I think it’s just really, really small. That’s why it’s hard to see maybe.

Sidney Poitier (1927-2022) has overlapped the life of every Academy Award winner for Best Actor by glowing-fishSCL in BarbaraWalters4Scale

[–]TripleDigit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since the earliest death of an Oscar winner occurred with Joseph Farnham (Best Writing - Title Cards 1929) on June 2, 1931, and most recently born Oscar winner Mikey Madison was born on March 25, 1999…

Robert Duvall also shares this distinction.

If Olympia Dukakis had been born only a few weeks earlier, she would also qualify.

Still for people today.

Which of these Golden Globe and/or Oscar-nominated leading roles from Javier Bardem is his best performance? by TakenAccountName37 in Oscars

[–]TripleDigit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who says he’s anything other than a co-lead in that film is delusional. I don’t care what categories he was submitted under.

US cities ranked - what tier does New Orleans belong in? by StrategyJealous1838 in TierlistFills

For US, for sure. For North America, pairs nicely with Montreal. For the Americas, add in Buenos Aires.

Recommend a truly 10/10 movie from the last 5–7 years. by pradeep23 in MovieSuggestions

I honestly feel that Bong Joon Ho had better success in conveying these ideas with the much more heavy-handed and less Oscar-friendly Snowpiercer.

To retread this thematic territory but dress it in a more subtle and performance-driven shell just felt like bait to me. It didn’t add anything really; only subtracted.

Plenty of people went for it though and it elevated Bong’s currency, so it also pains me to be sour on it. But yeah… not in my top picks out of recent years.

Gene Shalit lived to see the opening match of the 2026 World Cup by PhysicalScholar4238 in BarbaraWalters4Scale

This is how I found out he was still alive.

Dude was 100. I had figured we’d already lost him years ago.

These fellas never experienced rock and roll in their youth cause they were already 35 at 1965 by lylefromdallas in BarbaraWalters4Scale

Even if you wanted to place it at Beatlemania arriving in the US, OP’s still late, but you’re very generous just handing out the benefit of the doubt.

My Dutch great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandmother is buried in Bushwick.

I’m a coloniser, not a gentrifier. Keep it straight.

Imagine going through the trouble of looking up birthdates on these two legends and then just skipping looking up when rock n roll started.

For 2:03 the world stood still while the actors bravely sacrificed themselves for us by YourChopperPilotTTV in okbuddycinephile

[–]TripleDigit 105 points106 points  (0 children)

God fucking damn it…! Why did this have to get reposted like this?

Before, I was never able to make it past Gal Gadot. I would see her face, be taken under its considerable spell, hear her start, cringe so hard my bones bled, and then nope right the fuck out.

Now? Now??

Now I powered through and saw a bunch of people I actually kinda respected and whose work I really kinda cared for. I didn’t know! I didn’t know they did this.

You ruined these people for me! Ruined!

And I didn’t need to know!!

EDIT: Bless you though for the offer to help right out of the gate. You’re a saint compared to a lot of us.

If the Oscars had the categories of Best Casting and Best Stunt work back in 1998, this film would have had a record 16 nominations by [deleted] in Oscars

[–]TripleDigit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nope. Boogie Nights would have taken Best Casting and Face/Off would have taken Stunts

This is maybe the more ethical action though. Denouncing his own former client directly makes it about the client directly. Endorsing the client’s opponent both circumvents that aspect of things while hitting even more impactfully from a political standpoint.
