Oppenheimer winning makes the #OscarsSoWhite !
But for real, I thought Killers of the Flower Moon was gonna get it(which I would've been fine with tbh) or one of the other 8 movies nominated(that I don't even know the names of because that's how little I care lol) but I guess maybe the Academy voters are realizing their industry is in a shrinking spiral(thanks to the quality/nature of their output + competition from video games, youtube, etc) and needed to award a smash hit more than 12 people saw and won't be totally forgotten about in 3 months.

Very nice for Arrakis.
I'll be seeing it again on Tuesday with some people who haven't seen it yet. Last time I saw a movie more than once at the theater was Fury Road.

It started off way higher but some of the later top critics did an absolute hit job on its score.
Just looked at Metacritic and the one red on there is some dumbass whining about 'white messiah' even though that part was a lot more nuanced than something like Avatar.
Go figure.

Just got out and this is a very, very good movie and I didn't even care all that much for Part 1. Its nice seeing a passion project of this scale that doesn't feel like producer driven corporate dreck. At no point during this movie was my cynical brain counting the beats or the committee mandates that dominate so much media these days. I wish this guy and Nolan could pump out movies once a year because I barely go to the movies anymore.
Not quite as good as LOTR imo, but this is very much Fury Road level

Method acting isn't real, its just a pointless tryhard thing some of these pretenders do on the side to make it feel like they have a real job.

Oppenheimer will most likely win, unless The Zone of Interest pulls off a surprise. Spielberg is really rooting for that one. He named it best Holocaust movie after his own Schindler's List
I would've said Holocaust movies are played out but man anti-semitism is like the zombie that keeps making a comeback whenever you think its just about dead.

The 2000s was the last relevant decade the Oscars had with Gladiator, LOTR, Departed, and No Country For Old Men. Nothing of note has won since. Nobody cares about the Oscars anymore except cinephiles and some twitter personalities. DUNE 2 isn't winning, not depressing enough, same with Oppenheimer.

I 100% believe this is, at the very least, a well-made film because I haven't seen a bad Denis Villeneuve film, but what examples of critics being out of their minds are you thinking of?
Latest one would be True Detective: Night Country which I tapped out halfway through.
I have no doubt this will at the very least be a well made movie because Denis Villnueve is a real filmmaker with a voice and not some corporate checklist hack, but will it be truly great like a lot of the Dunebros pretend Part 1 is? I hope so.

I'm glad the reviews seem to be a lot better than Part 1 which I found to be well made but quite dry, but I'll wait to see it myself before calling this a big W as I'm increasingly finding critics to be out of their fucking minds of late.

Navalny dying on the same day Ukraine loses its most heavily fortified city on the front line. What a coincidence.

Well, if the last Ridley movie was a misfire it would be on-brand for him to win with the next one

Disney can get fucked(for other reasons) but Gina Carano and her youtuber fans have absolutely no self-awareness here.

Anyone watching the latest True Detective? I just tapped out on the latest episode 4. I just don't care, its a tediously trite self important mess with boring ass characters. I’m not hate watching it because I was never invested in it enough to feel a sense of disappointment.
Worse than Season 2, at least that one is funny-bad and endlessly quotable as opposed to this dumb slog.

Went to my first filmmaking class and found out 90% of other people who are actually interested in working in this industry have like Fantastic Mr Fox or Forest Gump or La La Land as their favorite film of all time and have seen maybe 5 movies from before 1975.
Most movies made before 1960 aren't worth watching

This looks likes it could be one of those fake movie ideas the CIA cooked up in another ARGO-like situation but actually got made.

Still haven’t seen barbie, but the “gosling getting nominated and not gerwig or robbie proves the message of the film was correct” must be the stupidest award discourse ever.
Thats classic social media for ya. BARBIE is on Max and I got distracted about an hour in and never went back to finish it, just don't care enough. Nothing against it at all, its just not for me(which is fine, Hollywood!). I get why it was such a smash hit though, it tapped into an under-served market because its a movie about a woman for women which is exceedingly rare in current year Hollywood where every lead role is written like its gender neutral because studios have seemingly adopted this mantra that there are no longer target audiences outside of certain genres like horror - everything must appeal to everyone, everywhere, at all times.
Anyways, if the Academy knows whats best for them they'd give everything to Oppenheimer in order to postpone their slide into cultural irrelevancy. Not since Lord of the Rings and Gladiator do they have an opportunity to award a film that is a perfect marriage of art and commercial success instead of some obscure depressing shit 12 people saw and will be completely forgotten 3 months after the Awards ceremony.

Gladiator was a movie with a very mediocre script that was greatly elevated by a great cast, great direction and production values and an absolutely star-making performance by Russel Crowe. In fact, I can't think of many big budget productions that were so crucially carried on the shoulders of its lead actor. He truly deserved that Oscar. Had they had any other actor in the lead role and the movie would've collapse on itself (imagine someone like Orlando Bloom).
So I really think this sequel is missing the most crucial element in its predecessor's success, and that's Crowe
Joaquin Phoenix was just as good if not better, come on now.
