counting him as an option? Also you said cinematic so maybe it is a definite you aren't including Ali or D'Onofrio...am I correct? I will say one arena where television has definitely upped the ante over film ...

I invoked Tim Ryan's name purely because of his recent opposition and blah milquetoast seemingly 'Democrat A' nature. I will not speak ill of Pelosi period...here or anywhere. I think it will be a real shame if Pelosi is pushed aside as well...and echo all Tee's sentiments to be honest. That said, i...

Well Sabin...I'm with ya...so I guess agree to disagree. I definitely think at the least it is more open to be used as a "goosing" than as the apparent objective conclusion about Perot using the same type polling data that showed Trump as a double digit loser. Just suggested you were goosi...

I mean come on guys...Ford was never elected by anyone..bully for you guys!, Taft + TR = ~5% greater than Wilson and Debs...and while we will just never know for sure who Perot took his 19% from and evidence may point to possibly more Clinton...1/5 is just a shit ton of votes to just assume I'm an i...

Yes, but... you do realize that while you pointed out that we live in a bubble, you illustrated a bubble of your own. Absolutely I do...the same bubble of people who exist in all the other small places in these small margin states who will literally decide the presidential race. The ones who don't ...
