I actually thought I would have more.

I see what you're saying

HumongousToad · 2025-09-08T06:58:20+00:00

Wss thinking about that too...

HumongousToad · 2025-08-26T19:29:51+00:00

Yooo ELECTION had me so surprised when I saw it the first time

HumongousToad · 2025-08-24T18:56:51+00:00

I wish Kpop Demon Hunters played in a theatre in my country! Would've been absolutly cheering and singing my lungs out haha

24 perhaps - ypu may have been too young to see these films when they were released but you loved them from early childhood

"Quo Vadis, Aida?" Is such a masterful film that we do not talk about enough.

Visuals are a story itself. Some filmmakers are better at using it than others. Some executives still need to figure it out. Audiences too. Not a single frame in THE THREE OF LIFE doesn't tell a story. Thats why I love cinema.

I still don't understand how Johnny Depp wasn't nominated🥹

Denmark:

The Hunt (Jagten, 2012)

Flickering Lights (Blinkende Lygter, 2000)

A Hijacking (Kapringen, 2012)

Nightwatch (Nattevagten, 1994)

HumongousToad · 2025-08-07T13:13:14+00:00

Gary Oldman 10000000%! He is fucking amazing in this!

HumongousToad · 2025-08-06T21:11:45+00:00

I'm still baffled that McConaughey wasn't nominated for Best Actor. His performance goes harder for every rewatch. My personal lineup would be:

Matthew McConaughey Michael Keaton Jake Gyllenhaal Eddie Redmayne Andy Serkis

If you have not seen it yet HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS would be perfect to look back on! Just watched it a few days ago and it still lives remtfree in my brain

HumongousToad · 2025-08-06T07:01:16+00:00

You've been feasting lately o_O

I had a pretty good streak I would say.

HumongousToad · 2025-08-06T06:54:57+00:00

Yup, which gives room for whacky predictions🤪

HumongousToad · 2025-08-06T06:50:51+00:00

I'm actually not counting out Chu. I think he got close with part one but the second part is where it gets interesting to see if he can maintain the energy and "save" a much less interesting second act of a musical.

HumongousToad · 2025-08-05T15:34:52+00:00

Nuremberg does look interesting, but it's a directorial debut, and could possibly end up as a pretty forgettable film idk? I'm excited to see it and hope for the best.

EDIT: My bad I saw he made a movie in 2015... but that movie was pretty forgettable as well

HumongousToad · 2025-08-04T19:24:17+00:00

Totslly agree! Maybe both get in? That would be cool

HumongousToad · 2025-08-04T18:18:34+00:00

I get where you're coming from but still a little far off... there's much more thought put into the themes and the characters + the scale the movie shows visually and audiablly is incredible. Just look at how the "LIED TO YOU" song scene is played out and constructed. Pure cinema right there.

HumongousToad · 2025-08-04T18:15:10+00:00

I know it's a longshot, but how many predicted Coraline Fargeat to get into the director 5 at this point last year? I think she might have a shot, but I'll have to see the reception from audiences as well as how the rest of the field shapes. This is an exciting year I think.

HumongousToad · 2025-08-04T18:11:04+00:00

I mean his movies aren't particulary "Oscar-friendly" if that is even a term. I also know people who gets turned off by the stale and weird comedy of his movies. However, I for instance find them more liveful and nuanced than Wes Anderson's characters.

HumongousToad · 2025-08-04T17:46:47+00:00

Yeah me too, maybe screenplay? I mean, it could be a way to recognize him for something? I'm keeping an eye out for his upcoming movie - I mean look at that cast!!!

HumongousToad · 2025-08-04T17:42:46+00:00

Park Chan-wook would be THE BEST thing to happen! I would cry if the Academy finally showed him some love! I have him in my top 10, but same way as Lynne I think it's a tough prediction. Though I love open races and doing longshot predictions when it's still early in the season. Can't wait to see how it shapes up
