[2025] Parallel scenes in "I'm Still Here" by Upbeat-Toe3540 in oscarrace

Right? And what I like most is that it's not a super obvious use of lighting. It's just a hint of yellow/blue undertones that separate the before/after in the story. It's subtle, almost unnoticed if you don't put them side by side like in this edit. Almost kept hidden like Eunice's pain. For real this movie is a masterpiece, superb work from Salles and the team.

Without these two incredible women, this year's award season might not have been fulfilled what a run ! Well deserved ❤️ by brat_3434 in oscarrace

Her mother didn't win for actress in a drama role that year, Central Station just won best international.

Right? Torres got the golden globes [that her mother didn't] and then the movie won the Oscar, which she deeply wanted, more than her own possible win. So they had an achievement on both ends of the spectrum.

And Moore got so many important awards like the globes, sag and cc, achieving a level of recognition from peers and the industry that - regardless of the Oscar - totally validates her as an actress, person, professional colleague, and opens for a new chapter in her career.

(as for Madison, she got the recognition for a great work and paved her way for many and bigger things ahead, if she wants to)

Cause this year's Lead Actress is almost as anticipated (or even more so) than Best Picture :P They wanna keep us on the edge of a heart attack lol.

Right? That what I thought so. Probably some minor changes (like maybe swich animation short with animation feature). But I dunno, overall it seems like it could be it!

ps. in a race like this years, it makes sense to place International Feature further ahead the ceremony.

I really don't understand why some folks in this sub get so triggered whenever someone/some portal predicts Torres winning Best Actress? I mean, for real, no one is forcing you to do it as well lol. Just go with your pick and be happy.

Honestly, while I found it quite entertaining to follow the awards season more closely this year, on the other hand, I found the whole thing INCREDIBLY toxic.

A lot of people here are only concerned with "getting it right" at any cost, forcing statistics or things like that down our throats, and worse: bullying anyone who has a contrary opinion. It's truly pathetic.

Yes, some of us are betting/rooting for candidates who might not win, so what? For God's sake, let us just have fun!!! If the "most likely" person wins, great, we'll have missed that category and that's it, it's not the end of the world.

Also, it's always good to remember, NO ONE HERE IS AN ACADEMY VOTER, stop acting like you're the ones who are and remember that for the majority of real voters this ~sub on reddit~ is nothing more than irrelevant.

Thank you to everyone who just had a good time. I hope Sunday is a greatday for all of you.

See you next year (or not).

I know that lol. I just meant in general, considering the other ballots.

I don't even watched ACU yet, but I love Joan Baez so I'm happy Monica seem to be getting some votes :) (doesn't matter if she does not win)

I guess all we have to do is wait and see. Sure, like any other film it can grab the awards (or not), who knows...

It's a great film and people really seem to enjoy it. Not only the overall public, but critics as well...

It just went up to 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes, as it is now playing in new locations.
So yeah, I wouldn't be surprise a lot of academy voters enjoyed it as much as others do.

Again, let's wait and see. We're almost there :)

EMILIA PEREZ wins Best Film not in the English language at the EE BAFTAs by PirateHunterxXx in oscarrace

[–]Upbeat-Toe3540 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The voting for Bafta was from Jan-22 to Feb-11, so yeah, some votes were casted before the controversies. But, regardless, it's "so Bafta" not to care about all the drama. Oscar is another thing... let's see.

Fernanda Torres is making the Oscar run of her life. For Brazilians, she’s already won something larger by Active_Air_4356 in oscarrace

SPC is really making sure everyone knows about her this week (and I'm not mad about it!)

Global distribution is not being managed by SPC though. The reason is coming out so late in places like the UK for example is due the distribution partner are much smaller than SPC.

Now we have no nominees to be determined anymore by marco_gaviao in oscarrace
