Members Vee Posted November 30, 2022 Members Share Posted November 30, 2022 Ke Huy Quan richly deserves this. What a Hollywood story after starting out in so many of our childhoods, when he was a kid himself, then walking away and coming back again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 1, 2022 Members Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) As a huge fan of this film that I am proud to have sat through in theaters, I'm thrilled to see "Jeanne Dielman" trending on Twitter: If you check it out, be forewarned: It is largely static, silent shots of its title character going about her life and daily routine for hours, slowly teasing out slow details and mild changes that build to a shocking climax.

Members Bright Eyes Posted December 2, 2022 Author Members Share Posted December 2, 2022 For the first time in years, the battle for Best Actor is the one that is of the most interest to me. Essentially, in my mind anyway, it could potentially be Colin Farrell vs. Brendan Fraser and I don't know who I'm rooting for more. Colin has evolved beautifully as an actor from his initial bad boy image and the pictures/projects he's chosen the last few years have been smart, creative, and fascinating. However, I have seen Banshees, and though I loved the previous effort those same parties put together with In Bruges, Banshees left a lot to be desired for me as a whole. So maybe I'm just rooting for him to get one of those career Oscars at this point. Then there is Brendan Fraser, who has come through the [!@#$%^&*] that Hollywood can throw at you to make a triumphant comeback with a performance of a lifetime. If this awards season continues to build both of them up concurrently, my eyes will certainly be on the Best Actor prize come Oscar night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted December 28, 2022 Members Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) I feel like it’s inevitable with the growing number of actors who identify as non-binary (where do you put them?) and where the winds are blowing culturally. It’s becoming less and less acceptable for these institutions to maintain their old ways of doing business, especially when ideas of gender are being questioned and reconsidered on a wider societal level. And the Academy might follow in BAFTA’s footsteps with interventions to project a more inclusive image (e.g. a committee that selects some of the nominees, ensuring gender parity). I find those interventions to be questionable (these industries can get away with not actually doing the work behind the scenes to create tangible diversity while tooting their horns about their “inclusive” nominees year after year. Plus, would those nominees really representative of how the Academy feels? They should be. I also find it sorta condescending to actors/craftspeople in marginalized communities).

Members I Am A Swede Posted December 28, 2022 Members Share Posted December 28, 2022 It might not be a major issue for long since these awards shows are seemingly losing in relevance anyway. But then again, something like this might halt that trend...at least momentarily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted December 28, 2022 Members Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) That is very true. Sad that diversity only becomes valuable when these institutions start crumbling. Expecting people of color to shore them up and walk away with crumbs after their mostly white male predecessors already made sh*t loads of money and prestige when these institutions actually mattered.
