There is no way i believe the Academy actually watch all these hollywood movies to really have a fair vote as it is. Adding foreign films to your Best Picture pool just means there will be a larger pool of unwatched movies that don't make the cut. It really should be limited as there isn't enough hours in the year to really get through all these foreign movies.

Green Book hate? Anyone I've spoken to sing its praises, i think that hate is limited to these forums

But where do they draw the line? It means one year you could have all nominees as foreign language speaking films

Yes was i not clear? Theres a foreign film category for a reason. Still can't be worse than Shape of water

Most popular filmmaker in the world? 😂 what world do you live in? Stop showing me rotten tomato scores, the terrible Babadook has 97% so the numbers dont mean shit Wake up on golden globes morning to see everyone posting about it. Wake up this morning and no-one is talking about the oscars. Parasite winning probably explains that. More people will end up watching and discussing Ricky Gervais' opening monologue than seeing last nights oscar winner. Oscars so dead

They have a best foreign film category for a reason. Why isn't Parasite in there? Its nonsense

Lets not go overboard

Isn't this the same guy that made the awful train movie everyone over hyped?

So glad i didn't stay up to see some foreign film no-one will ever watch win.

Because he's sober

How could they forget Aerosmith and Armageddon

Well luckily your opinion is in the minority And no he never had a chance as the last thing the Academy want is their guest to steal the show

Ricky Gervais would have a field day

Why are American Celebrities so cringe and unfunny

David arnold gave us a brilliant score for ID4

You're really stretching

My thoughts on her music aside, she seems very humble and nice so good for her, especially being as young as she is

Is Billy Ellish a terrible musician or am i just becoming a boomer?

You were the only one to vote

Yeah can't lie, Zoe Saldana just looks hot in all colours. Sex sells

I think he offered fair criticism. It didn't seem like he was slamming WW so much as slamming the idea of a strong sexualised female lead kicking ass as 'groundbreaking'. That being said, the idea that WW needed to be groundbreaking to earn praise instead of being the female counter-part it was may have some hint of sexist undertones. Its not like they'd hire a Steve Buscemi to play Superman. I dont think Cameron has lost touch just yet, there's a lot of Avatar fans out there

But why? She hardly lit up the others. I'd rather her boyfriend return

I agree with what you are saying but i still think its best to wait for a trailer before making any sort of assumptions as we have no idea how this will be marketed. Im assuming you've read the books therefore know more of what to expect however I dont believe Dune is a well known enough property that it could hinder its performance. This movie has the best release date you can get and if its advertised as a visually striking space fantasy that pulls in a large enough audience for its OW it's potential is huge. As for the lack of notable stars, films that try immersing you into a new world work better without them as a distraction. Sam Worthington being a nobody helped for Avatar, giving the audience the feel of something new rather than being 'that new Matt Damon movie'. LOTR, HP, Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek...These franchises didn't use well know movie stars, they created them and there's enough young talent on board for it to potentially happen again. Im not saying this film is destined to be huge but I won't write it off this far out just because others failed in the past.

Yeah but most of those movies were dead on arrival, its all about how they are advertised. Blade Runner was never a big hit in the first place so a flop was expected. Enders game looked like an unappealing children's sci fi and john carter was just not that good. If the trailer and product is good there no reason this can't break out, people showed up for The Martian after-all Its the same case with video game adaptations, is the source material to blame or the string of shitty productions we've been given?

Denis is a great director but he doesn't bode well for box office success
