Gotta love March predictions

I mean , Look at David O Russell , his misadventures are discussed publicly by actors and actresses who worked for him when will he get his share ???

He actually doesn't give a damn , he is not the guy who wants to star in blockbusters or something , he is way more serious than Damon and his older brother to consider such films and frankly he is way too good to be ignored when it comes to movies with such heartfelt themes aimed at a narrow audience plus actors with worse reputations have recovered given a few years

MMFR was nominated for 10 million oscars and other awards including 6 oscar wins . If you want only big movies to be nominated then Whiplash , Her , Beasts of the southern wild and the likes will be swept under the rug , sometimes the general audience is just wrong , take The Fast and the Furious franchise as an example

Well, there is the The Artist so ....

I love how every person not being Super Happy with moonlight's win is now a racist Fellas it is not about the subject of controversy , it's about controversy it self . in the past years many many movies were awarded because they touched a "Hot Subject" where as more artistic movies were awarded mostly technical stuff . Argo , Spotlight , Hurt locker ,The Artist (old films were really cool thing ) , and now Moonlight are prime examples of this sort of behavior . ever since the new voting system and the number of BP nominees increased truly artistic movies started losing to movies with sensitive subjects , if No country for old men , A Beautiful Mind , Slumdog Millionaire and Million dollar baby were to be nominated next year they would lose to a movie about elections and political corruption so please fellas stop it with the racist thing

Agreed . in the end it went to one of the top 3 movies of the year so it is not like Lion or Hacksaw Ridge won the important thing is justice was delivered in the acting categories ( especially Affleck , not so especially Stone as she is the only controversial winner ) and both screenplay categories were very well deserved , Chazelle won Director so it was a very fine year I would say

My friend stone won the Sag and Gosling was nominated for it , they were not however nominated for ensemble cast because the movie has only those two in it's entirety and as you know those two were nominated with one of them winning and about the editing thing it's not like Moonlight won it over LLL , freakin Hacksaw Ridge took the damn thing ( sorry but it made me very angry that Arrival or LLL did not take that ) so Moonlight had the same chink in the armor that LLL had but without having LLL's arsenal of weapons

12 years a slave was a damn masterpiece man , movies like that should win naturally don't dismiss movie qualities based on race please

My friend no movie in recent years has had such strong precursors , and the SAG ensemble thing was because it literally had an actor and an actress for the entire duration of the movie now there has been some movies with very strong award buzz before the oscars and were considered the frontrunners such as The Social Network and Boyhood but when they lost best picture they lost a whole bunch of academy awards with them including best director , LLL won everything it was predicted to win except for sound mixing and film editing but lost BP , which means Moonlight did not in fact pull off a King's Speech , not even the same case with last year's Spotlight because it was still considered the frontrunner heading into the oscars despite losing in many categories

Personally I think the second act was phenomenal , nothing happened in the third act (either that or I missed the point ) but this is my personal opinion which is not a fact but the other things that I said about the award season and Moonlight's win is an objective look at the numbers and equations

Moonlight is a FANTASTIC movie with an incredible first and second act , however the third act is somewhat average and that IMO is what holds it from greatness , that is why being awarded BP is not a very deserving one , the win here is almost fully political but that doesn't mean it is not a very good movie for in fact it is but looking back at the awards LLL has won like the DGA , PGA , BAFTA , sweeping the Globes and about 70 other awards with moonlight semi consistently winning supporting actor and screenplay here and there now those are the same people who awarded Moonlight very few awards , hell it lost the best ensemble to hidden figures , so it is not like the oscars don't overlap with the DGA , PGA , BAFTA and SAG who obviously thought that nothing comes near LLL but the controversy surrounding the subject which happens to be extremely close to the controversy surrounding the oscars in the past couple years led to the Moonlight win I'm not being racist here , it is the same with Crash/Argo/King's speech winning BP and those are almost completely white movies but tackling some sensitive subjects leads to winning in this manner and there are plenty of examples in recent years , the thing is there hasn't been such a clear front runner in years with the closest thing being Slumdog Millionaire , LLL won everything and then some but the whole "the academy loves to honor movies about movies " paired with " here is a very good movie about gay struggle " in a year where the academy is recovering from the oscars so white thing and one gotta say the win is not wholehearted

IMO Moonlight's first and second acts were PHENOMENAL , absolutely amazing , but the third act was pretty average ( either that or I missed something ) and the ending is a very important aspect of any movie and there it was lacking a bit compared to the rest of the nominees My personal favorite was Manchester by the Sea and it did win the awards it deserved and it would have won supporting actress too if viola was nominated as lead but the category fraud these years seems to be working well

and WHAT THE HELL happened in the end ? Moonlight ???

How the hell did LLL lose both sound categories and editing ??? If Arrival took editing it would be fine because the movie was built on it but hacksaw ridge ? really ?

They did deserve it but DiCaprio and Redmayne ??? please !

I watched it again with like a calculator , he is on for about 13 mins and some change which is on par or more than the screen time of Raylance but I'm pretty sure Leto was on for more to be completely honest he deserves the oscar , one of the rare cases where it actually goes where it should

how many minutes was Ali's screen time ?

Viola Davis deserves the oscar for she was a beast in that role but also to be fair she did have a lot of space to do that compared to the others , she is practically lead actress nominated for supporting , like Vikander last year the academy needs some rules to prevent such cases

having seen all the nominated movies except for HF , Manchester by the sea really deserves winning screenplay and actor it is also a very BP deserving movie but I can see why most people wouldn't vote for it

except the animation , Kubo was very mainstream I'm ok with anything else winning
