Who in the right mind will voluntarily watch rich Hollywood elites that despise average American giving each other feel good awards.
I honesty cant stand how preachy Entertainment industry has become. They will gladly tell everyone that we should drive electric car to save the planet, while at the same time take private jet everywhere. They will preach how we illegal immigrants are great, while at the same time fight tooth and nail from them coming to places where rich people live. They will also gladly yell take the guns away and abolish police, why they themselves living in super safe gated communities with best funded personal protection money can buy.
So who will will an Oscar? Honestly, I care more who will win local Spelling Bee completion, than who will win an Oscar.
No one watches the Oscars anymore. Go to where the puck is heading. Coddling of the American Mind launched on Substack because no major studios would fund and distribute it due to wrongthink.
Francesca is way too nice about "Poor Things". It's awful. There is some weird faux artistic pretense going on, but it's not entertaining in the least. And completely agree that "The Holdovers" is terrific. It's an old school movie that tells a good story with good actors. I almost felt like it doesn't belong on the list because Hollywood rarely makes movies like this anymore.
Oh gosh, I hope they mention World Peace....and a truce in the Middle East. I'll be waiting for their genius on the subject as they stand their half-naked and all-knowing.
As Laura Ingraham once said......shut up and act!!!!
i guess someone will read this review and watch the oscars. i haven’t watched for 10 years. can’t stand the show, nauseating conversations , to say nothing of the product they pass off as art.
The Oscars, where over paid, over privileged people give each other awards for doing their jobs and then make speeches about how you should behave in the world in which they do not really live.
I love Olivia Reingold’s take on Anatomy of a Fall. I believe Olivia must be young, because it takes a young person to know the emperor is actually naked. I can’t imagine sitting through 151 minutes of some pseudo artsy film that the NYT adores.
I have not heard of any of these movies and I’m actually so incredibly proud of myself for being so blissfully ignorant of anything coming out of Hollywood. Please forgive my lack of humility. i don’t mean to brag.
The best thing about the Oscars.....is TCM playing all the Oscar nominees since the beginning of time. Lawrence of Arabia was on last night. My God...some of the scenery, camera shots, dialogue, and the acting......I could watch it forever. One of my favorites is Alec Guinness playing Prince Faisal. He has some great lines...clever and cutting.....loved his attitude.
Read “The Killers of . . “ book last year - I was disappointed in the writing (the actual true story was fascinating). Skipped the movie because Hollywood, for some reason, fumbles true stories (maybe because of the big named stars, maybe because of dramatic embellishments).
Savodnik says: “. . that’s your problem.” - what a jerk, so characteristic of the times / woke media thinking.

Am I the only person who thought that a lot of Oppenheimer was boring?

I cannot imagine anything more boring than watching Hollywood types kissing each other's asses.

I am hoping for The Holdovers and American Fiction.

The only two that I think I would want to watch are American Fiction and the Holdovers.
This was as useless as watching the Oscar’s
Holdovers is tops thanks to three terrific
performances. Paul is a spitting image of his remarkable father, Angelo Bartlett Giamatti.
