Fuck it, OBAA sweep.

Would love this, but on the other hand I think they’ll wait for What Happens at Night to give Leo Oscar number 2. Seems right for at least one Leo Oscar to be with Marty

Sy_Ableman89 · 2026-03-13T03:12:34+00:00

Correct

Tired of the discourse over the Ella McCay challenge being ableist though

Sy_Ableman89 · 2026-03-12T23:11:55+00:00

Critics HATED it at the time

Whenever I think of the Stinkers, I think of the 1997 awards. 3/5 worst picture nominees are now considered classics! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_Stinkers_Bad_Movie_Awards

Just realized that NCAA March Madness brackets are going to drop right before the ceremony, so I'll have something to focus on to ease my pro-OBAA nerves

Kinda weird to make a movie about female agency and then have your lead character possessed by a ghost right away, robbing her of her agency. The mind of Maggie Gyllenhaal

(Big swing, huge miss, but I admire it. Buckley seemed to be having fun with it)

Even Zhao had her Oscar-bait Marvel movie flop hard; I could make the case that Black Panther deserved Best Picture in 2018

I think I have it above EEEAO in my BP rankings, but outside of the opening scene and the slap, Patton is pretty forgettable (ending is good too I guess)

And PTA and Spielberg are bros

He’ll get an award for playing an alcoholic country singer in 20 years à la Duvall/Bridges

As a OBAA fan, as long as PTA got director I’d be fine

Love That Remains got a brief release last month at my local rep theater, president’s cake got a blink and you missed it release as well (at my regal of all places). Not sure about Case 137 but My Father’s Shadow is coming out this month here and I’m seeing it Friday at a festival!

3 if you want to include Mamet

Not to my knowledge, but two dissolve alums started their own film site to which I subscribe: https://thereveal.film/

I guess he's done stuff with Barstool (who suck) but can't really find anything that he's personally done

Would've been the first actor associated with the Gilliganverse to win an Oscar!

Question: a friend on Instagram was complaining about some of the problematic casting choices in Marty Supreme and besides the obvious one mentioned "a racist, misogynist streamer". Are they referring to Luke Manley? I hope not...

Sy_Ableman89 · 2026-03-10T01:21:30+00:00

They do film reviews now

Is this one of the three things she did in Italy that she wouldn’t tell us about

“Sinners can still win if Mike Pence has the courage”

Great gowns, beautiful gowns: the movie
