@OscarRunnerUp Cillian Murphy wins but my vote would be for Adrien Brody. his vibes are unreal horrible in real life but when coupled with the right script he's really something special
@JebraFaushay love him but there's no conspiracy here. listen to his friends, the other ones in this sketch. he had an alcohol problem and a history of doing drunk stupid shit. and one day it killed him
@butterflylouka three particularly incredible performances here, two inconveniently from problematic people: affleck, hopkins, brody
murphy & phoenix are also very good and carry their films, but their choices are relatively safe ones; "well executed" performances and not much more
@HugeEyes04@alexL_E_I Kiarostami's family sued his doctors for medical malpractice claiming they knew he had cancer long before alerting him, allowing it to become terminal. The case was dismissed in legal court, but the surgeon pleaded guilty before the Iranian Medical Counsel
@MiryeaShevaughn i almost agree with this. this behavior is certainly a grab for power, but i think people exposing themselves for it are also in it for the attention and no one should feel responsible to ask "are you alright? how can we help you?" especially their victims
@TheFakeAbeBeame it's partially why this year sentimental value and hamnet stand no chance — they could in other years, but this year there will be at least two strong fun contenders: OBAA, the funnest and thus the leader, and sinners, the second funnest and thus second place.
@TheFakeAbeBeame it was the fun option. the big change the academy has been seeing post-pandemic is that the fun option wins unless there's not a fun option in the nominated (coda, nomadland) or there's a steamroller in the race (oppenheimer, which can be argued to be fun cuz of barbenheimer).
@magdalenepop idk its pretty believable. weak competition that year + industry icon without a win; plus I think it's refreshing for an actual supporting role to win in the era of leads winning the supporting category
@NatPurser these people met and were family with people involved in slavery or sharecropping but got the education enough to realize its horrors and become complicated about their own place in this world. great artists are often those with great inner turmoil/questioning
@dialGG both. he really wants to be a top of the game movie star and a savior of cinema of sorts. he also thought it would be fun to do a really hype tryhard press tour, so he negotiated a deal involving box office sales so that what he already wanted to do bares financial benefit
@Dok845@Nick_Newman casting director for silence said that Tsukamoto auditioned for his role just like any other actor, advanced to the round to audition in front of Scorsese, and when they got in the same room Scorsese jumped up and they started rapid fire bowing to and complimenting one-another
