Disco Stu

I couldn't make it through season 1.  Puke-worthy

I don’t like poll options that put words in my mouth.  A simple Yes/No/Sometimes is preferred.  Leave the arguments for/against to the thread.

STIV: Voyage Home is such a feelgood optimistic cuddly movie, how do you not like that?!

RIP Melinda Dillon from CE3k and A Christmas Story (and many other great movies over the years)

Forrest Gump rules

I don't believe you, you're not the truth

That's a cheat! It was a double EP, and you know it! 

For yesterday's Groundhog Day film night I did with a couple of friends, I had this song running in a loop for 90 minutes before we started the film. A sort of method viewing experiment, if you will. I'm surprised to say it never really wore out its welcome.

I’ve been playing on Switch.  

I agree, he's obviously not the frontrunner, but it wouldn't be unsurprising. 
 
It's probably his best shot since at least Lincoln when he won the Critics Choice, Life of Pi won the Globe, and Skyfall won the BAFTA, so you had a split race between critically acclaimed films with two BP nominees. Danna had the edge bc Life of Pi had the most musical novelty, maybe the most emotional use of music, and the movie checked a lot of boxes as a technical achievement. And it turned out Ang Lee had the edge over Spielberg in Director, so the movie was probably #2 in the Best Picture race after Argo (which was also score-nominated and could have won, but the score was an afterthought.) 
 
I think John Williams' score is also understandably an afterthought with Fabelmans, but I think there is a lurking sentimental factor with him. But Oscar sentiment is very fickle, sometimes it's the whole reason for winning and sometimes it's not even enough to get nominated. It's just that there's not really a smash movie-score combo so there is wiggle room. Babylon is the most attention-grabbing score but a divisive movie. Son Lux could easily ride EEAAO's coattails but I don't know that people are necessarily talking about the score. Whereas there are emotional ties with John Williams and Fabelmans. 
 
Obviously Memoirs was as close as he could ever have possibly gotten without winning. 

I cut off The Batman after a half hour.  I thought it was bad and the score was bad.
 
Full disclosure: I also didn't enjoy the first Reeves Apes movie (or the score) so I wasn't exactly in the demo for this
