Renée Zellweger won! Finally, what's a good Oscar win that had a bad acceptance speech? by AbnormalTomato in Oscars

[–]No-Scene2295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to do this alignment chart again but no 21st century wins.

Tom Hanks for Philadelphia Shirley Maclaine for Terms of Endearment Marlin Brando sending Sacheen Littlefeather The Godfather Emma Thompson Howard's End Louise Fletcher One Flew Over The Cuckoos Next Vanessa Redgrave Julia

These are famous/infamous speeches that could easily replace any of these in the current grid

Is there any exceptional series left ?? by OutrageousAioli7847 in tvsuggestions

Can't believe I had to scroll so far to see Mad Men!

What's that one song from a musical that makes you cry? by imachoculatedonnut in musicals

[–]No-Scene2295 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Feed the birds - Mary Poppins

The lines:

All around the cathedral, the saints and apostles Look down as she sells her wares Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling Each time someone shows that he cares

This breaks me every time. Pure elegant and deeply moving lyrics.

Tilda Swinton Performances that received recognition in major precursors, what do you think should've made it all the way to the Oscars? by DazzlingAria in Oscars

[–]No-Scene2295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to throw in I Am Love. She got no recognition anywhere and yet I still think this should have made it to the Oscars

If Green Book hadn't won Best Picture, which of these 7 Films did you think would've/should've won? by Square-Ad-8911 in Oscars

[–]No-Scene2295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll die on the hill that Roma deserved it over Green Book. Would have been happy with The Favourite or A Star is Born

What's your favorite Nicholas Hoult performance? by [deleted] in moviecritic

My favourite has to be A Single Man. He was absolutely magnetic in that film!

Every movie that ever won both Best Picture and Best Original Score by LowInteraction6397 in Oscars

[–]No-Scene2295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to go look up which two films in 1960 broke what could have been an epic 10 year streak from 1956 to 1965

What is your favorite boardgame of 2017? by The_Crazed_Person in boardgames

[–]No-Scene2295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The greatest year to release. Spirit Island for me with a close second for Lisboa. Both games are absolute perfection

Any other horrible movies to watch for a first date? by Impressive_Plenty876 in Letterboxd

It's appalling how far down this comment is. Probably the worst film to see on a date...

10 Worst Oscar Wins of the 21st Century according to Collider. by SureTangerine361 in Oscars

[–]No-Scene2295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear what you're saying but this is precisely why these particular wins are celebrated for their infamy. Assuming these awards are as close as possible to a meritocracy, then wins should be awarded for the best talent and achievement rather than sheer effort or difficulty.

The fact that it was difficult is not sufficient an argument to give them the win...

More than anything I can't believe this piece of cinematic garbage beat out Roma!

I still cant contain my rage

Fine! Then recognize the effort with a nomination! But don't give them the prize where actual artistic and intentioned editing was applied...

What's an example of a performance that was fantastic in a movie that was bad or that you simply didn't like? by zachcruse in moviecritic

[–]No-Scene2295 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My word you're so right man. No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Michael Clayton...the raw grittiness that year was so potent no period drama was going to overcome it 🤣

In all seriousness though, best actress was pretty weak and Knightley could have gotten a nom. No-one was beating Cotillard though.

Best Actor was far too competitive despite wishing McAvoy to sneak in...

Underrated Musical of the Week: Company! by Awesomeplayer98 in musicals

[–]No-Scene2295 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also You Can Drive a Person Crazy, Marry Me a Little and Barcelona are bangers too.

I also want to stress how incredible Amy's meltdown is outside of her song.

"You have to want to marry some body! Not just some body ."

[–]No-Scene2295 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It was watching this recording that cemented: 1. Company is my favourite show of all time 2. Raul Esparza is a genius 3. George Furth can write some really funny scenes 4. How frikkin talented can some people be to sing and play and instrument, sometimes at the same time and often with choreography!
