Hopefully they get Best Picture as well. Fingers Crossed.Never in doubt.
Ken was the best part of Barbie by a mileRyan Gosling performing “I’m just Ken” was the highlight of the show
And ended his speech with a thank you in Irish, the good man that he is.Cillian wins it
It was not in doubt. It had an over 90% chance of winning.Hopefully they get Best Picture as well. Fingers Crossed.
I agree with your takes, hot as they may be. Your views on American Fiction, Maestro, KotFM, Holdovers is taking the words right out of my mouth.Oppenheimer cleaned up. Won all the big awards pretty much, except best actress. Poor things won a few in the minor categories, but it’s Nolan’s night.
Well deserved. Most of the other best picture nominees were pretty crap this year. Although Anatomy of a Fall was good and I haven’t seen zone of interest or past lives. Kotfm was terrible, Poor Things was just weird, unsettling and had some shite acting. The Holdovers was an extremely okay film. Good enough, but one of the best films of the year, really? And Barbie? Please….feck off That’s an extended SNL sketch. American Fiction is an amusing, lighthearted comedy, but nothing special. And Maestro just a Bradley Cooper wankfest.
I would imagine at least the last 4 have been, the first 2 because of the pandemic meant they would have gone to streaming quickly and the 2 most recent because they came out earlier in the year (rather than the usual Oscar-y movies coming out in the UK and Ireland around the turn of the year).Is this the first time an Oscar winning movie has been available to watch on a streaming service at the time of the ceremony?
Do you mean paid for? 'Cos I've been waiting for it to get onto Netflix/Amazon/Now etc.Is this the first time an Oscar winning movie has been available to watch on a streaming service at the time of the ceremony?
I was actually thinking of Poor Things, which is on Disney +.Guess I need to finally get round to watching Oppenheimer then

Ah, so in general a film thats one one of the big awards?I was actually thinking of Poor Things, which is on Disney +.
Thinking of Oscar winners, specifically. Maybe it’s happening a lot recently. Always used to feel like you’d have to wait for them to come out on DVD or streaming, so Oscar buzz could get bums on seats in the cinema. Another nail in the coffin for cinemas, I guess. Especially the smaller, art house cinemas that screen films like Poor Things.Ah, so in general a film thats one one of the big awards?
I think lots have - Everything Everywhere was on streaming last year when it one the big gong.
In my local cinemas they’ve been showing all the Oscar nominated film again recently. It’s been marketing as Oscar week.Thinking of Oscar winners, specifically. Maybe it’s happening a lot recently.

Worth going to the cinema for this in case it's still on where you are, absolutely flew by despite the length and the second half was particularly brilliant.Guess I need to finally get round to watching Oppenheimer then
It should have been his 3rd, honestly. The Wind Rises is a much better film than Frozen.Hayao Miyazaki's The Boy and the Heron won the Award for Best Animated Feature. A very well deserved Oscar for the second time to the master after Spirited Away back 2 decades ago.
Bet he's shaking in his boots right now.Best Documentary Feature goes to 20 Days in Mariupol.
After Navalny last year, this is the second year in a row where the Academy tells Putin to shove something up his ass.
I'm not a big fan of Nolan's recent work but this was a very good film indeed. Loved it.Guess I need to finally get round to watching
Tenet was utterly shite but I quite liked Dunkirk. Missed a bit of climax perhaps but I could see what he was going for.I'm not a big fan of Nolan's recent work but this was a very good film indeed. Loved it.
Agree, and Interstellar was another awesome cinema experience, if that still counts as recent work.Tenet was utterly shite but I quite liked Dunkirk. Missed a bit of climax perhaps but I could see what he was going for.
I haven't liked a Nolan film since Inception, but yeah I reckon I'll enjoy this.I'm not a big fan of Nolan's recent work but this was a very good film indeed. Loved it.
dont think Oppenheimer is on any of our services yet (UK/Ireland) It is due on SKY cinema soon thoughIs this the first time an Oscar winning movie has been available to watch on a streaming service at the time of the ceremony?
It wasn't my favourite film of last year necessarily but I'd say it ranks in the top 3/top 5 of films having won the top nod since the turn of the century.I didn't like Oppenheimer that much and I'm generally not a fan of Nolan, but I haven't seen enough of the other films to be annoyed by the decision. But Oppenheimer is still better than previous winners like Green Book so it doesn't really matter.
I think it's good that audience hits have started winning Oscars again. For a long time the Oscars managed to annoy both mainstream watchers and highbrow watchers. Films like EEAAO and Oppenheimer are good "compromises".
I've only seen 17 of the 25 best pictures winners from this century, but I'm not sure if Oppenheimer would make my top 5. But it's definitely in the top half.It wasn't my favourite film of last year necessarily but I'd say it ranks in the top 3/top 5 of films having won the top nod since the turn of the century.
Well deserved. They should have done the acceptance speech in Japanese. Surely, we have the tech to do live English subtitles for foreign acceptance speeches.Godzilla Minus One has won the Award for Best Visual Effects. Very well deserved.
