But also this awards cycle was probs the most tedious / draining, I think the combination of faux-cinephiles and snarky keyboard warriors online made public discourse around unbearable. Like that’s the main climate of film discourse online rn. It’s so homogenous too with everyone talking about the same 5 (domestic, not even foreign) things on film in a carousel, boring.

Not trying to defend its omission, but I do think if an anime pulls those numbers without academy voters having to have had watched a TV show attached to the movie, I’d like to think it gets in

In memoriam was long as f*** and even then missed many people . If you are going to miss that many people and only truly highlight some that’s damn near worse than just saying “ in memoriam linked online “ or pre show do it

See that’s the hard part I had understanding.

I feel like im only happy for MBJ because he’s black and he a cool kid.

But if I remove all biases, I don’t understand the whole “he might not get another chance”…..I know sports is more objective but in a championship the BEST team/player gets rewarded the trophy. I wish the Oscars was a little more geared around who was the best rather than other factors.

And this is more than just MBJ, Oscars have dropped the ball numerous of times for best picture. In no world was crash and green book the best picture

Jesus witnessed my saintly level of patience to get to the end of it

MBJ is more likely to go up a level than down following this win cmon lol

At least I hope

Monoculture is a major problem among all artist mediums right now imo. Everyone wants to join in on the conversation. People force themselves to have strong opinions both for and against things so they can participate in “dialogue”, which has devolved into meme formats and no dialogue at all.

The OBAA vs Sinners as a sports fandom has been f***ing dumb.

Chainsaw man in the top ratings of letterboxd movies for the year . I get it’s a tough situation because it has show content too but there deserves to be an award for what goes into creating those panels . Even if people think the material or writing itself is trash

Mappa deserves an Oscar

Same way boy and the heron deserved another Oscar

They Live
The Thing
In The Mouth of Madness

Totally agree

OBAA wasn't even my top 3 of the year FYI @WRU

He will be under a microscope of people saying this was a pity award

I blame Stan Twitter and Letterboxd culture for the uncultured and yes even sports culture / team sports mentality when looking at things that (not to be overly romantic ) should be sat with for a lifetime

Real

The Academy excuse for giving MBJ best actor:

literally won't happen

Well yeah but you gonna say some movie from 1946 you watched last year is in your topn

Thing legendary of course

Prince Of Darkness cool

This guy nowhere near the GOAT conversation though

What won’t happen ? People will be hyper critical of his next major role

Cause best actor for this one was a stretch

Crazy thumbnail man hahahaha

To me, Leo gotta get back to being a dog
His comedy overrated
One battle, Hollywood & wallstreet all the same to me

Weapons, Bugonia and Phonecian Scheme my favorites and I like them about equally

This isn't like last year where Furiosa was clearly the opus
