    my guy literally invented and reinvented a genre several times over. gave us like three franchise starters. best king adaptations. went above and beyond and outside of horror and shot all sorts of movies. got trash movies to his name giving him depth. gave us kurt russell. did a 90s chevy chase movie and didnt kill himself. revolutionary effects. slapped one key on a keyboard and gave us all time classics. did a movie on a ten dollar budget that blows most multi mil productions out of the water. allat for 'nowhere near'

    I promise I was cherishing Big Trouble In Little China before you were even a sperm

    Halloween one the franchises I couldn't give less f***s about

    Kurt Russel was doing movies with Elvis in the 60s lol Carpenter did not invent him.

    He's good no doubt but there are 150 others on his level.

    FYI I’ve been on the “MBJ isn’t really that good” train for years now.

    Especially when BP came out and every nigga was gassing Killmonger

    Killmonger was more potent than Smoke and Stack tbh

    OBAA would've been the first movie in history with its precursors to not win BP if it had lost

    Sinners was for sure a juggernaut but I don't think the actual best picture race was that competitive

    Lead actors =\= central characters

    Sammy was not no damn lead actor

    Lead actor a stretch but fact mbj wasn’t the best performance in his own movie yet won just as crazy as Jamie Lee Curtis won vs Stephanie hsu

    Nah, I agree 100% with you, I too wish it was that way. Just saying, since that's how it works, I'm glad he's the one that got the win, cause I genuinely like the guy. Have liked him since Fruitvale, so seeing him win warms my heart up a bit.
    But if it was about pure acting chops, for this year I woulda gone with Ethan, honestly. But that's how it is...

    If we going off of “he a good dude, he works hard, this for the culture” then I can’t be mad at all. There’s been wayyyyyy worse winners in history.

    I think it would’ve been a little easier if this category wasn’t stacked this year. Like I said my personal winner was Ethan. After I seen a blue Moon I said there’s no way he doesn’t win. But I feel all the fans made this too much into Timmy vs MBJ, and it was corny to see.

    “Oh Timmy said this about opera”
    “Oh well MBJ said this about John Majors!”

    Stan culture really does ruin art sometimes.

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

    Cause best actor for this one was a stretch

    i'm rejecting the "pity" award framing because i don't think that's the real critique from those people...

    the folks mad are a vocal minority that exist behind keyboards. he's probably more liked than Timmy in the industry and obviously by the press... like i'm not seeing where that angle would even manifest for people to turn on him.

    no one is going to be investing extra time in breaking down his Thomas Crown Affair remake on the basis that he's now an oscar winner

    Pity. Good pr. He one of the good black ones the new will smith . The Oscar’s shouldn’t be about being well liked . It should be about performance that’s it . I’m sorry

    Hard disagree

    Which part?

    Are u saying the time should be unlimited or that the producers should cut them off whenever they feel like with no timer and make judgment calls for each award

    IMO it shouldn’t be unlimited and some structure/formality would help everyone

    A better character.. but ain't no way Killmonger performance coming close to Sinner's performance.. or even his role in Creed.

    Stan culture really does ruin art sometimes.

    It's annoying but it really only has an effect on the awards races which should obviously be viewed separately from the art itself

    While I enjoy thinking and talking about this stuff I also acknowledge that it's completely meaningless and has no bearing on my own opinions whatsoever

    leto is leto in it i knew what i was getting into but the movie itself was solid and knew what it was. ultimately as someone said tron is a franchise about nothing so its no surprise people want it back and then dont care for it when it returns. respectfully i dont care for wes anderson, i watched one movie and didnt like it (hotel tennenbaum whatever its called)

  • My local cinema is doing an Oscar retrospective so I’m catching a Sinners/OBAA double feature tomorrow.

    Haven’t seen Sinners so I’m excited
