Sinners was a very good, race swapped version of From Dusk 'til Dawn. The most it should win is an award for best remake.

One Battle is Hollywood pretending its still 2022. And it was boring as hell.

Aside from K-Pop, nobody is going to remember a single one of these films a decade from now.

I guess I'm in the minority here (heh, get it?) but I loved Sinners. There were subtle differences in the ways Smoke and Stack acted and the juke joint scene with Miles Caton was mesmerizing!

I get that many of y'all didn't get it or weren't enjoying it and think it's a From Dusk til Dawn rip-off (it's not) ... But in some ways it reminded me of The Color Purple... A movie that got robbed that year.

Sinners is a genre movie with a few interesting ideas and a few striking visuals, but doesn't really rise above its subject matter. The Color Purple however was a movie in an entire different category. That was a movie about real people, a movie that made you feel for the (female) characters, that left you thinking when it ended. I bought The Color Purple on Blu-Ray years ago and I probably should rewatch it again. I'd never buy Sinners on Blu-Ray.

It's a boring generic k-pop song with horrible overdramatic and cheasy lyrics sung by bad singers.

I actually thought this was a pretty solid Oscars. I agree with most of the big category wins, especially OBAA for best picture. Michael B Jordan winning over Chalamat surprised me but I'm not that mad at it, his was a solid performance and I don't think there was one significantly better to point at.

One Battle was great. Well deserved.

Sinners, lol.

"I'M HERE!" still sticks with me. Holy shit what a film!

Look at the mess left by those who attended the Oscars at the venue.

Didn't they claim to be very much in favor of the ecosystem and the environment?

 

[Mortisfacio]

I only watched like 8 movies all of 2025, but thought Sinners was the worst of those. Guess I'm not surprised it got multiple nods/awards.

Poor Brazil.

That's the upper floor. Peasants.

I laughed when he snuck in a thankyou to Will Smith, but almost like he didn't want anyone to hear it.

You think golden is a good song?

The Color Purple?

Ecosystem? they know it will be cleaned up, so they pig out and throw it on the floor, not in nature.

Thats nothing. clearly you've not been to my local cinema. You'd need a hazmat suit to clean up

Everyone disagrees with you, your ears are filled with wax, or just broken.

Listen to high tones, they are screaming, not singing.

It's a song for children where they scream the song because they cant sing.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Oh ok, you're just retarded, got it.

 

[SirTerry-T]

Guess that means "Fuck you Brigitte Bardot", eh.
A disgrace to leave her out of the In Memoriam segment.

It's Hollywood's big self fellating night, it shouldn't be that surprising. B.B was too classy for those lot anyway.

Very happy to see Amy Madigan get something for Weapons.

My 10-year-old loves it. Professional vocal coaches have been praising EJAE's three-octave range and that high A5 for months. It's rare to see that kind of technical difficulty in a pop track, let alone one that sweeps awards season. Hard to argue with a Grammy winner, a Golden Globe winner, and now an Oscar winner. Oh and it hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks.

I think some folks have been listening to mumblecore rap, low vocal range whispered lyrics, and autotuned pop for so long they have forgotten what singing actually sounds like.

 

[Puscifer]

The Color Purple?

Yes.

Imagine being the frontrunner for best actor, deciding to talk shit about ballet and opera, and then not winning. Lesson learned: don't fuck with the ballet and opera communities.
