Its rare to see an actual best movie of the year win Best Picture. EEAAO would be a worthy winner

Seen it twice it hit harder the second time and I wouldn't mind a 3rd viewing it's so so so damn good. Perfection really.

I think nominations are all but guaranteed at this point. Don't know if it'll win but it's definitely getting in. My predictions are nominations for Yeoh, Curtis and Quan and Best Picture, but I think Picture will be it's win out of all of them.

Karmond t1_ixeqi05 wrote

I know Blanchett is probably favourite against Yeoh, but who would be up against Quan, assuming he’s nominated for best supporting?

juanreviewsstuff t1_ixesgim wrote

Judd Hirsch is shockingly strong and despite the fact that he's only in one scene in The Fablemans, could end up rallying the older subsect of the actors branch who apparently aren't appreciating the film at Academy screenings so far (though it should be noted that the overall reception at these screenings seems to be enthusiastically positive). Variety currently has Hirsch pulling an upset, though most places and current betting odds have Quan winning easily.

Brendan Gleeson for Banshees of Inisherin?

Karmond t1_ixezalp wrote

I haven’t seen it, but reading about it seems like it’s a dual lead film, no? (Farrell & Gleeson)

stracki t1_ixf1bd7 wrote

According to their "for your consideration" ads, Gleeson is supporting and Farrell lead.

_snif t1_ixf3kxv wrote

I'd love to have seen Barry Keoghan get a nod for supporting, he was fantastic too

3

bfsfan101 t1_ixjsbeo wrote

Nah, it's definitely weighted much more towards Farrell. 90% of the film is from his perspective and we very rarely see Gleeson alone without him.

HareWarriorInTheDark t1_ixgva9y wrote

It’s unlikely that it’ll win Picture without something else up right? Either Screenplay or an acting win.

I'm kinda embarrassed that when I saw her name and saw that she was starring in this kinda exploitation flick like "X" I just assumed she was a pornstar turned actress like Sasha Grey...

Check out some of her earlier work. She's great in A Cure for Wellness and the Suspiria remake

turkeygiant t1_ixg91ue wrote

Suspiria was great, horror isn't really my genre, but I gave it a try after X

You should watch Emma then. She's got a supporting turn in that.

Oscar? No way, but it was a quality genre performance

mikeyfreshh t1_ixhse5s wrote

She put that movie on her back and ran with it, gave the best monologue of the year, and acted her ass off during the closing credits. The only reason it's not being considered for the Oscar is because of the genre

fruitporridge t1_ixdig9w wrote

No gender categories suck.

Instead of 4 winners in each acting category, we get only 2. How does this help anybody? this is not inclusivity, this is just dumb

76

Celestin_Sky t1_ixdxlal wrote

The problem with acting is the number of potential winners. You have usually one director, one screenwriter, one composer and others for a movie and two or more leads and dozens of support making it a lot harder to get an award.

But dividing it based on whatever someone is female or male doesn't feel right. Having two award for leads and two for support with no distinction doesn't work. There is probably simply no good solution. Personally I would simply leave it as it was saying it's tradition and it's allows to double the awards instead of removing it.

There was nothing wrong with it in the first place

SirDrexl t1_ixe8ck0 wrote

Wait, are they only giving out one award for the 10 nominees? I thought they would take the top 2.

krectus t1_ixerq8n wrote

No you don’t get a 2nd best actor award. And they would certainly want to avoid the chaos of 2 men potentially winning.

Mrcollaborator t1_ixe5ki9 wrote

We just need to have a level playing field. If you want more winners you can just give out more prizes. It’s a bs. argument

Gender is a bullshit construct with no actual use.

TedDanson1986 t1_ixel0sk wrote

the GG separate drama from comedy so both winners get a fair chance on the night

10

HerbEaversmellz t1_ixehk9j wrote

Adding a featured actress/actor category makes sense for me. Someone who is only featured in a few scenes.

