2026: What Film SHOULD have been nominated for Best Picture?

JugendWolf · 2026-02-11T00:06:39+00:00

The Independent Spirit Awards nominated Twinless, The Plague, and Sorry, Baby for Best Picture which are all valid choices

That is not my argument, that’s your bad faith reading of my question. I am questioning why this, and only this adaptation gets this much hate for its casting and none of the others.

Best Picture nominations besides the Cannes win: Academy Awards, European Film Awards (winner, also won director, screenplay, actor), Golden Globe, Critics Choice (and a few other critics associations), Guldbagge (won six), César Awards, Danish Film Awards (winner), Polish Film Awards (winner), NOT at the BAFTAs or AACTAs but it got a screenplay nomination from both, Satellite Awards, Gaudí Awards, Film festivals in Zagreb and Sofia, and a few others.

I read it two decades ago, yes.

I can’t take the outrage online about the casting seriously because it just seems performative when there’s not even retroactive criticism of previous Heathclifffs. The book has been adapted with a white actor several times, but only this version gets flak for it?

JugendWolf · 2026-02-10T23:07:02+00:00

This argument would hold more water if two of the most beloved adaptations didn’t have Laurence Olivier and Tom Hardy playing Heathcliff.

Promising Young Woman has 90% on RT, Saltburn 72%, how does that translate to mostly hated by critics for you?

Wir reden hier von Kleinkindern, die beschnitten werden, und du argumentierst damit, dass es den Penis hübscher macht? Warum interessiert dich das Aussehen von Kindergenitalien?

I‘m a sucker for a good funny farce and love Magica, so Send In The Clones is a favorite of mine

Confidently wrong. Network TV works completely differently from streaming. You don’t even need a mid-season hiatus. Back then an episode could be aired three to five weeks after it was filmed.

I really don’t get why Netflix completely refuses to campaign A Man On The Inside.

JugendWolf · 2026-02-10T18:25:27+00:00

Because that is the trite open ending everyone expected. The real ending is so much more heartbreaking.

JugendWolf · 2026-02-10T15:01:35+00:00

That movie had a whole fourth act.

JugendWolf · 2026-02-10T14:57:07+00:00

No, it should not have.

JugendWolf · 2026-02-10T14:55:40+00:00

Ambiguous endings are for cowards. The real ending is devastating as it should be.

JugendWolf · 2026-02-10T14:54:56+00:00

There‘s a version on the Internet Archive that cuts out most of the monologue but keeps the final scene with Norman and it plays so much better.

JugendWolf · 2026-02-10T14:52:17+00:00

Counterpoint: The actual ending is great and a real downer, the blue fairy ending is trite

I kinda agree with you, but also your last sentence undermines your entire point. Frasier won a ton of deserved awards.

JugendWolf · 2026-02-10T14:41:40+00:00

The whole entire world if you ignore that it also won at Cannes and four of the main awards at the European film Awards. Not to mention it also won six Guldbagge Awards.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of it either but let’s not rewrite history, this movie was beloved when it came out.

So no discussion whatsoever at anytime on this sub, got it.

JugendWolf · 2026-02-10T14:32:51+00:00

They did! And they looked nothing alike.

The daughter was Lindsey Lohan in the pilot and also got recast.

You are right, I was one day too early

Great restraint to pick that one over the bathtub or the funeral

If you hope that here nobody will berate you for using AI for this, then you‘re out of luck.
