#but no cinematography nom

[lorephobic]

keeping up with awards season has truly turned me into such a vitriolic and bitter person i think the academy should explode and there should be no survivors

[turturros]

did luca guadagnino piss someone off in the academy...

will anything ever compare to the feeling of watching Challengers in theaters for the first time when the camera suddenly becomes the ball

Avalon (1990). Polish-Jewish family comes to the U.S. at the beginning of the twentieth century. There, the family and their children try to make themselves a better future in the so-called promised land.

They just don't make intergenerational family epics like this anymore. I was really moved by this one! Warm, funny, and sometimes quietly devastating, you really feel you get to know this family intimately, with all their grace and determination and foibles. It's bolstered by some really lovely performances, beautiful performances and a lovely score. Old fashioned, but in a really good sort of way. 8/10.

the oscar nominations got me forgetting what movies even came out this year like what is this i havent even heard of these movies b4 this is made up

Finally saw The Holdovers, and my hot take is it was snubbed for both cinematography and production design noms. Its cinematography accomplished and surpassed what I think Maestro was trying to achieve, and (spicy hot take here) its overall production design impressed me more than Barbie's

kit opinions on oscar noms??

I’ve seen less films this year so I don’t have many opinions besides ones I’ve had based on other people’s thoughts but

Emilia Perez got too many nominations (should’ve gotten zero)

I’m happy Sebastian got nominated for an Oscar (but I wish it was for his film a different man)

And I hope timothee wins best actor because I think it would be poetic

wish Daniel Craig got nominated for queer and I’m very surprised challengers didn’t at least get a soundtrack nom

[rorykillmore]

outrageously hyped that a horror movie as weird and gross as the substance is, is doing so well

[femme-foucault]

Whoaaaa Challengers for Score!!! Who are these people and what have they done with the Globes???

Matewan (1987). A labor union organizer comes to an embattled mining community brutally and violently dominated and harassed by the mining company.

Movies about American unions, particularly American unions in coal country, are remarkably common, but few manage the level of grit, honesty and hope that Matewan does. What a great film! Really drums home the resilience of this community and the challenges of unifying workers when those at the top are all too willing to exploit differences of race, gender and class in order to divide. Just a great, well-made film. 8/10.

luca guadagnino i'm sorry i wasn't an academy voter

(this is for queer mostly but also challengers score)

[buotella]

It’s over for us. The academy is too Emilia Perez pilled

[einaudis]

I wonder if Oppenheimer will be back in theaters here as well. Because I have this supreme need to go again just for the "Can You Hear the Music?" sequence.
