My ranking of best picture noms is: 1. Ford v Ferrari 2. Jojo Rabbit Joker was bad and Once upon a Time was awful. Haven't seen 1917 yet. Not planning on seeing Little Women, Parasite, Marriage Story, or the Irishman.

In this quagmire of upset and controversy and negativity, I just want to highlight how great the selection is for Best Animated Feature. (No Lego Twovie or Fro2en! Bye, bitch!) and no Lion king LOL. Best Animated Feature Film How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World – Dean DeBlois, Bonnie Arnold and Brad Lewis I Lost My Body – Jérémy Clapin and Marc du Pontavice Klaus – Sergio Pablos, Jinko Gotoh and Marisa Román Missing Link – Chris Butler, Arianne Sutner and Travis Knight Toy Story 4 – Josh Cooley, Jonas Rivera and Mark Nielsen

It got nominated for VFX.

Realistic car chase? That car chase has cars spontaneously exploding. You can enjoy the movie as much as you want, it's your right, but that chase is not even vaguely realistic.

With all due respect, and I don't mean to sound offensive or anything. But it's pretty unusual for two foreign-language films to be nominated in major categories. Wouldn't say either would be "snubbed" if they do not get nominated.

sorry for being an uncultured swine but what is the "greta gerwig backlash"? I can't find anything on google.

once again, the Academy shows their homophobic bias, this time against Taron Egerton! BOOOOO!

There are currently rumours for Dua Lipa, Beyonce, Ed Sheeran and Billie Eilish all singing the Bond song. I would not actually be surprised if Billie Eilish got the gig and I think her style suits James Bond quite well. That being said, that rumour website looks like utter nonsense.

Venom being a huge hit does not mean that Venom & co. will appear in MCU films. Some warped logic there.

Little Women is doing really well. If it finishes at 100M domestic... when was the last time a period drama grossed that? Worldwide it will be the highest grossing straight drama film of 2019 that's not a tentpole. It's doing very well. Bear in mind that it still has most major markets still to come, too.

Sony's not allowed to make their own version of Spider-Man in live action films. I have no idea what the contract between Disney and Sony is like, but I would presume that Disney is on board with whatever Sony's trying to do here.

Morbius referencing the Far From Home post-credit scene.

it's confirmed then? The Venomverse is set in the MCU.

alternative spin: The Rise of Skywalker earned 250% of the previous SW movie! What a great success!

You're kind of mis-representing the stats. Yes, on an objective $$ level, it grossed half of the first one. However, "half of its audience" - what do you mean by audience? Fans of the franchise? There were a lot of people who saw the Force Awakens who probably weren't intending on seeing another Star Wars film afterwards. Force Awakens was a historic, cultural, once-in-a-generation event. They contributed to those box office numbers, yet I wouldn't describe them as "the franchise's audience". Also, consider repeat viewings. I know it's a small minority but it's not insignificant. Because (as i said) it was a historic event, there were strong core SW fans who saw the film multiple times. (A NEW STAR WARS MOVIE! gotta watch it over and over! this is amazing!!!) - well five films in 4 years later, that incredible uniqueness of a new Star Wars film, is no longer. If a person watched Force Awakens five times, but only watched TLJ and TROS once or twice, does that count as "losing half your audience", no it doesn't. You could equally say, the Star Wars franchise lost HALF its audience between The Force Awakens and Rogue One the following year. It's a pretty meaningless claim and one that's not very true. The fact that Rise of Skywalker is level with Rogue One kind of shows you that the series is pretty stable and the core audience is still there - even if it hasn't picked up many "new fans" who now want to watch all the new films post-TFA.

a quick read of Wikipedia suggests that the two dudes had written an earlier version of the script, but were replaced by Kelly Marcel. So really she's the writer of both films.

No, it's implying that Spider-Man may be in the trailer, or a link to Spider-Man in the trailer. Not that Jeremy Conrad has a clue what he's on about.

Hope it keeps up its steam. It will keep seems that 1917 is keeping IMAX next week over Bad Boys 3. I'm guessing it will lose them to Dr Dolittle though - although that's not out for a few weeks, it comes out the weekend of the Oscars.

it's just occurred to me that Gollum is actually not so different a character than Venom. A normal person who's been infected by / become a monster and has two split personalities, even, two personalities that talk to and interact with each other. Maybe not such a terrible choice of director as it first seemed...?

You may have read the wrong thing, it's being directed by Gollum himself, andy serkis.

It's currently shooting.

AAAAAAAhahahah I have just discovered that Morbius script is from GODS! OF! EGYPT! writers. Thank you, kind sir.

wrong. look at the club linked above and this one too. it really wasn't expected to do as well as it did. Until a few days before release where it became pretty clear it was going to break the OW record - before that, not many people had pegged it at doing the crazy numbers it did. TFA's performance really can't be overstated.

not sure if it will turn profit, it's barely doubled its budget, right?
