Wow. I thought everyone believed it wasn't one take?
You know he's joking right?
Having watched The WIfe I can assure you that it is by no means mediocre. ì It is most certainly unseen... and hardly rates as a film one would go out to see at a theatre. But it is NOT mediocre.
The other narrative Zellweger has going for her is that while she's won an Oscar before, Judy Garland never did... so this is apparently the Academy's way to posthumously award her an Oscar. As if it's going to leave Renee's trophy case and go to Garland's estate or something.
Why does it matter if it elevates their career or not?Really bummed about Zellweger being a lock for this oscar.
It feels to me like such a wasted Oscar and any of the other nominees would make for a more exciting win.
The academy should be ultra careful about elevating someone to two-time status.
I don't see much of a career or an impact for Zellwegger's career. Its gonna be yet another Hillary Swank case...Does anyone even know who she is besides oscar enthusiasts ?
She's starred in hit many hit films - Chicago, Jerry Magire (so?), Brigette Jones films - she's lasted a long time as an actress. As for an Oscar not setting her career on fire, realistically, at her age the parts available in movies are going to be minimal, but she can also get roles in tv to fill the void.Really bummed about Zellweger being a lock for this oscar.

Joker won't win Best Picture, but Goddamn, I'd pay to see the reactions lol

You'll see similar reactions if Trump gets re-elected in November.Joker won't win Best Picture, but Goddamn, I'd pay to see the reactions lol
I don't like the idea of Zellweger winning her second Oscar but denying her an Oscar because it wouldn't have much impact on her career sure is a weird take.Really bummed about Zellweger being a lock for this oscar.

It would be the most entertaining outcome no doubt.Joker won't win Best Picture, but Goddamn, I'd pay to see the reactions lol
Cynthia's actually got a decent shot of nabbing an Oscar this year.Following your logic only acceptable winner would be Cynthia Erivo because the Oscar win wouldn't really have much of an effect on the careers of the other nominees (Johansson, Ronan, Theron or Zellweger).

I thought it was hyperbole, but the movie felt like it was a long shot.
You've saved the best for lastSaw 1917 yesterday. I liked it but I was expecting more give the buzz.
From BP nominees The Irishman will be the last one I will watch as I'm not interested into Jojo and Ford x Ferrari.
I hope so! I got really mad as the movie was only exhibited for less than a week here in Brazil(I live in Rio). Only thing I'm worried is about how CG will affect my experience as I didn't like it when I saw the trailers.

Definitely a great film. If the race is between it and Parasite I'm also with Parasite.Same, but it's still a great film. I'd rather have Parasite sweep if it's between those two, however.
Klaus decimated the competition at the Annies winning everywhere it was nominated.
Saw the movie on Christmas Day with the family. Its pretty good but I didn't think much of it until that Oscar nomination. Props to them for winning all those Annies.Klaus decimated the competition at the Annies winning everywhere it was nominated.
Meanwhile, the Annies shook up the Animated Feature competition in a big way.

Let's deep dive those two instances a little bit further to better qualify Parasite's chances.This decade we had two instances when the PGA+DGA winner lost the Oscar: La La Land and Gravity. They lost to movies with strong screenplay, more socially important themes and a big ensemble: 12 Years a Slave and Moonlight. Movies seen as big technical achievements are most vulnerable to an upset in Best picture.
1917 is the frontrunner but don't count Parasite out yet.
A lot of Academy members just vote for their friends, or the people they've known the longest, ones who they know have been working a long time. I think it's probably safe to assume that many to most voters never even heard of Bong before Parasite. Or at the very least certainly don't know him as well as Mendes.So they gave bong the biggest ovation...and the vote for Mendes? 🤷♂️
you don't think Once Upon a Time is more likely than Parasite to upset 1917?This decade we had two instances when the PGA+DGA winner lost the Oscar: La La Land and Gravity.

Hollywood is DOA. Its 100% PGA bait, but it couldn't win there. Its built for SAG ensemble, lost that to a foreign language movie. Didn't get any editing nom, which is big for any movie with Best Picture buzz and not shot in one-take like Birdman or 1917. Its got Brad's Oscar win, and a solid chance in O. Screenplay, Production Design, and Costume Design. That's it.you don't think Once Upon a Time is more likely than Parasite to upset 1917?
It's immediately apparent you have absolutely no idea what a producer does or how movies are actually made.Flaming hot take
Just wondering if I'm still the only person who doesn't like that BP is given to producers only.
This year 8/9 nominees have the director as producer. Only Little Women doesn't. Doesn't it seem f*cked up that if Little Women were to win, the person who wrote and directed it would not be awarded or recognized? If already 8/9 include the director, why not just include the directors officially?
Yes, I know BD exists. IDK. Just feel like the producers being the only ones that matter is so old Hollywood or whatever.
Makes sense. I loved it, but definitely didn't need to see Hollywood award itself Best Picture for what'd be the fourth time in a decade.Hollywood is DOA.

You're missing one important factor for the 2017 Oscar race. It was the first Oscars since the #oscarssowhite controversy. A controversy that affected Oscars much more than the precursor awards like the Baftas.2017's race was much more of a surprise. La La Land had been the pre-ordained Best Picture winner since its premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September. In retrospect, the SAG Ensemble snub jumps out as a red flag, but the movie did enjoy some support from the acting branch given that Emma Stone won an Oscar and Ryan Gosling sang a song that won another. Moonlight did best it for the WGA prize... but La La Land won Screenplay at the Globes and they both lost to Manchester by the Sea at BAFTA, so this didn't exactly foretell overwhelming support from the writers branch for one film over the other. La La Land just seems like the victim of a front-runner backlash that persisted over 5 1/2 months until the Best Picture winner was read... for the 2nd time.
You basically just said "If 1917 was a different film that wasn't 1917".If 1917 wasn't a war movie it probably wouldn't win anything. That genre is easier to win shit. Victoria didn't get much hype back a few years ago and that was done one take and was petty good but wasn't eye candy.
Saw this last night, same feelings. Really exceeded what I expected. Bale was great and some fine editing and great racing shots. Only qualm was as someone who grew up near daytona and has seen 25+ races there including the rolex is it's clear they're not shooting at daytona during that scene. but that's more me being a stickler lolJust saw Ford v Ferrari, a really fantastic movie that exceeded my expectations and was compelling and fun throughout its long runtime. Definitely deserving of its Best Picture nom spot.
give OUATIH costume and parasite PD
