Gives a whole new meaning to the "Not Cool" reaction.

Netflix needs to not only rely on complex, critically acclaimed films from acclaimed directors to aim for that Best Picture Oscar, because so often it's the competently made, "feel-good" film that wins. I'd say most of Netflix's original major contenders (Roma, Mank, The Irishman, Marriage Story, Power of the Dog) have been the kinds of movies that the Academy will not always award as the best film of the year if they have a suitable "feel-good" alternative. Not always, but Netflix needs to consider that moving forward, if they so badly want that Oscar.

 

Peace,

Mike

 

 

1 white noise adaptation coming right up!

Quote

"When Chris hosted the Oscars in 2016, Jada was boycotting because of 'Oscars So White.' In his monologue, he made fun of her, saying she can't boycott something she wasn't invited to," the insider explains. "Will was still mad about that."

At the time, Rock made a jab at Jada, 50, in his opening monologue. "Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited," he said.

Anyway, despite it being a crap year for film full of crap nominees, it was kind of an enjoying show.

Not really, everyone agrees that he could've handled it better without violence. Although because so much of the ceremony was a chore to get through, this one will at least forever have the distinction of being known as The One Where Will Smith Slapped Chris Rock.

But I was rooting for Italy in the Euro final

Sometimes people need to get slapped. There’s no shame in it.

Yeah, the "edited-in" categories completely felt like an afterthought, and that sense of momentum from win after win (most wins of the night) was lost. They didn't save any time from cutting the categories from the live show, so one can hope they will re-instate them next year. Certainly, I hope they do.

 

Peace,

Mike

He is a scientologist whacko (with minimal talent) so you may be right
