The Conversation over both of them. my fav coppola.

Amazing year. I just rewatched The French Connection the other day speaking of Hackman, and what a weird fucking Best Picture winner. Terrific film, but it's just a fucking action movie except with paradigm shaking levels of directing and grit.

16 years as a Nolan fan. This is the moment I have been waiting for!!! It's a great year to be a Nolan fan!

I don't know why people are arguing about a potential "Gladstone controversy" through the eyes of people like us. The general audience, the same audience who didn't know what Everything Everywhere All At Once was until the Oscars, will be very shocked when they watch Poor Things.

Poor Things doesn't even have a 4k release. Wonder if they double dip and release it on 4k later?

Maybe BCoop will do Broadway again since he's also already a Tony nominee (for the 2014 revival of The Elephant Man). Or a miniseries since he doesn't even have an Emmy nom yet. Unless he's just destined to never check off a single box of winning the Triple Crown of Acting.

Hackman the best to ever do it even in the dumb bullshit he obviously doesn't give a shit about. I randomly put on Runaway Jury a couple months ago total nonsense but he's locked in!

He's a beast. Insane how amazing all the 1970s lineups are and how shitty all the 1980s lineups are. Reagan and Thatcher era the pits.

Damn Stone and Billie with two academy awards.  Both are going to be some of the most decorated females in their fields by the time they hang it up.

18/23 in the end. Mostly fun surprises but also god damn...

[keysersoze123]

This has to be the most predictable Oscars in really long time. Not a surprise at any major awards. Congrats to Nolan and entire Oppenheimer cast/crew for winning so many major awards. 

What is up with Al Pacino !!!

Still the Godfather Part 2 for me. Chinatown great also.  I like The Conversation but have never loved it.

Didn't Enemy of the State use stills from The Conversation for the flashbacks for Hackman's character?

[filmlover]

I'm excited to see what the winners do next. RDJ has his miniseries coming out next month and Murphy/Stone have their own interesting-sounding projects in the pipeline but DJR has potential to turn her Oscar breakout into stardom ala Octavia Spencer. Hope the offers for her are good.

I remember the first time i watched The Conversation I didn't have a big reaction to it but I rewatched it like four years ago and it kinda blew me away i dunno what changed. it's a neat little conspiracy thriller but it's also so haunted and sad. 

 

Also i remember thinking who is the forty year old actor who could play that role today? all the guys i could think of who would be good fits are like twenty years older than Hackman was there like Giamatti or someone. Today it'd be Gyllenhaal or Gosling uglying themselves or whatever.

The girlfriend probably has to change both their diapers. LOL I kid.  Pacino is a legend.

Congrats to Oppenheimer but why Al Pacino has to make the announcement so awkward? It looked like the room including music take few second to react to the announcement.
