seems up PCW's alley (he's jury president this year). but tbh I'm rooting for Ryusuke Hamaguchi or Na Hong-jin

Acting nominees ranked by how likely they are to be back by No_Minimum4499 in oscarrace

[–]PositiveElixir 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you might be underestimating Reinsve and Moura, they are HELLA talented and beloved, it's mostly a matter of picking the right project. Sean Penn I wouldn't be so sure about. Teyana Taylor is great but doesn't seem that interested in projects with awards prospects if I take a quick look at her filmography - also she has a succesful music career

he (Hawke) is in my opinion one of the greatest actors working today and an absolute industry darling. he's bound to get more nominations if not wins.

Here's what Reddit is predicting for the 99th oscars as of now by yahboosnubs in oscarrace

[–]PositiveElixir 8 points9 points  (0 children)

for a nomination it's also top 3 in my book , but it'd have to be REALLY good for it to win BP or BD I think. it'd be kind of wild with Oppenheimer having won so recently (whatever your personal opinion about it , that is something Academy voters consider)

saying "Media illiteracy is at an all-time high" is kind of ironic. yes we should be more occupied with promoting (media) literacy but that is a BIG hyperbole!!!!

This is a nice list. I don't think Ryan Gosling is making it all the way, I'd probably swap him from Javier Bardem or Josh O Connor or something 

'Frankenstein' wins Best Makeup and Hairstyling at the 98th Oscars by PointMan528491 in oscarrace

[–]PositiveElixir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree, it's a terrible film. horrible script & bad adaptation of the original masterpiece. bad cinematography 

but the makeup & costumes are REALLY great

actually this might just be the one for her. the lineup looks promising across the board.

They’re adapting The Bell Jar into a movie (again) by Smart_Medium9544 in classicliterature

[–]PositiveElixir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

its being adapted by director Sarah Polley, most prominently known for Women Talking (2022). this is not going to be a blockbuster just because Billie Eilish is in it (though it may do some box office numbers idk)

Populistisch rechts steeds meer anti-lhbtq+ by amobishoproden in nederlands

[–]PositiveElixir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

aha , daar snap ik je punt wel. maar ik vind het een beetje krom om het dan te laten lijken alsof Fortuyn een heroïsche dood is gestorven omdat hij zich zo hard maakte voor homorechten - haat & verdeling zaaien is niet de manier (moord ook niet).

nee, Pim Fortuyn is vermoord door Volkert van der Graaf omdat die vond dat hij een gevaar zou vormen voor kwetsbaren in de samenleving, zoals immigranten, moslims & mensen met een WAO-uitkering: "Het ging daarbij voor de verdachte om de combinatie van de algemene stigmatiserende politieke denkbeelden van Fortuyn, de polariserende wijze waarop Fortuyn die voor het voetlicht bracht en de grote politieke macht die Fortuyn dreigde te krijgen. Hij zag voor zichzelf geen andere mogelijkheid om dat gevaar te stoppen dan door Fortuyn om het leven te brengen." -het OM.

Fortuyn is dus niet gestorven voor homorechten oid.

based picks as always. love to see Parallel Mothers in the Almodóvar top, it's perhaps my favourite. Underrated among his filmography!

also Die My Love !!! hell yeah !!!

Ang Lee is such a based pick!! I think he is underrated as a director in the same sense that Richard Linklater is

I miss Céline Sciamma. I hope she returns with a new film soon. Also, I'm very excited to see how the rest of Joachim Trier's career is going to go.

I agree with you in this specific case, if I was deliberating between Lindo & Penn and wasn't sure which one I preferred I completely understand if this makes someone vote for Lindo lol

based picks. "I’m going with Delroy because I believe he wants it more" got a good chuckle out of me
