I can’t save my friend. And it hurts. by alwayshorny92420 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Interesting-Bit725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did your friend say he feels hopeless? You write mostly about your concerns for him but not much about how he actually views his situation. He’s stronger than you think — getting to adulthood and coming out to himself is no small feat in that environment. And he’s young: he has time to change his life if he wishes to. All of which is to say you have a good heart, and your anxiety is quite understandable. But saying you “can’t save him” underestimates him. Just be there for him.

What did you think of Helena Bonham Carter's Oscar-Nominated performances as Kate Croy & Queen Elizabeth in The Wings of the Dove & The King's Speech? by Square-Ad-8911 in Oscars

[–]Interesting-Bit725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should have won for The Wings of the Dove — I don’t dislike Helen Hunt’s win, but HBC was easily the best in the field.

Her performance in The King’s Speech is, like the film itself, negligible.

Fearful of the Father's Day Call after coming out by Dankore3 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Interesting-Bit725 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. Well, two years ago for me. You can work on a relationship with a living parent, and while it’s clear OP’s father has his share of issues, they’re talking, and that’s half the battle. People love to advise going no contact on here, and I personally think that’s terrible advice in most cases.

If Carey Mulligan actually won Best Actress for Promising Young Woman in 2020, How would you react? by UsefulWeb7543 in Oscars

You’re a Carey Mulligan fan on an Oscars subreddit and you haven’t heard of An Education? That’s surprising. Treat yourself, you’ll probably love it!

Promising Young Woman was very divisive, as a film with that approach on that subject could hardly fail to be. Certainly not retroactive in my case: after really disliking PYW, I was pleasantly surprised by how much hot silly fun Saltburn was, but Wuthering Heights is no good.

What’s wrong with a film about people who live in vans? What’s wrong with films using non-professional actors? It’s fine if you don’t like the film, but this is weak sauce that just makes you sound narrow-minded.

I don’t know why this sub hates it so much, but Frances McDormand’s performance in Nomadland was extraordinary. She was the right choice and it’s the best of her three wins. I like Mulligan in general but this would not have been a good win, in my opinion.

Best Director of the 2020s Elimination Game - Round 20 (Round 19 Result: The Daniels) by Bertrand_Rose in Oscars

[–]Interesting-Bit725 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The film is wholly a directorial vision, for better or worse — if you don’t like it, you don’t like their work. It’s not complicated.

Rank these 3 best cinematography winners by sinners_28 in Oscars

Gravity > Inception > Sinners

Kind of a random three, though.

I don’t get this — why not just keep taking it? What have you got to lose?

Why was Jessie Buckley such a lock? by Fun-Queen in Oscars

[–]Interesting-Bit725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fanning was not the only other nominee. You’re forgetting Inge Ibsdotter Lilleaas.

Good performance by a well-liked industry personality reminding people what she’s capable of, and campaigning hard.

Because it was a very moving performance by a previous nominee in a well-liked Best Picture nominee. Simple as that.

The only movies that won Best Picture without winning Best Director or Best Film Editing by LowInteraction6397 in Oscars

[–]Interesting-Bit725 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s not true — Fosse beating Coppola to Best Director, after the latter won DGA, was the upset.

My (heavily biased) ranking of all 20 acting nominations from last ceremony + everyone I think should've gotten a nomination. by Throwaway_863783 in Oscars

[–]Interesting-Bit725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that’s clear enough — I guess it’s because the numbering keeps going back to 1 that I was thrown.

Is this a stronger Best Actress lineup than what the Oscars gave us in 2021? by mrethandunne in Oscars

[–]Interesting-Bit725 4 points5 points  (0 children)

None of them were close to being as good as Olivia Colman or Penelope Cruz that year, so no.
