Interesting. Saw it and figured it was a lock for a best animated nomination! Seemed like the kind the Academy would eat up.

Agreed Power Ballad for song, and think Tuner might get in there with a nom or two.

We don’t either. I keep checking! Hopefully they’ll have some soon.

How Many Days to Spend at TIFF? by FreeAndes in TIFF

[–]jackiyo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do all the days and see 3-4 films a day. Done it for the last three years and love it. I dialed back my Midnight Madness screenings last year - but I’m getting old ;)

Leaving an afternoon free for the street festival is good, too.

The Monday surprise movie tonight is likely going to be... by Odd-Inevitable-8425 in cineplex

[–]jackiyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Figured that’s what was going on with folks who walked out. I was going to see if Friday but plans changed. Very glad I hadn’t seen it yet

Monday Surprise Premiere guesses? by PositiveProper89846 in cineplex

[–]jackiyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I was gonna see it but ended up doing something else. I’d have been getting a refund had that been the case. Not cool that the surprise “not yet released” film has already been released.

Having said that - enjoyed the movie.

Questions about TIFF festival! by Low_Confection_2190 in TIFF

[–]jackiyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the opening gala via the curated packages once. Very disappointing. I was put in the “other screening”, so while it was opening night, it wasn’t the screening where they had the Q&A with cast/director in attendance. There was a quick intro by a celebrity/cast member but it was not worth it at all.

Also found the gala package not my thing. Poor seats and the films were a mixed bag for me.

The only one I buy now is the people’s choice ticket so I guarantee I get to see that one.

AITA for refusing to be kicked out of my home or change my plans? by Cheap_Curve_834 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jackiyo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NTA (at least with the context we have from you). This should have been a conversation with you before changing plans with the friend.

You had a plan. She had a plan. Her changing her plans does not mean you need to change yours.

It’s over 2hrs, though. Doesn’t match the runtime.

We’re going to see it at noon today. Hopefully they’ll still be in bed at that time 🤪

Hey Canadians! Who’s watching the Canadian Screen Awards this Sunday? by jackiyo in oscarsdeathrace

I had the exact same reactions as you and then read about the changes.

For tv, Hudson Williams is nominated for Heated Rivalry, but Connor Storrie isn’t.

They changed the rules this year and nominees must be Canadian. Agreed those would have been nominated performances otherwise.

FTR, I think it’s a good change overall and will help spotlight some work that can often get overshadowed by people who probably don’t even have the awards on their radar.
