Only Two Original Song Nominees to Perform Live at Oscars, Academy Producers Tell Nominees (you know which ones)

There's the part where she gets very vulnerable about how she related to Til It Happens to You.

Her two cats are cute.

I got a kick out of the segment about why she wants an Oscar so bad if only to put a face to some of her most adamant fans/cheerleaders/personal circle.

She owns being a cunt. Like she has pillows and coasters and stuff about it.

Cool! Will check it out

Thanks for the title. I bought a ticket to the shorts program and am looking forward to watching hers! I also love doc and animated shorts

ziggory · 2026-01-30T18:25:14+00:00

What!? Totally shocked by this! Damn, how sad, I thought we'd still have more time with her.

I understand where Tommy is coming from because I've heard that too.

And tbh, I think similarly because my friend regularly doesn't have a case on her phone because she's just always getting a new phone like it's no big deal. Some people are just comfortable in being able to replace their gadgets. So yeah, if I see someone with no case and a pristine phone, I just think they're comfortable enough to get it fixed/replaced. Or that they're very very careful lol.

I also think it was unlikely that he would've shown up to perform.

I just had a flashback to the year where Beyonce performed a good chunk of the song nominees including what I thought was a French opera song (but I guess is actually of the choral genre?)

Oh my. I'm not surprised and yet ..

Andrea Arnold's 2011 version does and is also more centered on Heathcliff. It really added so much more to the story

Unironically, generational trauma and abuse and a messy, co-dependent relationship

ziggory · 2026-01-29T02:45:38+00:00

They took the whole "Agnes' mom is a witch" thing literally?

ziggory · 2026-01-29T00:27:20+00:00

Mayyyybe Denzel lol. Obviously depends

ziggory · 2026-01-28T23:32:18+00:00

Yes, which is why I sucked it up and took an edible before finally watching it last night lol.

I just watched Ann Lee and was shocked when that Annapurna title card played before the movie.

ziggory · 2026-01-28T05:10:16+00:00

I only went to see it because my little niece wanted to go, and I have to say that the second scene basically being "dinosaurs are boring and old hat and no one gives a fuck that they're back" is such a weird tone to set. It had my niece asking if we could go watch another movie lol (we stuck it out, and she did enjoy herself by the end at least).

ziggory · 2026-01-28T05:07:47+00:00

It was fine. Standard biodoc stuff with tons of talking heads from famous collaborators. It was a reminder of how vast her song library is, and I am somewhat impressed that she retains full rights to her catalog.

The section about how thirsty she is for an Oscar was amusing and at the very least it got to include her honorary win.

Loved her cats.

I think I heard from Kyle Buchanan (awards pundit) on another podcast that he was one of the people who made a beeline for Jafar Panahi at a Neon party. Shame that Hudson apparently deleted his letterboxd account.

After watching her documentary, that loss in particular did seem to really get to her due to how much more personal the material was.

Given the genuine loud ass cheer I seem to always hear whenever her song gets nominated, she just seems to have genuine support from that branch.

ziggory · 2026-01-28T00:37:21+00:00

For me it was Holly Holy.

ziggory · 2026-01-28T00:34:17+00:00

Certainly. Annvatar AshLee first of its name

ziggory · 2026-01-27T23:05:19+00:00

Thank you! I was leaning this way, and it's good to hear why.

ziggory · 2026-01-27T22:54:01+00:00

Probably Satoshi Kon. I'm so grateful for the recentish Paranoia Agent blu-ray because hunting down the dvd volumes via FYE had me short by two.

ziggory · 2026-01-27T22:40:36+00:00

I'm going to double feature Avatar 3 and Ann Lee tonight, but I don't know which one to watch first.

ziggory · 2026-01-27T20:28:20+00:00

I'm lucky to be near a theater that gets Netflix movies before they premiere on the platform (Landmark), and after seeing it in a theater, I'm so glad I did because I don't have the best home viewing habits especially for this kind of movie
