I agree with you about the Oscars; it's pretty much become overly pretentious and predictable (Disney/Pixar always wins Best Animated Feature, something really long and depressing wins Best Picture, etc.). What I tend to pay more attention to are the Razzies (awards for the year's worst films). Can you believe the Razzies nominated Tom Hanks in 2 categories for his performance in Elvis? Like, okay, maybe his accent was a little weird at times, but his performance was great! What the heck were they thinking?

..im gonna be absolutely honest w you, i thought the accent was the most bizarre thing ive ever had someone try to tell me was southern-passing. i was honestly baffled by the way the colonel kept insisting he was from west virginia in the movie bc of how ludicrously dutch he sounded at all times 😂😂 and then i listened to the colonel's real-life speaking voice and said oohhhh.

p sure they spent so much of their budget getting austin up to par w his ten billion vocal coaches that tom had to fend for himself 😉

i did think his acting was Great, in a perfectly sleazy, tongue-in-cheek, baz-luhrmann-movie kind of way ! but i can also see how it could come off as over-the-top if you weren't familiar or comfortable with the way baz's work tends to bash you over the head. personally i found the beauty of tom's performance in how even his needling the audience for sympathy was obvious and hamfisted... but as we've already established, critics don't know jack shit ! 😁
