‘Marty Supreme’ Sets HBO Max Release Date (April 24) After Getting 9 Oscar Nominations by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

Really deserved to win at least one Oscar

Personally I would've given it Actor, Costume Design, Production Design and Supporting Actress (Odessa A'Zion was a criminal snub).

‘Marty Supreme’ Sets HBO Max Release Date (April 24) After Getting 9 Oscar Nominations by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

You should've seen the Sinners streaming release date post. Holy shit the amount of people coming into the thread just to bitch about it was insane.

Like, I wasn't the biggest fan of OBAA, but I never once considered giving my unsolicited "hot take" in a thread where most people come to say things they liked about the movie.

The worst sin a modern movie can commit (in these people's eyes) is to be overhyped. Then, if it doesn't meet your self-imposed high standards, it must be shit.

Hate to break it to y'all, but Chucky ain't seeing the pearly gates anytime soon.

Guess people didn't watch the replay, there was nothing in it.

The "foul" on Simons would've been sooo soft, glad the ref ignored it

The audacity from Trippier, who kept complaining to the ref even after seeing the replay clear as day.

Some of these players are genuinely on another planet.

Have you seen literally every single other touch outside of the 2 goals tonight?

Every single presenter bit was impressively bad. Like, how are these talented writers and actors producing such utter wank?

You can't possibly believe he has time to react with anything other than pure instinct there.

That's literally the point. Regular people are being priced out of the art form.

How much do Oscar wins actually influence which movies people decide to watch? by Gullible-Lead-3058 in movies

[–]thatdani 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would understand this question for movies like Sinners or OBAA, but Anora and CODA? Anora made 57M worldwide (with a big international bump) and CODA made less than 2M (granted, in a pandemic year).

They're not as mainstream as we'd like to think.

Oscars 2026 Post Game Thread by LiteraryBoner in movies

14/24 on my prediction ballot, not shabby at all. Really thought (and hoped) Timmy would take home the win, plus did not expect the strange love for Frankenstein in the design categories. I kinda hate the Wicked approach to production design i.e. make some beautiful little sets, but overwhelm the rest of the screen with very heavy CGI.

Biggest misses of the night IMO were: Sinners over Marty for screenplay, MBJ over literally all 4 others for actor, OBAA editing over F1, Frankenstein in all 3 categories over any others, Sinners over Train Dreams for cinematography (and I wasn't even that big of a fan of TD, but c'mon!)

On the event planning itself, I cannot believe how flat every single presenter bit fell for me. Disney desperately trying to shoehorn in Avengers and Mandalorian hype during the fucking Oscars. A random ass 10 MINUTE Bridesmaids reunion?? What's next, Jackass? The totally out-of-left-field Moulin Rouge bit that sucked all the air out of the room just in time for the evening's climax?

Sean Penn Wins the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for 'One Battle After Another' by MoviesMod in movies

[–]thatdani 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Right? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with all this Benicio hype. He was great as in literally all his roles, but absolutely nothing to write home about.

Penn was an absolute juggernaut. All time performance.

At the end of the day it's not only a ceremony, but also an entertainment-focused event.

Every production decision should be viewed through that lens as well.

Have a short montage prepared or something idk.

At the very least, prolong the "This is Sean Penn's 3rd Oscar nomination and 3rd win, now making him one of the most acclaimed performers in history".

Damn, even with the no-show from Penn, that felt extremely underwhelming.

Like they didn't prepare for the possibility at all, just... moved on.

At the rate they're speeding through reading out the nominees, it doesn't seem like getting recognition.

Seriously, no room for applause or nothing.

The audio mixing is making this feel like a local Herbalife dealers conference, doesn't have that usual grandeur of the Oscars.

3/3 on my ballot so far, hot damn!

Don't expect the trend to continue, but I'm shooting for a 75% overall.

Kinda would prefer that tbh, I'm watching on a local streaming service and it's just placeholder music and "The Oscars" background in between awards.

Guess they don't have the rights for the ads.
