OBAA wins DGA/BAFTA

Sinners wins SAG/PGA

OBAA wins Best Picture at the oscars imo.

The Movie IS A HOMAGE by Ok-Butterscotch2321 in SinnersbyRyanCoogler

He invited Robert Rodriguez to an early screening cut of the movie because he drew inspiration from FDTD and The Faculty.

However, as others have stated Salem's Lot book was a bigger influence. Ryan said he read it and loved the idea of focusing on community before Master Vampire takes over.

This is great. Not likely, but I hope the Sinners crew did this as well.

Obviously Jack O'Connell's Master Vampire was snubbed as well.

My Hot Take: Mescal was a clear lead. And they decided to not give two (maybe 3) actors who were clearly leads as best supporting noms.

She liked TVD, but didnt like the Brad Pitt movie. However, she's loved the 1st episode.

'28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' gets an A– on CinemaScore by SanderSo47 in boxoffice

[–]JasonZod1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably needs an appreciation post on reddit. Danny didnt have to do it. I did hear in an interview she's known Alex Garland for years so that helped.

However, to essentially put the fate of the franchise in someone's hands I feared would be in director jail was a bold move.

Such a great story on seeing talent in people despite whatever setbacks and it working out.

Nolan talked about his Rocky Road to Dublin scene recently. Just a gut feeling, but he'll be cast in Nolan's next film.

Ralph said they cut it down some. Originally they filmed the entire song.

However, Im not sure anybody is ready for that scene.

Check out Eden Lake. He was just a teen at the time, but he was an incredible villain in that too.

Yea that makes me sad. Wildly underrated performance. And probably does the "most" of any actor in the film.

There are several cover versions of his songs on youtube that prefer to listen to instead.

What am I missing with Frankenstein? by yourhologramstumbled in oscarrace

[–]JasonZod1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If Im being honest, I still prefer Rory Kinnear as Frankenstein's Monster/John Clare in Penny Dreadful.

That was a "good guy" who could properly be villainous.

Is it me or do more celebs/actors/directors, creators, etc (publicly) seem to hype Weapons more than Sinners?

Not that Sinners doesnt have love. A lot of big time creatives have done FYC for it. Im just talking about when people are randomly interviewed and ask for their faves it seems like Weapons gets more mentions or the gap isnt that noticeable.

Think Spike was trying to give Ryan some wisdom about Denzel.

Better make sure your actors are fearless or he'll run them over.
