Oscars

by **DWags** 12/03/23, 08:32 pm

My wife and I actually watched five or six of these movies this year. Which is really surprising. I think, everything everywhere all at once will win it. However, I like top gun the best. I also think Banshees could win.

Friday night we watched The Whale. Wow, very disturbing. And I really think Brendan Fraser did phenomenal.

I don’t have a best Actress because I’ve only seen one of the five. We almost watched Tar the other night but chose the whale. So Michelle Yeoh is all I got.

Predictions?

I loved both Banshees and Everywhere... fablemens was kinda goofy (how to become a director...) a Hollywood movie for Hollywood. Top gun was fine. Not great. All quiet was a good war flick. Not sure "best picture".

Didn't see the others.

Don’t really gaf about awards shows. Have only seen Everywhere and TG:M. In my socials feed I see Hugh Grant getting roasted for being a dick in a pre-show interview. And apparently it’s not a red carpet this year. Big news out of Hollywood, I guess.

Everything everywhere has to win. Maybe i missed all the marketing, but it was not what I expected at all. It seemed to be something different. Banshee, I liked, but it took me 3 days to finish. I thought at one point it might be about ptsd or something else, but maybe I was just looking too much.

I guess it was really about the Irish Civil War.

(Regardless, You knew there was major subtext even if you didn't know what it was... I read that somewhere )

Lady GaGa is killing it as far as the song goes.

Everything Everywhere All at One won Best Picture

Tom Cruise' Top Gun came up short ....just like Tom Cruise.

I was correct in the Best Pic, Best Actor and Actress. I've never been correct before, If you can see The Whale, do so, he's amazing.

We know. Settle down dwags

Watching the faces of the losing, er, non-winning, actresses for best actress last night reminded me of this ...

by **Turtleneck** 13/03/23, 09:09 am

I haven’t watched since they snubbed Battlefield Earth.

by **Trapper Gus** 13/03/23, 09:15 am

Its a travesty that they ignored "Atlas Shrugged" Wink

by **Robert J Sakimano** 13/03/23, 09:19 am

I'm 100% sure that the only one of these movies I've seen would be the Top Gun movie.

Anyone see this flick? Never heard of it.

"Everything ..." is very good, for a movie with no F18's in it. Very SciFi mixed with a very human story. The SciFi keeps the action moving pretty fast.

Make a point to watch Banshees and if you tolerate kung fu type movies, Everywhere.

Was she in the danger zone?

Wife and I saw it. I guess, like the movie.” the menu.” The ending left me a bit nonplussed.

I think she was on the acceleration ramp.

I feel the need. The need… to speed up.

by AvgMSUJoe 09/02/24, 10:34 pm

Only seen Oppenheimer and Barbie. Really want to see the holdovers and Killers because they both interest me. I’m rooting for Maestro, though, as someone I know is in the film.

Watched four except Maestro

My order

Killers A
Oppenheimer A
Holdovers B
Barbie C

by AvgMSUJoe 10/02/24, 11:18 pm

Watched 'American Fiction' also an A, i wouldn't be surprised if that won. Comedy/drama racial basis, good story most people should watch. (Like barbie)

by AvgMSUJoe 16/02/24, 10:24 pm

'Anatomy of a fall' - holy crap what a waste of time and in French too
C-

by AvgMSUJoe 08/03/24, 10:05 pm

Poor things.
B-
Weird af. Emma Stone softcore porn essentially.

by Zurn 09/03/24, 03:44 pm

Saw The Holdovers and so I will go with that one.

by **Robert J Sakimano** 09/03/24, 06:24 pm

We saw Barbie.. it was good.

I don't sit still well.

by **Floyd Robertson** 09/03/24, 07:09 pm

The only movie I saw last year was Ferrari so it should win. Technically it was January this year so maybe it doesn't count.

by **kingstonlake** 09/03/24, 07:10 pm

Killers was ok. The Native American gal was really good. She’s a lock for lead actress Oscar

Oppenheimer was meh then I watched it a second time and it was way better.

Didn’t know that was a movie. For some reason I thought it was a limited series. It has Emma Stone so I’ll watch it eventually, anyway.

Well, If you're an Emma fan, you no longer have to use your imagination.

by **DWags** 10/03/24, 10:15 am

Tried Maestro last night. Got through 31 minutes of it.

No thinks.
