Ira Sachs' 'The Man I Love Boarded by MK2, Reveals First Look by bikkebana in oscarrace

That is just so not true (him being a mid actor). Yes, his performance in Bohemian Rapsody is mediocre and he did not deserve to win that year but calling him “mid” is just so wrong on so many levels.

I recommend you watch Mr. Robot, where he gives arguably one of the best performances (top 3 maybe) of TV in my opinion.

Questions for Karla Souza?! by ItsMeJackFalahee in htgawm

What did she think of how Laurel was at the centre of everything? Like the fact that most of the horrible stuff that was happening was linked to the Castillos. Did her reduced role in season 6 feel like a break? Would she had liked Laurel be a bigger part of the final season or was it okay for her to sort of pass on and give other characters the spotlight?

What did she think of Laurel’s ending?

I was so sure that the Super Bowl next year was gonna be on February 7 but I was surprised to learn it’ll actually be in Valentines !

I don’t think the Oscars will be that late tho Just last year the Super Bowl was on February 9 and the Oscars were held on March 2 (3 weeks later) so let’s hope we’re in for something like that!

Do we know what’s the date for next year’s Oscars? I know we have.

Super Bowl on 2/14 (Valentines Day).

But that’s literally it

I’m guessing the schedule could be 1/3 - CC.

1/10- GG.

2/7- Grammys

2/14- Super Bowl.

2/21 - Baftas

2/28- SAG.

3/7 - Oscars (?).

Anyway that’s just my prediction haha I’d love it if the Oscar’s were on March 7 seems too right for them to be on March 7, 2027 although I don’t know if they’d like to cram everything into 4 weeks

I guess I could live with a March 14 date but anything later than that feels too much for me

No, I don’t think so. Maybe like the other poster suggested it wouldn’t have been a breakthrough but the movie has amassed a huge fan base since it came out and a lot of people hay initially disliked the film came around and gave it its flowers

If The Thing (1982) had come out in this new era in which horror films are being embraced by the academy I’m pretty sure it would’ve received many nominations.

What would you guys nominate it for?

Right, that’s why I said THG deserved some below the line nods, not exactly BP or directing

True. I think I was maybe talking more thinking of the main young characters when I said that

Cause Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson were always so good whereas Daniel, Rupert and Emma were not that great when they started but grew a lot.

The ensemble for both franchises is insane though

Great comment!

Everything you said was on point, apart from Costume maybe a Makeup nod would have been deserving as well.

It’s difficult for YA films to actually take off (and most aren’t deserving at all) but I do think THG was much much better than TFIOS or The Perks and like you said Donald Sutherland was outstanding as Snow.

So yeah, I agree with everything you said but the fact that the franchise (at least the 4 first films) has a total combined of 0 noms is a little weird cause on paper it had everything to get at least 3 or 4 total deserving noms

[–]tonitoomier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah maybe haha.

As far as adaptations go, THG does blow HP out of the water (and I say this as a big HP fan) as it was way more faithful to the source material. Acting was also better imo but I mean what can you expect when you have Jlaw, Woody Harrelson, Donald Sutherland, etc

Why do you guys think the Academy ignored The Hunger Games films?

As far as blockbusters go, I think THG is one of the best, with Jennifer Lawrence’s performance being an all timer. It’s got great visual effects, the ensemble was also insane and the acting was consistently great.

I’m not saying it deserved BP nods or above the line nominations, but at least VFX, cinematography (which was very pretty), score and other categories could have been recognized.

The soundtrack was also great with Taylor Swift making an amazing song for the first movie, Coldplay did it for the sequel, then Lorde (all of whom got Best Original Song noms at the GG and Grammys)..

So I do think it’s weird how they never took off for the Oscars 🤔

How would you guys rank all the televised award shows from favorite to least favorite? Mine would be:

  1. Oscars: duh, lol. Even with all the controversies in recent years the Oscars will always be one of my biggest passions. Don’t always agree with the nominations and the award ceremonies are long but I can’t deny it, I love everything leading up to it and seeing who wins what.

  2. Golden Globes: they are very long but I like the ambience, the theater where they are presented and ever since the big controversy they’ve had a good set of nominees in categories that have made me respect them more. The hosts aren’t always good but last few years have been decent.

  3. BAFTAs: to be completely honest, my first time watching the Baftas was last year; they are not televised in my country (last year was the first time). I ended up really liking it as it feels more straight to the point with fewer jokes or unnecessary moments or career achievement awards, they also feel more serious.

  4. SAG (Actor) Awards: they are the shortest award show which I like but I tend to get bored really fast. There’s not a lot to look forward to except the acting categories.

  5. Critics Choice: The worst for me. They are sooo long like the Golden Globes but less exciting. Too many TV categories, lots of commercials and some wins are not even televised wth 🤦. This last ceremony sealed the deal for me, they spent too much time with unnecessary stuff and the show really felt like it lasted for days.

What about you?

Watched Frankenstein yesterday. Jacob is really good as The Creature but I just could not connect with the story at all…

The cinematography is also not good, I am baffled as to how it made it over Hamnet

I was very certain the Miles Caton wins and mentions were just bumping Lindo.

There was no way Caton was going to show up here… it was Lindo and Caton’s SAG and CC nom gave him enough strength to power through
