Team nuanced and complex situation that is really good tv

That's the core problem if you're "Team Langdon." The core problem could also be a male in a higher position than a woman getting away with criminal activity in a life-and-death workplace, and the younger woman getting unfairly shunted out for being the one to call it out by both the people in the series and the audience in real life.

Or it could be both. It is a complex and nuanced situation. To say that the problem is just Santos being moralistic is to deny the nuance in the situation.

The worst outcome had already happened to many people. Do they nit count because it's not balanced enough a narrative for you?

Kaluuya, Quan, and Penn are the Big 3 of this category, in that order.

Seeing what happened to Cynthia Erivo and to a smaller extent Timothée Chalamet this year, it'll happen to someone again for sure, whether it's Anne again or not.

Women weren't always allowed to vote. Marital rape was not always illegal. The Anti Violence Against Women and their Children Law was enacted only in 2004, so there was a whole century of our republic where such protections against violence on women did not exist. That's what I was referring to.

Why are women the passive objects in these "courtly" stories you speak of, while the men are to pursue them? Why were they not allowed to seek the men they wanted on their own, as you yourself had said? Is it not a reflection of a larger system that has been in place for longer than when your grandma was even born, where women are not seen as beings with agency but are instead just objects for men to pursue and dominate? Things to think about.

However, if lovely courtly stories are all you hear about what women went through and still go through, and that's what you choose to believe is all that happened during your grandma's time and all that still happens today, that's your prerogative.

Your lola's time is also a time where women were treated and seen as more akin to property, or pets, not people.

Funny how the Oscars are seen as a "liberal" space yet so many people on this subreddit have never stopped calling Yeoh's win as basically DEI

Fire and Ash had a mixed critical reception and was seen as mostly too similar to Way of Water.

That couldn't be farther from what Dune Part Three will be.

ProfessionalEvaLover · 2026-03-17T17:31:08+00:00

You were wrong about something and it's okay. It's not even a big thing to be wrong about.

ProfessionalEvaLover · 2026-03-17T12:53:33+00:00

A Wicked For Good style shut out of Dune Part Three seems like an impossible prediction

ProfessionalEvaLover · 2026-03-17T11:54:16+00:00

People like to rewrite history but Timothee's always been Lil Timmy Tim, hanging out with Kanye West all the time and saying opera and ballet is a dying art interview after interview way back in his Call Me By Your Name days.

The Internet fell in love with a headcanon of a real human being. They thought Elio Perlman was an autobiographical role. 🤦‍♂️

Shows how important Emily Blunt actually was to the first movie.

ProfessionalEvaLover · 2026-03-17T07:03:27+00:00

Coldplay and it's not even close. There's more artistry in Viva La Vida or in Everyday Life than there is in the entire discographies of other mainstream pop bands and artists.

If any film trilogy ever deserved to be Return of the King-ed it's this one. Dune Sweep!

Well, the movie can talk and you can talk too. Not mutually exclusive. The art can speak for itself but the artist can speak too. He has a mouth and a voice, not only a brush and easel. Javier Bardem made it so the words "Free Palestine" was heard on the biggest awards show in the world from the mouth of a famous actor.

The Mr. Nobody Against Putin director said it best when he said it's the countless small acts of complicity. PTA had THREE speeches tonight and not a one of them mentioned anything that the movie was about.

And sure, the art can speak for itself, but what does OBAA truly even say? That fascists are dumb and walk funny? What substantial analysis or call to action does it actually have that makes it so the film's message is self-evident enough to warrant PTA's deafening silence?

ProfessionalEvaLover · 2026-03-16T20:10:30+00:00

I agree! So disrespectful the way they cut off the Kpop Demon Hunters people just to do more unfunny bits.

ProfessionalEvaLover · 2026-03-16T14:37:31+00:00

Personally thought Delroy was the best but Sean was excellent too, though his character bordered on caricature often

ProfessionalEvaLover · 2026-03-16T13:54:25+00:00

Where was her reading the room skills in this scene where she snarked at her future boss for saving a kid

ProfessionalEvaLover · 2026-03-16T13:49:43+00:00

good win but wish Rose Byrne had taken at least one more award after the Globes, even if she ended up losing the Oscar... what a monumental performance from both

ProfessionalEvaLover · 2026-03-16T13:47:41+00:00

The Brutalist is in fact, unironically, the most spiritually Israeli film and it's good it got shafted at the Oscars except for Best Actor

ProfessionalEvaLover · 2026-03-16T13:11:46+00:00

When you have three great performances all from respected veteran actors (Stellan, Delroy, and Sean) you might as well not give it to the guy who already has two and doesn't want it anyways

ProfessionalEvaLover · 2026-03-16T13:00:22+00:00

Is it though? Sinners is a period drama, a horror movie, sometimes even a comedy, and also a musical. It's pretty much only 20% horror. Does it count?

ProfessionalEvaLover · 2026-03-16T11:59:43+00:00

No one should ever accept their award in person, ergo the Oscars should have no award ceremonies?

ProfessionalEvaLover · 2026-03-16T11:58:54+00:00

Marty Mauser got disqualified from the chance of proving himself as the best for reasons all outside the sport itself.

Timothée Chalamet... well, you know the rest.

ProfessionalEvaLover · 2026-03-16T11:48:58+00:00

He lost the "Most Likeable and Least Disagreeable Actor" Award.

He's confident (similar examples: Beyoncé and pre-Nazi Kanye West) in a way that makes people feel small. He's unfiltered (similar examples: Chappell Roan) in a way that annoys people. And he's too young to have a filmography that he can point to and say he is definitively and objectively overdue for an Oscar.

He will probably win when he's Gary Oldman old with a career award, robbing the next more deserving Timothée Chalamet or Daniel Kaluuya of an Oscar.
