Members Faulkner Posted January 11, 2019 Members Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) The Green Book writer who tweeted anti-Muslim stuff has apologized. Lots of Oscar campaign rehab going on this week, in addition to Gaga disavowing R. Kelly. While a lot of the blowback is deserved, it’s always fascinating to watch how rival studios take each other down during Oscar season, especially with stuff that’s already been publicly available but didn’t cause controversy when it originally happened (like the Farrelly penis-flashing admission from 1998, a pre-social media era). Nate Jones writes about it in Vulture: I found that line telling: how #metoo has been used not to make Hollywood workplaces safer or more equitable, but instead cynically used as a weapon to exact revenge or cripple enemies.

Members Faulkner Posted January 22, 2019 Members Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) No Bradley Cooper in Directing is the gag of this morning’s Oscar nominations. It’s funny: the Academy used to love actor/directors (Beatty, Redford, Costner, Gibson). Not so much anymore, with Ben Affleck getting snubbed a few years back for “Argo.” No Farrelly for Directing for Green Book, but Lanthimos got in for The Favourite. No Won’t You Be My Neighbor? in Documentary Feature is a big snub. Roma got two acting noms (for Aparicio and da Tavira), which shows some strength and a willingness to embrace Netflix (along with the surprising nods for The Ballad of Buster Scruggs). Lots of fear in the industry that Netflix wants to make them obsolete, of course, but that sentiment could be softening in terms of the awards academies. Emily Blunt shut out again, this year for two buzzy roles (Mary Poppins Returns and A Quiet Place). Spike got his first Director nod. Some of saying that Blackkklansman is well-positioned to take Best Picture. The Academy’s drive to diversify members in terms of race, gender, and especially nationality means that the results could begin to diverge from the precursor awards, so we’ll see.

Members I Am A Swede Posted January 24, 2019 Members Share Posted January 24, 2019 Unusually one of the nominees for Live Action Short film might be this year's most controversial nomination. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-46964691 https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-46984472 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 24, 2019 Members Share Posted January 24, 2019 It's a disgrace that BR is nominated. Not only is it co-directed by a monster, it's mediocre fluff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 24, 2019 Members Share Posted January 24, 2019 It mostly seems to have been nominated just because it made money. This must be one of the worst years for Oscar frontrunners. Christian Bale seems likely to win for Vice but the movie was panned by many. Green Book seems likely to clean up, yet I have read so many, many, many bad things about the movie and the people who make it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted January 24, 2019 Members Share Posted January 24, 2019 People are PISSED about this. Only Gaga/Cooper and Kendrick/SZA have been asked to perform their Best Song nominees, even though Jennifer Hudson and Emily Blunt were among the other performers of nominated songs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
