I thought Selma was pretty great, but does that give her the right to be the self-important narcissistic activist-bully she's been ever since? And she's certainly profited very well financially from the new arrangements she has helped force onto productions. Hide contents I won't comment for fear of being reprimanded.

Glóin the Dark 1,216 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I thought Selma was alright but pretty bland and that, among displays of self-important narcissistic bullying, DuVernay's Oscar comment was very much a half-hearted effort...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Well, it's safe to say that Laura Karpman won't be scoring DuVernay's next movie If she's even interested in directing still. She might be perfectly happy just raking in the cash charging studios for access to her database of People You Are Allowed To Hire. I'm sure getting in that database is completely above board and involves no funny business at all... bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,306 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Villeneuve and Campion upset that 2022 Oscars will cut categories: Quote “Honestly, I think that the Academy’s throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I think it’s a mistake. And I understand that they’re under tremendous pressure, but I think it isn’t the right decision. The thing is that filmmaking is about a teamwork. It’s like a football team. It’s like you have like all different kinds of jobs that everybody needs to get the top of its game; otherwise the movie collapses, you know? It’s a team effort. In the media we are a lot about the directors. We are, of course, a lot about the actors. All the people that are working in the shadows there, unfortunately, they need to be seen and to be recognized, and these award shows are made for them.” - Denis Villeneuve Quote “With the recent changes in the format the Oscars I want to take a moment to express particularly how important production design is to creating a good film. I would have definitely included design in the main body of the awards because design is so vital. It’s one of the most important relationships." - Jane Campion https://screenrant.com/dune-power-of-the-dog-directors-criticize-oscars/ Raiders of the SoundtrArk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Glad to see Spielberg coming out publicly against the decision since his word has a lot of sway in the Academy (and he’s a Governor).

A24 4,306 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Quote The consensus of critics and pundits is “The Power of the Dog,” but I’m not sure it’s backed up with favorable response from absolutely everyone. It’s very well made. Jane Campion is a great director. I wouldn’t be mad if it won, but I find it difficult to find people who really love it. I admire it, but it left me a little cold.

Glóin the Dark 1,216 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 It doesn't, because you cut out the first sentence which establishes that they're not talking about what should win. Later they say that they'll probably vote for Licorice Pizza. Presumably, then, that would be the one they'd say should win if forced to choose. Perhaps they do feel that it's the most popular, but that seems unlikely, and - even if true - they didn't suggest that popularity is the reason they're voting for it...

Free Guy - it was fine Spider-man No Way Home - it was enjoyable I wanted to see, but just never found the time, or it isn't available to stream yet CODA Licorice Pizza West Side Story Tick, Tick...

michael_grig 464 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Tick, Tick ... Boom and West Side Story are my favorite films of the (last) year. Definitely worth seeing. Andrew Garfield really did a great job in Tick, Tick ... Boom. I personally thought No Way Home was semi-good. I can understand the hype about Don't Look Up, but I don't necessarily share it. I think Dune could win a lot, including most likely music of course.... But overall I keep getting annoyed again that I couldn't watch all the films, because there are certainly many gems....

JTN 2,002 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 “the Oscar show — whether off air or on — will be starting at 4 pm. PT sharp rather than the official 5 p.m. PT start for the ABC broadcast, and he told me that is what it will say on the ticket, so that the nominees can rest assured it will be a full audience in their seats, not seat fillers. There will still be the red carpet show airing live on ABC at the same time as these categories will be pre-recorded and presented, but they are instituting timed arrivals for those stars to avoid the usual crush and will make sure that everyone connected with the nominated films in the eight categories will be inside the Dolby to join in the “celebration” of their nominees. “It was very important for us to have these nominees, have the full nominee experience, to be in the Dolby Theatre, on the Dolby set, looking out at those enrapt faces. And also, the filmmakers and the studios and the distributors, who have been involved in the films of those nominees, will be there to applaud both, their nominees and their winners,” Rubin says. “(It came together) when the idea came around to assemble everybody an hour early, and to have a number of award presentations in that first hour, where we can have the same environment, the same energy, the same celebration as we do during the live broadcast, and then preserve those awards and interweave them into the live broadcast seamlessly, so that they are all part of a cadence of 23 awards. Because again, our priority is to acknowledge excellence in all areas of movie making. And truthfully, most people, most attendees of the Oscars, love coming early anyway,” In other words everything is moving up, with the audience at the Dolby in for a four-hour show (at minimum), but the television audience will, with any luck see one that only runs three hours and still includes tastefully edited versions of the previously presented eight categories.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
