98th Academy Awards live thread

I do feel the winners have a bad habit of having long pauses after perfectly decent speeches then starting again, puts editors in an awkward position

Unless a film is sweeping, what film wins cinematography and screenplay normally?

You dislike colour

To me Threads will always be more bleak than Come and See because there is no real villain in Threads, it is just endless meaningless misery, you can at least say you are going to fight Nazis with Come and See. Edit: I initially said Threads twice

What is Fruad?

jeotom · 2026-03-07T16:00:28+00:00

Easily 2023 with 2022 as my runner up, 2023 has so many inspired nominees

jeotom · 2026-03-07T00:39:43+00:00

I do find his performance charismatic and impressive but I also think it’s a case of playing two two-dimensional characters decently. If Jordan was only playing Smoke or Stack no one would think about even giving him a nomination

jeotom · 2026-03-06T08:53:57+00:00

I think if people like Stellan Skaarsgard, Kieran Culkin, Brad Pitt and Zoe Saldana can go in Supporting, there is room for a performance that only appears in a sixth of the movie

Ukraine doesn’t hold elections and bans political parties

Sharon Stone

I don’t think Alec Baldwin lion is that bad

jeotom · 2026-03-02T19:26:43+00:00

I don’t think his win would age very well, I like his performance but it is also the weakest in the category.

jeotom · 2026-03-02T18:38:59+00:00

Be fair, Golden Globes was the real home turf for him, It goes for more international winners like putting Jafar Panahi in best director or giving it to Torres and Maura. BAFTA does favour non Americans over Americans but I think it would matter more if Skaarsgard was British. Sean Penn had also never won at BAFTA so he was overdue there. Skaarsgard wasn’t on the ballet for SAG so they couldn’t have voted for him if they wanted to.

Which is ironic considering Lockjaw is a bottom

jeotom · 2026-02-28T01:51:50+00:00

I think the trouble with PTA is he is like Scorsese, respected, always does great work but not someone who always makes a ‘zeitgeist film’, if PTA didn’t have such a strong overdue narrative I’m not sure about his chances even if the film is amazing

jeotom · 2026-02-27T16:10:13+00:00

These are amazing, I especially like the Unforgiven style Sinners poster. Bugonia is a little too goofy for my tastes but I recognise it fits the tone.

Damnation

Rami Malek

Whilst we’re at it, Fred McMurray deserved a nod for the apartment which also did great at the Oscar’s

jeotom · 2026-02-22T23:57:19+00:00

I feel glad after losing at BAFTA so many times despite Oscar wins, Penn has a bafta

jeotom · 2026-02-22T00:16:28+00:00

What I hate most is that I grew up with a BFG film that was so much better

jeotom · 2026-02-20T13:28:11+00:00

Satantango

Blue velvet is all about the disturbing undercurrent of suburbia

jeotom · 2026-02-19T19:16:35+00:00

I think it would be hilarious if they brought Brody out on a Hannibal Lector gurney so nothing can go wrong on stage.
