I am all too familiar with that feeling from my time in the OFCS

resident hack (Simon H.), Wednesday, 19 December 2018 20:54 (seven years ago)

The Favourite leads with nine.

lol Vox Lux

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 19 December 2018 20:58 (seven years ago)

couldn't find a 5th supporting actress, eh

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 19 December 2018 21:00 (seven years ago)

Considering we got two leads in supporting actress....

Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 19 December 2018 21:01 (seven years ago)

oh

Sakura Ando – Shoplifters

hey, 2 foreign actors out of 20, better than most

Forget it Simon, it's BFCA-town.

couldn't get Binoche in, fie on you

As happy as I'm going to be to see BlacKkKlansman anywhere when it comes to the Oscars, smh at Adam Driver being the only one from that cast widely cited.

On my ballot! I was the only one!

Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 19 December 2018 21:05 (seven years ago)

I'm in Florida for a few days every year. Let the me one in.

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Wednesday, 19 December 2018 21:06 (seven years ago)

you gotta venture beyond the Florida Mason-Dixon line, sweets, aka Lake Okeechobee.

Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 19 December 2018 21:07 (seven years ago)

My ballot

Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 19 December 2018 21:10 (seven years ago)

Son of Denzel did not give a particularly noteworthy performance imho, Eric

you shd've been more upset when Stallone got all the Creed luster

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 19 December 2018 21:11 (seven years ago)

I was talking more about the many other supporting options, mainly.

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Wednesday, 19 December 2018 21:17 (seven years ago)

Washington was terrific, certainly better than Viggo in Mook's Honor.

Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 19 December 2018 21:22 (seven years ago)

not as good as Lakeith Stanfield in the Boots Riley joint

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 19 December 2018 21:30 (seven years ago)

if we'd been allowed to include five nominees, Stanfield would've been in on my ballot.

Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 19 December 2018 21:35 (seven years ago)

Happy to see First Man get some noms

flappy bird, Wednesday, 19 December 2018 21:43 (seven years ago)

Oops -- forgot my favorite nomination:

Sakura Ando, Shoplifters

― devvvine,

lol I sent the ballot on Tuesday as I was posting about Rohmer in the last x movies thread.

Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 20 December 2018 13:24 (seven years ago)

Best scenes, Slant Mag: https://www.slantmagazine.com/features/article/the-20-best-film-scenes-of-2018

First Man fan tho I wasn't, that scene was one of the greats this year.

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Thursday, 20 December 2018 13:26 (seven years ago)

as someone who likes Lars more than most, the fact that Jack seems to be getting kinder notices than Nympho - or at least comparable ones - is baffling to me

resident hack (Simon H.), Thursday, 20 December 2018 13:28 (seven years ago)

an Alm0nd review to add to the pile: https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/12/movie-review-the-house-that-jack-built-dark-satire/

I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Thursday, 20 December 2018 13:51 (seven years ago)

xp: less of the typical (every.single.film) misogyny? LVT looking like he's near death?

Sanpaku, Thursday, 20 December 2018 13:59 (seven years ago)

if anything Nympho did a better job of complicating / audience-implicating / problematizing / pick-your-buzzword-ing w/r/t misogyny. Jack just kinda lazily lampshades it.

resident hack (Simon H.), Thursday, 20 December 2018 14:00 (seven years ago)

I love that lampshading monologue! It's so spot on with the MRA rhetoric, and I wasn't surprised that certain Danish reviewers took it as some very interesting questions Lars was asking without at all dealing with the context in the film.

Frederik B, Thursday, 20 December 2018 14:05 (seven years ago)

Y'all should be following our winners. I'm ecstatic: https://twitter.com/FLFilmCritics

Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 21 December 2018 18:06 (seven years ago)

I guess I should see The Favourite huh

resident hack (Simon H.), Friday, 21 December 2018 18:14 (seven years ago)

it blocked Roma, didn't it?

Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 21 December 2018 18:22 (seven years ago)

Not even your sizeable bloc could block, eh Alfred?

love craptually (Eric H.), Friday, 21 December 2018 18:24 (seven years ago)

Supporting players and Best Actor though.

Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 21 December 2018 18:25 (seven years ago)

More impressive is the foreign-film result, unless that happened because of a bait-and-switch (e.g. "you give us Shoplifters in foreign, we'll go along with Roma in best picture")

love craptually (Eric H.), Friday, 21 December 2018 18:44 (seven years ago)

Cough

Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 21 December 2018 18:50 (seven years ago)

Yeah, I thought so. You have no morals.

love craptually (Eric H.), Friday, 21 December 2018 18:57 (seven years ago)

Neither will if, if and when I ever get a MN crix group off the ground.

love craptually (Eric H.), Friday, 21 December 2018 18:58 (seven years ago)

I said nothing!

Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 21 December 2018 19:02 (seven years ago)

nothing against you honeybunch, but no more critics groups

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Friday, 21 December 2018 19:48 (seven years ago)

Far fewer would be nice. Kinda cool with it just being the Nat'l Society tbh.

i may be seeing The Favourite tonight, will let you know if that's on a banner

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Friday, 21 December 2018 21:36 (seven years ago)

i can't try to watch that Lynne Ramsay thing after the horrific KEVIN movie that i couldn't finish

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Friday, 21 December 2018 21:38 (seven years ago)

It's fine bawdy fun, no more than that. xpost to Morbs

Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 21 December 2018 21:43 (seven years ago)

Minus the "fun," I'd argue. But it's still the season's most lauded bitchfest in any case.

love craptually (Eric H.), Friday, 21 December 2018 21:51 (seven years ago)

I tee-heed a couple times

still the season's most lauded bitchfest in any case.

still Roma

Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 21 December 2018 21:55 (seven years ago)

Minus the "fun," I'd argue

as current-release films about three absolutely awful people interacting with each other go, it's a rollicking lolfest compared to Burning

sans lep (sic), Friday, 21 December 2018 22:08 (seven years ago)

didnt u think Sacred Deer was "fun." Eric?

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Friday, 21 December 2018 22:09 (seven years ago)

isn't Eric from the Midwest? "Fun" is watching snow melt into a martini glass.

Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 21 December 2018 22:09 (seven years ago)

^turning into Bob Hope
