Classic industry awards gravitating toward the wrong middlebrow candidates. Ergo...
I know CLEMENCY is neither widely seen nor easy to watch, but to those who have, Alfre Woodard's near no-show in this year's awards season so far looks close to absurd: no American actor this year is working at a higher level of detail, complexity and emotional intuition.— Guy Lodge (@GuyLodge) December 11, 2019

Harriet, many have been quick to point out, actually made a fairly large chunk of change. More than any other best actress candidate outside of Lupita, so far.
This feels early this year:

Clemency boasts one of my favorite drunk scenes in a while too.

At this point each year's Nat'l Film Registry list is about half eye-opening and incredibly cool-looking a-g or documentary works from the first half of the century, and half I Love the 80s/90s fodder.

Cool listMorbs where did you watch a 13 hour movie?
― The Mandymoorian (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 11 December 2019 17:55 (six years ago)
It screened at some fests and rep houses, split over three nights
― Simon H., Wednesday, 11 December 2019 17:57 (six years ago)
what does the film registry actually do with the things it preserves? Obtain celluloid prints and place them in cold storage?

I'm not part of the Ash is Purest White-Pain and Glory consensus. Need to watch Transit again; I've never been mad about Petzold.

in NYC, Lincoln Center split La Flor into 5 parts, I think. Took me 13 days, I think.
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 11 December 2019 18:12 (six years ago)
Transit would be in my top 5 fer sure
― Simon H., Wednesday, 11 December 2019 18:13 (six years ago)
How do you split La Flor in five?
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 11 December 2019 18:14 (six years ago)
it would be hilarious to watch one "part" per night considering the wildly divergent lengths of the parts
― Simon H., Wednesday, 11 December 2019 18:15 (six years ago)
Yeah, isn't one part like three days long?
― temporarily embarrassed thousandaire (Eric H.), Wednesday, 11 December 2019 18:28 (six years ago)
seemed so

The one at 5,272 played in main competition at Cannes, and how the fuck hasn't that cost someone their job already?
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 11 December 2019 19:19 (six years ago)
I had no idea they even had an article limit which I guess says it all.
The only WTF I care to mention is What's Next in the Worst
― Simon H., Wednesday, 11 December 2019 19:19 (six years ago)

― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 11 December 2019 19:22 (six years ago)
or i guess one of the worst*
they also stuck Endgame at the very bottom for the clicks, which? fine
― Simon H., Wednesday, 11 December 2019 19:23 (six years ago)
melancholia is #1, Avenger at #5,279 suggest this is mostly a list of movies in unranked order for clicks so wheeeeeeeeeeeee

Dallas Buyers Club is in the bottom quarter and it really should be in the bottom 4 or so.

the trouble with ranking them is that 30 of them should be in the bottom 3
