RDJ’s Oscar snub in 2010

Folks, do you have any information on why Robert was not nominated at the 82nd Academy Awards? He won a Golden Globe for Best Performance in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy (one of the 2 categories for a leading role) for Sherlock Holmes (rating 7.6 on IMDB) and was completely ignored at the Oscars. How the heck did that happen?

By comparison, Ryan Gosling was nominated this year for Barbie, also a comedy, with a 6.9 rating on IMDB.  Are they telling us that this acting was superior to RDJ’s Sherlock?!?

No offense to Ryan, all actors who give good performances deserve awards, but this situation is not okay.

I'd just like to take the time to remind people that today is the 15th anniversary of Walt Disney's "The Princess and the Frog". Disney's 49th overall animated release and the first theatrical film since 2004's 'Home on the Range' to be completely 2-D animated. Set in New Orleans during the 1920s, the film tells the story of a hardworking waitress named Tiana who dreams of opening her own restaurant. After kissing prince Naveen, who has been turned into a frog by the evil voodoo witch doctor Facilier, Tiana becomes a frog as well and the two must find a way to turn human again before it is too late. This film was released on December 11th, 2009. It was a qualified success at the box office: it somewhat underperformed Disney's targets yet finished in first place in North America on its opening weekend and grossed around $271 million worldwide (becoming, in the process, Disney’s most successful traditionally animated film since Lilo & Stitch in 2002). It received three Oscar nominations at the 82nd Academy Awards: one for Best Animated Feature and two for Best Original Song.

Again, to remind people. This movie gave us Disney's FIRST (and so far only) canon black Princess. This was my eldest niece's favorite movie for a while in 2010. Man it doesn't feel like this was 15 years ago...

Berlin Flashback: Golshifteh Farahani Debuted at the Fest in ‘About Elly’

The film’s director, Asghar Farhadi, would win the Silver Bear for directing, and the film would go on to become Iran’s official Oscar submission for best foreign-language film at the 82nd Academy Awards.

Iranian-born actress Golshifteh Farahani — who returns to the Berlinale this year to serve on the jury headed by Kristen Stewart — found herself in the middle of several controversies when she first visited the festival in 2009 as one of the stars of Asghar Farhadi’s About Elly.

At the time, there was some speculation over whether the film, which followed a group of middle-class Iranians on a vacation to the Caspian Sea, would be banned in Iran. Appearing before the press, Farahani called the speculation “a storm in a teacup,” while director Farhadi blamed the media for stoking the controversy, saying: “I think they really blew things up out of all proportion. I am quite confident the film will not have difficulties in Iran. In fact, it is being shown in Tehran tonight, after the premiere in Berlin.”

Farhadi, who went on to win the festival’s Silver Bear for directing, proved correct, and About Elly ultimately was chosen by Iran as its official submission for best foreign-language film at the 82nd Academy Awards. But Farahani did not fare as well. She also faced criticism from Iranian authorities for her role in Ridley Scott’s 2008 Middle East-set spy thriller Body of Lies, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe, in which she appeared without a hijab. It became an open question whether she’d be allowed to return to her homeland. “I don’t have any problems in going back to Iran. I’ve never had such problems. It’s just propaganda,” the actress, then 25, insisted.

But that was not the case, and Farahani —  who went on to star in such films as Jim Jarmusch’s 2016 Paterson, the 2017 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and 2020’s Extraction — was forced to flee to Paris, which has been her home ever since. “For the first time in my life, I appreciated being a woman,” she told The Guardian in 2012. “Paris is a city that liberates you as a woman from all your sins that you think you are guilty of;­­ it washes away all of that and you are free.”

Near Dark (1987)

In 2009 the war drama The Hurt Locker won six Oscars, including Best Picture, becoming the lowest-grossing movie to ever sweep the Academy Awards. What’s more astonishing is that in the Academy Awards’ 82nd year, Hurt Locker director Kathryn Bigelow became the very first & only woman to ever win an Oscar for Best Director. Five years later it’s still a feat that somehow has not been repeated.…
