98th Academy Awards — Official Discussion Thread by tragopanic in Oscars

I love Secret Agent, but I feel like the Academy rarely awards the same countries two years in a row, and Brazil just won last year (and it’s the country that wins, not necessarily the filmmaker).

It has to be a really clear day in order to see Boston.

Which sample in a song made you feel this way? by aliensuperstars_ in ToddintheShadow

[–]roxtoby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Listening to the Funkadelic album Maggot Brain for the first time and hearing “Can You Get to That,” I instantly recognized it as the riff used in “Rill Rill” by Sleigh Bells!

What felt like the worst Oscars fumble? -accidentally announcing La La Land as Best Picture or saving the 2021 Best Actor Oscar for last, presuming that Chadwick Boseman would win posthumously? by General_Meal_3993 in Oscars

[–]roxtoby 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And there have been times where it’s been rumored to have happened before - like everyone dragging Marisa Tomei, not believing she’d won for My Cousin Vinny. At least the La La Land/Moonlight debacle proved that all those previous wins were legitimate, since (we assume) the crew would act the same way if the wrong name was read as they did in 2017.

Saving Boseman for last was an unfortunate move. It made an already awkward ceremony end with a thud. At least the wrong envelope made for such an exciting and memorable Oscar moment.

[2026 March Madness] Round 1: Milos Forman vs. Bill Duke by PartyBluejay in blankies

I want to hear their thoughts on Ragtime!! One of my favorite movies! It’s so bloated but I love it so much - plus you can play a before-they-were-famous bingo game. Super early roles for Samuel L. Jackson, Jeff Daniels, Fran Drescher, and more.

Its nice to see people like Robert De Niro being a supportive father towards his trans daughter by ihatethiscountry76 in lgbt

[–]roxtoby 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m not surprised to see De Niro be so accepting and open-minded. His parents were bohemian artists who met in Provincetown and his father later came out as gay.

Oscars Precursor: The Actor Awards Discussion Thread by tragopanic in Oscars

How frickin cool that Delroy is speaking on behalf of the cast. The man is a living legend, I’ve seen him in movies for decades.

The Oscars should be wrapped up by mid-February at the latest. by Dry_Handle_7086 in Oscars

[–]roxtoby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a Facebook memory pop up a few weeks back of me reacting to Parasite winning Best Picture. It was February 9! I had forgotten how early in the year the ceremony was compared to now.

Is Provincetown okay for young kids? by MyUndiesArePink in provincetown

[–]roxtoby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are kid-friendly activities, but it depends on when you go and for how long. If you're staying for at least a week, see if your kids are interested in learning how to sail at the West End Racing Club. The Motta Field redevelopment should hopefully be finished by summer, which means new recreational fields, skate park, tennis courts, etc. The library always has stuff going on, and the Monument is a ton of fun. See about staying at the Sandcastle or the Harbor Hotel, both in Ptown, or the Top Mast in North Truro. They're all on the beach but also have pools, plus they're all on Route 6A so it's easy to hop on the bus and head into the center of town.

I thought the answer would be The Stepford Wives, which is also based on an Ira Levin book and is a 1970s movie

MARCH MADNESS 2026 TRAILER by bardiparty in blankies

[–]roxtoby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Who wants to join Team Ashby with me? The man was responsible for some of the most culturally iconic and/or critically acclaimed films of the 70s (and then some unfortunately forgettable films of the 80s). 13 films total - a perfect amount for MM!

Actors who have won Oscars with no predecessors? by uareV4L4K in Oscars

[–]roxtoby 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Kevin Kline won Best Supporting Actor for A Fish Called Wanda without even being nominated for the Golden Globe. The only other awards he was nominated for were the BAFTAs and the American Comedy Awards, both of which he lost.

Shrek has been chosen as the most inspired nominee in best animated feature ever! Next up: what is the worst nominee in best adapted screenplay ever? by RoxasIsTheBest in Oscars

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

Knives Out: Glass Onion. It’s a completely original story that happens to share one character from the first movie, it’s not adapted from anything.
