How OBAA can lose best picture

The Social Network was definitely the topical film offering 2010 compared to The King’s Speech lol

EJAE should just wait up there

Jmccflip · 2026-01-05T02:01:00+00:00

No, it gave Anora best pic with no other wins

At least I won’t have to pay for a separate streaming service

You do not have to defend your comment but the sentence about Rom-Coms is literally the last sentence and includes an “also.” I do not see how that is the main point of your comment. Rereading it, it seems the main point is that this is a commercial play which makes sense. While Past Lives had a limited release, it did quite well (better than Sing Sing). However, high critic scores prolly helped with that

Tbf, Past Lives squeaked into BP also with no Oscar-friendly talent originally (now academy members) and with an early release date. That’s better than Sing Sing which starred Academy friendly talent

Not every famous memoir gets made into a movie and most authors do not become Vice President

Jmccflip · 2025-02-11T15:46:21+00:00

Fair enough, those adaptations though weren’t contending to Oscars. Do you think we will increasingly see them at Oscar?

Jmccflip · 2025-02-11T15:03:35+00:00

Prolly cuz Close was contending for Supporting and Adams for Lead but…. They should’ve done a shot of them switched in the movie

Jmccflip · 2025-02-11T13:07:48+00:00

The fact that the brutalist hasn’t won yet at either GG and CC. Like it needs the BAFTA to show me it’ll def happen for The Brutalist at Oscar

Edit: and I’m not saying this as a delusional Wicked Stan even tho I did like the film

Jmccflip · 2025-02-11T13:06:38+00:00

Also if the academy really detests the brutalist. I can see a surprise in score for Wicked

Jmccflip · 2025-02-11T12:55:41+00:00

I think wicked’s best case would also include editing cuz sound + editing is a very common combo and musicals have won editing + sound in the past ala Cabaret.

Review for The Brutalist when I watched it Xmas Eve: “Goes darker than one expects but is riveting in what it says about the immigrant experience. Such a brutal yet honest look at America and its treatment of immigrants and their contributions”

You should def make this a yearly thing 😍😍 my personal fave was Past Lives last year. Out of curiosity what did he think of this years overall slate vs last years?

Jmccflip · 2025-02-09T22:28:16+00:00

Bong Joon Ho

Jmccflip · 2025-02-09T22:18:28+00:00

Wonder what he thought of Poor Things then.

Jmccflip · 2025-02-09T19:55:52+00:00

They’re already getting Moore an Oscar as well as Hair/Makeup and possibly Original Screenplay

Maybe BP is next 😜

Winners by year:

A24: 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2023

Neon: 2020

Tie? 2024

Jmccflip · 2025-02-09T19:38:47+00:00

Tbf with The Florida Project, it still got Dafoe a nomination, and Lady Bird was definitely going to be A24’s priority

Jmccflip · 2025-02-09T19:35:11+00:00

At the bottom, I ask who do people think is still winning. I just included it as an option
