Oscars 2018

Three Billboards is gonna sweep isn't it, although i think Greta is an outside shout for Director.

This can't have hurt

Watched Pan's Labyrinth with my wife and older daughter last night. They both loved it, and boy is that movie better than Shape of Water. (And yeah, Del Toro really likes stabbing and shooting people in the face). As my daughter (who has not seen SoW) astutely observed, the horrific sadistic violence in Pan's at least makes thematic sense because its perpetrated by horrific sadistic capital F fascists in the midst of fascist Spain, not gratuitously in some government facility in '50s Baltimore or wherever by an inexplicable psychopath.

(Had to look it up, and Pan's lost best foreign film to The Lives of Others, which is fair enough. But had it been nominated for Best Picture, as it might of, say, this year, it sure would have beat the fucking Departed.)

Over dinner last night my wife, who had gone running that morning and talked Oscars with her pals, stated "Boy, no one likes Three Billboards, do they?" She has been tasked with bringing a dish to an Oscar theme party. She is bringing Three Cheeseboards.

Lives of Others is among the most awful of foreign film winners. Sentimental hogwash.

Why, after all these decades, are you confusing Oscar winners with quality?

why, after all these decades, are you so cranky this morning?

Del Toro's Spanish language films are his best, IMO. Must be the excellent catering.

Why, after all these decades, are you confusing Oscar winners with quality?

Because after all these decades their imprimatur can still sometimes draw someone out to see something that is not a superhero film?

I've only just realised that Michael Shannon wasn't nominated for The Shape of Water. I loved him in that more than I've loved anything he's done for ages. I guess the way Del Toro shoots him is a big part of that.

omg this is amazing

would pay for Rockwell-Harrelson slashfic

I can't wait to find out who wins the jetski

Got one! Thanks, y'all. P. S. Hi!

Haven't seen 3B (and don't wanna), but Rockwell's speech just reminded me of how much I liked him in The Way Way Back.

Woody would be so great in bed, i think.

Eva with it!

fuck me, Eva Marie Saint is 93!

can someone cast her in a movie plz

No rooting interest this year, so I'll duck in and out. But I'm glad I caught "Fred" Hitchcock.

she looks so fantastic

hey this 'montage' before the acting awards is a neat idea

I wondered if "Fred" was a flub, or if that is what some people called him.

I'm glad their doing the montages, too. I'm a sucker for those things.

"she looks like Eva Marie Saint, in On the Waterfront"

(xpost) I took it as what some people who were close enough to him actually called him--partly as a joke, maybe.

So, did Moonlight win or what?

jeez that's some intense looking docs

Ugh -- Agnes Varda loses.

so sad. imagine Agnes's acceptance speech

Is she even there?

Yes, saw her in a red-carpet pic with a very colorful outfit.

Mary Blige is up for an acting award? I've got to get out of the house more.

holy shit i didn't know Raphael Saadiq was up for a nom. or a third of one anyway.

not much of a tune mind..

nope

I've got to get out of the house more.

you have to get in the house more. it's a netflick.

maybe ill start watching this now

id rather watch a movie but i have money riding on this and feel compelled to watch sporadically thru whenever warren & faye do best picture at like 1am

was that just a slam poetry ad for twitter

I'd be ok with Raphael Saadiq winning on Oscar.

I'm convinced the Russian doc won just so Kimmel could make that joke about Putin.

This montage is awful

Is this just a montage of random movies?

It wouldn't be the Oscars without one.

Fuck it im gonna watch a move or listen to cum town or something
ill come back for best pic
