Popular Post Glóin the Dark 1,222 Posted March 11 Popular Post Share Posted March 11 Very disappointed that Christopher Nolan’s Oscar night has been so temporally conventional. They could have mixed up the order, or had the winners return their awards rather than accept them or something.

No "normal" Oscar ceremony can ever hope to be as fun, memorable and hilarious as the Will Smith Slap or the La La Land/Moonlight disaster, no matter how many nude John Cenas they put on screen.

JNHFan2000 2,966 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 They also didn't show any clips of the performances. Which was a bit weird. Overall I think it was a strong production, but there were some weird choices made. Kimmel should not come back as host. Mulaney was funnier with 10 words than Kimmel was the entire evening. I would ask him to be honest. Al Pacino looked a bit confused. Maybe they should stop letting these older people present Best Picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also watched Oppenheimer just before the ceremony (which I thought was good but far from a masterpiece) Disappointed JW didn't win as usual as it was probably his last chance. We will never experience a JW Oscar win in the JWfan era now. The ceremony was a step in the right direction. They toned down the political correctness by a lot and even had fun moments added . But for years they complain that women directors aren't nominated, then this year a woman directs the most popular movie of the year that gains multiple awards nominations...and she didn't get a nomination!

Popular Post Damien F 1,742 Posted March 11 Popular Post Share Posted March 11 I wish the Academy would stop treating the In Memoriam section as primarily a performance piece with the actual deceased people seemingly a distant second thought. It is disrespectful. Trope, JNHFan2000, Edmilson and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbellamy 6,287 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I thought the coverage of the In Memoriam was slightly better than previous years but yeah, still a lot of people who went by while in a stage wide shot, and some names and faces were obscured entirely by whatever was onstage because of the angles. It's irritating that it feels like the deceased are being upstaged...everyone agrees the In Memoriam should be there, why distract from it? What was so wrong with just putting together a nice montage? The way they ended this In Memoriam is still more creative and moving to me than anything they've tried with it recently: Damien F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,466 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I had a dream with yesterday's ceremony. In my dream, Oppenheimer won all the awards it indeed won in real life, except for Best Picture, which went to Avatar: The Way of Water. When that movie's name was announced, the camera showed James Cameron and some other guy who seemed to be his producer (Jon Landau?) lying down on the stage playing with some action figures of US Marines, apparently recreating with toys the scenes of soldiers infiltrating the Pandora jungle. Then, suddenly a choir of people in Na'Vi makeup, all with the same dreads that Jake Sully had in that movie, started singing something, not from the score but I think some 70s music (?). And all of this ceremony happened not on the actual Kodak theater but on some church (??). A lot of other stuff happened as well, but I can't remember. After I woke up I was like "damn so Avatar 2 did get the Oscar over Oppenheimer huh" for a few seconds before my mind actually remembered what happened yersterday.

A cut to Christopher Nolan gleefully setting off a firecracker on the stage would have been way better than some boring speech. You should direct next year's ceremony. 10 hours ago, King Mark said: But for years they complain that women directors aren't nominated, then this year a woman directs the most popular movie of the year that gains multiple awards nominations...and she didn't get a nomination! Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean, but to me it reads as though you're suggesting that the second part of your sentence somehow undermines the first, whereas I would think that (if anything) it reinforces it. That's to say, if the director of the most financially successful film of the year, which is also one of the biggest critical hits, doesn't get a nomination, then people who have been alleging an anti-female bias could say that just proves their point, no?

What a terrifying future awaits us all lol. I’m not in the least bit surprised he won but still felt it was actually badly scored, both in terms of the music and the spotting. Intrusive and relentless in the dialogue scenes without any dramatic ebb and flow, just constantly noodling away with buildup after buildup making the film feel like a super long trailer. Ah well I can resign myself to being out of touch with what makes an Oscar winning score in the 21st century and pay them no mind. JTN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see it that way too. But I see it as more ironic. I've said in the past I'm firmly against nominations or letting people win on the basis that they check a diversity box, but in this case Greta Gerwig absolutely deserved a nomination based on merit, and for some reason it didn't happen. I think Jimmy Kimmel pointed that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jimmy Kimmel pointed that out. Well, there was indeed some controversy when the nominees were announced where people and the media were questioning why Gosling got a nomination but Robbie and Gerwig didn't. But they couldn't accuse the Academy of sexism because a woman did end up among the nominees for Best Director (the lady who directed Anatomy of a Fall). And I don't think it matters if you're a director of the biggest box office of the year, otherwise Marvel would have had way more noms... 34 minutes ago, Tom Guernsey said: Intrusive and relentless in the dialogue scenes without any dramatic ebb and flow, just constantly noodling away with buildup after buildup making the film feel like a super long trailer. This is the Nolan way of putting music in his movies, since his Zimmer days. A long, loud, constant tension build-up, even in supposedly "calm" scenes.
