Oscars 2019

lol

someone important to me was thrilled by Titanic, my love for him made me love the film

biggest disappointment was Crash. after Ang Lee won best director I was really hoping that Brokeback Mountain would win. even Jack Nicholson looked dismayed when he announced the winner

Yup.

Ca-poh-tay

At the very least, I'm happy that Crash's entire legacy, only a decade-and-a-half later, boils down to "Worst Best Picture Winner Ever."

I liked Phillip Seymour Hoffman's humility in his acceptance speech, that he recognized it was the role of his life and was grateful he got the opportunity

ok watching the clip again it doesn't seem at all like I remembered it, not that great, why can't these people keep it short?

ultimately I was disappointed that Heath Ledger didn't win for one of my favorite performances ever

Good Will Hunting was much more frightening than The Silence of the Lambs

Alfred's obsession with the biggest, fattest fuck from Amadeus is one of his selling points that I'm here for.

That's not Elizabeth Berridge! BANG

Good Will Hunting was much more frightening than The Silence of the Lambs

lol

certainly Matt Damon and Robin Williams seemed more like cannibals than that squishy little Welshman

The best/worst thing I can say about GWH, 20 years later, is that I remember so little of it.

"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some mashed potatoes and a nice feckin' Guinness."

I just read the new Williams bio, and I believe he throttled Damon so hard in one scene he drew blood. Oscar for that!

Well, no, he didnt finish the job

Also:

Matt Damon after 2002 >>>>>>> Robin Williams film career

one of the friends I watch films with thinks that Matt Damon is completely personality-free, but in my opinion his Brett Kavanaugh impersonation on SNL disproves that.

I think that distinction goes to Ryan Gosling. As much as I like his musical talent I'm still waiting for him to show us who he is. I know the role called for it to some extent, but he was such a zombie in First Man

very strange cutoff, Alfred, as the best performance Damon ever gave was in Gerry (2002). Only his Scott Thorson comes close. (I didn't see any of that Bourne shit.)

I include Gerry, Morbs. There and in the Bourne films he learned to use his blankness for comic or creepy effect.

Time to drop Stanley Donen into the end of that obit reel and piss off all the Burt Reynolds fans.

ah yes, the core audience for stuntman and alligator-wrestling movies from 40 years ago have been clutching their hankies to their faces for six months, waiting breathlessly to see an photo of an old man in a thick salt & pepper wig appear for 0.8 seconds, three hours into a TV show of people they’ve never heard of giving speeches about their children

Damon’s blankness is totally weaponised in The Informant! btw. The entire film is built on his endless layers of affectless cover being peeled away to reveal even greater inscrutability beneath.

i'd really like to snog him.

sic, have u heard Oscar fallout before, cuz that's all true

I guess I'm comfortable with these predictions, and god have mercy on our souls.

all to be blessedly forgotten by Thursday

Just when will it be Amy Adams's year?!

She's pretty good. Why is she entitled to win when Garbo never did?

she should've won in 2005 and that's that

it’s true, 2005 was garbo’s year and everyone knew it

really need to see Minding the Gap. the trailer tripped me out, seeing Rockford and all these places and parks I know. Rooting for it.

Interesting that this will (likely) be the first decade since the '50s with multiple b&w Best Picture winners. Not that it means much.

and intended for a white & white audience

I'm still betting Roma is going to take BP

Why is Black Panther not nominated for visual effects?

The only things I’m sure of about tonight is that Cuaron will get Director, Glenn Close will get her Lifetime Achievment Best Actress, and that Dick Cheney horror show will get Makeup. Everything else is up for grabs.

Oh, and “Shallow” is a lock, too.

a phenomenon that will change how comic books get conceived and written

ha ha what

adaptations, I should've written

last year my friends @MatthewKBegbie @MorganPaigeLove & I made muppet versions of Oscar nominees and i hung them up around my house, and this year the tradition continues pic.twitter.com/vgTVk8vE7c

ah, that makes more sense

we've already seen how willing Disney is to adopt Phil Lord's methods though

I'd be 1000% more likely to watch My Friend Dahmer: Into The Dahmer-Verse though
