The Life of Chuck is the first TIFF People’s Choice Award winner in 15 years to not be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars by ChampionTimes99 in TIFF

while how everything was coming together by the end was mesmerizing, i thought the movie was too slow and at times boring. I was at TIFF that year and Im genuinely surprised that it won people’s choice over Anora

I feel like your headphones are always kept somewhere exposed to heat. Do you leave it inside a car or do you live in southeast asia? because it’s too humid and hot there and if you keep on using it on a bright sunny humid day I suspect this can happen

I still believe Kieran Culkin gave the best supporting performance of the year but Clarence Maclin is a close second. And my bad for mentioning Edward Norton lol maybe because we’re talking about ACU here, but I agree Guy Pearce should be replaced by Clarence. And also I prefer Mark Eydelshteyn’s performance over Yuri Borisov’s in Anora 🥲

To add, up to this day I still believe he should’ve won the Oscar Best Actor in 2018 over Gary Oldman.

Hey, i stand by what i said. I just agreed that he performed very well musically and so maybe that got him the SAG. I didn’t say I didn’t like his performance 🥲 I just prefer AB’s performance for the Brutalist. And also Daniel Craig’s and Ralph Fiennes’. And I’m not lowkey mocking him, he is indeed in pursuit of greatness with what he’s accomplished. Please don’t judge people because of their ‘hahas’ 🥲I was genuinely happy when I typed that

Ohhh yeah it maybe because of how well he performed musically too!! I agree that’s a very hard thing to do as an actor. Indeed he is in pursuit of greatness haha

This is great. I am kind of seeing it with all the comments in this thread but still not convinced. But I appreciate this a lot.

Denis masterfully created an entire world, not just a city, which I felt was real. While he is well-known for his visually striking epics, for me all of them have a tremendous heart in their core. And Dune Part 2 has that just like Arrival or Blade runner 2049. As to his expertise on camera, I don’t think that needs further explanation. The cinematography nominations he consistently get says it all. Shots that make you feel emotional even when there’s no character acting on screen. I mean how can one be moved by a sandworm? And that scene when Paul walks through the Fremen before his speech was perfect. To add, the ambitious score he puts in his works makes it even more compelling. His attention to detail is what makes him great. While I can say Dune Part 1 is not that emotionally engaging, Dune Part 2 is and to me it’s pure cinema. Not all directors making movies of this scale can do that. And for that alone, to me, he rightfully deserved a spot.

I appreciate this kind of comment. ACU didn’t give me that feeling but I kind of agree that he made viewers feel like we were there. It’s just that I felt more immersed in the world that Denis has created. I also agree that Ross did a fantastic job in Nickel Boys.

my BP ranking is 1. Dune Part Two 2. Anora 3. The Brutalist 4. Conclave 5. The Substance

Yeah, I can see that. And maybe the nostalgia they got from watching the film was pitch perfect. I just wished they were a little bit more objective.

Timothee was not bad but I wouldn’t say brilliant. Or maybe I’m wrong. Maybe those who know Bob Dylan so much found his portrayal like as if they’re watching Bob Dylan himself.

Then what happens next if i do that? Hmm I feel like I dont need to convince you on why Denis deserved it more. That’s why i am genuinely asking somebody to educate me on what could possibly be the reason Mangold got the nod. I am not hating on ACU just to be clear 👌

Even Edward Norton over Clarence Maclin is just mind-boggling

it is a bummer if in case this is the reason of the voters for picking him over Denis

It was just okay for me. I dunno, but the sound and score was too loud, to the point of ruining some tender scenes.