The supporting acting category is often hacked by having performances that are basically 2nd leads (Christoph Waltz in Django Unchained, Catherine Zeta-Jones in Chicago ect) which truly is unfair to compete against a scene-stealing featured performance.

lookatmecats t1_ixg902b wrote

Separating them by gender is kind of stupid though, it's the same job. If they want more awards they can have more winners

Jicama_Stunning t1_ixdxjv5 wrote

The one I’m really hoping for is Ke Huy Quan getting an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Man was absolutely unbelievable, the best performance in a movie already packed with incredible performances, and I can completely see him losing to Tom Hanks’ shitty Elvis performance or something

51

Jerrymoviefan3 t1_ixftd2v wrote

Both GoldDerby and Variety predict that Quan will win. Hanks is 11th on one and 24th on the other so he is unlikely to be nominated and has absolutely no chance to win. The winner will definitely be either Quan or Gleeson.

Tom Hanks isn’t getting in for Elvis

Jicama_Stunning t1_ixeyg4j wrote

I’m saying that he shouldn’t, but it’s the Oscars. Rita Wilson doesn’t ride Tom Hanks’ dick as hard as the Oscars.

skychasing t1_ixfh1oq wrote

The Oscar’s have actually not really recognized Tom in like the last 20 years. He ‘finally’ got recognized for his portrayal of Mr Rogers but that was after at least 3-4 roles he was in the conversation for in the last ten years and didn’t get in for.

7

nayapapaya t1_ixf68h7 wrote

He didn't get in for News of the World which was more well received (in terms of his performance) than Elvis. Supporting Actor is not weak this year. It's unlikely he will get in.

Eyebronx t1_ixduqxp wrote

Having watched both TAR and EEAAO, I can say Michelle Yeoh gave the best performanceof the year, hands down, in the lead actress category. As much as I love Cate Blanchett in TAR, I don’t think she is astronomically better than her competition and Yeoh’s performance resonated with me in a way that Blanchett’s never did. I’d be so pumped if Yeoh won the Oscar.

31

thewidowgorey t1_ixdxsve wrote

I loved Tár, but Cate Blanchett’s won the Oscar twice already and these shows are all about the game, so Michelle better win. She was incredible as Evelyn. EEAAO still makes me cry and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it.

I saw this when it was out at the cinemas. Everyone in the room was having a blast all the way through. Every comment I’ve seen that is like yours was from people who watched it at home. It’s not the same experience.

Listen-bitch t1_ixfkw4u wrote

I watched it in theatres too. It just didn't hit me at all. It got too goofy and I couldn't take the movie seriously. But then I also don't like comedies, and this movie delved too deep into the comedy genre for my taste.

dontyoutellmetosmile t1_ixhdu01 wrote

I watched it at home, just a couple weeks ago. I was fucking floored. All the hype I’d heard about it didn’t even come close to how great it was. I texted my friend immediately after it was over, still in tears, and he was like “yep. Same.” I need to watch it again.

cheesemagnifier t1_ixfxhvt wrote

It’s a movie that really is stunning on the big screen. I also think it’s important to watch it without taking a break. The sequences of images and verse jumping did something chemically to my mind to make my brain feel very altered, in a way that left me feeling profoundly changed for better. If you’re watching it in tv and getting up to get a drink and go pee and let the dog in you break up the stream of consciousness and you don’t get to that place.

I think it's a great 90-100 minute film that was kind of exhausting at over 2 hours. If you showed me any random sequence, I'd love it, but sitting through it at the cinema, I found it just too much.

I saw crazy hype from everywhere about this movie. Literally everyone was telling me how amazing it was… I finally watched it last night, and I think it was just okay. I didn’t hate it. It was entertaining, but almost a bit too weird.

It felt like a direct spoof of Inception, and The Matrix combined.

Sorry if you’re one of the many who thinks it’s the best movie ever made, I just strongly disagree. Again don’t get me wrong I enjoyed watching it. I found many scenes very funny, then others felt like they were trying too hard. Butt plugs come to mind lol.

I thought it was a solid 6/10. Too goofy, too random and the main plot was too lame. It was trying too hard for me to care about the daughter who I absolutely did not care for.
