I don't read him regularly, so I'm just gonna ask: is K.U. trolling with this Snowman stuff?

Assuredly.

I don't care that much about oscars, but since Sean Baker is the quintessential American filmmaker of the decade, it would be cool to see him nominated at least once.

The Florida Project is gonna be a tough Oscar sell beyond Dafoe.

Yeah, probably :)

This doesn't really fit here (although it must one of the best short films of the year) I'm posting it because I want Alfred and Eric to watch it and tell me what they think.

Waters' commentary now up: https://www.artforum.com/inprint/issue=201710&id=72432
My faves:
5 WONDERSTRUCK (Todd Haynes) Want an IQ test for your cinephile children? Just take them to see this beautifully made, feel-good kids’ movie about the hearing-impaired, starring a little girl who looks exactly like Simone Signoret. If your small-fry like the film, they’re smart. If they don’t, they’re stupid.
10 TOM OF FINLAND (Dome Karukoski) This dirty but dignified, oddly commercial biopic of the artist who inspired the modern-day s/m gay leather scene is now the Finnish government’s official entry in the 2017 foreign-film Oscar race. That’s what I call patriotic penis progress, and I hope it wins.

John Waters says in that piece that Woody Allen has never made a bad film, so he should be careful about calling others stupid.
Zama is alright, no Headless Woman imho.

Lol at the Emihholz. He premiered four films at Berlin and I kinda gave up on it all... I do like his architecture films, though.

Assuming Nat'l Society also signs off, that's a sweep.

Dunkirk wins for editing, which should probably be a no-brainer like Dafoe and Nixon.

Chalamet also gets another award. (They went Hawkins for actress instead because, damn, they have a chub for that Del Toro flick.)

But somehow managed to avoid giving it best picture (CMBYN) or best picture runner-up (Florida Project). Whew, I guess?

FP snubbed :(
Also, I was going to see CMBYN today, but then it turned out I looked at the program the wrong way, and it's next month. So fuck that film.

did we ever get runners-up/postmortem on NYFCC?
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Monday, 4 December 2017 02:04 (six years ago) link
I just watched Beach Rats and thought it was gross, the denouement is so gratuitously depressing that I felt like I wanted to have a talk with Hittman and ask her why, exactly, she made this - were the stakes so high? Because it didn't feel like they were so that it would turn out that way. Aside from that it was not believable that that guy would have been hanging out with those other three for a start and certainly not believable that he'd rope those chumps into a violent act for the sake of a bag of weed.
― Susan Stranglehands (jed_), Monday, 4 December 2017 02:22 (six years ago) link
she got some grief for appropriating some of the details of the death of a black gay man in NYC a few decades ago.
actually the four boys seemed like a plausible crew to me.
