Very effective. But why take it out on me?

oh the boys are doing their routine again

BEST SUPPORTING MALE

Raúl Castillo
Adam Driver

I would willingly make my directorial debut with these two on a closed set.

"An Elephant Sitting Still" wins Best Film at the @Golden_Horse awards. Even more so than normal, I haven't and won't see everything of importance this year; but of those I have, Hu's is definitely the standout, a major masterpiece that should be discussed among the decade's best

He doesn't even have a blue check mark.

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Sunday, 18 November 2018 00:17 (seven years ago)

I'm planning on turning him into the Dick Nixon of ilx film threads.

Gothams: best film to The Rider; Hawke, Collette

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 13:13 (seven years ago)

Hawke and Schrader's writing noms the likeliest to keep appearing this semester.

I like queer. You like queer, senator? (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 17:23 (seven years ago)

Not sure how, but The Rider already had its shot at the IFP indie awards last year.

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 17:51 (seven years ago)

I hope First Reformed doesn't get swept aside for Bohemian Rhapsody/A Star is Born. Hawke and Schrader have never won Oscars in their respective categories right?

flappy bird, Tuesday, 27 November 2018 18:11 (seven years ago)

Schrader has never even been nominated.

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 18:33 (seven years ago)

for writing?

flappy bird, Tuesday, 27 November 2018 18:37 (seven years ago)

Hawke, we should note, has two supporting noms for acting and one for co-writing (Before Sunset).

Just saw an assembly cut of VICE.

Wait, that was the finished film? Oy gevalt.

This thread isn't even spelled right, what kind of rules do you expect for a thread like that anyway?

A thread like this the doesn't nod toward Oscars is like a thread about gin that doesn't mention martinis.

damn i meant to predict that

Jeffwey Wells will cream himself, if that's still possible

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 19:18 (seven years ago)

I daren't admit that I prefer Green Book to A Star is Born.

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 19:19 (seven years ago)

dasn't you?

i just feel like reminding Eric of a film that won 3 Golden Globes for acting:

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 19:21 (seven years ago)

I debated whether I should wait for a screener or pay to watch goddamn Green Book tomorrow night.

Best Supporting Actor - Motion Picture

Legitimately more laughable than Pia Zadora.

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 19:22 (seven years ago)

do not pay to see green book xp

flappy bird, Tuesday, 27 November 2018 19:22 (seven years ago)

^^^^^^ this, let your most elderly relative buy your ticket this holiday season

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 19:24 (seven years ago)

i have no plans to see Green Book EVER

Benjamin's good, i just watched it again

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 19:28 (seven years ago)

(he's in it more than Burns tho)

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 19:29 (seven years ago)

Viggo basically plays @nycguidovoice personified in Green Book.

flappy bird, Tuesday, 27 November 2018 19:46 (seven years ago)

izzat some twitter celeb?

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 19:47 (seven years ago)

I had a visceral, must-flee, "John Simon every time he laid eyes on Liza Minnelli" reaction to every scene Benjamin appeared in.

Can confirm, this is the Twitter account Viggo Mortensen plays in Green Book.

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 20:08 (seven years ago)

so what is the arthouse horse this year, say for the NYFCC (tomorrow?)

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 20:10 (seven years ago)

i guess NY will go either Roma, Beale St or First Reformed?

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 20:11 (seven years ago)

Nice to see The Guilty mentioned :)

Frederik B, Tuesday, 27 November 2018 20:17 (seven years ago)

I don’t trust the NYFCC anymore, in the wake of their La La Land best pic citation.

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 20:29 (seven years ago)

The Guilty is OK sub-Hitchcock suspense.

I like queer. You like queer, senator? (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 20:31 (seven years ago)

some crix group will pick Binoche as best actress I hope
