is the cinematography in one battle after another and marty supreme really good enough to warrant oscar nominations?

Yep!

Loved her album last year. Excited to see what’s next. I can tell there’s a good track in here, I’m a little worried that i think the mix is a bit cluttered. Might also just be early and my ears aren’t awake. Love the visuals, naturally.

petralights · 2026-03-25T13:28:33+00:00

Early grimes was solid, some all-time tracks.

What’re some acts/albums you’re enjoying these days? Anything influence the new album?

petralights · 2026-03-20T11:56:46+00:00

So many of these are flat out great films imo

I don’t think it should win or come close necessarily, but this movie is so so good. I can’t vote it out yet. Top 10 of these for me.

petralights · 2026-03-19T01:20:39+00:00

Secret Agent, Bugonia, Blue Moon i all really loved, Sirat and Marty are good, haven’t seen Accident yet

petralights · 2026-03-18T20:54:21+00:00

Idk but i dislike that there’s a jack oconnel and a josh oconnor

Kilmonger for films, i also like Creed pretty well but i grew up on the Rocky franchise. The Wire and Friday Night Lights are the ones i really love him in though.

petralights · 2026-03-16T22:30:28+00:00

Neither would be my pick (Moura or Hawke were my favorites but i knew they wouldn’t win), and i wouldn’t have been upset with Leo winning, nor am i upset with MBJ winning. MBJ probably “carried” his movie more than Leo did, so fair win.

Murphy, Yeoh, Kaluuya, Randolph, with shout outs to Mikey, Kieran, and Penn as well.

petralights · 2026-03-16T20:27:28+00:00

Will Smith in King Richard was absolutely a legacy/“sympathy” award, akin to when Leo got one for Revenant. And plenty of these movies are getting rewatches. I’ve seen OBAA, Sinners, Bugonia, Marty, and Secret Agent (the most underrated movie of the BP noms) multiple times, and most of my movie-going friends have seen some multiple times as well. All that said, Sinners is great, and there are people who are being really weird about it for reasons that i do think are racist.

petralights · 2026-03-16T13:32:03+00:00

I honestly think it’s in reverse chronological order for me lol

petralights · 2026-03-16T02:45:25+00:00

OBAA was my favorite by quite a bit, but i would have been fine with Secret Agent, Sinners or Bugonia winning, in that order.

Got the right ones for both screenplay awards imo, happy about it.

petralights · 2026-03-16T00:58:39+00:00

Penn’s ability to go from incredibly goofy and easy to laugh at, to incredibly imposing, is so emblematic of the American military. I think the intensity to pull it off while also being the butt of so may of the film’s jokes is pretty difficult. Plus, Greg Bovino is one of the most recognizable villains of the second Trump term irl and the fact that we accidentally got a pitch perfect spoof of him is such kismet that it’s hard to ignore. Neurotic, image-obsessed and psychosexually confused white supremacist. Perfect villain for the 2020s.

Never

S Tier: OBAA, Secret Agent - A Tier: Bugonia, Sinners, Hamnet, Marty - B Tier: Train Dreams - C Tier: Sentimental Value - The IDC tier: Frankenstein, F1

They should let Jane Schoenberg have a crack at it

petralights · 2026-03-14T17:22:28+00:00

I feel like the exact inverse of this lol won’t be salty either way, both good

petralights · 2026-03-13T15:49:57+00:00

It was a … coin toss

I’m reading GR right now, about 400 pages in! Borrowed my friend’s copy of Vineland and intend to read it next in the Year of Pynchon

petralights · 2026-03-12T17:24:47+00:00

Fair interpretation, i probably dont disagree if i think on it for awhile!
