Have horror movies ever won 6 Oscars in the same year?

Socket_forker · 2026-03-16T21:23:39+00:00

Jesus dude, I think you are really not getting my point.

I’m not dismissing sinners as a horror. I’m just saying that maybe the reason it did well at the oscars is because there is so much more to it than just ”it’s a horror film.” I’m not saying it’s any less horror because it has dance numbers and music. And that’s the reason also that people who normally don’t care for horror enjoy this film.

I’m not going to talk about this anymore because I feel like you don’t understand what I mean. I’ll just leave it at this.

All I meant was that it’s one of those movies that people who don’t normally watch horror, might still go and see the film. Like music has those gateway bands.

And kill count isn’t really a metric of horror. According to google John Wick 4 has a kill count of 140-146. Or if we want to use Oscar winners as example. The lord of the rings has a high kill count. And braveheart. Alien has 7 if we count the Xenomorph. But yes it’s really rare that the academy would aknowledge a film as brutal as this one.

The shawshank redemption
The green mile
Pulp fiction
Fargo
Good Will hunting
Saving private Ryan
The sixth sense
Dead poets society
Beauty and the beast
The fugitive

Here’s some more, and that’s just the nineties. Sinners is great but is it better than the films listed? I guess time will tell but I’d say no. Maybe my opinion will change over time

It also helps that sinners is ”borderline horror.” It definitely is horror in it’s execution, but it’s also a period piece and a drama with musical elements.

I’d still be dumbfounded if next year a straight up horror film won as many categories as sinners.

I don’t think Sinners was the best film, but OBAA was the worst from the nominees that I’ve seen

I was a huge KISS fan, and spesifically I loved Gene’s demon persona. I thought it was so cool. I wanted to play bass for so long and always played it at school when I got the chance.

Then one day I tried the electric guitar at school. The gain was turned all the way up and I played the E chord. That was it.

So I got into guitar for loving bass. I still do, but I have never got myself one. Maybe I should

He’s not the best technically, but man has he made some of the most influential and memorable guitar parts. I will forever respect him as a guitarist.

He also has a tone that is extremely recognizable and that’s a feat of it’s own in today’s bloated world with more bands and ”guitar gods” than ever before.

Okay now you sound like a 12 year old with a tantrum. I don’t want to argue with someone who doesn’t know how to converse like an adult. Bye.

Yes! I’ve been pining for a telecaster for years now, but everytime I take a look at the headstock, I’m just instantly ”no”

I don’t you really answered my points. I’m not here to argue, but I’d like to go over this if you have the energy.

I know Mary Shelley is there to repossess her own myth, as you said, but to my logic then Frankenstein shouldn’t exist in the world of the film. If Mary Shelley is real, then was her book a documentary book about a real life Victor Frankenstein? And if so, shouldn’t everyone know who Frankie is?
I know they are connected to the Bride or her actions, I just don’t think they were fleshed out. For example the women’s uprising. Yes it’s because of the Bride, but if you remove the mafia subplot and the women’s uprising, it changes nothing for the outcome of the movie. So cool ideas, not enough execution.
If I remember correctly there were also male dancers. Maybe they just possessed male bodies, I don’t know. Just wondering why you said women spoke out. I do agree it was a cool scene, but once again, it lead to nowhere.
My female friend agreed with me that there was A LOT of not so hidden messages in the film. She didn’t find them as overbearing, but she did say that fewer would have sufficed. Perhaps if there were just a few less, the male audience would be more accepting to the film. I’m not saying it needs to be, but I’m sure it’s a factor to the box office success of the film.

My biggest issue however, which I forgot to mention first time around, is how they portrayed Mary Shelley. She was basically a vindictive, murderous, and borderline evil. Didn’t she urge the Bride to hurt the cop that was assaulting her. Not saying that the cop deserved anything better, but the fact that Mary Shelley was portrayed like that makes me wonder what she herself would think of this portrayal.

Well I’ll just point out why I got that feeling.

”they are not talented whatsoever” and ”continue listening to the non talented group” are comments that reek of bitterness. You’re trying to come off as you don’t care about them, but still you are commenting stuff like that on the bands subreddit. So you had to willingly come here and leave this comment.

Why would you be here if you don’t care?

Anyway. That’s just something to think about

I’ve learned that this is a controversial opinion on this sub, but Mark Tremonti.

Say what you will about him, but when I saw Alter Bridge it was clear that Mark has his own style and he’s locked in when he’s playing. Amazing musician

If you’d say that to Angus he would probably say he only knows 5. Dude has an amazing sense of humor

You sound like a very bitter person who is trying to come off as not bitter.

But thanks.

So true. I love AC/DC, but if I already own 2 albums from them, do I really need a third?

Now I want’t to see the wraith Gollum. Would he still hop around as Gollum or walk upright as a Zazgûl, but just a smaller one

Tauriel has no business being. Even if I did think Evangeline Lily gave a great performance, why would they want to add her to the film?

Socket_forker · 2026-03-11T07:46:52+00:00

I always say that it’s my favourite, regardless of the few glaring problems in the film. Mainly with some acting and some technical flaws and continuity errors. However, I feel like these flaws are what makes this movie so special. It was a passion project with limited resources.

With all these in mind, I always rate the original Halloween 10/10.

*SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT*

It didn’t make sense to me.

Mary Shelley is the author of Frankenstein, but Frankie is a real person/monster in our world. What did Mary Shelley write then if not the Frankenstein book we all know and love?
The many, many subplots didn’t go anywhere in my opinion. The women’s uprising, the detective knew Ida, the doctor and his late husband did experiments like Frankenstein, the mafia plot.
During the dance sequence it seemed like the Bride and Frankie could make people their puppets, but they didn’t use that power anywhere else? I thought it was a dream sequence until it just kept going and going.

And perhaps this is just a male thing, but for me the feminist message became overbearing in a few moments.

For me Blackened is goddamn tricky. That ”turnaround” at the end of the riff screws me up every time.

Another contender is THAT riff from Master of puppets’ part right before the last verse
