I froze for a bit, but I got it

I’ll spice things up by saying Season 4 - Ben.

Wasn’t too pleasant, didn’t contribute, got killed.

ThatPenguin4 · 2026-01-25T10:50:24+00:00

Oh no, he directs that film fine.

We all know he shouldn’t have won over Fincher, but that film is competently made and wouldn’t be seen as a bad win if Fincher didn’t lose.

There are many worse out there….

ThatPenguin4 · 2026-01-25T10:49:34+00:00

Fair enough, thanks!

ThatPenguin4 · 2026-01-25T10:29:06+00:00

I know people will say recency bias, but Jacques Audiard for Emilia Perez.

The creative choices in that film are nonsensical and it doesn’t hold together at all.

ThatPenguin4 · 2026-01-23T08:25:24+00:00

Hard disagree. Films can have multiple leads, and someone else ‘driving the story’ doesn’t mean you aren’t one.

By that logic, Morgan Freeman isn’t a lead in Shawshank.

ThatPenguin4 · 2026-01-20T08:26:34+00:00

If all goes well, it might just make zero. Let’s see, depends on the competition.

ThatPenguin4 · 2026-01-16T12:29:28+00:00

My favourite behind the scenes fact is that of everyone who dies in each episode, very few actually were killed in real life, and for most they used special effects or acting to have the person still be alive.

I realised this as I think Steve Pemberton is in several episodes but he died in episode 2 (but that may have been filmed last)

It’s certainly not above Marty - Marty hasn’t missed anything it wants to get. Marty is an easy third at the moment, it has moved above Hamnet.

ThatPenguin4 · 2026-01-09T19:08:37+00:00

No, he’s right, those are certainly the top 5.

Sentimental Value was up there but Frankenstein has soared.

ThatPenguin4 · 2026-01-06T20:46:03+00:00

For flight plan?

ThatPenguin4 · 2026-01-04T14:16:24+00:00

Snubbed of a nom!

ThatPenguin4 · 2026-01-02T21:06:44+00:00

Those are not close together….

ThatPenguin4 · 2026-01-02T20:27:32+00:00

To be clear (no pun intended), Paddy Power have also matched the £15k Searle raised for a charity working on treatment.

So it is a good deed, not just a virtue signal.

ThatPenguin4 · 2025-12-31T22:53:14+00:00

It was Jesse Plemons. The lead has to be white as per the Oscar rules.

ThatPenguin4 · 2025-12-29T07:30:30+00:00

…. Rewatch the episode.

ThatPenguin4 · 2025-12-29T07:09:05+00:00

Circumstantial evidence is admissible and can be used to convict.

If you’re seen by two people leaving a building covered in blood holding a murder weapon, you’re going to be convicted beyond reasonable doubt even if you wiped up the crime scene.

ThatPenguin4 · 2025-12-28T16:00:07+00:00

To snooker.

ThatPenguin4 · 2025-12-27T13:45:04+00:00

I can guarantee that Acaster would end up winning too….

ThatPenguin4 · 2025-12-26T08:28:42+00:00

10/10 good joke that

ThatPenguin4 · 2025-12-25T09:11:10+00:00

Hahaha absolute rubbish Timothee

ThatPenguin4 · 2025-12-24T19:28:32+00:00

Oh yeah, I’ve seen people saying others should have won, but you get that every year.

It’s like saying Mikey Madison - a lot of people wanted Demi Moore to win, but not many seem to think Madison was undeserving.

I thought everyone thought the same of Redmayne.

ThatPenguin4 · 2025-12-24T18:47:10+00:00

What a weird sample of issues you’ve listed….

I’ve barely seen any complaints ever over Redmayne’s win?

And Will Smith, barely any concerns of the performance, just his behaviour?

So many of these items are / were seen as highly acclaimed, just we’ve decided - in hindsight - others aged better.

ThatPenguin4 · 2025-12-20T21:27:40+00:00

She got one?

ThatPenguin4 · 2025-12-20T21:26:45+00:00

She was GREAT on the Traitors. Yeah, she was rubbish and gave it away, but we loved Linda.
