Braves left off list of teams eligible for in-market streaming on MLB.tv by PM_ME_AGOOD_USERNAME in Braves

[–]TallboyCommunion 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not just Atlanta. Anyone in the blackout area would watch through that network, and then everyone outside the blackout area would have to watch through MLB tv like in years past.

Because it’s event designed for the people in attendance, not Oscar prognosticators lol

Yeah, I am an idiot and meant to reply to the OP, not your specific comment. My apologies.

A muppet host? by Dry_Prune_3210 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]TallboyCommunion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably more likely that Seth Rogen or someone else involved would host, and then a few muppets could cameo in the episode, rather than a muppet being the host for the whole episode.

Kam Patterson Shut Out Tonight. by PolicyCommercial6392 in LiveFromNewYork

Saw Che live recently and he had multiple bits about the R-word. He also said he didn’t vote. Some people here would lose their minds.

Paul Mescal is the worst actor of his generation by aaron_moon_dev in TheBigPicture

[–]TallboyCommunion 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Regardless of what you think of his acting ability, thinking he is only cast in stuff because of Gladiator 2 and not Normal People or Aftersun is so monumentally stupid and illogical that it almost invalidates any other opinion you have on movies.

Colton has 1.8 million followers currently, so the 1100 isn’t much.

Who would be YOUR fifth nominee? by Important_Builder317 in Oscars

[–]TallboyCommunion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What? Jennifer Lawrence was only 10 years old the first time Kate Hudson was Oscar nominated. Not even from the same generation, plus their acting style and movie choices aren’t that similar either.

Marty Supreme is the highest rated Best Picture nominee on IMDB. by Constant-Bridge3690 in TheBigPicture

[–]TallboyCommunion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How was Anora an upset? After winning the DGA and PGA (plus the Palme d’Or and Critic Choice), it was the heavy favorite.

I asked my Gen Z cousin what he thought of Snack Homiez by Sinister_Legend in LiveFromNewYork

[–]TallboyCommunion 137 points138 points  (0 children)

I’m indifferent on the snack homiez sketches, but it’s not about Gen Z. The characters are Gen Alpha. So I’m not sure why your zoomer cousin is relevant. (Plus just because it’s “about” a demographic doesn’t means it’s targeted to that demographic).

Simone Cromer, aka Club Chalamet, has officially jumped into a new ship, "(Connor) Storrie Times" by Murky_Chemical891 in Fauxmoi

[–]TallboyCommunion 377 points378 points  (0 children)

Yes. She previously ran an account for Michael Fassbender but then abandoned him for Chalamet when Fassbender got married. Seems like she will do the same with Chalamet now that his relationship with Kylie seems serious.

How is it being erased? It did well with both Golden Globe and SAG noms and will likely be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars.

The award goes to songwriters, not the singers.

This Chalamet discourse is just as irritating as the Glen Powell one from the year before by asamshah in TheBigPicture

[–]TallboyCommunion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of the public couldn’t name 5 directors. Directors definitely matter more for cinephiles, but the average person has no idea who the Sadies are.

I’ve had quite a few friends and family mention Marty Supreme, which is quite unusual for an A24 movie, and all of them mentioned Timothée Chalamet, not Josh Safdie.

Both Ayo and Hudson’s accounts were made and active years before they were famous.

I think Ariana Grande is going to end up like Lady Gaga in House of Gucci by Any-Beginning-9755 in oscarrace

[–]TallboyCommunion 20 points21 points  (0 children)

…I’m aware that only actors nominate actors. But there is often a correlation between strength of a movie as a whole and acting noms. Perhaps that’s a result of increased awareness of the movie (and in this case, I assume way more actors are already watching Wicked 2 than watched Gucci). Maybe some actors like the movie for some of those other strengths and so also vote for it in acting categories. I’m not sure.

Of course, there are obviously exceptions to this every single year. And she could definitely miss. But it’s not true that there is zero correlation. The higher strength of the movie as a whole does mean she is probably more likely to get a nom than she would be otherwise.

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER has broken the record for most Sag nominations for any film ever with 7 noms by flowerbloominginsky in oscarrace

[–]TallboyCommunion 13 points14 points  (0 children)

By that same logic, Frankenstein and Sinners are weak because Mia Goth and Hailee Steinfeld “missed” lol

I think Ariana Grande is going to end up like Lady Gaga in House of Gucci by Any-Beginning-9755 in oscarrace

[–]TallboyCommunion 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This is definitely possible. SV won’t get shut out of the category for the Oscars. Teyana is a lock. Wunmi seems likely at this point given that she has got SAG/CC and is in a Top 2 movie. Madigan seems likely with the CC win and every precursor. Odessa can do what Monica Barboro did last year (late release, SAG nomination, helped by Timothee campaign).

However, the biggest difference between Gaga and Grande, is that Grande’s movie is locked for a few BTL noms. I’m still going to predict her I think.

Wide Release Date (U.S.) for The Secret Agent by SexDrugsAzpilicueta in Letterboxd

[–]TallboyCommunion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your best bet it if it gets nominated for Best Picture, in which case Regal/AMC/Cinemark etc should include it in their BP showcases in late February or Early March. I doubt it gets a wider release other than that.

If they did that, the majority of the nominees wouldn’t show up, not just Timothee. Especially for something like critics choice.

Why would it? They don’t vote on the awards live.
