@NextBestPicture @asya_azimo15877 There is no "genocide" in Gaza.

[Shawn Reynolds @ShawnGReynolds]

@Klee_FilmReview Nothing comparable in scale and brutality to the Holocaust will ever happen again.

[Shawn Reynolds @ShawnGReynolds]

@NextBestPicture Another implied comparison between the Holocaust and Gaza (or Sudan/Ukraine/whatever)? Are we doing this for every WW2 film now?

Is historical literacy so lost that you actually think it's happening "again?"

In one 100-day period in 1941, ~1.5 million Jews were slaughtered.

@justmiaslife Your toxicity is making the world a worse place, Mia. I don't know why the algorithm is serving me your tweets, but you're blocked.

@LukeHearfield @la_Biennale @RenGeekness @KevinFilms @codymonster91 @ticktockanimate @JRParham @filmswithcloe @filmhoundsmag @DorianAwards @IFSCritics I look forward to watching - what happened to Hind Rajab is tragic. But I wonder why we see a non-stop deluge of Gaza stories (real or in some cases propagandized) but nothing from Sudan, Yemen, Congo, Myanmar, etc, which in some cases are experiencing far greater atrocities.

@adriaguxens What about Guillaume Marbeck?

[Shawn Reynolds @ShawnGReynolds]

@withbrotherbro Can you add Guillaume Marbeck in the Best Actor category for Cannes in Award Expert?

[Shawn Reynolds @ShawnGReynolds]

@effoff1988 I expect a high MC score for It Was Just An Accident.

[Shawn Reynolds @ShawnGReynolds]

@jasonosia @mavericksmovies There's no generational masterpiece, but halfway through, there's already many top tier films that we'll talking about for the rest of the year.

Both in competition (Sirat, SOF, Secret Agent, DML) and out (Left Handed Girl, The Plague, Chronology of Water, Urchin, Arco, etc).

[Shawn Reynolds @ShawnGReynolds]

@NextBestPicture Actors turned directors usually put out very safe movies, at least for their debut.

This is a great surprise.

[Shawn Reynolds @ShawnGReynolds]

@PopcornNMovie But Die My Love and Nouvelle Vague haven't premiered yet

[Shawn Reynolds @ShawnGReynolds]

@NextBestPicture Wow, Cannes this year seems so much better than last year. There are already three or four raved films, and it's only the third day.

[Shawn Reynolds @ShawnGReynolds]

@TheDuckWatches @expert_oscar The only near-lock BP nom until this point was Anora. We now have another.

[Shawn Reynolds @ShawnGReynolds]

@expert_oscar Succession bros (Kieran Culkin and Jeremy Strong) both have new strength at supporting actor with the dead buzz for Samuel L Jackson in The Piano Lesson and Conclave supporting performances

[Shawn Reynolds @ShawnGReynolds]

@NextBestPicture This sounds very reminiscent of Roberto Rossellini's GERMANY YEAR ZERO, which was shot on the actual ruins of Berlin after the war.

[Shawn Reynolds @ShawnGReynolds]

@NextBestPicture PLAYGROUND was incredible and deserves more attention. Excited for this one.

[Shawn Reynolds @ShawnGReynolds]

@withbrotherbro @AdriCaporusso Hi Justin, for whatever reason I spent the night writing a 3000+ word essay on your 20 second comment about No Other Land in your best of 2024 video. https://t.co/GcN6KULXlE Maybe went a little too deep in psychoanalyzing your throwaway line. Hope you enjoy lol

[Shawn Reynolds @ShawnGReynolds]

@cooldude_today @ema_sasic BAFTA will boost Sebastian Stan and The Apprentice still did well enough at SAG with the Jeremy Strong nomination

[Shawn Reynolds @ShawnGReynolds]

@cooldude_today @ema_sasic I still have Sebastian Stan in, SAG voted before the Globes
