Everything Everywhere All At Once 9. Triangle of Sadness I think there's an APB out on Women Talking. It has been kidnapped, never to be released.

His brief scene was one of my favorites in that movie. It's also oddly symbolic when it comes to what happens to Dano's character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I haven't been as mystified by something in a long time as people's wanking over that Judd Hirsch scene. Probably the worst scene in the movie tbh. Dano was much better, didn't deserve a nom either but one of my favorite actors so sad he missed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis Haven't seen the other three yet, though I think the only one I see being worse than Elvis is Triangle of Sadness. We'll see when I see it of course.

The only things I had seen from Women Talking for the longest time (i.e. till last week) was the publicity stills they released. And all of them had them in old timey clothes sitting in candlelight. So I just assumed it was a late 1800s/early 1900s set movie. Last week when reading an article about potential Oscar players, I did a double take when the synopsis said 2010. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirsch did nothing outside of a three minute cameo, where he mostly just did his judd hirsch schtick; dano trying to compose himself while telling the kids about the divorce was the best piece of acting in that whole movie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Disney movie always wins, Animation Twitter will cry about it for a week, and then we all move on with our lives. Like clockwork. The Disney Animation brand is like catnip for the Academy voters. Spider-Verse got lucky both Incredibles 2 and Ralph 2 were polarizing. Turning Red is universally loved, so it'll unfortunately get the automatic win. It is what it is.

filmlover Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 I think Turning Red would've been stronger competition for Pinocchio had it gone to theaters like it was supposed to but alas. I don't see them passing over GDT. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay and fight. Or leave. In 2010, the women of an isolated religious community grapple with reconciling a brutal reality with their faith.

Spider-Verse just kind of came out at the perfect time and was kind of undeniable.

Nah, if they wanted ratings, they'd have nominated Cruise and Cameron...now, there's still no incentive to watch b/c those stars are not gonna be big in the ceremony and you know their best pic nominations were just to get you to watch (and they won't win)...

filmlover Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 For me the most interesting race is now Best Actor which is likely Butler vs. Farrell since The Whale missed Picture. I think whoever wins SAG wins the Oscar. Next year's Actor race already feels like a foregone conclusion since the first images of BCoop in Maestro are serving DDL in Lincoln "congrats a year in advance" vibes.
