Sean Baker youngest “his time” Oscar winner ever?

In all seriousness a great filmmaker getting his due for a great film.

David Lynch’s body of work is such an incredible addition to the cinematic canon. RIP to a real one.

Wicked Oscar campaign dead?

Also, imagine think gross matters in a medium that increasingly has gone to streaming. When’s the last time you saw a doc in theaters? They know the members of the cult will see anything they do so why not spend the money to distribute it widely?

[Riley Grandson @RileyGrandson]

There’s of course the requirement that the movie is actually *checks notes*… Good?

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

The Academy Awards announced the shortlist for documentaries. These are their top 15 films in the genre that will be whittled down to 5 nominees. “Am I Racist?” did not make the top 15 even though it is the highest grossing doc of the decade and easily the most talked about, most watched, and most influential documentary of this year. This is the outcome I expected, of course, but it doesn’t make it any less of a farce.

[Riley Grandson @RileyGrandson]

And no I haven’t seen this king of all grifter’s film who claims to be exposing the grift of DEI in this movie. Nor have I seen all of the 15 films shortlisted for the category. But I bet they more artistic value and important points of view other than spouting nonsense.

Excited to announce I will be joining the cabinet as the Secretary of Energy due to the fact I remembered to cut the power to my basement when replacing an outlet once.

Is Wayne County in the room with us?

[Riley Grandson @RileyGrandson]

I for one, am shocked, that the hackiest, wanna be edge lord comedian out there right now would have a racist joke in his repertoire.

“Tomorrow I’m doing 9/11” is such a cool thing to say. You can’t even be mad about it. It’s perfect.

Every good political thriller has always had a giant mutated rage beast. I think specifically back to The Parallax View, Three Days of the Condor… the list goes on.
